i wish Martin could have won a major. Seems like a great guy. Not the best mover but such a solid game, terrific ball-striker, very flat. And good volleys.
Man,people dont give serve and volley players from back then much credit...for that second point in yhe breaker-did you see how fast martin got up to that volley after that return? Try it in real life and see how difficult it is to return serve and then jet to net to vollet a bullet aim down the line or at your chest.
Man. Andre's shot @ 0:55 seconds described what he was all about as a player. You think you're going to push him off the baseline? Think again. Martin hits a solid deep backhand that would have backed any other player in the world up at least a few feet. Agassi strikes the ball at his shins and paints Martin into the corner with it.

Defense to offense in one shot. Point over.
