dont you think if the new technology helps the returner it would improve the server even more. lol not only would pete be in the top five he would be number 1 destroying murray djokovic nadal, and having a little more trouble with federer, sampras in his prime destroys any player history, his game is built to win.not to be flashing from the baseline.
Edberg strategy- serve into the body, jam the opponent, and finish of with a backhand volley, which is arguabally the greatest of all time. excellent tennis player!
As I have said: Pete is the best attacking player. If I was Fed´s coach, I would suggest him to change his game. Fed can´t go on with his old tactics: slicing onto the backhand & attacking with his forehand. He must play the returns more aggressive, as Pete did, approach more often to the net. NOT as often as Pete, coz he can not do that as good AND because today the passing shots are better. Perhaps Annocone has already told him so. In London, Rog already played more aggressive.
Yes. Pete´s game was made for fast courts. I never said anything else.
There is possibly noone who was more perfect as a attacking player. The question is: would this still be enough to be a top five player today, because tournaments now have slower surfaces AND return play has improved. Modern players have more spin and counterstrike abilities. Pete´s famous chip n chart would problably not work vs Nadal. Late Pete was repeatedly beaten by new players (Safin, Hewitt, Kuerten, etc.
Pete serve is not faster, unless you can prove it. Fed top serve speed had been sometimes even higher then Sampras. Sampras had the better second serve. In the wimbledon accounter, it did not pay for Pete. Fed had the better serve/return overall results (aces, double faults, return points etc.). And that all, despite the fact that Pete had 69% of first serves in, which is a respectalbe number, enough to beat Agassi and the likes. Fed admires Pete, so do I. Get that right, man.
@ulizinho petes game is fast courts. all the games against federer were real. pete practiced and got ready for their matches. pete just lost at msg 3rd set tie breaker. federer and sampras went for it. thats 100%

@SchlagerOskar Let me fix that phrase for you:
"Edberg's clothes are beautiful." or "Edberg's clothing is beautiful." or else.
