    Yeah... they turned tennis into a one dimensional sport.

    The other guy mentioned racquet technology.... that certainly played a role, but so did the development in string technology allowing for more topspin and thus harder and more tightly angled shots. To top it off, they slowed the court surfaces down making it more advantageous to wait for the ball to bounce.

    For me the 80s were the best... when all styles could compete on equal footing.

  • @DjJoeee Racket Technology has killed serve and volley. In the days of wood, you could not hit the ball as hard as now. The volleyer actually used to have time to get to the ball. It was not trivial to pass a volleyer. Today, the ball is past the volleyer before he even has time to react.

  • these days you hardly see people run straight towards the net, it's more baseline play nowadays

  • I could watch these legends all day long.

  • Very cool to see Borg smile and have fun on court :)

  • borg can beat me flat -_-

  • Bjorn Borg, legend, man. the guy looks pretty old but his skill is still impressive.
