After 1989 one of the best years of Boris.😍 Total respect to finish 11 years in a row under top ten. One of the best serve & volley players ever who turned over the years also in a baseline player if required. God bless him.

[@rosar6294]

Pure physical athleticism, beautiful swing aesthetics whatever the stroke and always attacking style. Amazing charisma

[@ncf1]

beautifully said!

[@W15DUMB]

Idk if it's just me but I just love old style tennis(serve and Volley). It's maybe the finesse and creativeness in the net. Its what I fell in love with.

@@lotus630 :DDDDDdd yeah ..volley can be very useful and dangerous but what these players are doing, especially sampras is not that clever..i mean all the time they're going to the net after serve , even if it 's not necessary and they don't benefit from it..they just run to the net not even knowing where the opponent will hit the ball to :DDDDDDd that's dumb.......

[@bjornopitz6561]

Those backhand returns are nasty! :-)

[@C_AVATAR]

Nobody mentions it but Becker used a 18x20 racquet as opposed to a 16x19 racquet which helped him hit those on the rise returns. Djokovic uses a 18x20 racquet.

[@hehehehehahahaha2025]

Love how he took them early like that.

[@suatkayatennis]

Boom boom Becker was a beast on indoor surface. During 1992, Becker brought home seven titles, but in 1993, his personal life took a turn, and after a surprising marriage and a number of tax issues, Becker entered into a mid-career slump. He was able to recover from this by 1995, and once again found himself at Wimbledon. This time, however, though he beat Andre Agassi, he lost to Pete Sampras.However, Becker did win the ATP Tour World Championships against Michael Chang. However he remains one of my favorite players. Though the end of the 1990s was rocky for Becker, his colleagues greatly respected him, and even his rival, Sampras, said that Becker was the best player he had ever played. Throughout his career, Becker played best on indoor carpet and grass courts, and never won a tournament on a clay court.

Becker's backhand was majestic and underrated. I saw the enqvist match. It was extremely close. Literally decided by a point or two

[@mezanine10]

Becker's running backhand was one of the best ever.

[@saheribrahim5124]

the match between becker and enqvist was one of the best tennis matches i have ever seen in my life , becker was playing at his peak knowing sampras is eliminated , Enqvist was highly competitive and matched becker point by point , it was only a few points here and there which made the difference ,

[@Molloy1951]

Becker was such a tough player

[@feri7mble]

Retroactively calling this "Nitto ATP Finals" is kind of silly. What's the next move, editing the video to replace the IBM sign with a Nitto sign?

48 points in video 18 (38%) are unreturned serves 6 (12%) are easy volleys set up by serve 10 (21%) are unreturned return-of-serves basically 71% of points are determined by the serve or the return add in the first serve faults, double faults (if any), and preparation for serves, and the spectators spend over 85% of the time just watching serves, serve returns, and serve preparations and people wonder why ATP won't bring back the fast courts

[@thebigmonstaandy6644]

and this is highlights.you can see Federer-Sampras Match in 2001.i think their had 1st 3 shot rally only in 7th game of 1st set

[@lotus630]

@@thebigmonstaandy6644 old time fans love looking at 90s serve-and-volley tennis with nostalgia goggles but tennis popularity was actually plummeting with all the serve-oriented matches going on it's not even finesse S&V like Edberg and McEnroe did, it was just raw power S&V taking over it's no coincidence tennis didn't reach worldwide popularity until after courts became slower during the mid 2000s

[@thebigmonstaandy6644]

@@lotus630 the thing is,that a lot of modern players have also great volleys : Dimitrov,Tsisipas,Federer,Kyrgius,Thiem,Nadal,Tsonga.but to play serve and volley after every 1st serve ist useless,becaurce the returner can adapt his return and it is to much risk.also Sampras dominate tennis till 97 as he had great baseline game.in 98 came new tennisplayers with modern game and his baseline game was no match for them since 2000.and he lost his domination.but this is not possible to explane to old heads,who think that Sampras would beat Federer in straight sets

This is so much better than the one-dimensional nonsense of today.

[@ben1147]

Lol, what is this s&v only nonsense if not 1 dimensional? It’s boring because the rally is over after 2 seconds and you have to wait 15 seconds until the next point starts.

[@fundhund62]

@@ben1147 Great volleying is a genuine skill. But it's a skill this current generation has not mastered. Even the so-called "Big 3" are no exception. Federer and Nadal are decent volleyers at best, while Djokovic is pretty terrible in the forecourt. It's a shame.

[@Marc443]

Becker, Edberg, Sampras…these generation had a more complete game than the game today. The boring rallies of today are possible caused by the racket technology. Controlling is easier etc. Imagaine Djokovic would have Edberg‘s volleygame, unbeatable!

[@mezanine10]

@@ben1147 These players didn't s&v on every point. They often stayed back and rallied before approaching. Becker, Sampras and Edberg had no problem hitting with baseliners when they wanted to. That's the point. Different styles. Today's player never approach the net on a s&v or even volley during a point. They avoid the net like the plague.

[@SomeoneYouKnow2671]

0:05 That's a crazy low bounce, almost reminds me of grass. In later points the ball seems to bounce very low as well. Was this indoor court made to imitate grass?!

[@MM-bx1ei]

This a carpet court. It's not a hard court. Carpet surface is faster and lower bouncing than hard courts. But it's especially hard on knees, joints and can lead to injuries so it is not on ATP Tour anymore per players' request. However I believe there still a few tournaments played on carpet on the ATP Challenger Tour. One was played last week which Oscar Otte won.

[@SomeoneYouKnow2671]

@@MM-bx1ei Cool, thanks. The injury thing is new to me, I play on carpet sometiimes (in the winter) and I always found them really smooth and nice to play on, unlike the one time I was able to play on a hard court. Both are impossible for me to slide on, but maybe for pros it's easier to do on a hard court.

[@z1az285]

​​​@@SomeoneYouKnow2671 the bounce on carpet was lowish but consistent unlike 90s grass. I played on it a few times until they got rid of it, but I loved it a lot more than typical hard which is tough on the body. No problem on carpet for me. Speed wise, it's about the same as the Laykold hard surface I play on today but that's much better on the knees than most of the non cushioned hard surfaces.

[@SomeoneYouKnow2671]

@@z1az285 I played on grass once (training courts for Berlin WTA), and still play on the carpet courts in my city sometimes. The grass bounced significantly lower (and surprisingly consistent), but both are really fun to play on!

[@z1az285]

@@SomeoneYouKnow2671 Awesome. I do wish they still used carpet in the US. Though I will say Laykold is an excellent hardcourt surface. Fast, quite easy on the knees and with a higher bounce.

back when there wasnt doubles lines

[@BobbyDick22785]

Becker always was Chang's nemesis. Chang loved to slow down the game which Becker liked as he never was the fastest athlete - Agassi hated Chang to do that tho. Thus Chang never could capitalize on his game's primary strength against Becker.

Becker used to beat Enqvist and Enqvist used to easily beat Federrer and even an old and injured Roger easily beat Norrie a few months back in Wimby. Therefore Norrie would get destroyed by Borris and any surface but clay. He would just butcher the Brit...a sad scene.
