Stefan Edberg v Pat Cash Full Match | Australian Open 1987 Final

[@ivanrodrigo4558]

Cash had presence, and the classic Australian game , the balance in the serve, rhythm, volleys ...amazing

there was a time when tennis was beautiful

[@alfredbenedek3398]

my good man, I've seen the entire match, in 1987. You were / are still the examlenery sport man of all tennis! Stefan, you eaned all point! You are my ideal tennis pl;ayer of all!Eventhough, now we are writing 2023.

[@fastdunn]

What a textbook for serve and volley skills and strategy !

[@zeddeka]

John Barratt commentating and making an interesting comment at 01:47 - the courts at the Australian Open back then when it was held at Kooyong were weird. They were built on a slope to assist with drainage and you were hitting the ball uphill from one end, downhill from the other. As John Barratt said, it really seemed to disturb a lot of good servers. It may well go some way to explain why both Boris Becker and John McEnroe never really performed well when the Australian Open was held at Kooyong.

[@My40Love]

Thanks for another full ATP match.. bring them more :)

[@fernandojorgerenart2638]

Cash’s volley throughout 1987 was by far the best in the history of this beautiful sport, which used to be more sober and technically elegant back then.

[@김성훈-e2m]

thanks for watching different style tennis match. this style's tennis is interesting. this match's picture quality is great.

[@ChilenoEsteban2024]

Que gran partido...la facilidad ,la simpleza del tenis 🎾 de Edberg es impresionante ..creo que debe ser la volea más elegante que he visto 💯💯💯🎾

[@canadianavell]

Pues en los tiempos que corren, Edberg no destacaría, sería un jugador obsoleto. Impresionantemente pobre el tenis de los 80. Becker tampoco sería un jugador destacado hoy.

[@ChilenoEsteban2024]

@@canadianavell no concuerdo ese era el tenis 🎾 que se jugaba en esa época ..tienes que ver el contexto ,raquetas,pelotas ,otra preparación física ..era lo que había en ese tiempo ...el big 3 si hubiese estado en esa época no habría jugado como lo hacen ahora ..

[@eric6281]

Serve/Volley vs. Serve/Volley. Wow, we may never see that style again EVER!!!!!!

[@rushrush1209]

We never will. Players are too powerful in their ground strokes now.

[@fundhund62]

​@@rushrush1209That has nothing to do with it. A good volleyer will withstand power without much trouble. Volleying has become a lost art in today's game, that's why we don't see it anymore.

[@jeromelevillain9301]

Magic Stefan great

[@darealgeegaming]

Now this is what we call a grand classico, fire forever. Stefan is a true beast, so fierce ❤‍🔥🔥👍

[@anwarahmed7123]

I liked Stefan Edberg not for his game but for his looks !!!!

[@davidherbertsson2699]

Edberg have the best volley ever

[@davidherbertsson2699]

So much funnier tennis in 80s and 90s

[@johnrenehan7406]

Cash had one of the best top spin back hand lobs going .... Awesome shot

[@johnrenehan7406]

As an aussie and fan, it was interesting that after this loss, a leading magazine here was incredibly positive and praized Cash's form and performance during that years AO. The author of the article ( cant remember their name ) went on to say that Cash will likely go on " to win this years Wimbledon" . Thought it was a bold statement at thst time - but sure enough , Cash blitzt the field at the 1987 Championships, soundly beating Lendl in the final

[@AMB-yr4df]

people were smoking behind players...it was not a problem at that time

Great Victory for Stefan in five sets over Pat Cash.🙄😯👏💯🔥

The golden age of Serve & Volley

[@yoharlemmusic4411]

Very boring tennis...!

[@mateosimon4237]

@@yoharlemmusic4411 Well, it was a diferent style, definetely a trend in those days, although there were Legendary players (Lendl the most notable) who never considered playing like that. But remember, that many of the most representative champions of serve & volley were great base line players as well. Becker, Edberg, Sampras later on. A great example is the Becker-Sampras classic 1995 final

[@SuperHammaren]

Lendl tried in Wimbledon, but never managed to win anyway.

[@davidherbertsson2699]

Edberg was pure class1987-1992

[@wassilafritschy2793]

Oh la la la, Stéphan edberg, je l adore un joueur tellement complet et toujours aussi simple on a vu à Roland garros 2023 🎾👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@elliotmiller7427]

I have never watched a old tennis match before they are playing very different from modern players

[@timez32]

1:09:15 slightly controvercial overrule.

[@luicheung5883]

In 80’s, the tennis players usually tucked in their T-shirts and the shorts were shorter than nowadays.

[@rajeetguha]

Could you upload the 1987 Australian Open fourth round match between Boris Becker and Wally Masur.

[@onnyparun3244]

Pat was the Master of the long volley

[@redroad9949]

Today's players would struggle to play with the equipment of yesteryears, especially the really short shorts.

[@yacovmitchenko1490]

Classic serve-and-volley tennis of a high order, no doubt. Edberg is surely one of the greatest players ever in that category. Didn't Pat win Wimbledon that year, beating Lendl? If so, he had a truly great year. Looks a little like a young Mel Gibson.

[@prinzessindianavonbaden787]

I wonder, why Becker didn‘t win AO in the time, it was on grass. I love that serve-and-volley time in the end of the 80‘s. The gigants were Becker and Edberg.

[@johnwallace1080]

who is the commentator ? nice voice !

[@MarcoSpeaksNadsat]

John Barrett, a player back in the 50s, and husband to former Wimbledon champion and world #1 Angela Mortimer.

[@johnwallace1080]

@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat thanks 🙏

[@jliang70]

There are two commentators in this match, John Barrett is one of them, the other is Allan Stone. This video is coming from the old Australia Channel 7 archive. Channel 7 had the broadcasting right to tennis during the Australian summer tennis events. Allan Stone was also a player from the 70s.

[@MarcoSpeaksNadsat]

@@jliang70 Nobody has ever referred to an Aussie accent as a nice voice 😀😉

[@jliang70]

@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat I did not say that was a nice voice, did I? I just said there were two commentators.

[@jpants5144]

Was slower grass/ higher bounce than Wimbledon. Plus bank in 80s it wasn’t regarded as top tier grand slam, many top guys didn’t bother turning up. Didn’t really get full recognition till mid 90s

[@halleck3]

"Cash is the best net player in the game at this moment." Nah, bro. That'd be Edberg.

[@SpeedIng80]

I have to say that the Australian Open were much better on lawn court ...

[@rushrush1209]

Grass is certainly easier on the body than hard courts. But attendance has skyrocketed since it moved to Melbourne Park.

[@fernandocastro3905]

tennis.

Last AO in the grass

[@LydiaBarnardBarnard]

Pat where is your shorts. Short shorts was in butbhis is bad

[@DonQuickZote]

To lose to two Swedes in five set finals looks like carelessness.

[@tobyhart]

nah just a Swissfortune (i know wrong country but the only way to sell the pun)

[@amritpalsingh3293]

Men's shorts were shorter at that time. Women's skirts were longer. Now Men's shorts are longer and women skirts shorter.

[@LydiaBarnardBarnard]

Must also note they say volleys was the best back in those days but Federer make it looks like child's play. Perhaps different technology in rackets however tennis technique way better today.

[@fundhund62]

Federer's volleys were rather poor compared to these two.

[@Gertzy41]

Hey pat did you ever recover from the jack 😅😅😅😅

[@wassep965]

Why are they playing on grass? If this is Australian Open and not Wimbledon?

[@skyfuzzball8312]

Yes, This is the last year they played in this type of court!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Hotttttttest Ever Tennis MAN S✝️EFAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@luvabhi3]

Serve and volley was lost due to the loss of grass courts. Every other explanation is bull shit; period.

[@nastaseis1261]

agreed, I liked these matches better than today's and I also think today's strings create so much spin the net rusher never has the advantage because the ball can be dipped so low at their feet with these strings

[@fundhund62]

Not really. A good volleyer will be able to play S&V on any service. That being said, grasscourts are indeed the natural habitat for serve and volley players.

[@tobyhart]

Cash should have withdrawn.

[@FrederickJohnSebastian]

Painful to watch; nerves got the better of both players; points were lost not won. Double-digit double faults by Cash alone: 3 full games worth. so many errors on big points by both. Someone had to limp over the finish line and that was edberg

[@zeddeka]

Cash seemed to get visibly tired in that fifth set

[@danielhkhk7283]

Theses players would be destroyed by the top 50 players of today.

umps should be calling foot faults on Cash...must be Aussie refs ! Glad to see Cash lose this Final ! ..hahaha.

[@markthomas3730]

never liked Cash..arrogant, and not much of a tennis player in my professional opinion..

[@alfredbenedek3398]

No? Pat Cash was just a bit more sooner out spoken, for he liked to play, calm circumtances, he demanded, fairness, and he was a champ alrighy, but different tallent. - Yet, i always favored Srefan, for his calm, sensible playing style. For one thing, Stefan always was a trye / good sport figure to me! Even to this day + 2023.

[@maxfrasier]

In my professional opinion Cash was a very good tennis player

[@rebecalinares5393]

And what have you done in your life?

[@ivanrodrigo4558]

Pat cash was a hell of a player , some of his volleys are from Another planet

[@zeddeka]

@@rebecalinares5393 What's that got to do with anything? Hitting a lump of rubber over the net doesn't make you a good person.

[@Malemukgmail]

WOW great match . Beautiful Serve & volley from both players . Just Edberg seems faster on his feet and with a bigger kick on his serve . This was truly a golden era for tennis 🎉. Commentators seems heavily biased towards Cash, guess it’s all good 😊 especially considering the outcome of the match 😀
