Boris Becker is one of the best players to have graced the game -- what a player man
If he only had trained a bit more, especially footwork...
When he reached Wimbledon final for the last time in 1995, he was only 27 but the way he moved looked much older. Maybe he could have reached much more.
Becker’s backhand = magic wand
Stockholm was Becker's best tourney. He won there 88,90,91,94 and did beat Edberg twice in front of a swedish crowd.
the backhand of becker was such an efficient weapon! really underestimated...
Especially the so called "Becker Blocker” - a straight and almost spinless backhand return winner
Yes. Great backhand.
sampras certainly dreamed of these longline backhand
Yeah I remember watching his bh as a kid in the 89 Wimbledon semis and finals and quite in awe.
pete did nothin with those voles at net and always pushing to beckers bak hand
Becker is a legend! Simple strokes but powerful. Humble in victory!
Humble? Sure?
@@Phoniq very self confindent but never arrogant .
Danke Boris - immer, wirklich immer, auf Deiner Seite.
Danke für die vielen Stunden.
Becker had always been my best player and will always be. When he was at this peak, his serve and volley game even surpassed likes of Federer. This video is amazing and is a delight to watch. Sampras looked clueless against him. Becker should have won more grand slams in his career with the amount of talent he possessed. Becker and Graf are my all time favourites.
Becker always played well against Sampras and he was amazing on indoor carpets but Sampras still dominates their all time head to head 12 - 7. Most of the times he didn’t look clueless at all.
All of Becker’s wins against Sampras were on the fall indoor circuit. Kudos to him for that, but that was his strongest surface and Pete was winding down for the year after the slams. Sampras dominated him everywhere else.
@@baronzbimg especially in their only clay meeting, same year in Rome in the final, Sampras won easily 616262.
@@rjamesyork Sampras always put much effort in the indoor season. He won the yec several times and had wins in Paris as well.
@@baronzbimg 12-7 is hardly domination.
Prime Becker was magic
He was past his prime here
Watching Him as a 15 year Old at his first Wimbledon Triumph at 17 made me fall in love with his style of play and Persona.
Becker my childhood hero..my game is cricket but I take immense pride in following the passion, calm aggression,the backhand ,serve and volley..everything about Becker is something else..Thanku Becker..
It´s actually sad how much better this is than today.
What a player he could have been with a little more discipline , footwork etc.! In 1994 he was only 26 and when he reached the Wimbledon final one last time in 1995 he surprised everyone. Sometimes he moved like an old man. His skills, techniques, strength, and fighting spirit were amazing!
Damn,i was at that event and watched plenty of amazing matches. Boris Becker was the best indoor carpet player in early 90's.
An era full of beautiful single back handed
The most gifted, natural player in the history of Tennis.
Had he played baseline game like today's boring robotic players, he could have won atleast 10 Wimbledon titles.
His backhand shots were the best ones & I haven't seen any player till now playing backhand shots with such accuracy and power.
He never played for titles, he always played his heart out, he entertained us and he always enjoyed his game.
He deserved more number of Grand slams, but he wasn't a selfish player like today's robots.
his backhand while good for the day, was useless compared to the 2000s and onwards.
@@steinanderson9849
The kind of power he generated with such an accuracy was the best even during those days & had he played with the advanced racquets like today's players, then he would have been very dangerous on any given day.
Even the best like Sampras had expressed that he hasn't faced any player like Becker.
Played in the most competitive era of all time when he was at his peak, could have easily win much more titles in easier eras.. Sampras milked the easier era from 1993 to 2002 with no real competition apart from Agassi and past-prime Becker.
Seeing this I feel beckers back hand is stronger than his fore hand. He used to devour like a lion grabbing his prey. It was suicide to give anything on his backhand then. It was a great sight to watch the serve and volley showing his prowess in returning big serves. Great feast. Thank you so much for uploading this gem!
Actually his backhand was a safer and more conservative shot than his forehand. The flat forehand was definitely a far more aggressive shot but with lower percentage unless he hooked it with heavy spin. But at his best both wings were deadly and he wouldn't miss on either side.
He used a 18x20 racquet for more control. Makes it easier to hit on rise,too.
Love him, the great BECKER 🙏 Thank you!!!!! I remember his photos on the wall of my room when I was child.. On one of them was written : Boris Becker the quickest service ever 267km/h 😃.. My everyday motivation ♥️
Yep truly.. Becker is an everyday motivation for me as well
Hello, thank you for the love and support you have shown over the years ... I want to say thank you very much that I couldn't have this without your love and support. I am rarely here and write to my e-mail .... borisbecker949@gmail.com
Sonia hachemi, Holy crap, I thought his fastest was 241-250 kmph and that is when the radar guns were ~ 16 kmph SLOWER. Do you know which tournament it was?
Nice to see players staying focused on the court rather than looking up to their box after every point. Fist pumps after each point won also not missed.
Becker and Sampras, two legends with probably most beautiful ground strokes of all time!
Becker hands down besides Ivan lendle the best of the best. In other words Becker is a badass player. Him and Stefan edberg had the smoothest serve and volley plays ever.
add McEnroe and that's the top3.
Rafter!!
Steffi Graf did the same thing at the 1999 French Open, beating Davenport, Seles and Hingis...
Yes ...but no one is really interested in the ladies tennis...where they get away with playing 2 sets and want equal rights....the real man's game is this
Eurocard Open was Becker’s backyard! He felt as natural on these courts as Sampras at the Wimbledon from 1993 onwards…If there was a grand slam tournament on these courts he could have added at least 3 or 4 more to his 6…
I was born in 1996 but men ... those 80s/90s where awesome... Not only in Tennis...Becker and Graff but also Formula 1... Senna,Prost and Schumacher. The Music the Technology ...
Couldn’t agree more
Graf Not graff 🤔😉
Becker's ball direction like Federer... Unpredictable... 👍
Now I know why Djokovic selected him as a coach, the passing shots os Boris were just amazing.
I was thinking the same
Wow. Perfection from Becker
The man was a legend
Epic music walk-on music.
Absolutely!
Whats the name of the music
@@sanketoreken2980 ruclips.net/video/DhlPAj38rHc/видео.html
Amazing
YES, but the outro is even better...THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL, savage.
Back when literally every point was a serve & volley. :D
*Beck hehe
watch Stefan Edberg. he always played serve and volley.
Boris , Magic Tennis , Smart backhand, waoooohhhh to me , the Best of the Best
I remember that time Becker, is King of Indoor....And fantastic Backhand
Becker had a great year in '94 at everything but the majors. I think his best Grand Slam result in '94 was the Wimbledon semifinal where he got destroyed by Ivansevic in straight sets, but played terribly in the other 3 majors that year. But he had a great summer prior to the U.S. Open (remember thinking he had a shot at winning it but lost in the 1st round) and since his best surface was indoor carpets he had a great fall after the major season.
His backhand was criminally underrated.. He could do everything with that shot
Surprised Becker ‘only’ won 6 slams he could and maybe should of won at least ten slams but still a excellent career and a great character
Well, back in the day the overall level on the tour was much higher. You didn´t have just three people good enough to win major tournaments, but more like twenty.
Different times, and you can´t really compare.
He definitely had every shot in the book, and I wonder how many of today´s players you can say that about?
There was a lot of competition at that times: he turned pro in 1984, so he faced Lendl, Edberg, Wilander in their best career moment ... and later in early 90s people like Sampras, Agassi, Ivanisevic, Courier and many more ... so basically he was unlucky to face the best players of 2 generations (middle 80s and early 90s)
Yep he didn't do justice to his talent
There were 4 wimbi finals lost..
@@fundhund62 if twenty people can win the level at the top is lower.
I love this man Boris please. Get out of jail soon
Boris “The Backhand” Becker 👏👏
So nostalgic to read those top 10 names. Ivanisevic became number for a very brief time just due to his serve without winning a major. He had terrific serve but not so great overall game until he came back at old age and finally won Wimbledon.
I love this game. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work. 💐🌹👍🏻👍🏻
He had amazing passing shots and returns. That's why he cooperated well with Novak.
The Becker back hand was always pretty consistent. It’s his forehand that would get him in trouble. He’d go for too much on the forehand and take too many chances. But then again that’s why he was so exciting to watch. When those shots were falling in he was a winner machine.
Watch his 1991 ATP RR performance vs Pete. Set 3 was magic. Unreal performance off both wings from the baseline
1:03 one of the best shots I’ve seen
1:01
Sir Benjamin The Bold that was the start of the shot my time was at the end of shot but ur timing is better
the stress on the wrist for that shot.. a very very difficult shot indeed.
Becker is the best indoor player I’ve ever seen
Even Sampras who was the only One even to Becker on carpet said this
Lendl and Sampras were good on carpet too
@@nizzam1 i gather carpet played at a similar pace to grass, with a higher bounce.
Have you ever heard of novak djokovic☺️
@@NamanSharma-rf7hy did Novak ever win a tournament on carpet court?
Good old times.
I hope someone used Stayin' Alive as his walk-on music
In 1994 he was well and truly alive. Not stayin alive.
Giocatore semplicemente fantastico. Forse ha vinto poco in relazione al talento e la forza che aveva ma all'epoca come si può vedere la concorrenza era spietata. Credo che da Sampras ad Agassi a turno i primi 6 sono stati numero uno al mondo. Tanto per fare capire il livello di allora
His backhand return was called the“ Becker-Blocker“
The 90's, the serve and volley era !
THOSE PASSING SHOTS!!!
Einzigartige Rückhand !!!!!!!!
schade, dass das Serve & Volley Spiel fasst gängzlich ausgestorben ist, find ich sehr schade. Danke Boris für dein tolles Spiel, immer voller Einsatz für den schnellen, mutigen Punkt.
becker was a genius indoors
Just feels like back then there was a little bit of everything for players. So exciting. Every now and then technology fails, as it has in tennis now.
Back in the day there were plenty of people warning against tennis becoming one-dimensional if no limitations were being put on the racket revolution, Jimmy Connors being one of them. Sadly, no one listened.
Everything? Man there was only serve&volley and rallies lasted 10 seconds...
@@andreazonin Firstly, I choose serve and volley over endless baseline strokes back and forth. Lack of creativity, skills, touch and subtle game play. Personal preference. But I know that most tennis players and fans past or present would lean in favor towards the previous decades. But totally respect your opinion too.
That was best tennis era
Das waren noch Zeiten!
Back in the day when Stockholm attracted the best players.
Absolutely brilliant tennis!
Boom boom Becker, this call tennis, brilliant Becker love 😍 u. 🙏 🙏 🙏
In women's side steffi graf did this in 1999 french open beating lindsay davenport,,monica seles and martina hingis in quarterfinals,,semifinals and finals respectively..
That DTL backhand...wow
Backhand at 2:43 was amazing.
God I wish we could still have serve and volleyers
Today´s players simply don´t have the skill to do it.
Very unlikely today. With returning skills and gear of todays players it's almost impossible. See: ruclips.net/video/p3SmrwGg1gE/видео.html
And honestly, in the top era of serve and volley in 2000, when top players like Krajicek, Ivanisevic and Sampras met, we couldn't see anything but dozens of unreturnable serves or first volleys. Few returns, no all court play just serve and sometimes one volley. Not very interesting after one hour.
That's why we were such fans of Agassi who was the first star able to break volleyers dominance in 90' :-)
So you'd prefer servebots rushing to the met at every single point, and either hitting a volley winner, or getting passed. Instead of long points of athleticism, endurance, strategy, ball placement, power and accuracy? Well...
I agree. Variety in tennis, contrasting styles. There's athleticism to net play, for crying out loud. Anticipation, focus, explosion, daring. Today's tennis is an abomination due to the ridiculous equipment changes. It's gone too far.
fundhund62 it’s not a question of skill it’s just the way they chose to play the game and the pace of the return game. I also wish we had more variety in today’s game. It’s rather one dimensional.
LEGEND!
What a top 10 line up that is👌
Becker what a boy. ..
forty - love, forty -fifteen, forty - thirty, deuce
advantage Becker
Boris is geil
Had to search this song after watching this video ;)
The Winner Takes il All on the match point!
This was sick
Ther serve and volley meta
Don t forget the boris s volley. I think he had the most strong wrist til the federer era. But the same wrist betrayed boris during the wimbledon edition won by krajicek. The match vs godwin. Sorry for my english
On his day he was the greatest.
Phenomenal Becker.
Becker was probably the greatest indoor tennis player.
Boom Boom !
Most effective backhand in the game
Stark!!!
he was a great player. too bad he lost against stich in 91 wimbledon, and sampras in 95.
His Wimbledon winning score should have at least 6. Loss against Stitch still hurts to us.
@@madhukark8327 i know it really does hurt lol
Man, the 90s with Becker, Stich, graf, Huber, Tennis was in german hands.
2:23 wait Ivanisevic had a one handed backhand?
He used it rarely
...but at 2:29 he regrets it
@@theoldkellerhand I think it looks more natural than Tsonga's. Really nice technique here.
@@theoldkellerhand ohbh are good for shorter players , dhbh good for taller players
lol at those horrible volleys from Sampras. Was there one good volley in those highlights? Setting Becker up like no tomorrow. Terrible first volley
Sampras looked tired.
the youngest player to win grand slam then the only player to defeat top three to win a championship what more he can ask for
what a backhand
It s impossible to imagen today....atp250 stockholm indoor with the top 3 playing the tournament
The Winner Takes It All.
i remembered, becker reached his best level, then came the master final against Sampras
That was one of the greatest game ever
So where is the match against Stich?
Bobbele on fire 🔥🎾♥️
Hello, thank you for the love and support you have shown over the years ... I want to say thank you very much that I couldn't have this without your love and support. I am rarely here and write to my e-mail .... borisbecker949@gmail.com
It's Stockholm..it's Becker..and it's ABBA with 'Winner Takes It All'...
Then and now...different world..
❤Legende
he looked may more comfortable on the baseline than Pete and Goran
yep. that's because he had a well executed base-line game too. many people forget that he was more than just serve and volley. ;)
These two shots from 1:20 wow
He learned from Edberg. Sampras was a slow learner ;p. But he got it right some time later ;)
And yes, for all those Djokovic fans out there, some non grand slam finals were best of five.
Didn't Nalbandian do something similar in 2007 or am I mistaken?
Yep 2007 Madrid (Nadal, Djok, then Fed). Followed it up by beating Nadal and Federer again that year at the 2007 Paris Masters. What's remarkable is he just absolutely obliterated Nadal on both occasions: 6-1,6-2 and 6-4,6-0 (the latter being the Final)
Bollocks That’s why I don’t get why Nalbandian did not a win any grand slams! He was too good not to.
Sure did: ruclips.net/video/nWkXdaUNSx0/видео.html
One of the best backands ever seen but damn the volleys from Sampras was soooo bad
Says beats top 3 then me sees its top 2
Probably just didn't have the highlights from the Stitch match
Rushabh Kapasi it was the top 3, the video just doesn’t show the 3rd ranked player
ben gray what do you mean?
I mean I thought the top 3 was going to be Sampras Agassi lvan Lendl sorry spellin might be wrong
Boris, it had never happened to you before because before YOU were one of the top 3.
High class tennis from Becker. One of the great athlete.
Becker was the 1st to do it, the Djokovic & Nalbandian did it in 2007, then Medvedev did it in 2021.
I feel bad for Becker. I think he was a good person who made some risky and ill-advised investment decisions. It doesn't take away from the legacy of his tennis career. Hope he can rebound from his prison sentence and turn it into a popular Netflix series. :)
