Serve and volleyers - we need more of them but hard to play that wonderful style with the quality of racquets being produced! Rafter is a treat to watch- If I remember rightly I watched his first ATP match played in Auckland when he was 18 which he lost first round-Quality player!
If Rafter played in the 80s he would have an amazing record IMO. The best pure volleyer I've seen. And the athletisism to match considering what he had to deal with in his era.
@@raffarmenio6213 Edberg and McEnroe were much better
@@TheColourwonders Edberg was a genius volleyed, but Rafter was technically as good! McEnroe is behind Edberg and Rafter
The problem nowadays is the surface speed! It’s not conducive to a serve and volley style
@@bengray5013 I reckon you are a Rafter fan😀
The last all-Australian Major final (men's or women's) to date.
Talent
Dimension Nibiru and Aldebaran A is in, what do I read?
Philipoussis handsome scud
ScuDishy.
Pat were pretty easy on the eye, too. And a much more athletic build.
7:20 Mac Cam! 😂😂
Miss serve volley.
Australian tennis (and also American) were scrooed when playing conditions were slowed down.
Should have been 2 trophies for the two of them being Dishy.
Mark Philippoussis and Marat Safin were like statues
Next gen even taller. Isner, karlovic, zverev, tsitsipas. Giants
Isner next gen…what??! Lol
And Karlovic is literally 40 years old! Lmao
@@leolionroarrrrrrr5509They are tall but lanky,only Tsitsipas has a good frame.
The trophy pose of those two servings is just like a trophy
RAFTER SERVE WAS ALWAYS THE SHOT WHICH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT , OTHER WISE EVERY SINGLE PART OF HIS GAME WAS GREAT
His serve is like Edberg's. It's meant to set him up for the volley, not to ace or blast the opponent off court like Sampras's or Phillipoussis's here. In that sense, it's pretty effective.
@@tomsd8656 his athletic body and height should allowed him to serve better at least match tim henman
@@saheribrahim5124 But I don't see anything bad about his serve.
Rafter was a spot server.His wonderful kick serve allowed him to make the first volley.Pretty similar to Edberg.
@@SuperBosbon what ever but i was always under impression that he can serve better
😂😂😂it's very different of today style of play.
Rafter was different because he was a genuine serve volley player. He disrupted other people's games and tried to keep the points short. Philippoussis wasn't very different at all. If you dropped Philippoussis into today's era he would still be a top 10 player if he were interested in playing properly.
This could have been a much more competitive match. If i were Philippoussis, I would have hit deep lobs as much as possible on returns to keep Rafter away from the net. Lob returns are not very common but they are effective against net rushers. Rafter was not very good at hitting high bouncing groundstrokes.
I like gold men with black hair. Middle Eastern.
Middle Eastern men like 'plus-size' women
I read Enuma Elish. Marduk Nommos male made human males.
What is evolve male, human? I want to meet an alien male who is kind from other dimension.
Phillipousis just choked this match away
Rafter made only 3 unforced errors the entire game.
@@peterookotai6965 both can be true. Remarkably solid performance by Rafter but 5 aces to 12 double faults is not a good serving day from Phlipper.
He never had the lead in this match and he got destroyed. 🤡
Tennis was super super boring back to the day of volleyers
And today,almost everyone are robot baseliners.
I think tennis lacks variety nowadays,which makes the game far more interesting.
Oh yeah. How do you like 50-shot baseline ball bashing. Much better?
