That dive at 1:25 is the most memorable dive in the history of the sport. I remember watching that in my living room when I was a kid, live on television. Seeing it again is so nostalgic. Boris is a huge part of the reason I chose tennis to be my career. I haven't had the career Boris had (not many have), but he inspired me to make a living out of what I love to do most. Thanks for the video mate, and thanks to Boris for being Boris...........JAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last answer is strange. Becker hit his knees as a boy several times, so his (and Steffi Graf´s) trainer Boris Breskvar forced him to practiced the dive on a training-mat indoors.
I like Becker, he had balls and personality which is something current top players don't really have.

My favourite one is his dive against Vilas in Forest Hills 1987 which lead to a match point. Even Vilas was shaking his head in disbelief.
Totally agree with Boris....definitely more of a psychological impact against the opponent when diving.
I'd like to ask him when he last bought a comb? Great player and inspiration for many who can remember the '80s.

The double-dive against Lendl in Wimbledon killed Ivan´s last bit of spirit. :D
