@@TheGilles82 True and McEnroe, but Becker's game was more "modern" (blueprint for the game today). That's why he won two Australian opens on medium slow hardcourts and as late as 1996 while Stefan could not despite 2 finals (1990,1992).
@@z1az285 Becker had an old style, he was heavy and his technique required wide openings,…he wouldn't make a game today. Technically Edberg was superior to the German.
@@TheGilles82 What utter nonsense. If Edberg was technically superior why is their H2H 25-10 in favor of Becker? Why couldn't Edberg win on Rebound ace? You know the answer but your bias won't allow you to admit it. "Wide openings"? You have absolutely no idea Becker could adjust his swings to compensate, but that's your problem. Old style my @$$. He and lendl were the blueprint for the modern power game.
Thanks, Stephane. You're showing some good stuff. Notice how Becker, as a right-hander, was landing on his right foot when serving, as opposed to today's players. Cheers.
yep, one of the few ever to do so. Made him run quicker to the net. michael Stich could land on both feet after serving - but he could also walk on water, metaforicly speaking , when he was in the mood.
Cheers mate.. If you are interested like I am in the mechanics of a perfect serve - technically a downward diagonal strike. ruclips.net/video/9QL1sglyouU/видео.html The recent back foot trail is from staying back ( Jimbo appears to have started that in Open Era ) when has more time to recover balance. As you can see, back foot lead was the norm. It is biomechanically more efficient but most important there was no balance recovery needed to advance - a critical factor in SnV. The last were Becker and Stich I believe. I know Edberg, Rafter, Mac, Pete, Henman, Ivanisevic et al uses lead foot landing. Oddly enough I came across Lendl landing on back foot early on in hits career. Cheers.

@@kaialoha You probably also know this, but just in case: the back foot landing first was a vestige from the times when the rules dictated that you cannot be airborne during the serve. It's true however that it can also aid in getting to the net faster, but I question just how much of a difference it makes, considering two of the best SnV experts EVER (McEnroe & Edberg) both elected to land with their lead foot. I reckon they would've opted for the rear foot landing if it really were to be that big of a benefit with no drawbacks. Just speculation on my part, though.
Those were the days.2of the best of their times.both in their prime.serve and Volley Experts.edberg was Very good.becker a little better in all.sad that a Player of His calibre won only 6 grand slams.

Nobody. Edberg's volleys were a thing of beauty. People these days lose their shit over Federer making the kind of volley that Edberg could've made in his sleep lol.
Not that sure about that...I do prefer that kind of tennis but nowadays players and shots are too fast to play like This! and Federer do what he do in a faster play...maybe we cannot compare them. Obviously slower play allow you to be more precise with volleys like Edberg

It´s an eastern forehand grip. And he lands with the right foot (it "should" be with the left foot). All in all, it´s was one of the best servers ever, very affective and beautiful to watch.

I love Edberg's volleys, but come on.... using your logic we could say Edberg was 80% volleys because his forehand was terrible and his serve lacked power. Serving like Becker is not an easy thing to do, and he had great groundstrokes & volleys too when he was in the zone.

Becker's best surface was actually on the indoor carpets. The faster surfaces grass and carpets just favored his game.

In the 70's/mid 80's it was really common to land on the right foot. Noah is another example, there are plenty more.

Amazing - Boris Won US Open Wimbledon and Didn't Finish End Of Year No 1.. ( Ivan Lendl )..
And semis at French!
Ah, the good old days. Back when Paris actually played like it should: fast on indoor carpet with a low bounce.
perfect video and picture quailty
i saw the match without a clue how it ends but Look at their faces..Boris is so Self confident…so much strength and power
Edberg showing a beautiful backhand
you are so right
the most fluid and beautiful motion ever.
@@Turbominchia2 Yes, he could generate a lot pace on passing shots but surprisingly not on groundstrokes where he used the opponents pace of shot
Becker had the better backhand actually. More powerful and technically sound.
great match from becker
No screeching, grunting or excessive towelling off after missing a first serve.
Merci pour l'upload
Violent le service de BB
J'y étais avec mon papa ✌️
whos of today players is capable playing such volleys ? Sharp, close to the baseline. Would be a weapon even today.

Edberg was the reason for my tennis interest. He was a wonderful player, but didn't get much success. He ruled no.1 for many years.
The shorts were obscenely short😅
Boris my childhood legend in jail oh my good
best match
First thought: Hope the crowd are wearing helmets.
Becker vs Edberg head to head 25:10
Boris is my man... but sad to say against Edberg, he was 1-3 in GS and 0-1 in Tour Finals...
@@kaialoha You can´t win every single time. The h2h makes it abundantly clear that Becker was the stronger player, though.
