    The reason why it's so brilliant to have these kinds of players on the tour is it forces great players to analyse, adapt and overcome, which makes for a far more interesting spectacle than just grinding out baseline rallies with power and accuracy.
    Amazing to watch.

    This is why you can never underestimate players who are ranked 1000 or whatever, as all it takes is for them to play the match of their lives and suddenly they are playing at top 5 level. It’s very rare but this video is evident that it can happen in tennis, but I think it was more so when tennis was more serve and volley oriented.

      @@h4rder10 Agree. Actually, he says he should have been more hungry to win. I think he was focused on the Davis Cup matches in Asia including tough matches against Srichaphan or Paes for instance and was on fire as usual. But on tour, he missed some chances to be a top 100 player. If he had won the GS 1st round match against Corretja who was world no.2 at that time in Melbourne in 1999, he would have made it. He lost the match despite had a serving for the match.

    Tennis is like a sprinting race…you train and train and train to cut .1 sec of your finish time which ultimately decides whether you finish first or last. That .1 sec equivalent of skill is the difference between 1st rank and 1000th rank. Some rank 1 in woman claiming they can defeat anyone after 1000th ranking in men is utter nonsense since they are not .1 sec behind but a whole second or 2 behind.

      Tennis has evolved too much in the span of 30 years that comparing Fed and McEnroe is just nonsense.

      I feel like in the 90s many of the top modern players would be considered clay court specialists, how far back they hit returns and how much grinding they do. It's weird, now it's like the clay courters took over, everyone is an aggressive player ala Tomas Muster on steroids. But I still think the geometry of the court would favor talented serve and volleyers fi they had the guts and athleticism to stick to that style, or at least employ it a lot more regularly

    Suzuki’s hyper aggressive serve and volley game is what propelled Pistol Pete to his 14 Majors. Fed would incorporate this aggressive rushing the net play later in his career to great success.

    • @geemy9675
      @geemy9675 Год назад +1

      Pete would come to the net after serve or an aggressive baseline shot, not a weak floating forehand chop like Suzuki. Also not the same athletic qualities. rushing to the net with weak shots doesnt cut it anymore, players come to the net to finish the points
