When we hear TV commentators and expert tennis analysts talk about the evolution of tennis and how much better players of today are and so on. We are often leaded to believe that players from the past did great in the period they played and would not have a chance in today’s game.
These assumptions and comments have always bothered me because in the last thirty some odd years I have seen some of the finest players of all time play the game and that includes names such as, Rod Laver, Lew Hoad, Ken Rosewall, Pancho Gonzales, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and I myself coached and trained some of the worlds best such as Jim Courier and Pete Sampras.
In many ways my conclusion is that there has been a massive increase in the amount of people playing the game, which is great, but not necessarily an increase in the quality of the tennis produced and all we have to mention is that the most dominant players of the last 20 years Pete Sampras and Roger Federer play retro tennis that was played in the sixties!
In many cases it is an impossibility to prove that in many aspects tennis technically has barely moved and in some strokes such has the backhand slice and the volleys and overheads it has gone many steps backwards.
This video that follows demonstrates emphatically that in the end of the 1970's Bjorn Borg's tennis topspin forehand was as good if not better then Roger Federer's today and there is no great difference on their techniques.
Why do I write about this, because we should never dismiss an opportunity to learn from a great player no matter when he played, take for example Ken Rosewall and his slice backhand there is not one professional player today that would not love to have it! The list is much more extensive but, I do not want to bore you with the past.
