Stefan Edberg converted tennis into pure art form- like Messi did to Football. He never hit the ball, his racquet caressed the ball. While the new generation of Rafa, FEdex and Djoker has achieved greater heights, but no one was aesthetically as pleasing as Edberg. And Becker-Edberg rivalry is still the top rivalry for me.

They add serve & volley (and switch to one-handed backhand for Edberg & Sampras), and here they are as the top 3 serve & volley GOATS!

I was a ball boy at the net during a mid 1980s final (L.A. Open at UCLA) between Edberg and David Pate. Surprisingly, Pate won the match in straight sets in what was to be his only singles title. Edberg was #2 in the world at the time. Anyway, both of these guys came in on the first and second serves. It seemed as if neither man wanted the ball to bounce. It's the type of match that will never be seen again. Edberg was incredibly gracious to all and David Pate was ecstatic, as he should have been. Side note: In an earlier round, Brad Gilbert asked me to go back to the locker room and get him more towels. I ran the whole way, got him the towels, and do you think Gilbert said thank you? Nope. Not even close. He said, "Man, these towels are really rough. Were there any soft towels?" I glared at him and said, "This is all they had." Gilbert talked to himself the whole damn time and played his exceedingly ugly game -- and lost. But I digress. I agree with this list for the most part, but Sampras is my #1.

I agree with that list, Patrick Rafter was my favorite of them all. The fun fact is that Roger Federer could beat Pete Sampras in 2001 using serve and volley, but after that he came less to the net, maybe because Hewitt, Nadal or Djokovic were too good at the return... After Sampras and Rafter left, we didn't see much serve and volley players, recently I saw Ben Shelton, Jan lenard Struff or Jordan Thompson using that technique but not constantly. One of the few who is still using systematic serve and volley is Maxime Cressy.

Today I don't like tennis anymore. What I see are a series of players who are very good due to pure consistency, with a history of overwhelming results (Federer, Nadal and Djokovic) but as a tennis spectacle, especially in the technical part, except for the swiss player, they seem colossally boring to me. The contrast in styles (baseliner player vs. volley player) was the most striking thing to see in this sport. A Lendl-Mcenroe match, or an Edberg-Becker (Becker was a great baseliner too) or a Sampras-Agassi seems to me today to be much more of a spectacle than an Alcaraz-Sinner match for example, no matter how prepared they are, which they are, I don't doubt it. But they all play to do the same thing, all baseliners, all covering their backhand, almost all with two-handed backhands, a lot of top-spin typical of clay courts, many kilometers of matches, a lot of consistency and no innovation in the technical part, with the exception of nonsense such as spoon service to surprise the rival, something that should be prohibited. It's a shame that back in 2002 onwards, more or less when Sampras retired, they made the decision "to exterminate" the volley player with fast courts slower and much higher bouncing balls that benefit the returning players and especially the clay courts baseliner players.

I agree to you, Boris Becker for me was the technically perfect player, he mastered all the shots, any of them were really good. His problem was physically, very prone to muscle injuries, and especially the mental part, where over the years he lost consistency. John Mcenroe is perhaps the coolest player, with the most talent and the most personality there has ever been, but like perfumes, they are served in small containers, and his reign only lasted two or three years (1982-84), then he was gradually diluting.

Even think of clay court players as playing from the baseline but watching replays of guys from the 70s playing on clay, they came to the net quite alot, probably more than guys today come to the net on grass.

Well, it’s actually both serve & volley included here and to me this is probably a list of the greatest volleyers. If we actually include both Sampras is the obvious Nr.1. Great volley, all time great serve. Then.. I got into racquet sports 35 years ago because of Edberg. Was my idol all his career. Still, I actually think he is placed too high in this list. I would probably go: 1. Sampras 2. McEnroe 3. Rafter 4. Edberg/Becker McEnroe was the best volleyer if we isolate the volley. Edberg maybe 2nd but his serve (in my opinion) was too weak. I put Rafter as high as I do because his success came in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. A much harder time to be successful with s/v game than it was 5-10 years earlier. Edberg/Becker in 4th because Edberg was the better volleyer, Becker the better server. Kind of even. And I know Sampras as 1. is debatable. He is undoubtedly the best player ever who played s/v regularly but he was also a very capable baseliner. It’s anyone’s opinion

@jensbuus6386 Ай бұрын

I think your comment nails the whole debate. Combined serve and volley, the big serve of players like Sampras and Becker counts a lot. Pure volley it is Edberg, McEnroe and Rafter (slightly behind due to less GS and shorter career). None of them served very fast. McEnroe had the difficult left hand serve, Edberg the weakest serve which makes his volleys all that more impressive. Edberg and Rafter covered the net better.

Theres no way Edberg was better than Mac in serve and volleying. Mac number 1 for his creativity, touch, feel, angles.

Edberg's backhand and backhand volley is unmatched by any players Mac included.

My ranking would be: 1 McEnroe 2 Cash 3 Rafter 4 Stich 5 Edberg 6 Sampras 7 Krajicek 8 Becker 9 Henman 10 Ivanisevic With the last one it’s a mixed bag, for Ivanisevic ran hot and cold, at times his volleys and half volleys were on par with McEnroe, while other times he looked awful.

Edberg at 5? "2 Cash 3 Rafter 4 Stich 5 Edberg" How? Edberg had 4 GS titles on grass. Clearly the superior S/V player. Everybody knows that.
