True you can't compare era's, but consider this: Fred PerrY was also world no.1 at Table Tennis. That, is truly unique.

Everyone needs to realise that the modern game would not be as it is today without the pioneering stars of the past. Every era pushes the boundaries even further. Even footage of Ivan Lendl seems archaic now but he directly contributed to the power game and fitness levels we see today. Borg was a superman in the 70s but wouldn't make the top 200 playing like that today. But don't be fooled into thinking anyone off the street today would beat a Perry or Tilden from the 20s and 30s. Old film techniques don't show how good they really were and you would be annihilated. Tilden reportedly served well over 100mph. Return that!

I don't think an average player by today's standard would be annihilated at all, i've been playing for a year, i can serve over 100mph quite easily, and judging from the stuff i've seen of these guys, they would be the ones getting annihilated, infact i'm pretty certain they would be getting bageled every set. I'm sorry to disagree with you, but you can clearly see there abilities here, they have no hip rotation, topspin, everything is flat, there is little movement on the serve, it all just looks rather simple and they would get punished in this day and age

just to add to my point, look at 0:47 and tell me what the fuck that was, that is the most lame serve i have ever seen
@1983englishman 9 жыл бұрын
jchneo26 I suspect you're not taking into account the equipment they had to use. Have you regularly served at over 100mph with a volcanised tennis ball using a wooden racket that has wire strings and a tiny racket head? Given how rare 1930s tennis balls now are, this seems unlikely. If Tilden had your modern racket and served a modern ball he would have had a serve you respect a lot more. As Eric says, each generation pushes the next to be even better. But advancements in equipment have certainly had a big impact too. With your modern racket, its strings and grip, the shoes you wear, and even your ease of access to a good diet, plus practice, perhaps you would have a shot against a 1930s player. But I doubt you would be successful if you both used 1930s equipment or you both used modern day equipment - i.e. play on level terms. As Eric says, a random person off the street would be annihilated by these guys. And given the levels of obesity in developed countries these days, I think they would still beat a random person off the street in these times - especially if they could drop the wooden racket. The other key thing to mention is that in earlier eras, a player's feet were not allowed to leave the ground whilst serving, making it again harder than today.

People used to tell Don Budge (in 80s and 90s) that is was easier back in 1930s. His answer was may be that is why he is the ONLY Grand Slam winner until Laver came along. You think it was easy in those days ? Why do you think that there are a thousand people watching and ONLY 2 guys with rackets playing on center court ? If it is so easy then it should be a thousand people playing on center court and 2 people watching in the stand. Hundreds thousands people will be playing tennis for money instead of suffering the Great Depression.

People who imagine they'd beat these guys are living in fantasy land. You'd barely get a point. These guys are using wooden rackets with a tiny sweetspot on a skidding surface. Perry in particular had a whipped forehand that very players can emulate - let alone with a wooden racket. Modern players have rackets that can impart enormous amounts of top spin allowing them to strike the ball very hard as the ball will dip. Try that with a wooden racket and you'll just go long.

So many people comment on how Britain hasn't produced a male British winner at Wimbledon since the 1930's. I wonder if a curse was put on the club because of the terrible way they treated Perry just because he was working class. Many overseas players were aghast at the treatment Perry received. In 2012 the All England Club has hardly changed its toffee nosed image which I am sure is why we have so few tennis stars.

that is a VERY debatable opinion, and one that is almost impossible to judge, because of the difference in the game today, from when Perry was playing, but even given the same equipment and technical support, as the game is completely different, it's impossible to tell!.....any number of today's players might have 'thrashed' Perry, or vice versa!.......this holds for the women players too!

I'm not joking, the difference between the modern game and the game back then is huge. Players are much more physically fit and they play with more powerful groundstrokes and a variety of spin. If they played with modern equipment, I highly believe that Serena Williams would beat Fred Perry in a best of 5.

For the sake of accuracy, there were professional players and tournaments from 1927 onwards but comparing eras is pointless. Whatever era you play in will dictate the style and level of tennis (or any other sport) you play. You wouldn't have been able to successfully do what you describe if you were living then and last time I checked time travel still hasn't been perfected.

Short answer, yes. Long answer, yes it's too late unless you have some incredibly natural ability, but even if you do then the only way you would even stand the slightest of chances would be to start full time training with a professional coach immediately, and even then you almost certainly wouldn't ever make it anywhere near the top level of professional tennis.

From my point of view there are two ways of comparing players from two different eras: Either you compare their potential or their actual abilities. If you compare Fred Perry with a nowadays female top-player based solely on their actual abilities than I would believe the woman to win. The physical condition alone would make a huge enough difference to believe so. But if you compare their potential rather than their actual abilities, well, than it's a completely different ball game, of course.
