We've gone from one extreme to the other. Back then, there was a huge backlash against the "big servers" and how they were killing the game. It's one of the major reasons why the courts were slowed down - this is s highlights reel. Much of the rest of the match would have been very boring - ace after ace. It was a particular problem at Wimbledon. I remember one newspaper headline about the 1993 final: "Bored on the fourth of July".

@@th8257 I get your point, BUT back then you had 5 different court types. The clay season, where you had baseline play and long points like today, you had grass season where the spainards regularely skipped grass where a different type of style dominated (Sampras, Goran, Becker, Edberg, etc...), then hardcourt season, then carpet, then hard again in Australia etc....But now, the whole year seems like clay season! And because of that everybody plays the SAME!

@@flootyy1746 True. However, SV isn't taught as much as they used to, so it's like a dying art. Sampras played Federer in 2007 in an exhibition - which was super close - and he did SV effectively, and by 2007 nobody was doing it. My point is, it could be a great addition to the game these days, at least mixing it up more.

Often depends which country the TV video originated from. In those days, USA broadcasters (and I think Japan too) used a system called NTSC which had much lower picture quality. Europe (where this is obviously from) used a system called PAL which had noticeably higher picture quality. Think that explains a lot of it. American TV pictures in particular could be pretty awful back then.
