ராலி பார்க்கும் போதே தெரியலையா! இந்த எராவின் நேர்த்தியை! ராலி செய்வதற்கும் வித்தை தெரிஞ்சிருக்கணும். பழைய எராவில் ராலி அவ்வளவாக இல்லை யென்றால் அவர்களின் அணுகுமுறை அப்படி. சர்வீஸ் போட்டவுடனே ஒரு யுத்தியும் இல்லாமலே நெட்டுக்கு ஓடி வருவது. மொத்து வாங்க வேண்டியது. இப்போது அப்படி இல்லை. நெட்டை நோக்கி எப்போ நெருங்கி வரணும் என புரிதல் இருக்கு. எல்லா எராக்களிலும் சர்வீஸ் போடும் திறன் பற்றி பேசுங்கள். இரண்டாம் முறை சர்வீஸிலும் ஏஸ் அதுவும் t இடத்தில் போடக் கூடிய சாம்பிராஸ் போன்ற ஜாம்பவான்கள் இப்போது இல்லை. அந்த விஷயத்தில் பழைய எறா பெஸ்ட்.
"This is exactly why we have a FO where all these pushers can hit all day long (6+ hours borefest)..."
Of the previous top 4 - i.e. before Fed slipped to 7 recently - only Murray can somewhat be described as a pusher and he too has begun to get more aggressive. Everybody who plays from the baseline is not a pusher. If that was so, Agassi must be one too and he was the only player after Laver to achieve a career slam in the open era before Fed and Rafa. And speaking of which...
"Nowadays it has become a joke to achieve the Career Grand Slam, with players not have to change even a bit to achieve the same."
Only Fed and Rafa have achieved the career slam since Agassi. Djoko has come close but he hasn't achieved it yet and Murray didn't even bother turning up at RG this year. People act like any tom, dick and harry has achieved a career slam in the current era which is not at all true. And as for changing one's style, even Agassi played in more or less the same way on all surfaces and still achieved the feat. So, the homogenization of tennis was already taking shape in the 90s...it just took the next generation to learn from Agassi and emulate his style. Agassi and not Sampras was the most influential player of the 90s, in spite of winning fewer slams. History will record that his approach of playing an offensive baseline game with a double backhand is what has become more popular with current players...except Fed and a few others.

There is a big difference between Agassi & Nadal/Murray....Novak is atleast an aggressive baseliner like Agassi...

Put any of your current era pusher in the 90s era you will know what I am talking about.
For eg. the only match Pete & Fed played at Wimbledon, both had almost exact same number of points won at the net...
In those era, current top players stand little chance. Same way Pete would not have much chance with homogenization of courts...
No wonder Nadal calls 90's era tennis as not real tennis. How stupid of him!!
