CAMELOT FANTASIES

I forgot to mention, I watched a bit of Sampras vs Agassi match the other day and once again thoroughly enjoyed the contrast they brought in to the game. Sampras, of course, wouldn't S&V the whole time as he was equally comfortable at staying back, but it was just so nice to see the volleys at the net by him.

It's so sad that an entire aspect of the game is now entirely missing from today's game. Very sad.

Amazing match, amazing players and amazing atmosphere. Nothing can beat this.



This is probably one of the reasons why I enjoy Llorda vs Murray matches a great deal - perhaps the most. Not only it's a contrast that brings back memories, but it also forces Murray to come to the net as often as possible and it also brings out the wonderful side of Andy's game - his game at the net. He's got such wonderful hands. He so belongs to the 90s.

its the evolution of the sport emma.

they just cant make a living serving and volleying anymore.

llodra is a great net player but his success came mostly at home (france) on indoor fast courts. and he did not face anybody like nole who would have demolished him from the backcourt.


llodra also was successful in doubles because he could volley.

there is not a single player out there who can compete at the top level in singles serving and volleying today. they can try but they wont win any titles.

what is needed today is a rock solid movement, bullet proof ground game, and then also the ability to attack and finish the points at the net.

the war on the courts today has to be waged from the backcourt.
