Hahahah I am just playing with you guys, its good to see some competitive spirit! Of course to a certain extent lah, if battle hard make sure its on the court only, don't say lost a match later beat the winner in parking lot.....no sportsmanship lah, tennis as they say is a gentlemans game.

Regarding Edberg, his serve and volley game made you cry he was smooth and glided on the court, almost Federer like, but Federer has slightly better footwork, most likely due to new found techniques.

Edberg's serve was a kick serve, on his 1st and 2nd serve, apparently more on his 2nd.If you compare his kick to, today's game may be you can say ahhh kacang his serve, but Edberg could back his serve up very well, the reason was his forward movement to the net, his 1st volley usually is inside the service box, or closer...people have a huge misconception the harder they serve the more easier the 1st volley depending on the return that may be true, but in actual fact the bigger the serve, the bigger the return, the less time you have to move forward, and close in at the net, Edberg's serve allowed him to get in nice and tight, he did not care if you could return his serve, if you passed him on the return and or if he committed a unforced error, that did not change his mentality, he lived and died serving and volleying, only later in life did he sometime's not serve and volley 100%...

Edberg's serve when he first started out I suspect he was using a continental grip, he arched his back and his tennis ball toss was very far out in front hence he was sometimes called for footfaults, he would kick the ball very high and wide to his opponents backhand, you must remember during his era there were not that many double handed backhand players, so it was pretty difficult to return serve with a single handed backhand.

During his era the people that were using Double handers were Mats Wilander, Anders Jarryd,Joakim Nystrom,Mikael Pernfors, these are all Swedish players who played a Bjorn Borg game, only Stefan was different.

Here are some youtube video's of Edberg.

Kacang (to some) to produce the same effect, but a suicide to copy the same movement. i think he bend his back outrageously in comparison to others. If not mistaken, i read somewhere maybe, maybe tt.tennis-warehouse.com mentioning edberg were doing 1000 sit up per day during his teen.

So kid, please dont do this at home, only at tennis court.


Apart from edberg, mcenroe and sampras has a really nice serve motion.

we will see the 1st Brit Slammer in seven hundred thousand years........

go murray n li na...

see u guys tml!

will do bro.. will do.. now im stocking up on meat so that the muscle tissues will generate back haha..

I support Novak......I want him be have more than 1 grandslam, otherwise people call him one slam wonder all the time.......

If Murray still can't win this time, he could only blame himself. I m sick of the English media on how they potray him like the national english futbal team.

Aiyooo along come kutip hutang.

we will see the 'modern' game attacker and defender in tmr OZO!!!!!

My mojo tells me d attacker should win.......

but emotionally, give the Brits a break...... they r starving for a slammer for seven hundred thousand years...........

1st set goes to LiNa

but i kind a dislike her motivation factor which is prize money, not because of winning a grand slam or other tournament.
