Why Serve and Volley Faded, Borg-McEnroe 1980 Wimbledon Final | Monday Match Analysis
Description
It's the first edition of Monday Match Analysis Classics! Why has the serve and volley play style died? It all comes down to effectiveness and necessity. Modern racket and string technology has enabled levels of topspin that make net play less effective,and less necessary. I break down the epic 4th set tiebreak in the 1980 Wimbledon final between Bjon Borg and John McEnroe to compare the old school game to the modern game. Plus, I review the 2009 tennis film Borg vs. McEnroe.
