  The biggest innovation of all is the improvement in camera technology so we can see what's bloody going on.

  &apos;&apos;Why, good day to you, sir. What a fine match you just played!!&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Thank you, kind man.&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Say, would you like to play an exhibition match for charity?&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Certainly.&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;See, we have envisioned just for fun what tennis might look like 140 years from now in the year 2019. Just step into this metal carriage...&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Carriage? Well, where are the horses?&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Oh... um.... they&apos;ll be here soon. We can step inside while we wait for them.&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Oh, all right... and who will be my main rival?&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;His name is Novak Djoković. He comes from Serbia.&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;The newly-independent Principality of Serbia?&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Yeah, that one.&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;I can&apos;t imagine those savages knowing anything about proper tennis. I imagine the match will be like a leisurely walk in the park.&apos;&apos;<br>&apos;&apos;Oh, I&apos;m sure it will. I am sure it will.&apos;&apos;

  I wish I could go back to 1870s just to flex on them

  Two-handed backhand and topspin of the 1970s from players like Connors and Borg changed the game. Racket technology of the 1980s (bigger surface area and lighter) gave all players more power and control.

  The next 10 years : Nick Kyrgios brings the underarm serve , which in modern tennis , was ignored a little

  Federer said one of the biggest changes in the game was the introduction of new string technologies in the 2000s. Believe he was referring to co-poly strings. That was not mentioned in the video.

  A well executed one-handed backhand is one of the prettiest shots in tennis. It&apos;s a shame so few players use it anymore. I do, but I&apos;m a far cry from the pro tour.
