  The tennis federation allowed the removal of wool from the tennis balls replaced it with polyester fibers. Bigger rackets. Changed all court surfaces to play basically the same. Equals a monolithic sport

  Stephan ekberg was graceful, good sportsman, serve volleyer. Not like the give me a towel on every point today..a true gentleman, on and off the court.

  Edberg moved into net after the serve quicker than any other player. Lendl and Edberg simple service motions.

  Still remembered I put an alarm at 1.30 am watched  this match in DD. Die hard Fan Edberg, that day Edberg simply superb what a serve and vollyer I had  watch full match those days. Now a days serve and volley game completely wiped out . I like players of Edberg Becker, Stich, Yanic Noah  all are masters of serve and volley players.

  Gotta love Edberg!! Classy all the way! Great serve and volleyer!!! His kick serve is always one of my favorite serves! The motion, the kick is just awesome!

  Lendl did and does like &amp; respect Edberg for what he achieved &amp; they got on as people on the tour as I understand it from various sources. &nbsp;An observer below commented that this match saw some bizarre play from Lendl who had indeed crushed Edberg a fortnight before in New Haven &amp; had an astonishing record second to no one of 8 singles finals on these courts so in fact would have expected probably to have had a much closer match &amp; probably to have won it. However I read years ago (&amp; what is less well known) is that Lendl found out that August prior to this US Open the cause &amp; extent of the damage to his back which inhibited him considerably during this match along with the hand surgery he had had earlier in the year. &nbsp;Although the hand recovered the back just got worse and ultimately caused his slightly premature retirement in 1994. &nbsp;Premature in that he was basically still competing at the very highest level when medication or therapy had alleviated the pain - check out the 1994 Sydney final against Sampras &amp; the Oz Open that year. &nbsp;Some astonishing play during a short period where he could mover more freely. Damn bodies. &nbsp;They break!
