  I remember this match as a kid.  Becker was my favorite player, and Edberg was my brother's favorite player!!

  Edberg's volley game was incredible. That might be why he was my favorite player when I was young.

  Edberg is my favourite ever player. A player that oozed grace, flair, skill and guile. A wonderful player and a thorough gentleman. His rivalry with Becker is one of my fondest sporting memories. Legends.

  That volley from Edberg before the match points is insane...

  Edberg’s kick serve was truly a thing of beauty.

  These were my favorite times looking back on tennis... don't get me wrong I love the big 3 now and the pace of the game, but man I miss the serve and volley game.  Was always my favorite style of tennis.

  Edberg's footwork and balance at net is just ridiculous. Nobody is even close. Ever.

  Incidentally I stopped watching Tennis after Edberg retired. The poise, flair, grace and effortlessness has been long replaced by sheer power and brutality. Tennis was a poetry in motion, players were all characters with distinctive traits. Serve-Volley game, especially on the green grass of Wimbledon was a sheer joy. Lazy afternoon and Tennis from such greats. Nowadays, it’s all number driven. Sometimes, I wonder whether spectators will remember the current matches the way it was remembered earlier!!

  The Edberg-Becker-Edberg-...... - pattern was broken in 1991 by Michael Stich's 4:6 7:6 7:6 7:6 win in the semi. Edberg was shocked (losing that match without losing any serving game). But Becker also was shocked, because he mentally had been focusing and anticipating for the fourth clash with Edberg in the final 1991. "Where is Stefan?" Becker permanently was thinking during the 1991 final while he could not find a way to adapt to Stich's gameplay that day. Becker overall played seven Wimbledon finals, but only won three of them. In 1995 he was defeated by Pete Sampras in the final. Becker's importance for Wimbledon is much bigger than the number of his titles. The same is true for Jimmy Connors that has won only two Wimbledon titles, but constantly popped up in the semi-finals. Connors had two major problems at Wimbledon: Björn Borg and John McEnroe. Becker had two other major problems: Stefan Edberg and Pete Sampras.
