@Bijan Mehrpour and here goes our local UA-cam tattletale .... seriously who gives a fuck ...we're here to watch vintage Boris Becker ... should we dig in your past ? what have you achieved ?
This match had been billed like two heavyweight boxers at a prize fight. The defending champion versus the champion of the two previous years. In many ways, it really marked the end of Cash's time at the top. He was seriously affected by injuries after this and never got to the second week of a grand slam again.
Commentator said it’s a premature reaction from Becker - I think he was jealous because of you hound Becker . His reaction was so simple after winning a QF against a quality player
No, I do not have that match. I know, I saw the match many years ago on youtube, too. It was with German commentary I believe. Probably there were some copyright issues. I have uploaded some time ago parts of Becker vs. Medvedev Wimbledon 1994 and it disappeared, too...
Cash here was arguable the more successful of the two players even though Becker at this point had an extra slam to his name. Cash was the defending champion at Wimbledon and had reached the final of an epic Aussie open in January, losing to Wilander. This match was a crossroads for both players. Cash was never the same and Becker went on to the Wimbledon final this year losing to Edberg. 1989 was Beckers year winning BOTH Wimbledon and the US Open and being world number 1.
I agree but I think history will judge Becker the better of the two...Cash blew the 88 Australian ......did Cash ever have any more success at W? After 88 he seems to go off the radar a bit?
@@maxipazz8214 I think Cash had severe health issues (spine etc.) from the late 80´s on that ultimately drove him into early retirement, like many other great players in that era.
@ Jason Cowell. Pat Cash's tennis career was not what it could have been largely because he had chronic back pain and other injuries which prevented him from achieving more in his pro tennis career. As great a tennis career as Jimmy Connors had, one has to wonder what more he could have achieved if not for the chronic back pain he experienced throughout his career from his American Twist serve.
@@michaelbarlow6610 He and his wife have had drug and depression problems too I'm afraid, but he does therapy work to try to help other people with similar problems. He is a good man, I think.
I think it must be tough mentally to earn so much money so young... as we all know now, he wasn't very good with his financial affairs! Don't worry Boris, as soon as you are out of Jug you'll be back at Wimbledon with the mike in your hand! Love Carola Stewart x
Well it certainly worked out OK for Federer when he changed from double to single-handed on the backhand side, as had his hero Stefan Edberg, many years earlier...
I never before or since heard Boris Becker grunt on his serve and when hitting a volley like he did in the last two games of the third set of his 1988 Wimbledon Quarterfinal match win against Pat Cash. You have to wonder if the choice words Cash had for Becker as they shook hands at the net after Becker won was about either Becker's unusual grunting or Becker's excessive exuberance when he broke Cash's serve to go up 5-4 in the third set or at Becker's excessive celebration after winning match point? It was the quarterfinals as Tony Trabert pointed out not the finals! Becker jumped in the air as if he'd won the tournament!
Becker did grunt on occasion in the mid-80's, it wasn't common at all for him to do it, but as a kid watching the final between him and Edberg I noticed it! I loved this era of tennis and the unique styles. I am curious to know what Cash said to Becker after the match, because I don't think the celebrations were a big deal, he was pumped to beat the defending champ and one of the main rivals in Pat Cash, especially after losing his title the previous year in the 2nd round!
@ azoleyehirooni11. Which of the three Becker-Edberg Wimbledon finals was the one in which Becker grunted while serving? I don't remember ever hearing Becker grunting while serving except against Cash in that 1988 Wimbledon Quarterfinal match. I think Cash was right to be upset at Becker's overexuberance because as Trabert pointed out it was only the quarterfinals not the final! Even though Cash was the defending Wimbledon champion in 1988, Becker's overexuberance during the last two games of that match and his overreaction after winning match point in that match was unbecoming for a player who had won Wimbledon twice before in 1985 and 1986. It would be different if Becker had never won a major singles title before he defeated Cash in that Wimbledon match.
@@michaelbarlow6610 Becker was grunting also in the 1988 Wimbledon final against Stefan Edberg (in the third set from what I saw) which I was surprised to see because I hadn't seen him doing it much at all in other matches! He also was grunting routinely on serves in 1988 French Open when he played against Henri Leconte in the 4th round (in the fourth set is where I saw this)! Becker could at times wear his emotions on his sleeves, good or bad, and perhaps he celebrated more because he got through a big hurdle when it came to Cash. I know he won Wimbledon before but he was coming off his worst year to that point in 1987, dropping to number 4, and failing to make any slam finals after 2 years of success prior to that! His reaction to some players in recent years where they fall on their back in earlier rounds is pretty tame (players like Fernando Verdasco fell on his back for like 2 minutes for example after he beat Rafael Nadal in the 2012 Madrid, to which my thoughts were "Alright you beat your major rival, but this is a bit much!") I see your point though since top players back then were more reserved (for example Lendl beating Mayotte in his quarterfinal that year just raised his hand in victory and jogged to the net) in their post match celebrations prior to the semis or finals and this was a straight set win, so there definitely was a lot of emotion from Becker for a straight set win in comparison. I'm just trying to state what Becker's mindset could have been. Perhaps he was hungry for a breakthrough after a rough year and saw that as a big win for himself in getting himself on the right track!
@@michaelbarlow6610 Perhaps Becker was just rubbing in the fact that Becker was going to knock out Cash. Cash had words to Becker after the 'over the net' fall and maybe Becker was going to have the last word. Are you familiar with the 'Cash falling over the net' incident?
Cette lourde défaite du peu sympathique Cash face à Becker,marqua la fin de sa carrière au plus haut niveau, dans le top 10,et dans un tournoi du grand chelem....plus jamais, en effet,l'australien n'accedera au moindre quart de finale en grand chelem....dommage pour Cash, seulement âgé de 23ans, à l'époque.....
This was the first grand slam tennis tournament I watched...but not sure what you meant by ‘how slow the games were back then.’..Boris to me looks fantastically quick from the back of the court, and to my eye the grass courts look quicker than those of today too..
@@VVS167 i suppose you are correct but after watching many tournaments in the 70s and 80s you can really see how much more power every point is played with even the women as well
@@michaelbarlow6610 the courts may have been but not the players...they hit the ball much harder and faster these days...just look at how hard the women play.
@ Dom Barton. On the contrary, the players today do not hit the ball harder and faster than the players of the 1980's and 1990's. It is a myth that the players today are hitting the ball harder and faster! First of all, the slowed down courts today prevent the players of today from hitting the ball faster than their earlier era counterparts! Just look at how Wimbledon since and including 2001 has become exclusively baseline tennis with no serve-and-volley anywhere in sight! Just look at the lightening fast speed of the tennis on the indoor Supreme Court surfaces during the 1980's and 1990's (a surface which is no longer played on in today's tennis) such as the 1987 Davis cup tie match between Becker and McEnroe which was essentially a 5-set serving contest in which the points were exceedingly short! Second, if you were to put the current ultralight , ultra-strong graphite rackets (strung with the copolyestor- lubricated strings of today) into the hands of the players back then and have them play on today's men's pro tour , you would see no difference between the speed with which the earlier era players hit the tennis ball and the the speed with which the current era players hit the ball! You suffer from, as most people do, the all too-human phenomenon of seeing what you expect to see and not what is really there in front of your eyes in terms of events and trends in society. George Bernard Shaw spoke or wrote about that phenomenon when he famously wrote or said, "Life is a constant struggle to see and comprehend that which is in front of my very nose!". Current tennis fans erroneously and inaccurately assume that the players of today are better, faster players than their earlier era counterparts. It is the advances in equipment that only make today's players appear to be better or harder hitters of the tennis ball than their earlier era counterparts!
@@thebigmonstaandy6644 actually, there was a point in the match where Cash, attempting to run down a ball, fell and clumsily stumbled over the net. Becker, trying to make light of the situation (probably to mitigate Cash's embarrassment) then did the exact same thing. But Cash, already embarrassed, took it as though Boris was making fun of him and proceeded to make a scene. I'm guessing that was it.
Becker also did a lot of gamesmanship during matches. For example when his opponent was about to serve he suddenly would turn away to disrupt the server's rhythm, but he would never receive a "delay of game" warning for it. Especially in his younger years he did such things. Understandably some opponents were quite pissed by that behaviour.
I ball boyed to Cash on numerous occasions in the 80s, and he was a complete jerk. Lendl by comparison was very pleasant, as were most of the players to be honest.
1987 win Pat Cash vs Boris Becker , Cash wins Wimbledon 1988 lose Pat Cash vs Boris Becker but Becker not wins Wimbledon , then Wimbledon wins Stefan Edberg.
When did Cash beat Becker in 1987? At least not at Wimbledon as Becker sensationally lost in the 2nd round against Australian Peter Doohan in four sets.
Ja, finde ich auch, das wird häufig übertrieben. Früher häufig nur ein kalter Händedruck, ein, zwei Worte der Anerkennung des Gegners vielleicht und das war es.
@@chris33102003 Früher war es z. B. auch ziemlich normal, dem Schiedsrichter nach dem Match wegen eines Disputes nicht die Hand zu geben. McEnroe, Connors oder Lendl stritten sich ständig mit den Stuhlschiedsrichtern und verweigerten ihnen nach dem Match häufig den Handschlag. Bei den Damen gibt es z. T. auch noch heute ziemlichen Zickenterror, wenn ich da etwa an die Ostapenko denke in Wimbledon zuletzt, usw.

Anyone found out what Cash told Boris at the net? Given Boris' reaction it appears not to have been positive.

Boom Boom Pahwah!
It was around this time our coach changed all the boys double-handed backhands to a “single”. He was convinced there was no future in double handed 😂
Well it certainly worked out OK for Federer when he changed from double to single-handed on the backhand side, as had his hero Stefan Edberg, many years earlier...
Pat Cash has great volleys but weakness has always been forehand and groundies.
Very true, especially forehand, i feel he should have changes coachs, around 86.
@@sashashaikh111 Glad he didn't, he might've won more.
That was the biggest difference between him and rafter. The latter didn't have overwhelming firepower off the ground, but he was very consistent
But wasn't his forehand one of his two "groundies"?! So don't you simply mean that his forehand & backhand groundstrokes were his weaknesses?
