Boris "on Fire" in his last Grand-Slam-Final! AND - one of his best Matches EVER!
Love Boris of this era
One of the days when Becker had this aura of "invincibility" on court. Like him or not, but that man has charisma.
Pure talent ❤
I like him
And indeed 96 was the last great season Boris ever played. Also he played that epic ATP finals final against Sampras.
IT was a good season from Boris Becker 96, Martin but He injurrded Bad in Wimbledon, He need to retired there ,that cost him Atlanta 96 olympics 😡🥇🎾and hid drem ti win the gold metal in the singles, Agassi 🥇🇺🇸 won96
Oh, it's the best match of professional tennis player Boris Becker's career😮 👍☝️🙄🎾
Becker looks like Vincent Van Gogh
But he didn‘t cut his ear…😂
Becker had the skills and talent to win 20 Grand Slams. Becker was inconsistent.
You mean Federe won 20 slams
Boris becker bester mann
Unfortunately, Michael Chang was not very good at conserving energy. He get too emotionally charged up after a good play sometimes.
أجمل بطولة ❤
Wow he was so professional ❤
Becker seems to be pretty good all rounder, other than his speed at baseline, he seems to be well adapt at baseline game. Wondering why he not more successful?
My opinion is Becker was never 100 percent focused and had too many distractions throughout his whole career. He should have won more than he did. He could have worked more on his speed as well as he got older.
Chang's baseline game was steady rather than powerful, so he could not pressure Becker from the baseline, this has been a problem for Chang through out of his career, Chang won his only grand slam level match against Sampras in 1989 FO but was never able to win a grand slam level match against Sampras on grass and hard court. Chang also had problem with Edberg after his 89 FO victory against Edberg, for about 4 years Edberg won most of their duels . Later on during Chang's career he tried to serve harder to get free points on his serve and also use serve and volley sparingly as a surprise tactic, both tactics did not deliver the result, Chang often overserved and had lower first serve percentages, his volley was technically sound but was still weak.
Off-court drama derailed him after 1991.
@@jliang70 interesting comment. there was a highlight video where Chang had 120..122mph serve by the way. I like his game. Also Kafelnikov, not so fast like Chang but his backhand was top quality also baseline game with occasional SV
@@rjamesyorkwhat happened to him?
The game move.
Chang no weapons
Amazing he got so far- he really had nothing except speed. The Hewitt of his generation. An average player overall
Racket and string technology back then are trash, there's very limited spin and you had to generate your own pace which resulted in a mono style of play. If he were playing today he could have generated much more pace and spin with modern rackets which he could benefit with his speed playing from different position on the court.
@@skychaos87Chang's career was quite remarkable from 1987 to 2003 (34 career professional titles) given his lack of height (5'9"), below-average serves, non-threatening groundstrokes, basic net game and average return of serve. But he was very fast, damn tenacious and fought to the bitter end. Chang held his own in an era full of giants and parity. He is still the youngest male slam winner in 1989 (French Open at 17 years, 109 days).
When Boris got older he become a little podgy, bigger etc. It affected his speed on court. Circa 1990 onwards it's a downward spiral.
Becker destroyed Chang in this match.

Novak Rafa Roger Alcaraz would smash them off crt
And in 20 years the best players will be able to “smash” the current crew.
Grow up.
Give Medvedev with his horrible technique and brainless game a wooden racket and he will lose against 55 years old Sampras today! What Becker‘s generation played with their rackets was unbelievable. Better volleyskills like all players thereafter!
don't be so sure. You have to take account, surface speed, rackets, physical preparation which are different today.
Raquet technology makes a difference.
What's the point of criticizing prior tennis eras? Different court speed, racket technology, sports science, styles of play, training and coaching methodologies, psychological prep, etc.
Boring, rallies what rallies.
