An interesting thought occurred to me regarding the whole baseliner vs S&V argument. If you look at the open era, there are a lot of examples of baseliners changing their game to S&V and having success on grass.
e.g
Borg won 5 wimbledons by S&V'ing on 1st serve
Lendls reached 2 wimbledon finals
Wilander won the Australian on grass. He beat Lendl at the U.S open by S&V'ing
However i can't think of 1 S&V player who successfully adopted a baseline strategy. McEnroe, Edberg and Stich reached the french open finals. However they did so by S&V'ing. McEnroe and Edberg would definitely had got killed if they had tried to stay back.
Seems to be it's possible to go from baseline to S&V but the reverse is much harder.
