Wimbledon in the 90s was the lowpoint

[Paul Murphy]

Agreed. Some Wimbledon matches in the 90s were bore-fests.

A genuine contest with a contrast in styles was the ideal - not two big servers putting on a serving display.

Boring.

dont agree that it was boring in the 90's there was still enough scope for the baseliners as Agassi and Courier showed by winning and reaching finals there ...
A faster surface is required so that we can see how the player adapts his style ...
It was more interesting as we saw a clash of different playing styles. Players had to hit great drop volleys, deep approach shots, powerful volleys deep in the court, passing shots over the net rusher, lobs to beat them ....
Do we see this kind of play anymore at wimbledon ?

there were finals between agassi-ivanisevic, sampras-courier, sampras-agassi which all provided enough scope for different game

Other finals were becker-edberg, becker-sampras where there was rallies at the net as well .. how many times do we see volleys traded there apart from doubles match now a days.
