Maybe you think Pat Cash is "everybody" in tennis because he is your idol? I am talking about people like the 2 Macs, Sampras, Agassi, Navratilova, Evert, Becker, Edberg, Gilbert, Carlos Moya wishes he could play that style of tennis, then all the Announcers that cover any of the tennis, makes me wonder if you watch tennis as all, because they all talk about tennis and there not being any S/V players on the mens or womens side now and how its a travesty to the sport. That does not mean the quality in the players themselves is lacking, but that the sport on a whole is lacking 1/3 of the players it used to have. Lacking a 1/3 of the style. Think about what the world would be like if in everything, you took 1/3 of the variety away. Hairstyles, automobiles, house design, flavors for drinks/foods. Thats what you have in tennis right now........ On a side note, I don't recall any player or announcer saying that we need more rallies, longer rallies, and more baseline bashing, no one seems to saying that. In fact its just the opposite, all the current players having a baseline style game (everybody) talk about getting to net more, and incorporating that into their game more. I think too what you are missing here is that you don't have a "miracle" run by guys like Pete Sampras/Tim Henman at the French Open to the Semis. I never liked Tim, but to see him especially incorporate his style on clay against all odds was something to see. Agassi's runs at Wimby on "real" grass was an against all odds affair as well. Watching guys change strategy to be effective on the grass, or effective on the clay was always cool, and entertaining because you had real upsets, not favorites being beaten by less favorites who are just as adept at the baseline game.
