Becker in Tier four??? :shock:
There are very subtle details that separate players from one tier to the next one.Becker was steady and at times flashy but, fi, a third tier guy like Vitas Gerulaitis could do a bit more things with the volley and could play half volley and touch volleys very well.
Newcombe and Roche could beat you with a first angled volley, Becker volley never had that much penetration.That does not mean he was not a very capable volleyer, but when you make a tier structure there must be apoint where you make a cut.
I think there are some others like Mc Laughlin or Borotra that should be included, but there is no footage here.
