Becker was not up to the task. Too susceptible.

Oops. Thank you

I remember that the final was a lesson in the game of serve and volley given by Edberg. Without a doubt, it was the Grand Slam final that he played with the most sufficiency. As a fan of Edberg I enjoyed his game like never before. The victim was Courier, but that day it would have been anyone who was his victim. It is true that Courier won two finals at the Australian Open, but Courier also had his virtues and in those finals he beat Edberg's elegant game.

Honestly, if I heard it back in the day, I didn't remember it. A certain resemblance does have.

TRUE. Although on the date of the videos no one could imagine it.

Year 1987, live broadcast from New York with the technology of the time, recorded in VHS and converted to digital to be uploaded to TH-cam. What more do you want? 🤣 Already in the broadcast on TV it was difficult, to follow the game. Even so, I consider this video to be one of the good ones. And of course with two tennis legends at their best.

@@javiermolacobos Can AI add a ball to the video footage?

@@AA-le9ls I suppose so. The AI will make it possible for us to appear in the video😅

Ce n’était pas le meilleur Agassi. Lorsqu’il a quitté son personnage, il s’est avéré être l’un des meilleurs de l’histoire.

Oui!!! Je suis passionné par ce style et j’ai regardé ce match en direct. Patrick Rafter était un phénomène !!

@@javiermolacobos Pat « Sorry mate » est ma deuxième idole tennistique (avec Edberg). J’’ai eu la chance de le voir en vrai lors de sa finale perdue contre Clément à Lyon en 2000. C’est un joueur que nous n’oublierons jamais. Merci de poster ces vidéos !

@@GrigorSamsa Nous coïncidons dans les idoles. Edberg est mon numéro un

Yes it was possible but rafter was injury prone and retired here. Probably would have lost anyway but he definitely made it a close match for a good while before ferrero got a handle on things.

No one knew it then

It had a very easy game but for my taste not very attractive.

A time when tennis was open to more people and the look of the tennis players had to be attractive.

Eighties look

Au fil du temps, nous verrons des filets plus hauts, des ballons plus lourds et aussi des paniers de basket-ball plus hauts. piscines plus grandes, etc... Évolution

@@javiermolacobos Vu l'évolution physique folle des athlètes, c'est très probable..

Era el canal que más apostaba por el tenis en esa época.

You're a nostalgic like me

Let's not forget that at times tennis has become almost unwatchable on faster courts because of the big servers. I always remember the newspaper headline after the 1993 Wimbledon final "Bored on the 4th of July"

@@zeddeka There was a change in the game when the big servers appeared that on fast surfaces gave a lot of problems and shortened the points. In any case, the evolution of the game has led tennis to become very physical and with a lot of strength, but it is true that for a few years now, tennis players have been imposing themselves who, having a lot of physique and strength in their shots, also show talent and versatility in the game. Everything evolves.

True, it was difficult for him but in the end he became one of the greats of this sport. For me his greatest achievement was being the first player, since the eighties, to win all four Grand Slam, although in different years.

The language that is not understood is Catalan, a language of Latin origin. In any case, I have always believed that comments in tennis matches are superfluous. I would have watched the broadcasts much better without the announcers. The intention of the videos is to be able to remember that time of tennis, regardless of what is broadcast

Por lo visto tu si que la entiendes ya que has reconocido el idioma. En aquella época la televisión catalana era la que más apostaba por la retransmisión de partidos de tenis.

@@javiermolacobos He veraneado allí media vida. Lamentablemente en 2015 tuve que cambiar de destino para no tener que partirme la cara con nadie. No he vuelto. Ahora paso el verano en Cádiz, donde somos todos españoles. Y está mejor preparado para el turismo, pero Tarragona será siempre mi niñez.

@@Julio-cu1fq En Cataluña hay muchos que nos sentimos españoles, y en esos tiempos eran muy pocos los que pregonaban el catalanismo. Se da más voz y credibilidad a la minoría que a la mayoría silenciosa.

@@javiermolacobos Lo sé, y adoro tu tierra, tu mar, el interior, la gastronomía... hasta el idioma chapurreaba. Fui a reuniones de la CUP con David Fernández y Ana Gabriel para intentar entender sus argumentos. Lo siento, no me gusta tomar algo debajo de una estelada ni puedo pasar las vacaciones quemado por el tema. Si sois mayoría, actuad como tal. En Cádiz somos mayoría total.

Well, it seems so, although when I saw it I would never have said it was a wig.

Cierto. Basó su juego en la agresividad al resto y su potente juego de fondo de pista.

In my opinion, with Agassi they wanted to create a cheap copy of McEnroe because of his hesitant behavior on the track. When he managed to get out of character and be himself, he began to obtain sporting successes. We cannot deny that he was a great player with his own style and a power of shots that at that time was unusual.

The person separated from the tennis player

You have explained very well what happened except for Becker's attitude after the point won on the first serve. It was the referee who understood the joke and made Becker reconsider to repeat the point since he was going to sit down with the game won. Agassi saw that he left him in evidence and from there the final rest showing his pride.

thank you!

Becker absolutely got the joke. But his dead pan serious attitude often makes him seem incapable of humor. But remember Becker jokingly pretending to drop the Wimbeldon trophy? And have you ever seen Becker loose his temper? Nope. So he obviously has a keen and agreeable sense of humor. And yes I was old enough to see this match live.

​@@ericseaman125 grammatically, the English language cannot make a sentence with the words "German" and "humour" without a negative word included.

​@@JuandeFucaU ha ha yes! I should have substituted the word Kraut for humour.

I don't know if you mean it with irony, but it was authentic

@javiermolacobos It was an authentic hairpiece. He started rocking it at age 19. Look it up.

@@morrison1405 Well, according to his biography, he began to go bald at the age of 19, which is the age he was in the video. It fooled us all well because it seemed so real.

Against Ríos,a other player of the "mob".

Si hablamos únicamente del juego todos los tenistas que hubo en aquella época fueron genios. Si hablamos de talento puro McEnroe y Becker están a la par. Si hablamos como persona y su comportamiento, el tiempo pone a cada uno en su sitio. Si hablamos del video, se puede llegar a entender que Becker se moleste puesto que es una competición oficial y a parte del dinero se juegan prestigio y Agassi en ese momento y otros del partido, le vacila. Por otro lado como espectáculo para el público perfecto. Agassi fue el ejemplo claro de show en un deporte que en ese momento era muy elitista. Por cierto la televisión basura y me apunto a lo de rico.

All eras have their magic, but without a doubt, that was epic

Life takes many turns
