Currently looking at some highlights of the old time greats of tennis, my jaw dropped while watching this video. Becker was definitely the most entertaining to watch of them all!
Becker was the player with the most pressure in the game. Never passive, always in the attack modus! And from the playing skills so complete. The complete opposite of the todays monoton game. Everyone is playing more or less the same style!
@@boriskostic6964he played in the most competitive era of men's tennis namely Lendl 8 times GS winner, McEnroe 8 times GS winner, Agassi 8 times GS titles, Sampras 14 times GS winner, Courier 4 times GS winner, Edberg 6 times GS winner, Wilander 7 times GS title winner
Boris Beckers heavy forehand and return of serve were also very significant factors in his game. Becker occasionally deviated from his serve-and-volley style to try to out-hit, from the baseline, opponents who normally were at their best while remaining near the baseline.
1995 Wimbledon against Agassi was one set behind and broked in second playing serve and volley then Becker began from baseline and then won the match. Agassi was baseliner was defeated by a serve and volleyer playing from baseline
@@PardeepKumar-tk8qk Yes i remember that match.Boris Becker hit threw Agassi for once,before that match in Wimbledon 1995 Agassi won 8 straight victorys against Becker. After Agassis first set win 6-2 Becker played mind games with the amreican who lost all his focus and lost.
I’ve watched all his matches (those broadcast on German television at the time) as a boy. The thing with Becker was that he could always win against anyone but also always lose against anyone. You never knew, and his tennis was always about life and death. Great drama and great art. Thank you, Mr. Becker, for some of the best memories of youth I’ve had.
That jump volley has always been spectacular and is a Boris trademark. Most of the times it wasn't necessary , but he did it for fun and show. He executed it to perfection , as i haven't seen him complaining once after a fall.
There Are Many Examples That He Needed The "Becker Dive" And No One Could Ever Do It Better. No Name Stands For The Shot Like His Name. Others Played It In Between, But With Him, It Was Part Of His Style. The German Player Had This Unique Power And Dynamic In The Jump, He Made The Shot World Famous And It Bears His Name.
His lack of discipline, mental struggles and alcahol abuse prevented him from winning 10+ slams. What a talent! I'll never understand why he never moved from that old Puma to modern rackets, that could've made a huge difference too. Boris forever!
The great Boris Becker...contender for GOAT. Great diving skills, and the boom boom serve...and he dominated for a while on the faster grass courts of Wimbledon.
You mix up the German word for a fish species (German "Hecht" - English "pike") with that for a "dive" (German verb "hechten", with the rare noun "Hecht"), which is what Becker does in many of those video clips. So "Becker-Hecht" translates as "Becker dive."
Der letzte Punkt bei der ATP WM gegen Ivanisovic war unglaublich. Ich glaube das war '94. Schade das nicht der Matchball gegen Lendl '88 Masters dabei war.
I think the Ball in Wimbledon, he played while lying on the ground, should have been Number 1. Number 2 should be in 2nd Set Semifinal vs Agassi that changed the whole match from 2:6/1:4 into a win.
Becker and Sampras played some grear matches,i think only him and Agassi were consistently given s prime Pete some troubles on hard,ok,Sampras was winning more,but it was close and funny to watch.
@@seruresto1386 He Had The Whole Package Of Shot And Some Specials Like "The Becker Dive", The Forehand-Sidespin In Every Variation, "The Becker Backhand Block" And Others. Sampras Said It Quite Right: "Boris Has A Lot Of Finesse In His Game."
@Ed Raposo Hurts my eyes seeing you comparing a 17-time grand slam champion and a 281 weeks world No. 1 Djokovic to Tsonga who was a 1-time grand slam finalist and reached the world No. 5 ranking at best.
Those were the good times (maybe until mid 2000s), when the matches were determined by the technique and ability of the players to outplay the opponent.
@@MrSpeede1 No, it is not. Not the thing is about power and stamina, almost every match is the same, every surface looks the same. Players trying to outgrind each other instead of outplaying them.

Some Of His Best Shots Are Missing: The Sidespin-Forehand (Down The Line), The Service And The "Becker-Block" Backhand. Nevertheless: The Video Is A Good One.
not even NOW ,no player can side spin it like him...that massive take back and huge wrist and forearms....nadal does it wel...but all things considered...BB the best by far of that shot
@@plasqar I Can Show You Many Examples Here, If You Want. He Always Had A Particularly Flexible Wrist And The Shot Made A Curve. He Could Do This Forehand In The Stand And When He Moved.

This is the tennis matches I know from the legends era. Faster tennis balls that were hit harder and rallies that weren’t boring. Players now are fantastic but it’s too slow.Only my opinion 👌
When ever Boris was playing, you know you are up to witness something special!!! For me the best tennis player ever!!!
I miss so much BB, his wonderful tennis, a mix of power and poetry. Greetings from Rome Italy
Great technique, powerful shots, spectacular and aggressive gameplay, stubborness and passion. That's Boris Becker!
One of the most wonderful talented exciting players of all time. I wish him well for the next stage of his life after this tough tough year...
Das waren noch Zeiten! Danke 🙏
These brilliant rallies were unbelievable. And how Becker was always rushing towards the ball. Like a keeper. A true tennis legend!
JONGE
Best tennis player in history! Puma were proud on him.

Great player,Boris Becker.
His exchanges with Sampras were the best.
agree. The hannover 96 match i think is one of the best matches ever played (especially indoors)
only one indoor carpet....elsewhere..no show...
0:22 that tweeter though

Damn I had no Idea that he was able to do those shots.
I used to imitate his jumps and wins in my parents bedroom infront of the mirror. Awesome!

lol how is that the name of a move? It's just a dive every can do.
@@Vipa567 It was just typical for him
@@Vipa567 But Boris was perfect at it, there were just some players who imitated him and some who made fun of him.

Boris and Edberg for me
This video explains why Boris has needed a new hip! Great player though with a very entertaining, attacking style.
he was actually too massive and heavy for tennis
My idol forever.

Accurate selection 💯🔥👏👌🤸
Where is the Match point against Lendl from the 5 set thriller at Madison square garden ? That rally was something else.
Love Boris tennis
I loves BB from his first Wimbledon title
1:43 Min.: Quite Rare - One-Handed Sidespin Backhand.
Rare today but not really rare for Becker or many others during his day.

Alcaraz is spectacular too.
Boris could have been a world class goalkeeper if he wanted to, insane reflexes and agility.
None of the Big 3 can volley even 25% as well as Boom Boom Becker.
He is somehow more charismatic even though he underachieved
Crazy to fall down and win the point. Can’t see similar scenario these days 😀
Those were the good times (maybe until mid 2000s), when the matches were determined by the technique and ability of the players to outplay the opponent.

Technique and ability also comes with athleticism, and that means hard work.
It never was pure talent, and those who only relied on talent never got far.
Tennis has made a huge step backwards over the last 30, 40 years.
It's almost unbelievable how much more skilful tennis was back in the day.
Fantastic player, who set incredible technical standards for the modern game ..but the dives were sometimes too much..

Every Time in the attack Modus that was Becker !
most of the matches was against Sampras. Salute for both of them.😅
Boris did a tweener before it was called tweener.
I've often wondered what if Becker and McEnroe were the same age
They where soo much better... Sampras and Becker still would serve everyone out from today's boring game
Movie right club
Bum Bum Becker
In Germany wie say: Maschine

Hubert Hurkacz playing style is similar to Boris Becker.

Ich bin deine neue Tochter, ich bin in Innsbruck, dann in Salzburg, ich bin Opernkomponistin und Authorin. Ich liebe Dich! Angela Becker
Ich sehe dem Papa ins Gesicht
Es schiesst durch mich Ich liebe Dich!
Er führt mich sachte ans Altar
Ich sage laut Ja ! Ja !Ja !
Mit Anna Ermolaeva
sprech` ich urplötzlich leise Russisch
Und Maxi schneit zu mir herab
Wie Sonnenstrahl
Vom Berg Montblanc!
Er hat vereint United Nations
Mein Papa spricht das Zauberrussisch
Und leise rieselt vor dem Tor
Neben ihm ganz ein ausser Mohr!
Ich gucke gerne ins Gesicht
Von meiner Mama,
Sie heisst Anna
Und schaut schlaksig mir nicht
Dir nicht
Mein Sohn Max Angelo Grigorian
Aus seinen Auglein fliessen rasch
Ganz heisse Tränen,
Wie im Rausch
Hört er Gericht in seinem Saal
Lärmt laut, wie der Wortschwall
Und all Anwallungen im Herzen
Die Anwaltschaften an seiner Rechten
Tun ihm zu Vieles um genug
Zu dimmen, sein Liebesgemueth!
Denn wer in Deutschland war geboren
Im Auslaenderschoss, in den Huren
Schoss fielen goldene Eier
Mein Maxi ist mir nun zu teuer
Der eignen Mutter wird zur Reue
Die ganzen Jahre ohne Kind
Doch lieber Gott will es bereuen
Und gibt ihr neue, ganz geschwind
Aus ihrem Geiste springen raus
Die Opernkinder
*Anne Frank’s Haus
Darauf folgt gleich Evgeny Van Gogh
Die Kinder schenkt ihr lieber Gott
Weil sie ausm Hause stammet Verdi
Und Mozart, Beethoven!
Grigorian
Ist Boris Beckers neue Tochter
Und Maxi hängt in seinem Arm
Denn dieser Worldwide Tennisgod
Spielt mit dem Herzen der Nation
Und Maxi ist in seinem Arm
Ganz Becker und nicht Grigorian
Und neuer Name seiner Mama
Lautet Anna Ermolaeva
Sie spricht mit Maxi gerne Russisch
Und leise singt danach Katjush
Denn was entfällt dem weiblichen Schoss
Wird aufgesammelt von dem Gott
Und legt er einst sein’Haende ans
Max Herz und Kopf
Wird Goldner Hans
Aus meinem Sohn
Und Goldnes Haus
Wird neues Haus von meinem Max
Sodass die langen Jahre von Elend
Hier finden rasch ein Happy End
Und Maxi Angelo beendet
Hiermit Gericht in Boris’
Hands of God!
Ich leibe Dich
