Classic Tennis

Today tennis field with Roger Federer, Rafael nadal, Andy Murray and lots of players who if they had been playing 20 years back would have been worthy of world No: 1 ranking. The competition today is bigger and better because of players gone by.

All this started with the Borg, McEnroe era then later on Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and Finally tennis was made into big show by Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras era.

I started following tennis when I was 8 years old watching Wimbledon finals between Becker and Edberg in the late 80's and I Love the tennis of 80's and 90's.

Apart from following tennis scene today, I will also try to serve some interesting tennis stories of past.
