Successful comebacks?oz_boz 04-06-2005, 12:19 PM Björn Borg tried a comeback (I think it was in the early 90:s), with a wooden racquet (!). I think he won 1 match or not even that in two tournaments before quitting tennis once and for all. But can someone come up with a player who has been away from ATP at least say 2 years, but come back and won a title (I know Seles did this in the WTA)? Action Jackson 04-06-2005, 12:25 PM Mikael Pernfors between the Aus Open 90 and Miami 93 which began at March 8 he played a total of 25 matches due to injuries and won the Canadian Open during 1993. Sunfire 04-06-2005, 12:27 PM Thomas Muster ??? Action Jackson 04-06-2005, 12:28 PM Muster wasn't away from the tour for 2 years, but that is the best comeback from a serious injury. Sunfire 04-06-2005, 12:31 PM 2 years is too long. What about Sampras before he finally won his last Slam? Or maybe Agassi after his slump? oz_boz 04-06-2005, 12:44 PM OK, if 2 years is too long, say 1 then. Action Jackson 04-06-2005, 12:48 PM OK, if 2 years is too long, say 1 then. My answer not good enough for you. oz_boz 04-06-2005, 12:52 PM My answer not good enough for you. Oh yes it was. Happy that it turned out to be one of my alltime faves (Pernfors and Kent Carlsson tie as #1). Action Jackson 04-06-2005, 12:54 PM Oh yes it was. Happy that it turned out to be one of my alltime faves (Pernfors and Kent Carlsson tie as #1). If you want to read about Kent Carlsson on this board, go to the older posters thread, there is plenty of talk about him there. http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=8831 Muster is another one who would be in contention for great comeback unlike Agassi his was from a serious injury. syd 04-06-2005, 01:03 PM Originally Posted by Sunfire Or maybe Agassi after his slump? :) | |
