I just wanted to share this video, Is from 2004 , Federer and Nalbandian. Some of the most flawless tennis I have seen, with both man at the top form it seems.
Thanks. Although I'm far from a clay aficionado, I quite enjoyed viewing this intriguing duel. In addition, it was refreshing to observe how close to the baseline both players played, which shows that quality clay court tennis doesn't have to consist exclusively of repetitious, mundane top spin shots.
Chesnokov was a beautiful player, quite agile for a man of his stature. He was able to chase down a few balls which were seemingly unreachable.
One of the interesting elements of those two clips is that despite the prolonged rallies, they weren't played passively. Each shot seemed to have some meaning behind it. Actually, I think both players were playing aggressive clay court tennis, especially Chesnokov. I mean, one of the problems with two-handed players is the lack of creativity, but Chesnokov was able to generate beautiful angles with his.
Moreover, he was also capable of flattening it out. Wilander left a volley hanging in the first clip and Chesnokov patiently slid into the shot, hitting a cross-court backhand which was as flat as any that I've seen.
They were probing, using the angles and no it wasn't just hitting for the sake of hitting, they were waiting for the right ball to finish the point, or Wilander coming to the net and Chesnokov would pass him.
I used to love watching Arazi as well, smooth and fluid game, I always felt if he was a few inches taller and had a bigger serve he'd have won a lot more but still, the way he was, winning 1 title is absolutely madness.
Lendl had no sense of humour at all.. I remember when Mecir made a light joke out of his compulsive disorder about towels not being anywhere near the court, he did not look too pleased.
