A single tennis stroke doesn’t necessarily equate to becoming a major champion, but in Edberg’s case, his proficiency as a superb serve-and-volley player, particularly on the backhand side, led him to six major singles championships and an additional three titles in men’s doubles.
Edberg’s volleying acumen was pure beauty; and while dominating net play was the hallmark of many great tennis players, few in any, were as polished and technically savvy as the Swede. With the abundance of talent on the men’s pro tour during his era (1983-96), Edberg’s game stood out for how he was able to win two Australian (1985, 1987), Wimbledon (1988, 1990) and US Open (1991, 1992) championships with a game not built on power or pace, but with precision and what many consider perfect serve-and-volley tennis. “Nobody does it (serve and volley) these days, so there is hardly any variation in the style of play,” Edberg said following his playing days. “I would love to see players serve and volley more. It’s a very sad aspect of the game that the art has vanished.”
