You know what is really amazing?! The time between points. Sampras and Becker both serve within about 5 seconds. Never see that anymore!

Yep...the best thing about Sampras, Borg and Federer is they just got/get on with it. I have a strong preference for fast tempo service preparation. McEnroe and Connors took forever, and I only forgave them because they were so darned good...as is Nadal. I can't remember if was Stockton or Brian Teacher who took an age to serve (or both) but I had to switch off when lesser players took the full 30 seconds (as it was back then) to serve.

HOw about the thirty bounces Joker does to serve when he wants to freeze his opponent?
