No, what we saw was 1 and arguably 2 past their best, and one hampered by an injury. In past years each have had no problem whatsoever blowing away everything thrown at them, big serves an all! so I don't see your reasoning re the surface. Serve and volley, and baseline huggers have both won Wimbledon, so it does not favour a style and a true great player imo can just play the game regardless whats under his feet. At the same time it will also lead to certain players favouring a particular surface, but I don't see it as a problem, and for me does not detract from the sport overall, adds to it if anything.
"Grass court tennis is pretty much brainless ball bashing which favours big servers, accelerators and big hitters that can hit it low and flat thus negating the little bounce there actually is on grass. Previously it was the Serve & Volley that reigned supreme."
DL, this has to be the worst description of Wimbledon I've ever read, sorry but it is.
Roger Federer a brainless ball-basher??
Favours big servers??, the 2 fastest recorded servers Andy Roddick and Roscoe Tanner never won it.
The only thing you have right and I feel thats more by luck than judgement, is serve n volley was more prevalent in past years, but the modern power tennis is just progression coming from modern fitness and coaching. Most physical games have evolved, so I can't see the need to say anymore to say on this.
