Loved it Gary. Notice how Pete Sampras represents the modern servers of today by ending up with his front foot landing in the court while Beckers' form is of a past era which brings the back foot forward. Interestingly enough, they were both serve and volleyers. It makes you think about how recreational players emulate the pro du jour without understanding how these details affect their game.
