  1. This really shows how radically different the Borg forehand was during his reign. His whiplash motion and open stance may have had more of a significant impact on tennis than any tournament won or record he ever achieved. Imagine if he had the use of a modern composite racquet and better strings back in the day.

  2. Just clicked through to this video from a link in one of my Grade 11 PE assessments on the role of teachnology and biomechanics in the evolution in sport. He was discussing the changes in technique in tennis. Thankyou for providing him with this. A great video.
