Seems to be a lot of well educated fans on this board. I admit I am a relative noob (have been hardcore into tennis since only around 2003ish).

My question for you guys is: Are there any methods available to watch old school matches?

I'm really interested in watching some of the old greats, and checking out the evolution of the game. But not really sure how to go about it? Any suggestions? How do you do it (if you do it)?

(Youtube has some 'old' tennis matches. Not sure how far youtube will take you back, but definitely plenty of 1990s matches and some 1980s. Just search for the players names and there will be plenty there. Also there are people who sell DVDs/videos of tennis matches dating back to the 70s. Google things like "tennis DVDs" and "Connors" etc. and you will find some people with big collections of tennis DVDs/videos)

Thanks. I'll give youtube a try.

tennis coaching tennis tactics If you're of a certain vintage, then you learned to play tennis with the classic linear forehand. You took the racket back early, played mostly neutral or closed stance, and followed through toward the target.!!!
