I remember this match well; pretty much everyone felt the winner of this match would go on to win the Championship, but Edberg deservedly won the final that year - which was Becker's first-ever defeat on Centre Court.
Cash had a very old fashioned textbook style. He was one of the few right-handed players to still land on his right foot when serving (oddly enough Becker was the only other in that era). The "textbook" style could make his game seem slightly mechanical. I think his forehand in particular suffered - he didn't get the power that his physique might have allowed him to.
Two of my 3 favorites growing up: Cash, Becker, Wilander. It was awesome to see Becker play Cash at Wimbledon. Boris was just a little better. I'm still taking Cash volleys though ;-)
Cash war schon ein super Spieler, gerade am Netz. Er ließ sich aber meistens endlos lange Zeit, bevor er mal aufgeschlagen hat. Das nervte mich ein bisschen an ihm.
@@MultiStar83 Stimmt :-) ein lockerer cooler Typ wie alle Aussies, habe ihn 1999 im Hotel beim World Team Cup in Düsseldorf getroffen, unheimlich nett und fanfreundlich, seine Karriere war leider von vielen schweren Verletzungen geprägt, sonst wärs vielleicht mehr als nur 1 Wimbledonsieg geworden... hast Du zufällig auch Matches Edberg-Mecir oder Wilander-Mecir, Edberg-Kühnen aus Wimbledon 1988 ? Diese alten Matches aus unserer Jugend gucke ich mir immer noch 100x lieber an als die monotonen Djokovic,Nadal,Tsitsipas Matches....
@@WONGLER Nein, leider habe ich sonst keine Matches von Wimbledon 1988. Ich meine aber, das Edberg-Mecir-Match wäre hier schon von jemand anderem hochgeladen worden. Vielleicht ist es aber mittlerweile auch verschwunden, wegen Urheberrechtsverletzungen möglicherweise. Mir geht es ähnlich: das Tennis von heute ist mir viel zu eintönig. Es sind sicher super Athleten heutzutage, keine Frage, aber die Abwechslung fehlt halt. Ja, Pat Cash war im Grunde schon Ende der 1980er Jahre aufgrund seiner Verletzungen mehr oder weniger weg vom Fenster, leider.

This was a real grudge match with a lot of gamesmanship and psychological one-upmanship going on. The media had really hyped it up and it was very tense. Becker himself was known for that kind of thing and cash was also notoriously peevish. A lot of tension.
Becker s'est montré incroyablement solide face à un bon Cash !!!!..il aurait largement dû battre Edberg en finale !!!d'autant que Boris avait maîtrisé avec beaucoup d'autorité Lendl en demi-finale
I don't think that's true. Becker was known to put slightly too much slice on his volleys rather than punching then cleanly. While he clearly was a good volleyer, he was not the very best.
Yes, both took endless time between service points here. There were hardly any "deuce"-games in this match, but still the match took about two and and a quarter hours for 3 rather straight sets.
NO, he had a very tough draw, if he beat Becker he would come up against Lendl then possibly Edberg. Both Becker and Edberg seemingly had the upper hand against Cash. Becker had a bigger serve and a powerful is somewhat inconsistent return and pass. Edberg had a bigger second serve and very good first serve, tremendous return especially off that backhand. Cash is weaker on his return of serve,. At this stage of their career Cash was already drifting behind both Becker and Edberg.
It was stylish and elegant Stefan Edberg's Wimbledon. Made Becker and Cash fans look like fools. Hype doesn't always win Wimbledon. True class always does.

Becker Cashed in this match.
Too bad he has no cash anymore.
Total Gladiator Tennis
Cash staring at Becker after almost every (won) point. Pretty weird.
He had it coming to him that day..

@le lion des cavernes Mais non, mais non, cher lion, Stefan a gagné à juste titre en finale W1988 contre Boris, n'êtes-vous pas heureux?
I think its well known that Boris had one of the best backhand volleys at that time. Not Cash like the guy said.
Edberg
I don't think that's true. Becker was known to put slightly too much slice on his volleys rather than punching then cleanly. While he clearly was a good volleyer, he was not the very best.
@@th8257my best volleyers:
Mac & Cash (dual #1). Mac best hands. Cash best overall.
3. Edberg
4. Sampras
5. Rafter
6. Becker
7. Henman
8. Federer (early years)
9. Laver
10. Hoad
Cash admitted his passing shots and returns weren't good enough here!
Seems like Cash can't handle Becker serve.
Shot clocks and Hawkeye have definitely improved the game. Play was way too slow back then.

Pet Flesh lost da clash and cash , too ...
Cash would’ve won this Wimbledon if he had kept playing with the Mickey Mouse Walmart Prince model that he used in the 87 Championships

Becker aurait dû remporter wimbledon en 1988
bah non il a perdu contre edberg lol

Ridiculous comment.

@@phelpsmarc Then Edberg beat Becker the next year.
