This was one of Becker's best ever comebacks, because Agassi had won their previous 8 meetings quite easily and was beginning to really dominate Becker, so for Boris to come back from 6-2, 4-1 double break down and win like that I think was psychologically huge for Becker.
Yes Becker a dying breed - The Serve Volley and Agassi the pioneer that now is the modern game. Love Becker's serve motion which I tried to emulate as a kid.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Becker had a complete game. He was an underrated baseliner, but in a way it was his own fault that he lost motivation from 1992-1994 at his peak. He lost precious years when he could have been a huge force. His baseline game in 1991 was sensational. His serve was still powerful but he didn't rely on it like he used to. Sampras was lucky that both Andre and boris had career slumps of sorts.
Becker had an unexpected late-career flourish starting with this tournament - he went on to make the semis at the US Open where he had not been a factor for years, won the season-ending Masters Cup, then won the '96 Aussie Open where he hadn't been past the early rounds since '91.
One of the biggest and most important victories of Boris career. He stayed calm and play very regardful and attentive. Great Tennis from Boris Becker. 😃🎾👍👍👍
Well done, Boris! That was a superb comeback against an initially awesome Agassi. However, experience and tenacity prevailed, and the brilliant Boris Becker made it through to his seventh Wimbledon final.
“He’s not playing Elting anymore. He’s playing three time Wimbledon champion and six time finalist in Boris Becker. One of the greatest grass court players ever.” John McEnroe at 4-3 in the third set, seeing Boris pull ahead.
The reason Agassi beat Becker so often came out recently. Andre studied videos of Boris over and over, and finally realized that Boris stuck his tongue out slightly when he served out wide, but did not when he served up the middle. Andre said that it was tough waiting to use the advantage this information gave him only on the big points. When he told Boris about it after they retired, Boris said, "It was like you were reading my mind every time I served out wide!"
Ha ha... Yeah, there's a nice video of Agassi talking about it. The best part of that video for me was AA saying the challenge was not actually breaking Becker, but KNOWING when to deploy that knowledge to break him.
Thank you for uploading all of these classic 90s matches! Even though I'm too young to have seen most of them live. I really enjoy learning about the game and seeing how it's evolved in the past 20-30 years.
Glad you're enjoying them. Take a look at this channel and many others as well. Lots of good stuff out there. Even some of the slams are uploading higher quality highlights from some of the older matches.
Becker was so powerful.I mean his strokes had such power...he served hard only when he needed to...but he had it until he retired.. he just came across as a bit lazy to me..My dad loved both these guys so much.
This is an incredible win by Becker! Unbeknownst to anyone else at the time Agassi had figured out Becker pointed his tong in the direction of his serve, so he knew where he was going to serve every time. Which is why he beat him I think they said in the video 8 times in a row at this point. Somehow Becker shifted into another gear on this day and managed to win without his biggest weapon. 👌
That's exactly right. His baseline game had matured incredibly well. He was still hitting hard but nowhere like 1991. It was precise and calculated and that's why he won on medium slow hard in AO 1996. His serve was not at all a factor but his baseline game and transition play was sublime here and going forward.
mamsf - I remember this well as I was a huge Agassi fan. I think Becker got into his head midway through the 2nd set but in 'Winning Ugly' Agassi admitted he was already thinking about playing Pete in the final. Big mistake. At least he made amends in New York 10 weeks later.
I love Beckers technique, it is almost flawless, with better judgement he would have won many more titles. There are some similarities with Federes game. Beckers volley is a bit better however, naturally, his game from the base line nor serve can not measure up to Federes. But considering he played the game in the 80's, his technique is extremely good.
I always thought Becker did a great job of mixing up his game which would at times confuse and frustrate his opponent. He would come to the net sometimes out of instinct rather than because he hit a great approach shot just to throw his opponent off like "why is he coming to the net off of THAT crappy approach?"
I disagree about Boris' serve, for me it was a bigger weapon than Federer's, especially on his prime. Federer better from the baseline, volleys I pick Becker.
Becker’s service when in his prime was an absolutely overwhelming weapon, on fast Grass it was definitely superior to Federers! Players used to say of Becker’s Serve that it was an overpowering stroke, and referred to it as “ Sledgehammer “ like!!
@ppm120667 It appears people think I am critical to Becker, I am not. I admire him as a player who deserves more credit. To me, his power game was much more modern than Lendl (and they competed at least 8-9 years). Comparing with Federer is supposed to be compared to very very high level and given the opportunity to play today, he could be at the same level, perhaps better. However his judgement could be improved and that was partly a coach problem, entering the game at 17 having Tiriac as coach also means a drawback. Tiriac famous for getting Vilas lose his head and try to play serve and volley, which he could not. Lendl coach Tony R not preventing him(Lendl) from volleying badly at Wimbledon. Today you would have three coaches who could help you focus on your strength and improve weaknesses. Something players did scarcely in the 70-90's. That is one reason behind the big three, the first ones who (with a lot of help) focus on continuously improving their game. I also hear Becker had bad problem with his feet, with huge blisters on them. Something that could be dealt with better today.
Masterful analysis of the game from Becker- he completely switched tactics and instead of trading blows with Agassi he begun slicing everything back to stay in the point and ask different questions and force Andre to come up his own plan B, which he never did.
Blame Greg Rusedski who started the nonsensical towelling off as a pre-serve routine. He was notorious for towelling off even between aces! Shamelessly admitted it in an interview on Sky Sports. Didn’t help him win a major anyhoo.
at 6-2, 4-1, two breaks up on Becker, leading 15-0 on his own serve and well on the way to one of the most impressive semifinal demolitions in modern Wimbledon history, Agassi badly misses a simple offensive forehand wide after Becker's weak mid-court service return. And from there, it all unraveled in the blink of an eye into the most bizarre loss of Agassi's 20-year career.
Becker upped his game mid second set, you can see it clearly. So it was not only Agassi dropping in quality. Boris demolished Agassi in the tiebreaks. Andres stats in tiebreaks are certainly pale in comparison to his standard.
I’m glad Pete took care of big Boris , in the final.... after the final, Becker said ‘’ I handed Pete the key to the castle , it was mine, now it belongs to Pete ‘’. Damn right 👍🏻🇺🇸
But mac gave proof of the becker serve decline. Agassi becker tell knowledge didnt help him here and also despite this tell agassi tanked the match to michael chang australian open 1996 proving the becker tongue tick tell was not that an important weapon. It was more of beckers form and serve decline which caused agassi beating him 8 times in a row.
Isn't this the match where Agassi claims Boris blew kisses to Brooke? I've looked for it after the tiebreaker when he claims it happened but haven't found it and wondering if this is hot air. Anybody else found it?
it was all invented by toxic brooke. Thats what she would have love to had happened. In reality she wanted to f.k becker. She knew Becker had caroline of monaco and lady diana of wales as his lovers. Thats how toxic chicks operate. And finally Beckers wife was sitting there and although a professional womanizer, he wouldnt have "blown kisses to shields" at that particular moment. It wasnt captured on camera either.
No baseline rallies in pre 2001 Wimbledon? Give me a damn break. This match was every bit as exciting as a Federer Nadal Wimbledon match except parts of the 1st set.
Ya Agassi is good but his racket is YUGE - I would like to see what kind of game he would have had with a wooden racket, a T 2000, or even an 85 dq inch 6.0... I have plated with a Connors T2000 - no way Agassi could square up all his shots with a small head
It always amazes me that tennis is played on grass. Talk about a maintenance pain in the ass. What's the point? There better be something very special about it. Becker showed his greatness. Agassi at that time was beatable but he had to lose. Beating him was unlikely, I mean that Agassi had to be off his game. Some players are super consistent and if you are on that day you could beat tbat player. My opinion of Agassi, like I said above, is that he was so good that he could only be beaten if he allowed you to do so by not playing well. I hope I am explaining well. Isn't tennis great? I loved paying tennis and love watching the greats play. Anyone liking racket sports should also go watch a pro squash match live, played on a glass wall court. Tennis is exciting but squash makes tennis look like slow motion, relatively. Yeah I must mention the advantage of having brad Gilbert as a coach. Gilbert knew how to win but didn't have the natural ability to be go with that knowledge. He must have loved to play through Agassi. I imagine him imagining himself playing using Andres body and his skills and decisions. Funny that someone would say Becker had a good solid year but not amazing being #4 in the world. How can that not be amazing. Think of how many matches you have to win against top world players to attain that. I guess it's because I never got better than #3007 in the world.
Real tennis? At last. I already forgot about its existence. It turns out it is possible to play without stupid digital clues, without arrogant RF and a suffering RN
@@VoltagePurple When i remember correct they were very strict in the 80s, beginning 90s. It was rumoured Agassi doesnt play Wimbledon (he didnt play it until 1991) cause of his outfit habbits. And then when he entered 1991 the first time, he played (at least his first match) in total white outfit.
@@Bhavyo Hi, it depends on how you mean "strict". Wimbledon's rules calls for "Predominately white" clothing. And in 1991, Agassi's very differently cut, but still in white, outfit could pass. If you look back at the '80s and and early '90s, most tennis players were always wearing a mostly white shirt and white shorts, regardless of the tournament. So it wasn't an issue. They just wore the same stuff. But most of the shirts had colored graphics or colored sleeves. Look at Edberg's shirt from 1990, that would never make it in now.
I recall hearing all the crap excuses people made for Andre Agassi losing this match. "Oh, the pressure of being #1 got to him," was my favorite. He came into this match with all the momentum in the World and was up 6-2, 4-1 in the 2nd Set. He should have had the match in hand but he lost to a 3-time Wimbledon Champion. And truth be told, had he held on and blasted Boris Becker in straight sets like it looked like he was going to do, he probably would have lost to Pete Sampras in the Finals. You win championships by finding ways to win close matches, NOT by bulldozing opponents. Oh, and 27 years after the fact, was I alone in finding it odd that in prim and proper Wimbledon, Andre was still allowed to wear that silly scarf on his head?
I remember watching this live...Agassi was in peak form..And everyone expected Agassi to win comfortably...But Becker was superb...I am a Becker fan..
Same here Vinay..Coincidentally we share the same name as well.

1:34:15 - yes great observation & comment by Mac - the best tennis analyst
It is insane how many times Andre advanced deep into the second week of Wimby during the serve/volley era.
One of the greatest turnarounds from 2/6, 1/4 in a Wimbledon SF... against Agassi....
When you think this is crazy watch Becker vs Agassi 1989, Davis Cup. Becker turned a 6/7 6/7 (both Tie Break) into a Win.
Boris looked physically in a much better shape than 1992. Pete was just unbeatable...
The old master was just amazing in this day
I remember watching this game live on TV... Brilliant performance by Boris Becker...

Overall it looked like Agassi expected Becker to just hand over the match. By the time he discovered such was not the case, it was too late.
90’s rising times of the Brain!! Cool to see nice to follow!!! I love to be able to watch they old timers thoughts!!!!😉😉😉🙃
Imagine how I felt when my favorite Steffi married the guy I simply could not stand !
well said!
@@ncf1 Agassi was ok but I think he won some of his matches on crystal meth -
Completely agree. Steffi was a wholesome beautiful German girl. Best women in the world Germans. And she went for that low life bitter freak Agassi
one of the greatest, strangest Wimbledon matches of all time, Agassi plays some of the best tennis ever seen at SW19 then biggest choke of all time

Basically giving Andre no pace and no consistent target
He also made a pass at his sexy girlfriend. Enough to piss off any guy.
I don’t understand how these guys could play. How can they play without a toweling after every friggin point.
👌🏻👏
because the rallies weren't long at all? Because Tennis athletically isnt even comparable pre 2000 and over
53 minutes in and there isn't even beaded sweat on their uniforms......Tennis changed massively
Scott Branson so baseline rallies are easier than serve/volleying?
Blame Greg Rusedski who started the nonsensical towelling off as a pre-serve routine. He was notorious for towelling off even between aces! Shamelessly admitted it in an interview on Sky Sports. Didn’t help him win a major anyhoo.
Becker had often problems to beat Agassi, but in his livingroom he gained the upper hand this time.
Becker had an excellent slice backhand.
Graf taught him.
Agassi’s pirate period.
Incredible stats on the break point opportunities.
Great match. Becker's forehand wiggly bit made the difference.

Peter Hammer tiebreaks are for big servers! Agassi too short
I wonder if McEnroe and the other guy can get a bit closer to each other in the commentary box.
Unfortunately for these guys in the 90s they were just playing for 2nd place with Sampras around

Dura derrota para Agassi quien logró ganar el primer set 6/2 y en el segundo dejo escapar una delantera de 4/1 estando en servicio.
It would be interesting to watch John McEnroe vs Becker on grass especially in Wimbledon. We could only imagine and wonder who would win
Becker too much power for McEnroe unless he's playing like in 1984.
they did play against each other in australia , i think mcenroe won, but becker was really dismal that day
leonardo reyes with wooden raquets and both in their prime, Mac, in real life Boris anytime.
Read the tongue Andre, read the tongue.
