Good call Murph,
but another problem of Agassi was mental toughness. That has changed dramatically since he´s with Steffi.
And not to the advantage of tennis, serve and volley seems to die. Just because it´s harder to master. When you are good at it (like Sampras) you have an advantage. But it´s pretty tough to become a good, high percentage serve and volley player. Just look at the womans circuit. Venus Williams is tall, has a good serve, but yet she plays the same baseline power tennis everyone plays.
On the mens circuit there are only two players left that can really dominate with serve and volley. Sampras and Rafter. All of the young guys like Hewitt, Safin, Federer, Ferrero play baseline tennis.
