This proves my point I have been making for years. Todays tennis players could not perform at all if they had to use traditional equipment, their game is reduced by 99% when using traditional equipment. Therefore you have to conclude that todays equipment is ASSISTING the player artificially and therefore their strokes today are not due to natural talent but it’s the artificial handicap from the new technology. Furthermore no player today can conclude that they are the greatest because they are claiming this while using the modern artificial equipment. As I stated many times the players from the past era were so much more talented as the skill had to come from within there was no assistance from any technology. This is a major reason why tennis has lost its charisma personality popularity today because the harder and faster the ball goes it takes away from the personality of the game. In this video there was better shot making more skill it was more fun to watch there was more friendly gestures, when the ball is slowed up it opens the game up to skills that are not present today. If they volleyed it would have even been better. And the one player who said ‘it’s because of this’. Yes he made mistakes not because of the racket but because he lacked the skill to handle the ball using that racket. No real sport allowed their equipment to change to assist the player. Baseball and football are the two perennial sports that contain the best athletes and their equipment has not changed. Tennis today is finished all due to the technology they allowed in. It’s boring and robotic and it’s all baseline. And the technology is performing, not the player. It’s why there are 40 million pickle ball players now and only 1.5 million tennis players that are active in the US.

Grigor: comments on the unique racquet, analyzes the progress of tennis in the last 70 years Andrey: generates the content we actually want on this channel
My God, the shots Grigor was able to play with a wooden racket makes you wonder...Bjön Borg was probably THE player with the most spin back in the days with a wooden racket. But I was so impressed with the amount of control Grigor was having with a racket from the 50s!!!
This is the type of content I didn't know I needed until now! I would watch a whole tournament of this, where in each match the players draw a new card/racket.

Love this match-up! Rublev and Dimitrov are always a pleasure to watch!!!! More videos like these!
I love this concept! You should make it a series and bring more players
As Grigor said, he can play flat, and with such a small head racket, playing with massive spin is nearly impossible. His technique is impeccable as well, a joy to watch.
Just amazing how quickly Grigor progressed in quality from points 1-4 to the last points. Maybe it was predictable, but I was quite impressed.
Way to go, such great players and sportsmanship.
I like the added touch of using white balls!
Watched this again because they will be playing against each other in the semis tomorrow in Shanghai. Would love to see what they can do with their modern rackets. I admire both these guys!

Creative concept. One of my most favorite videos in this channel ❤
i didnt know about this video, was incredible!!! thank you!!
I learned tennis around 1975 as a 13 year old. Of course, most racquets were wood. I got into tennis pretty hard and played on my high school tennis team and I got quite good. My last wooden racquet was a Donnay Borg model-awesome racquet. Went to college and didn't play for a number of years. When I picked it back up around 1992, all the racquets were composite construction and oversized heads. The first time I played with it, I felt like it was impossible to mis-hit the ball! The head was so huge it was easy to hit in the sweet spot every time. I felt like the game got too easy with these new racquets. Now of course the game is very different. I would love to see some of the current/recent stars have to play with the old wooden racquets. I wonder if the pure power players wouldn't be as (relatively) good as they are with the current racquets. I wonder if the current players with more touch and finesse would still be as relatively good (Federer, for example).
Wilson Jack Kramer, a beautiful racquet. It was my first tennis racquet back in 1975. Technology didn't change as quickly as today, it was already more than 20 years since it was introduced.
Grigori looks so stylish with that vintage wool and all white outfit and wooden racquet. He is a true ambassador of the sport in its classic heritage. We have no Roger anymore, but there is still Dimitrov carrying the torch. --- Well, pretty nice idea this was; lottery through the game's history. And as a stingy final note: Grigorette won the clash of decades but Rublo took the Monte Carlo Masters title. To each their own.
I’ve always loved Rublev. Really fun to watch and I think he’s hilarious.
Would be fun to see Roger and Rafa play this game, or whole match with 1950s rackets wonder who would win

I think Roger because of his playability. Roger and Grigor have similar play style and their groundstrokes have basically the same movement.
