If truly old school, then I'm saying Rod Laver. His quick coiling motion, the relentless serve and volleying, superb backhand, the wristy forehand, the unflappable overhead. And he was only 5'8''! His footwork was speedy, and he looked like a wily fox!

I use to like Boris Becker. I liked how he dove all over the court for the balls!

Well, Mac's my childhood idol. I did everything to copy his game, even his serve. I had his cross trainer shoes too. He's the newer old school. lol

Becker is old school? Aghh! Makes me feel old.
His racquets are great though. Especially the Deltacore Legend.

Here's a color video of the 1969 match that finalized Laver's 2nd Grand Slam. Look at those backhands at the end!
