Rising Stars of Tennis

In 1985, two out of the four Grand Slams have been won by two of the hottest teens on the circuit scilicet Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg. Both these Grand Slams have been played on grass courts. It seems like a new generation of grass court players are blossoming. Both Becker and Edberg won in their first Grand Slam Final. These two look like they will shape the future of tennis in the years to come. The future of tennis looks bright. It is also interesting to note that Becker overcame two terribly tough matches against Nystrom and Mayotte at Wimbledon before defeating Kevin Curren in the final. Edberg, like Becker, overcame a scary match against Wally Masur and out wrestled Ivan Lendl in the pit before triumphing over Mats Wilander in an uninteresting final. The match against Masur was the turning point for Edberg just like for Becker it had been his match against Nystrom.
