Wimbledon 2022: The Resurgence of the Approach Game
John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, and Pete Sampras are multi-time winners at Wimbledon. But not only do these legends of the sport share this significant achievement, but they all also used a similar weapon to earn it: a lethal approach game.
Whether as part of a serve and volley strategy or the opportunistic attempts to cut off an opponent's shots at the net, the approach game is a bygone staple of men's tennis, all but wiped out by the rise in baseline play since the 1990s.
But recent trends at the hallowed grounds of SW19 suggest that the approach game may be having a resurgence.
