For today's episode of Monday Match Analysis Classics, I bring on Hall of Fame tennis writer Steve Flink to discuss a match that he remembers fondly. World #1 John McEnroe was undefeated in 1984, on the longest undefeated streak to start a season in tennis history. He looked for his first ever French Open title. An American had not won since 1953. His opponent in the final was second-ranked Ivan Lendl. The young Czech was 0-4 in major finals coming into this one. Lendl's before-his-time heavy groundstroke game against McEnroe's sensational net game made for an incredible watch.

It's the first edition of Monday Match Analysis Classics! Why has the serve and volley play style died? It all comes down to effectiveness and necessity. Modern racket and string technology has enabled levels of topspin that make net play less effective,and less necessary. I break down the epic 4th set tiebreak in the 1980 Wimbledon final between Bjon Borg and John McEnroe to compare the old school game to the modern game. Plus, I review the 2009 tennis film Borg vs. McEnroe.

Rafael Nadal beat Taylor Fritz in the 2020 Acapulco final to secure his 3rd career title at the event and his 1st of 2020. Novak Djokovic was triumphant in his return to Dubai, taking out Gael Monfils and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the finals, to remain undefeated in 2020. Former top-100 ATP pro and the founder of Tennis Evolution (https://tennisevolution.com/) Jeff Salzenstein joins MMA. The first edition of the French Open Power Rankings are revealed. I respond to your comments on Djokovic's dropshots, the surface distribution at slams and if Indian Wells is a good surface to Nadal to beat Djokovic.

Stefanos Tsitsipas won his first title of 2020 in Marseilles over Felix Auger-Aliassime. I discuss how Tsitsipas broke out of his slump, and why FAA should look to the Greek for clues on how to take the next step. Reilly Opelka won the Delray. I compare the American big man to John Isner. Plus, Christian Garin won it all on the Rio clay courts. In comment response, I discuss Daniil Medvedev's slow start to the season, Roger Federer's knee surgery, who is the better counter-puncher between Nadal and Djokovic, Gael Monfils, Andrey Rublev and more!

Gael Monfils secured back-to-back titles for the first time in his career with his win over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the 2020 Rotterdam final. I discuss how Monfils has maintained his explosive movement, but added efficiency in his shot selection. On the contrary, FAA's shot selection is leaving something to be desired. Your comments ranged from Federer & Djokovic's scheduling, to the grand slam race, to the disappointing starts to 2020 for Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Novak Djokovic came back from two-sets-to-one down for the first time in a major final, beating Dominic Thiem 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 to win the 2020 Australian Open. I break down how the match went from tactical to physical and where Djokovic found the edge. Also, I address the controversy surrounding Djokovic's medical timeout, time violation and interaction with the umpire. Then, I take your comments on the Aussie Open court conditions, Djokovic's mental strength, comparing Medvedev to Thiem, and early French Open thoughts.
