I can see how that would come back.

Um, I had a glance, um, at the rafter match on YouTube and it was interesting.

One of the first comments under the match is serving volley or IP.

Uh,

So you were a serving volley player.

You had the fastest serve on record at 149 miles per hour until Andy Roddick broke it.

I was reading, and I guess it's of the time, in 2006, you were doing an email Q&A and you were saying, and this is in 2006,

that you felt like a dying breed by the end of your career as a servant volley player.

This year, the balls are even slower than ever, you wrote in 06.

The courts are stickier.

It's more and more difficult to play that game.

And I think it's a shame that we're losing this style of tennis.

The game has become much more one-dimensional.

Rafa Nadal typifies the modern style.

A lot of energy, hits a lot of balls back, does a lot of running.

But what brought me into tennis was the way McEnroe played with his servant volley game.

And I always liked to watch a contrast of styles.

the sort of matches that Sampras and Agassi would have played.

So talk to us about your game and about how you became a dying breed and why.

Can I ask why, by the way, I mean, I developed the point by all means and the various changes, but just interrupt.
