7 attributes that could create the ultimate tennis player

6. Volley (Stefan Edberg)

Stefan Edberg

One of the most successful exponents of the serve-and-volley game, Stefan Edberg had a beautiful volley. He had great control over his wrist movement; his volleys seemed to stick to his racquet and were very rarely misdirected.

Edberg had a great drop-volley as well.

His net skill was the primary reason behind his success at the Wimbledon. The three consecutive finals he played against Boris Becker at Wimbledon were visual treats for the spectators because of the superb volleys played by those two players.

John McEnroe also was a brilliant volleyer and so was Pete Sampras, but because of his sheer elegance and class, Edberg wins this battle. Becker, as mentioned earlier, also had some outrageous diving volleys.
