Since we got our hopes slightly raised by that thread about Justine coming back (if only to see somebody that will not go onto a court already one set down against Venus or Serena), I ask: who do you really miss?
One man, one woman.
I miss Edberg. The on court demeanor. The 'I-don't-run-I-glide-around-the-court' movement. The weird forehand that made him human. The textbook one handed backhand. The even weirder second serve that showed that to have a great second serve technique comes second to confidence. The 'I can volley cross court from my shoelaces and still hit a winner' volleys.
And I miss Steffi. That slice backhand at a time when everybody was hitting two handers, as if to say 'I will switch my backhand when YOU win 23 grand slams, thank you very much'. The quietness. The elegance. The 'this is my job' attitude.
The forehand. Yes, I miss that crazy laser forehand.

Stefan and Steffi. Who do you miss?
