Cool character too, rarely a complaint or misbehaviour on court.

He had a couple of good matches with Becker and Ivan Lendl too.

Borg, Sampras and Federer were better players than Edberg at Wimbledon.

cause pete would really destroy his opponents in the finals.. only richard kajicek was able to hold him in his era.. i still feel sampras was a way better player then we have today...there wre a lot of good players then

Edberg was indeed a treat to watch.. Every stroke is poetic, every movement lyrical.You need to see it to believe it.. His serve and volley game was so exciting to watch. His wimby finals against Becker were the best..

Edberg was indeed the best player to watch as a spectator.........always at his impeccable behaviour- never throwing a tantrum and keeping his calm.

He had the best serving motion espceially for that kick serve which he would invariably follow in to volley.........Yeah talking of volleys - what a volleyer he was. Poetry in motion - fantastic hands at the net - always caressing the ball and not slaughtering it like the players of today.

The ATP sportsmanship award is rightly named after the ever great Stefan Edberg.

I remember a french open final where Edberg played his serve and volley game even on clay court against michael chang and expectedly lost
