11/06/2007 | One of the greatest of all time, definately the best pure volley that ever lived. Especially considering how aweful his forehand was, you can imagine how great his serve and volley game had to be to win 2 U.S., 2 Austrilain, 2 Wimblen, and even making to 1 French final during the era when tennis was at its prime. He won a lot of double titles too.

03/04/2006 | Great player, nice guy - but bit limited in my eyes. Great serve and volley specialist. Bit weak from the baseline. What a weak forehand! Great, but not among the all times best.

02/18/2005 | for me the same level as becker. they had a nice rivalery. both 6 slams. becker the more impressive personality, more giftet, cause he was able to play also powertennis from the baseline. edberg was longer number one. but he had this weak weak forehand! great player but like becker: not among the all time greatest.

02/03/2005 | Having won six Grand Slam in a period when the competition was really tough, Stephan should rank in the top ten. Even though his forehand was questionable, he still managed to reach the number one ranking and stay in the top ten for most of his career.
Truly a class act all the way, even as a junior Wimbledon champion, one has to look hard to find a similary class in the remainder of the 90s.
Today, Roger Federer may turn out to be that rare combination of class and talent.

07/04/2004 | Stephan is the best player of all. Quite, polite, and no cursive words like McEnroe, always won ATP tours in Frankfurt, Germany special price. My mother who is 77 lives in Frankfurt, Germany misses his tournaments.

07/03/2004 | This guy was a mediocre tennis player when compared to the real greats. Edberg never threatened at the french and seemed lost when he had to resort to plan B. He was a very good volleyer and had a good backhand. that is about all that kept him in the hunt. Honestly, his name does not belong here.

10/01/2003 | Stefan was a truly talented and solid big-time achiever. From his junior tennis to Pro Level he has been a consistent achiever. It took time for his career to really take off because of a suspect fighting spirit. Once he kicked that weakness he became a true champion. A beautiful game, with an elegant one-hander, wicked kick-serve,and razor-sharp volleys..it became a menace for most of his opponents.stefan was an artist, a strategist and not a bulldozer. If only he had a bigger dose of the latter quality he would have been truly one of the greatest.

05/28/2003 | Stefan Edberg was a fierce competitor and his tennis game is all but a lost art. His game was 'old-school' -somewhat similar to McEnroe's. I never have seen anyone, past or present, volley as much or as effectively as Edberg. He wasn't extremely athletic but he had a huge heart which more than compensated for lack of quickness. He's a great person, also.

05/27/2003 | Great player during the post Borg Swedish domination era. Always running around a forhand that looked like a tennis instructors nightmare, he played the rest of his game with grace and consistancy. Always a pleasure to watch.

05/04/2003 | Maybe not the best ever, but there was a day...a US Open final vs. Courier...that he could have beaten anyone who ever played. Just an incredible performance.

03/18/2003 | the best of the 90s even with a suspect forehand but covered up with serve, volley & backhand. All around class act!

11/14/2002 | Didn't get a lot of the respect he should have. THAT FACT is evidenced on this website because his name is spelled "STEFAN" not Stephan. He won two Wimbledons, two U.S. Opens, and two Australians, and hardly ever made a complaint about a call. He didn't wear his heart on his sleeve, he just went out and played fluid, graceful, classy tennis. And he won a lot of matches that way.
