Modern tennis has gone through many changes, and the 1990s were the years that served as the transition for this. Racquets quickly went from wooden ones to graphite ones, and much more happened as well.
I'd like to take a trip down memory lane by writing about my favorite five 1990s tennis players. These all come down to my personal preferences and they're not based on merit. Nonetheless, I'll be curious to see how these compare with yours.
Andre Agassi is a legend, and one of the best to ever play the sport. Not only did he have a major impact on the way the sport was played, but his fashion sense set the trend for so many great tennis clothes and sneakers.
Pete Sampras is thought by some to be the best tennis player in the history of the sport, even better than Roger Federer. How's that for a bold statement? If you saw the two play a few years ago after Sampras' retirement, you might be a believer too.
Another great 1990s tennis player was Michael Chang, perhaps my favorite player to ever play the sport. With his mentally tough approach to the sport and never say die attitude, Chang was a hero.
Jim Courier was one of the world's best for a short time period, and he was absolutely dominant during the few years that he sat atop the rankings. He burned out early like many tennis players do, but he gave us some great matches.
The last player who I'd like to mention is Alex Corretja, a Spanish player who may have been the fastest player I've ever seen during his prime. He's best known for a near win over Pete Sampras at the US Open, but rose to as high as number two in the rankings during the 1990s.
It was hard to narrow this list down to just five, as there are many others I could have mentioned. How do these players compare to yours?

So, You've Never Heard of Table Tennis?
For some, table tennis is merely a substitute for the grass-and-sun theme of the “regular” tennis court, and for others, table tennis is a competitive sport in its own right. No matter which category you fall into, table tennis definitely has something to offer you.
Table tennis is played on a hard table divided by a very soft net. It is highly fast paced, and requires not only quick reflexes, but also a bit of strategy as well. In order to understand where the strategy comes into play, a brief discussion of basic game play is required.
Table tennis consists of a small, lightweight ball and two paddles. To choose who serves first, there is either a coin toss, or the referee hides the ball in one hand and the player who guesses which hand the ball is in gets to serve. After the ball is launched, it must go over to the opponent’s side of the table once, where the opponent can then return the ball back to the other side. If, for some reason, the opponent does not return the ball back to the other side, a point is awarded.
The strategy comes into play when it comes to the serve and the return. The serve is often quick, since the only rule is that it must make it over to the opposite side of the table and bounce. The server can therefore add a bit of “spin” to the ball, decreasing the ability of their opponent to predict exactly where the ball will land. Many games have been won by using this method – the server will hit the ball at an angle that will add spin to the ball, and the opponent will miss the chance to return because they were in the wrong spot. It all boils down to being at the right place, at the right time. In the matches between skillful players, it gets harder and harder, coming down to timing, skill, and calmness under pressure.
For the non-competitive, table tennis is also a great sport to play year round, rain or shine. The rules are simple enough that even the beginner can buy an inexpensive paddle set and go play with a few friends. Table tennis is quick to learn, and has caught the attention of millions around the world. Isn’t it time you picked up an inexpensive table tennis set and caught the fever?

I'd go with the first one, Butterfly T21 Europa Net Set because it is a screw on type providing a more sturdy and stable hold for your net. The second one has spring clam. While it might be easier to install, it won't be as tight as the screw on.
Hope that helps
