It's such a ludicrous statement by Nick. Give Nadal a wooden racket with old strings and he couldn't hit his bullwhip forehead, it would literally be impossible. Give prime Sampras a newer racket and the latest strings and he would be the #1 player in the world last year routinely beating the top players of the game except maybe Djokovic.
Not to mention the homogenizing of the surfaces from years past. Wimbledon plays very differently now than in the 90s.
