Lendl.

What's stupid is they have a time clock instead of a radar read on the serves. Nobody gives a shit how long they play.

Loved them both, but ... at last it was always Ivan!!! ❤

I miss Vitas.

Post graphite era. Pre poly era. Poly era. Three distinct game changing eras. Why baseball forbade metal bats and golf bighead drivers - made records meaningless to compare. College batters used to unbreakable bats get smoked inside in the bigs. Unlimited spin and super light sticks make for today's power attrition tactics. Post graphite pre poly is the yardstick era IMO - Pete, Ivan, Boris, Stephan were the cream with the créme de la créme being Pete

It was a modern forehand

He had a 14oz racket. That'll make your forehand a howitzer.

LEGALIZZARE LE DROGHE E TOGLIERE POTERE ALLE VARIE MAFIE!!!! TANTO CHI DI DROGA SI DROGA!!!! ODIO LE DROGHE !!! PERCIÒ LEGALIZZARE!!!!!! IO DICO I NEURONI IN VIAGGIO PER L'UNIVERSO!!!! PERCIÒ SIAMO FINITI COSÌ IN BASSO !!!!!

Fed's just so beautiful to watch when he is playing. Wow. PeRFect.

Ohhhh Vitas 😭 qepd

After the stroke, his elbow is pointing straight down. Completely wrong

The thumbnail of those two classic one handed backhands 😮🔥

I would say back then, he also had the best backhand

Lendeeeeeel!" 😂

That lendl forehand is a thing of beauty I remember back in the eighties and nineties me having VHS is slowing it down on slow motion copying every backswing how he comes through the ball my forehand was identical 😂

Both players had excellent forehands. However, Lendl was more consistent and very dangerous also on clay, while Sampras had to close the point rapidly. In addition, Sampras strokes, including the forehand, were not explosive on clay.

And these dats everyone forgot that shot...everyone on double backhand...so ugly

Edberg won and went on to lose the Finals to Jim Courier.

エドバーグのセカンドサービスは世界一

Sieht so einfach aus

Lendl absolutely owned the Masters in the 80's. 5 time champion and an incredible 9 consecutive finals from 1980 to 88. In 1989 he lost to Edberg in the semifinal, if he would have won that match he would have made the final for the entire decade of the 80s.

Lendl had macs number. especially in grand slams, Lendl up 7-3 head to head mac always had problems handling Lendl's power

Lendl would have killed all of today's players.

Ivan Lendl. See at my channel, in shorts videos, some backhands (one-handed) with the biggest racket of the world.

"l'unico modo per togliere il mercato alle mafie, è legalizzare...." Frase priva di significato e di senso logico. È come dire:"l'unico modo per evitare brutti voti a scuola, è dare a tutti il 6, a prescindere...." "L'unico modo per evitare gli stupri, è castrare tutti...." 😂😂😂😂 Saviano per piacere, vai a prenderti un caffè dai....

No one ask him to come to net

Is it just me or was the quality of tennis better back then?

Best forehand and backhand in tennis' history...

It's interesting, in the year 2024 Edberg's and Federer's racquets are still familiar but Lendl's racquet looks odd and niche. Just looking at its shape though I feel it would hit nicer than the Pro Staff lol.

15 a 0.3 vorrà dire...che grammo!!!!

Ivan was a _machine_ and the fittest player in professional tennis. If you managed to go 5 sets with him he would just wear you down.

I would say lendl had a bigger first serve than Federer or Djokovic. I remember lendl lost a 5th set tie break to edberg at the US Open later that year in the quarters, a match he was very close to winning

Two unbelievable Champions with two of the best forehands ever...great video!!!❤

Did they use the shit emoji as their scoreboard?

Wow I can see Federer in edberg game

Lendl, while not the most popular player, was the hardest working of his generation. I remember when he first entered the pro scene. At that time his backhand was suspect and his opponents exploited it as a weakness. He then went on to develop one of the most devastating backhands that won him many tournaments.

Ì remember a newspaper article at tge time saying this was yhe strongest quarter-final in years and the winner would most likely go on to win the tournament, obviously it coincided with Jim Couriers rise and he went on to win the event and become the number 1 for that year

Edberg was just one of the best serve and volleyers. Better at that than Sampras even. But Sampras was the stronger player. Not many serve and volley players left.

89 was a good year for McEnroe but Lendl was a Better player than him. 89 was McEnroe's best year After 1985. Anyway if McEnroe would hired a coach for 1986 and years After he could practice more and improve his game. In 1986/87/88 he took 2/3 month breaks from playing, Probably for his private Life.

Always hated the narrative that Lendl was weak at net. Was he Becker, McEnroe, Edberg great at net? No, of course not. But those guys were ATG level net players. Lendl, especially once he hooked up with Roche became easily an above average net player.

One of the very best forehands in tennis- powerful, consistent and very precise.

All my heroes in tennis have 1 handed backhand’s. Ivan’s was the blueprint.

Looks like Edberg lost it looking 2 the highlights, but he won it?

Theres a video somewhere of Laver hitting topspin backhands, i think in the early 1960s. It would be good to see it along side the 3 guys in this video for comparison.

È ovvio quello che dice Roberto, ma la gente è troppo IGNORANTE E PRESUNTUOSA per capire. ✅️

En mis Tiempo ,que Aprendia Tenis Fue en Cancha Rapida,en Ese Tiempo no tenia Los videos Como Ahora,Aprendi el Reves de Lendl Con La Revista Todo Tenis y Foto Por Foto,y Bueno Despues lo practicaba,me Dio Resultado!!

Ivan Lendl the best player of all times!

Strange that Edberg won this one and lost against Courier

Dos grandes y legendarios tenistas, con estilos muy diferentes. Partidos preciosos y visualmente fantasticos. Eran tiempos en que se veía un tenis rico y variado. En el siglo XXI, todos los jugadores(a excepción de Federer), juegan igual. Da igual la pista de tenis que sea.
