Lendl was the greatest player ever, used the small headed racquet against some of the best players tennis has seen in Edberg, Becker etc and pantsed them quite often. Brilliant player.
Actually he came out even against them. Edberg had a 14-13 record over him and he had an 11-10 record over Becker.
Yep so quite often, not all the time.
I remember watching a semi-final Lendl vs Edberg Aus Open quite some time ago and I was honestly the only person in the whole stadium going for Lendl. Edberg served for the match in the fourth set but Lendl broke back and won the fifth was so good giving it to everyone in the stadium as he clawed his way back. Unfortunately he lost the final in four sets to Becker from memory.
TBH I don't watch much tennis nowadays (not like i used to) so I'm not the best judge of today's players.
