RF forehand is more of wrist rotation and hit the ball a little farther from the body.. lendl has a better follow through... have you seen Petr Korda's forehand?.. i'd say one of the best

[matteodinenno]

I do think so and i'd say the Petr Korda's forehand follow through was one of the most similar to Lendl's one.

@matteodinenno it's pretty obvious that players use bigger swipes now cuz rackets are lighter and strings are tighter (= less power).

the ball flies off those older rackets. that's why players had shorter more controlled strokes back then.

btw you should retitle this vid "a comparison of roger federer and ivan lendl" so that people don't wanna sodomize you with a tennis racket

[matteodinenno]

Lendl didn't use the modern "windshield wiper" follow-through because he didn't need it, hitting more flat.  Look at my last post: "Ivan Lendl vs Roger Federer: The Technique (Promo)".

@jpelegante si tienes razon, pero si es feo que federer con la tecnica tan privilegiada que tiene no pueda hacerle frente al juego fisico de nadal, yo creo que federer le tiene miedo y la verdad es una pena, porque la gente a la larga no lo recordara como el mejor de la historia,sino como el eterno "hijo" de nadal. asi que nada le sirve tener esos records si durante todo este tiempo la paternidad de nadal sobre el es absoluta,lastima porque yo de verdad pense que el seria el mejor!

[jpelegante]

@LilitaEsperanza07 El historial negativo que tiene con Nadal es obvio, Nadal está hecho para ganarle a Federer y ya se convirtió -desde hacce rato- en algo puramente mental. Pero una mente débil es otra cosa, una mente débil no gana 16 mayors, no dura 234 semanas seguidas como número 1, ni alcanza 23 semis seguidas de Mayors.

lendl es mejor que roger en todo, e igual estoy conciente de que federer no puede ser el mejor tenista del la historia debido a su historial tan negativo vs nadal, pero fuera de eso,de algo si estoy segura, federer posee el tenis mas elegante y bonito de la historia, tiene un talento nunca visto y una naturalidad y tecnica que rayan en la genialidad,y si bien es cierto que su mente es debil, y por ese defecto no podra ser el mejor de la historia nunca, yo se que por lo menos en tecnica si lo es

[sskgrs]

No, I think Lendl has the best ground strokes both forehand and backhand.

@sultanabran1 They changed the grass in 2001. On one hand the grass lasts longer now, on the other the type of grass and what it did to the ground slows down the ball.

Can you make Lendl vs Sampras? I think those 2 have similar style than roger.

@xquisitaz

I said in terms of elegance federer is better, but I know lendl forehand was one of the best!

[xquisitaz]

@MegaKtulu Have you ever seen Lendl play in person? You most definitely would not be saying that if you did. I love Federer, he's a great person and player but Ivan was a legend for a great reason and had the most powerful forehand of all time.

[MegaKtulu]

This is a great video, can't understand all the stupid dislikes.

Federer shots are pure art, in terms of grace and elegance they are way better than Lendl's.

That match never happened because in 2001 roger had other racquet
