The quality of the players Lendl had to play against is testament to his greatness. He played the best serve and volleyers to have held a racket in Edberg, McEnroe and Becker. He also played baseliners like Borg, Wilander and later Agassi.
Every player struggles with one player. Becker had trouble with Agassi - a player Lendl dominated.
Even today, we see despite Roger's greatness, he struggles with a few players in Rafa and Murray.
That's the beauty of tennis!

@ulizinho Lendl was a GOD! He would make actual players into pieces!

@sam7666 Another player that Becker had tremendous trouble with was Brad Gilbert. Just as Nadal and Murray are Federer's kryptonite, and Djokovic is Nadal's, Gilbert was Becker's. Gilbert found his weakness, the junk ball, and exploited the hell out of it. He was a mental master. Just a tid - bit I wanted to add to your post.

@bjornsiborgsi Becker said Lendl wanted to kill every player 6-0, 6-0. Becker says for him (Becker), 6-4, 6-4 is good enough
-
@spacyfoil Lendl is second in all-time tour victories (94)
-
@alin1975 Connors claims that Lendl was lucky because he (Connors) and McEnroe were past their prime. Connors is a little spoiled brat (his mother coached him haha) Lendl is my fav player; he was the father of the modern power tennis game, and fitness

I am not sure, what those critics of Lendl want to express by calling Ivan a "chicken".
It is maybe a bit disapoppointing that he only won 8 of 18 GS finals. Anyway, Lendl belongs to me to the Sampras-Federer-Borg category. And in contrast to Borg, he managed to adapt his play to the ever growing speed in. He started with a wooden racket, then layed for long this peculiar Kneissl-Adidas racket and then shiftet do Mizuno midsize.
Just compare the video of his Paris final vs Borg with this one.

I never think Ivan deserved to be considered pavid, but if he leads 10-5 vs Becker in GP, while Boris 5-1 in GS, is not becouse of legs and shots. Legs works even better in longer matches and tournaments. For example Ivan leads 15-7 vs Wilander, but Mats leads 3-2 in GS finals. Do you think Wilander had better shots?
