Lendl's passing shots from baseline especially from his backhand is a treat to watch and by far the best in the history of tennis.
-
That was the period when Becker opened his mouth like a fish several times, also during interviews until his management stopped him; he stood under enormous pressure. Becker´s backhand was crap in comparison to todays players and the slice duells on hartcourt are quite unusual. :)

Becker always was the master of the net cord. He owes the 1989 U.S Open to one!!

The wrong winner :( Ivan Lendl - my hero!

This match was amazing; I remember watching it as a kid! One question: Why did you edit out the point at 5-5 in the final set tiebreaker? It was the point on Lendl's serve that gave Becker match point; I'm just wondering what happened in that point to give Boris a chance to serve it out?

@theatlantean2 , yeah you're so right. Lendl is the Godfather of Power Tennis. He's so underrated and i feel he doesn't get the respect he deserves. He made it to the USA open finals 8 straight years which is amazing. He 's a top ten of all time in my view.

The best (not hardest) forehands of all-time: Lendl, Courier, Agassi, Federer, F. Gonzalez, Becker, Laver, E. Vines, Moya, Nadal, Verdasco, Phillippoussis. I'm probably leaving a few out, but these come to mind when I think of the best forehands. It's hard to rank these guys, but I would probably fear Nadal or Federer's the most if I had to face any of them. Those would be the two who I wouldn't want any part of. Beauty mate.

@juandi2570 After Ivan Lendl was way past his prime, Jim Courier (the #1 player in the world and owner of the biggest forehand in the game) was asked if he thought anyone in the game had a forehand even close to the size of Jim's. His response was that Lend's forehand was far better, bigger, and heavier. Years later, Courier would continue to say that Lendl's forehand was the best he'd ever faced, including the likes of Becker, Agassi, Sampras, Safin, etc.

@theatlantean2 I agree.

What's bad about having the same tennis court as at the us open?

I really admire Lendl, he's the godfather of power tenis. Can you imagine Lendl with today's advanced strings and raquet technology, he'd be feared.................................
