what's with all the one handed backhands

[napajedlacek]

Lendl shouted....JO...in Czech in the end ..

means yes :-)

nice to see him that young..he was banned completely in his home country ...no news,not in papers ,nothing !

[AXOU2203]

For sure Clerc at the Net was hard to take for Mc...

Lendl's forehand was very good but he did have a great backhand. I don't know why you are making fun of him, he was a bad ass after he got mentally tough and learned to win. FREAK! Lendl is pimp!

[biondipepe]

I always love Clerc's game. Don't you have any more video of JL Clerc to post?

[teflonmagnet]

clerc had sweet strokes and has a lifetime edge on mcenroe.

[HeavyMetalZen]

He still had a big forehand, even back when power tennis was not that big!
