Till here Lendl was at the top. But sadly the slide started in 1988. There was a resurgence in 1989-1990 but the domination in grand slams was over post 1987.
@@mddistribution30 .. yes agree and hence have mentioned about the resurgence in 89-90. However in 3 years he won only 2 slams post 1987. While from Sept 85 to 87 he won 5 out of the 8 GS played. Also post 1987 no further Masters wins as well. The younger opponents like Becker, Cash and Edberg caught up with him. Same thing happened to Becker and Edberg as well. After winning 6 GS each, they could go no further due to Sampras, Courier and Agassi!
Agree. I remember 1988 was disappointing for Lendl. In 87 he won both the French and US Open. At the time Lendl would have still considered 88 a great year if he had won the U.S. Open. He almost won the U.S. Open in 88 but Wilander was having the best year of his career with 3 slams that year.
@paulc7804 think Lendl was bothered by injuries at crucial points that year. His thigh was badly torn during his semi with Becker at Wimbledon and I think he had shoulder trouble at the Open, which ended up requiring surgery later that year.
@paulc7804 the Grand Slam cup was at the Olympiahalle but the Davis Cup, particularly that famous semi in 89 when Boris beat Agassi from 2 sets down was at the Festhalle
Vielen Dank !!! Tolle nostalgische Momente.
Je suis d'accord avec vous Retrofan
Thank you very much.

Well, he still won 2 Australians in 89 and 90.

@@mddistribution30 I do remember Lendl had that wrap on his thigh during that Wimbledon semi.
Super, wie durch ein Wunder hätten Sie nicht das Final Cincinnati 1988 Wilander-Edberg gehabt?
Lendl was the best tennis player in the 80s
hello doctor have you becker/leconte exhibition Berlin 87 thanck you
Yes, this has to be 1987!
❤❤
judging from this match it appears that Lendl was the net player.
Mmm...never seen this before! Presumably this was an exhibition. Looks like it might be the Munich Festhalle,..am I right lol!!
Looks like it to me as well. Isn't that where the Grand Slam Cup and Davis Cup 89 was held for Germany?
