It’s a Lendl clinic. Absolutely at his peak prowess in this match. Took some time for him to get into the groove but once he got into the zone Noah looked liked an amateur.
Lendl still a major force in 1990. He also was in 1991 - it's a shame his back started giving him problems around '91 or '92 - if he'd been fully fit I think he would have notched up a couple more slams. An all time great.
Lendl lost so many key grand slam matches in his career and especially during his peak between 1987 and 1990, it’s unreal: Wimbledon 87, US Open 88, French Open 89, Wimbledon 89. He won 0 Grand Slams in 1988 and for me that loss to Chang at the 89 French (Lendl would have easily won that year with the remaining draw) shattered his confidence for the rest of his career.
No, already 1990 he had luck to win AO due to Edberg‘s injury. His time was over and with Sampras and Agassi a new generation was waking up that would have caused him problems. But he could have won some non-Slam tournaments and have had some deeper runs at Grand Slams.
Lendl was still a force to be reckoned with post Chang. That loss did not unhinge him, he actually handled it reasonably well. One of the very few times where I have seen a chair ump interfere with a match was when Lendl was manhandling Becker at Wimbledon in '89, possibly costing him the match. Not what one would expect from a player who had been "shattered". Like it or not Lendl is one of the all-time greats. Not for nothing is he called the father of modern tennis. Cheers!@@hymansahak181

Matchups are about surface and style Wimbledon: was not his best surface. Even then he made SF a staggering 6 x and won Queens French: lost to Mats in 88, who won 3 slams that year. Chang was a fluke: only slam he won, and he also beat Edberg in final AO: won 89,90 US open: went to 8 straight finals, winning 3
What a pity that Noah didn' t get the career he'd perhaps deserved. Unfortunately, despite his great athletism, his tennis kept very simple and didn' t evolve/improve too much (unlike, other players of the decade, like Becker, Edberg, Wilander, Lendl himself)
Dauerte es nicht sogar 1 Std. 48 Minuten...Naja egal, aber es war immerhin trotzdem etwas länger als die 82 Minuten zwischen Edberg und Wilander. War sowieso irgendwie ein komisches Turnier, die Australian Open 1990. Sehr viele einseitige Matches und das Finale dann auch noch ein Abbruch-Sieg für Lendl. Und John McEnroe als vielleicht das Zugpferd des Turniers wurde gegen Pernfors im Achtelfinale im 4. Satz disqualifiziert. Manche Experten sagten, er hätte damals durchaus eine Chance auf den Turniersieg gehabt.

real execution
Wonderful reminder of the 90's, thanks.
Lendl was using a very difficult racquet
Noah was using the mythical Yamaha Secret 04
A weapon of mass destruction

When AO wasn't woke

I thought he could be like Arthur Ashe
I Googled Noah's Ark, and ended up here. Noah is here, but where is his Ark?
The warm up is club player level
„Wird sicherlich länger dauern. Dafür braucht man kein Prophet zu sein.“😂 1 Std 40 min!
