Superb quality upload, never seen a better 90s Australian open picture quality. Lendl was absolutely awesome off both groundstroke sides and edberg off the backhand and volleys.
The angles, the contrast of styles and the clean hitting. Today it’s all power, 1 dimensional and so many unforced errors. 95%of today’s tennis is unwatchable
Lendl, while not the most popular player, was the hardest working of his generation. I remember when he first entered the pro scene. At that time his backhand was suspect and his opponents exploited it as a weakness. He then went on to develop one of the most devastating backhands that won him many tournaments.
Excellent upload! A wonderful match between Edberg and Lendl in the AO, two of the best players of the early 90s. The match between McEnroe and Becker was also great. It’d be nice to see that upload.
@@willkittwk The decline started in the early 1990s, people were already complaining about the heavy hitters who started defeating the most talented and creative players.
I would say lendl had a bigger first serve than Federer or Djokovic. I remember lendl lost a 5th set tie break to edberg at the US Open later that year in the quarters, a match he was very close to winning
These highlights are incomplete. My video editor had some problems with the last cuts, i don't know wy, as you can see from the final rally. Most of the highlights are Lendl's winners anyway. Backhand's pass, above all.
In his Era, he wouldn't stand a chance against Federer, Nadal, or Novack, or Sampras. Lendl was my idol when he was playing, then Sampras came along. He played very well with the new Emrick racket.
En mis Tiempo ,que Aprendia Tenis Fue en Cancha Rapida,en Ese Tiempo no tenia Los videos Como Ahora,Aprendi el Reves de Lendl Con La Revista Todo Tenis y Foto Por Foto,y Bueno Despues lo practicaba,me Dio Resultado!!
Ì remember a newspaper article at tge time saying this was yhe strongest quarter-final in years and the winner would most likely go on to win the tournament, obviously it coincided with Jim Couriers rise and he went on to win the event and become the number 1 for that year
Ball was faster so they didn't have much time to perfect their stroke. Players nowadays have all the time. And it seems they played with meaning, each point they played to corners. Nowadays they just hit hard in the middle of the court.
Dos grandes y legendarios tenistas, con estilos muy diferentes. Partidos preciosos y visualmente fantasticos. Eran tiempos en que se veía un tenis rico y variado. En el siglo XXI, todos los jugadores(a excepción de Federer), juegan igual. Da igual la pista de tenis que sea.
Edberg was just one of the best serve and volleyers. Better at that than Sampras even. But Sampras was the stronger player. Not many serve and volley players left.
Peccato che ha perso. Comunque, dalle immagini che ho inserito all'inizio e alla fine del video si vede chiaramente che Lendl e Edberg usano la Continental.

@0:05 LOL how is this possible? 2 points in, and we're not even 1 minute into the match? While I will admit, there were way shorter points back then, this is weird. Today, even with two aces, we'd be 2 minutes into the match lol
Pues porque hoy todos los jugadores juegan igual. Tenis fuerza y nada de fantasía. Da igual jugar en cualquier tipo de pistas. Ya no hay especialistas.
I'm not sure why you think it's stupid. so you think not knowing service speeds ruins your enjoyment of a very good match between two great players? Or are you pissed because you're not able to tell or discuss with your mates how weak or slow their serves are compared to todays players?
To me there’s quite a bit of overlap between Edberg and Federer. They’re beautiful movers, attacking POV, very skilled at net (movement and volleys), both were considered gentlemen of the sport, and both have beautiful world-class one handed backhands
Federer used to play very similar to Edberg. Lendl more of a baseliner player. Lendl probably is more similar to how the majority plays today. I think they both would have done well and of course would have different players/style they would had it difficult against. In general serve-volley is not valid today but Edberg also adepted his style. Also take into account that Edberg had an advantage against Lendl in most wins when they played. So his serve-volley did well against baseline players.
If these two had todays racquets, not so. These two had ALL the shots that modern players have, and then some more. You will see any of the best points from the Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era which have been actually done in the past, even by these two. Case in point: 4:07, 7:42, tactics also employed by Federer.

Look Australian Open Final 1995 Agassi vs Sampras. A lot better than this one!
Strange that Edborg won this one and lost against Courier.
Edberg’s backhand is just perfect
The thumbnail of those two classic one handed backhands 😮🔥
This is so much better to watch than modern day tennis.
Totalmente deacuerdo. Esto si era jugar al tenis 👍
The angles, the contrast of styles and the clean hitting. Today it’s all power, 1 dimensional and so many unforced errors. 95%of today’s tennis is unwatchable
There is no colours in todays tennis. Players are like robots. All same style... So boring. Soon better see robots play
Edberg Lendl, edberg wilander, lendl becker, becker edberg... all these combo duels were great to watch.
Compare the beautiful style of these guys vs Nadal’s awful style, ending his swing with the racket behind his back!
Two of the very best players....both are my childhood heroes all time

At that time his backhand was suspect and his opponents exploited it as a weakness. He then went on to develop one of the most devastating backhands that won him many tournaments.
Kind of sounds like Federer with this backhand in 2017!
Another weakness was mentally...had a reputation for choking away majors....worked on his mental side too... became a winning machine
@@peteanderson4395 Lendl was a good player, but he always lost to Becker I remember
@@ThomasChristensen-bp2wx in the slams but was a. 11-9 head to head in his favour overall
Lendl, Connors, McEnroe...not nice guys, Lendl was the worst.

Is it just me or was the quality of tennis better back then?
More diverse skills back then. Now it's all grunting and baseline rallies 😢

@@djo-dji6018 yeah it's like if they let the MLB hitters use aluminum bats and moved in the fences.

These highlights made Lendl look like he kicked Edbergs butt, but it was Edberg that won the match in the end.

@@matteodinenno That explains it, nice highlights by the way, nothing more glorious than one handed backhand winners!
Lendl would have killed all of today's players.
I have that match on a VHS tape. Time for restoration.
Looks like Edberg lost it looking 2 the highlights, but he won it?
Yes, Edberg won this match
Yes
Ivan Lendl the best player of all times!
In his Era, he wouldn't stand a chance against Federer, Nadal, or Novack, or Sampras. Lendl was my idol when he was playing, then Sampras came along. He played very well with the new Emrick racket.
@@jonm2522 Lendl lost in close matches agains Sampras
??? From '90 -'93 he was 3 and 3 vs. Sampras.@@jonm2522

Loved them both, but ... at last it was always Ivan!!! ❤
Edberg won and went on to lose the Finals to Jim Courier.

エドバーグのセカンドサービスは世界一

Sampras had a devastating overhead.
Pistol Pete had a superior serve, probably the best the game has seen...
Sampras’ second serve was killing.
Strange that Edberg won this one and lost against Courier
Grande Ivan. Quel giorno si vede proprio che era centrato e in palla.
Peccato che ha perso. Comunque, dalle immagini che ho inserito all'inizio e alla fine del video si vede chiaramente che Lendl e Edberg usano la Continental.

Because they just get on with the next point. In today’s game they hit an ace and then spend 25 seconds toweling off or talking to their coaches box.
Did they use the shit emoji as their scoreboard?
LoL ! Thats the map of Australia if you look closely.
What's stupid is they have a time clock instead of a radar read on the serves. Nobody gives a shit how long they play.
I'm not sure why you think it's stupid. so you think not knowing service speeds ruins your enjoyment of a very good match between two great players? Or are you pissed because you're not able to tell or discuss with your mates how weak or slow their serves are compared to todays players?
@@capricornmagic63 the last one. Lol I'm really curious how fast guys like players from Conners and McEnroe on up actually hit their first serves.
Wow I can see Federer in edberg game
