Philadelphia 1991 F Lendl vs. Sampras

Thanks for publishing it.

Merci pour le partage. Une des dernières grandes victoires de Lendl. A cette époque, pas beaucoup de joueurs pour rester dans le TOP5 à 30 ans. Une façon de rappeler à l'étoile montante Pete Sampras qu'il fallait encore compter sur lui. Quel Champion!

This is exactly moment lendls student became the master. Lendl never beta Sampras again

2 of the all-time greats. It seems weird having watched both of them in their prime, knowing this is already 33 years old !

Wonderful Picture Quality , thanks so much

I was at this match with 3 friends.

I remember watching this entire match , I live 15 minutes from where the spectrum was

Old Lendl beats a prime Sampras. Just like Old Novak beats Carlos.

Pete’s game is so brilliant… GOAT of beauty

Two legends...

Of the two players, the only one who would have been a champion nowadays is Lendl... Sampras strokes were great but not precise enough for today's game.

Great upload!!!

Insane quality

Today players on TV will kick these guys’ butts.

..viva Lendl

Two absolute legends when tennis was not about doping

Lendl didn’t shake hands with the Ump.

Great upload I was really looking forward to !!

I could build the perfect player with these two guys:
- Serve: Sampras
- Return: Lendl
- Forehand: Lendl / running forehand Sampras
- Backhand: topspin Lendl / slice Sampras
- Passing shot: Lendl
- Lob: Lendl
- Drop shot: forehand Lendl / backhand Sampras
- Volley / Serve-Volley: Sampras
- Overhead: Sampras
- Endurance: Lendl
- Speed: Sampras
- Atheticism: Sampras
- Footwork: clay Lendl / hard & grass Sampras
- Strategy: clay, indoor & medium speed hard Lendl / fast hard & grass Sampras
- Mental strength: Sampras
- Work ethics: Lendl

Arguably, Lendl’s last great match. His career declined after this.

Can anyone tell me why Ivan returned in 91 to his old heavy adidas racquet after he played in 90 with this new one

I remember watching this match live. Not a lot of experts were picking Lendl to win this match even though Lendl was probably the best indoors player of the past 10 years.

Ivan Lendl the tennis master

Lendl finished off with 3 (!) aces in a row. Against Sampras. Kind of shows, why he was considered one of the mentally strongest players ever.

If Sampras Prostaff is 85...Lendl must be using like a 65.

Ivan is the father of modern tennis, his forehead is second to none

Sampras’s backhand is the better shot, what is he talking about?

Lendl is first GOAT of modern tennis; Sampras the 2nd GOAT of modern tennis; and Federer is the third and the last one so far.

Stunning performance by Lendl against the young gun Sampras, Lendl was such a great indoor/carpet player... and those blistering and accurate shots with that little racquet were outstanding! 👏👏👏

The quality of this post is fabulous! So many of these older indoor matches with the odd color courts make it hard to see the ball usually, but this is superb.

Is it just me or does Pete and Ivan have similar looking forehands?

Good job Mr. Lendl!!!

Djokovic beats Sampras, too consistent and too fast in defence.
