So nice to see Lendl so relaxed and the calmness in his life can be seen. God bless him.

Ivan’s honesty… so refreshing

Ivan, I was a fan of you when you were ruling the tennis world in the 80’s and today I’m even a bigger fan

Shame he never won Wimbledon..... brilliant player!!

Lendl is imo the father of modern tennis. Staying back and pounding groundstrokes, diet and training, changing racquets with new balls etc. Are all part of today's game.

If I recall correctly, he had a very strict diet, unusual for the time. Guess he is not on that diet any more.

Ivan is actually a really funny guy!

Great Men of Great Tennis.

So great to see these great players (all of them) joking and having a good time.

Meravigliosi giocatori. Ivan e Pat, grandissimi!

Ivan is the rain man of tennis stats. Is there anything he doesn't recall!

So great the conversation between Wilander, Lendl, Corretja and the Famous Pat Cash..

Ivan Lendl should have a special job in the Tour of Tennis today. "Director of Walking Lexicon":) Unbeliveble man!

I don't get it

They are all tennis greats; even Corretja!

Absoltute fan of Ivan, I really appreciate that he recognizes that he was lucky in the USO semi-final in 1984. It was really difficult for him to play versus Pat Cash. Mats had less difficulties except on the british grass. Tennis was sometimes really amazing...

it;s the other way round, Mats had more difficulties against Cash's game than what Ivan Lendl did. Also Mats was wrong. He lost to Ivan in 1982 USO forth round. Cash defeated Wilander in 1984 USO in 4 sets in the Round of 16s.

He was lucky to win that one point. It's not luck that gets you anywhere near a Slam Final though.

Legend!

6-3 in the fifth McEnroe over Connors in the semifinal on that same day.

oooh i remember !! what a match it was !! :))

Very good video!

So much has changed in 35 years leading up to this. Ivan has filled out and has also gained a sense of humor. 😊

i remember super saturday

Nice cameo by Pat Cash.

Ivan changed a lot physically vs Mats will never ever it seems !

great, is there a part two with Cashy in the studio somewhere

someone upload Lendl's 1983 WCT/DALLAS final versus John McEnroe, as in the whole final.

i remember seeing lendl at my car as i was leaving the final he played at la quinta agfainst connors. He looked like he was locked out and waiting to get in his car to leave.. 1982 ....

wasn't there the mens senior finals to begin, Newcombe and Smith i think, which was also 3 sets, which pushed back the start of Lendl and Cash? that was the last time they had senior/invitational matches on stadium court. but, yeah, that was a historic day. too bad the wrong guy won on sunday.

82-3...hows them for Apples !!!! the RIGHT guy won alright, and very easily.

Lendl: "Alex... Alex! Where did you find him?"

Sour grapes Cashy.

And guess who was beating Willander in quarter-final US Open 1984 ? No, It's not Lendl.... That was Pat Cash !

Interesting that Mats forgot he actually lost to Cash in the 1984 QF.. Lendl beat Gomez to reach the SF. Love Cash but he does come off a bit pissy here even if he is joking. I know he did not like Lendl, but the past is the past. I’d like to see the rest of this interview

Ivan likes to eat!

Lol so many legends.....cash and wilander still look great but corretja has aged badly

Luck has absolutely nothing to do with it.
