Ivan Lendl
(
Czech pronunciation:
[ˈɪvan ˈlɛndl̩]
; born March 7, 1960) is a former professional
tennis
player from
Czechoslovakia
who later obtained
American
citizenship. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
[3]
Lendl was ranked
world No. 1
for 270 weeks and won 94 singles titles. He won eight
major
singles titles and was runner-up a joint record 11 times (tied with
Roger Federer
and
Novak Djokovic
), making him the first man to contest 19 major finals. Lendl also contested a record eight consecutive
US Open
finals, and won seven
year-end championships
.
Lendl is the only male player in professional tennis history to have a match winning percentage of over 90% in five different years (1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1989).
[4]
He also had a comfortable head-to-head winning record against his biggest rivals, including a 21-15
record
(7-3 in major matches) against
John McEnroe
,
[5]
a 22-13
record
(4-3 in major matches) against
Jimmy Connors
,
[6]
and a 15-7
record
(5-4 in major matches) against
Mats Wilander
.
[7]
Lendl's dominance of his era was most evident at the
year-end championships
, which feature the eight best-ranked singles players. He holds a win-loss record at the event of 39-10,
[8]
having contested the final an extraordinary nine consecutive times. His nine consecutive appearances in the final and three consecutive titles are records.
[8]
Commonly referred to as the 'Father Of The Modern Game' and 'The Father Of The Inside Out Forehand',
[9]
Lendl pioneered a new style of tennis; his game was built around his
forehand
, hit hard and flat, and his success is cited as a primary influence in popularizing the now-common playing style of aggressive baseline power tennis.
[10]
[11]
After retirement, he became a tennis coach for several players; in particular, he helped
Andy Murray
win three major titles and reach the world No. 1 ranking.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
