    It's funny to see Lendl relaxed and interacting with the other legends. He has such dry humour, so typically Czech...

    Ivan's greatness is so misunderstood...not his game so much as his demeanor. And its the one thing about his approach to the game of tennis, that I tried my best to copy and emulate. He was ALL BUSINESS, ALL THE TIME.. and the way he carried himself was in stark contrast to Johnny Mac and the posse of "interesting people" he always had around him in NYC and the Open. Unfortunately, it wasn't until the near-end of Ivan's career, that I REALLY appreciated his contribution to the game.
    Much like Seles, who basically changed the game all over again, after Steffi did it...Ivan, was THE GUY who ushered in a true-blue all-court game. He was already hard to handle from the baseline..but when he hired Tony Roach and got his serve-volley together, he took tennis to another level. And guys like Agassi and Sampras, had no choice but to improve their serves and net game, in the face of how much better Lendl, got. He was a difference-maker.

    interview très intéressante, très pertinente , 4 anciens champions que j'aimais voir s'affronter car ils avaient 4 personnalités et jeux différents je suis vraiment nostalgique de cette période ....Aujourd'hui le jeu est trop stéréotypé c'est à celui qui frappe le plus fort le plus longtemps sans faire de faute c'est incroyable mais aucun " charme ".Merci à Wilander ce grand champion d'avoir initié cette conversation à 4 joueurs rétros mais tellement exceptionnels en singularité et personnalité !!!

    Gentlemen,
    I just discovered your video meeting. I think it is the best time I had in a long time watching a live show: it is simply fantastic, please keep it up. Maybe it is because I am 66 y.o. and you made me dream in front of a tv screen and now you are better than ever, thank you.

    I haven’t watched tennis since I was a kid and John left the game. I have no interest in people just having giant super formulated rackets and just losing all the touch and angles and everything. And I am really far away from being a sort of tennis expert. However I do a really appreciate excellence and detailed analysis technical analysis of a sport and so even if I don’t really care about tennis anymore I just love listening to these guys think. Thanks for posting.

    Lendl: John was the only guy who i seen who could have a volley at his shoelaces or hard volley and put it away with pace. I never met anyone like that or never played anyone like that. How would that look today , I would love to see that.
    Mac: (to Lendl) How do you think it would've played?
    Lendl: I think you would have trouble with pace because you had trouble with my pace.

    This great interview with 4 legends was 4 years ago, since then Novak at 36 has cemented his no1 position, Rafa won Aus/Fre 2 x times and Roger retired, the younger guys are hoping Novak simply quits in a year or so because only Alcaraz, Sinner are the closest and Novak is 14 to 15 years older, in the days of these 4 ...24 was old, these guys were doing it at 17 (Boris/Mats) the younger players today are mentally weak, I'm sorry to say it.

    Each a totally different character in their own right when they played. Mats was the most boring to watch in his playing days. Tennis has no more characters.
