Message: [QUOTE="CONN78SEJ, post: 3959763, member: 10604"] Not only did he have one of the best topspin forehand’s I ever saw, but could really top his backhand as well with lots of power. I saw Lendl play for the first time on a hot summer night in 1981 at the DC Bank Classic and knew then that this kid was going places. I sat with in ear shot of Bud Collins and Donald Dell who were doing the play by play and both were in awe of the power of Lendl’s ground strokes on both sides of the ball, even at this early stage in his career.
