Lendl led Stich 6-1 in H2H. Stich led Sampras 5-4.

How the hell did this happen? Lendl was already old by the Stich rose
into the limelight. And yet he beat him 6 times losing only in 1993
when Lendl was clearly not a full time player. And Stich gave a hell
lot of trouble to Sampras, just like Richard Krajicek.

It seems Sampras had trouble against talented big servers like Stich/
Krajicek.

How the hell did this happen? Lendl plays in 19 slam finals and only
won 7 slams, while Sampras plays in 18 slam finals walking away with
14 champions. It seems that Lendl must have been really consistent
and able to maintain his form for a good period of time. However,
poor Lendl couldn't beat the top player if they played to there top
ability, everybody knows Lendl level was high but it always had a
period where he would level off and didn't have the ability to turn on
another gear. I would probably just stick with the idea that lendl
was a choke artist and Sampras more so then not seal the deal
