Lendl could not win on grass, but could play well on the hardcourt, and was
excellent on clay. Sampras plays well on grass and hardcourts, but may never
win the French. He seems to do better in the 3 set clay tournaments. I saw
him win in Atlanta, but he may not have the stamina to play 5 set matches on
clay and win the French.
This all makes Agassi's feat more impressive. The two mentioned above are 2
of the most *** players ever.

Certainly the CONDITION of the clay makes the nature of the game
unpredictable. It can be very slow to fast depending on how much moisture
is in the dirt. Perhaps that is what was meant.
Give me the US Open, where you see all around tennis and the points are
actually constructed and played out. That is what puts the e***ment
into a tennis match.

People do have tendency to forget that Lendl infact was not
so bad on grass at all. He was twice in the wimbledon final and
atleast 4 other times in the semis. Also he has one grasscourt-
title from queens (defeated Becker in the final).
He just were that much better on other surfaces so his achie-
ments on grass do look little bland.
He had some incredible winning-streak on indoors before Becker
surpassed him as the best indoor-player. So he clearly could
play on fast surfaces. Too bad he started to consentrate on grass
couple of years too late.
Anyway Lendl was the first modern-era tennis player whose
game would still be decent if not great in today's standards.
