Ivan Lendl (Czech pronunciation: ['?van 'l?ndl?]; born March 7, 1960) is a retired Czech-American professional tennis player.
He was the world No.
1 for 270 weeks in the 1980s and finished his career with 94 singles titles.
At the majors he won eight titles and was runner-up a record 11 times.
He also won seven year-end championships. Lendl pioneered a new style of tennis; his game was built around his forehand, hit hard with heavy topspin, and his success is cited as a primary influence in popularizing the currently common playing style of aggressive baseline power tennis.
After retirement he became a tennis coach of multiple players, and has helped Andy Murray win three major titles and reach the No.
1 ranking.
