I considered naming it "SuperBrat and Ivan the Terrible" but decided against it, on the off chance that Mr. McEnroe would read it.

Great work Dude! I think you could either way on ranking the number one player for the era, so while I love JMac, it could just as easily be Lendl, so fair enough.

Lendl would like your original idea for the title of the article.

I watched the 1987 USO QF this morning, and yikes Lendl was not well-liked.

I'd never watched him play and was curious to see why the OP almost named the title SuperBrat and Ivan the Terrible, lol. Both seem pretty entertaining.

Too bad there's not much serve and volley these days.
