G.O.A.T.
There final H2H record was 10-6 in favour of Stich who had a relatively short career but big runs.
Their Slam meetings were paltry, only 2 with Stich winning both one at Wimbledon and the French. They had 7 Masters meetings which Edberg lead 5-2.
Surface Tally
Hard: 5-1 Edberg
Clay: 5-1 Stich
Carpet: 3-0 Stich
They were just 2 years apart in age.
Obviously the surface disparity with carpet favouring Stich and their one grass meeting tips the H2H however from 91 Hamburg to 93 Stockholm, Stich won 7 of 8 meetings spread across 1 hard, 1 grass, 2 carpet and 3 clay (of which Edberg won 1). The scores for these matches:
Hamburg: 6-2, 7-6 Stich
Wimbledon: 4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 7-6 Stich
Hamburg: 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 Edberg
Slam Cup: 7-6, 6-7, 8-6 Stich
Team Cup: 6-2, 6-0 Stich
Davis Cup: 6-1, 6-1 Stich
Basel: 6-4, 6-7. 6-3, 6-2 Stich (Only hard court win)
Stockholm: 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 Stich
Stich also had a good H2H against Sampras (5-4), Courier (7-5), Ivanisevic (5-2), Krajicek (8-6 but Richard won their last 3 meetings out of Stich's prime), Bruguera (5-3 which includes 5 consecutive wins)
Agassi was 6-0 only losing 2 of 17 sets. While Lendl, albeit a level above Agassi at the time was 6-1.
I think clearly he had a harder time with base-liners.
