Boris Becker's coach Gunther Bosch wrote a book about Becker called Boris in 1986. I no longer have it, but I remember Bosch describing Lendl as so fast he could keep up with the world's fastest sprinters over the first few metres. He said that Wilander was not as fast as this but like an arrow compared to Boris. I get the impression that Bosch thought Lendl was the fastest player in the world. Yet Lendl isn't remembered as being outstandingly quick. Was he really as fast as Bosch says? Was he faster than Wilander? Was he faster than Cash, Edberg, Mecir, and Noah? I know Lendl was fast but I think Bosch was over stating Lendl's speed.
