Maybe this gave Pete some comfort, because Boris gave him nightmares indoors from 95-96.
I think Boris was a bit overrated on carpet. Very good, but only one masters cup in the late 80s. Kind of pales in comparison to Lendl's nine consecutive masters cup finals in a row.
Nalby had one hell of a indoor season in 2007, the best one any player has had in the last year :shrug:
the last two TMS (specially Paris) are usually either tanking-land or injury-fatigue-withdrawal-land and people aren't really consistent except for Fat Dave
Why don't you do some research yourself? Lendl made the TMC final 8 times in a row, when it was actually fast, not like now. Carpet and hardcourt play differently.
TRUE! If we are talking EVER, then Gonzales, Rosewall, Laver, Sampras, Becker, Lendl, McEnroe. Nalbandian is the Mary Pierce of the Men's forum. Great on rare occasions, but very inconsistant and highly overrated here. SORRY!
If you say BEST EVER, one has to include Gonzalez, Rosewall and Laver in that they played most of their Pro matches indoors. Sampras,Lendl and Becker were also great indoor players. No doubt Roger and Rafa are too, but they don't play that many matches indoors.

Interestingly, Murray has a better win-loss ratio indoors than Federer, Sampras and Becker. Still inferior to Lendl though.
Yeah I know indoor surfaces are very different now than they used to be and this doesn't really say a lot but it's interesting none the less. Murray's record under a roof is insanely good, I think people forget that he has won 7 of his 11 tournaments indoors.
With the masters being indoors in London for atleast the next 3 years, it looks likely that murray might get a good record going in it.
Make of that as you will. I personally would rank Lendl the best for his masters record. Sampras win-loss ratio is fairly low as I expected, he always does quite poor in these kind of stats as he tended to peak for big tournaments and have fairly average years outside of them.
He has won 1 Masters event indoors, apart from Söderling the others are multiple winners of Masters events or the end of season championships.
It's like lets throw Murray in there, when he isn't in the top 10 and it's too early at this moment to think that.
