The 15 titles in 1982 tied the all time record for titles in a season.

In 1987, Lendl and McEnroe were rained out of the Stratton Mountain final,
so neither one got the title. Lendl was #1 and dominant, while McEnroe
failed to win a tournament that year. Would have been another title for
Lendl for sure. Mac lost his other 4 finals that year, to Mayotte, Edberg,
Wilander and Mecir.

Lendl had a 44 match winning streak from October 1981 to February 1982. He
also had a 66 match indoor winning streak from October 1981 to January 1983.

Here are Lendl's doubles titles:

1979: June 24, Berlin Championships, with Carlos Kirmayr.
1980: October 12, Spanish Open, with Steve Denton.
1984: November 11, Benson and Hedges Championships, London, with Andres Gomez.
         (Lendl won the singles over Gomez, also.)
1985: September 15, Mercedes Cup, Stuttgart, with Tomas Smid.
         (Lendl won the singles over Gilbert.)
1986: March 23, Paine Webber Classic, Fort Meyers, with Andres Gomez.
         (Lendl won the singles over Jimmy Connors.)
1987: January 4, South Australian Open, Adelaide, with Bill Scanlon.

Lendl has also made 8 doubles finals, most recently in 1990 (he and Leconte
lost the Queen's Club grass court title to Jeremy Bates and Kevin Curren;
Lendl beat Becker in the singles; and he and Edberg lost the Australian
Indoor in Sydney to Brod Dyke and Peter Lundgren; Becker beat Edberg in the
singles.)
