IVAN LENDL has finally sold his incredible ten-bedroom luxury mansion, which boasts its own tennis court, swimming pool and horse paddock.
Lendl, 63, made his fortune as one of the greatest tennis players of his generation.
The Czech-born ace collected a whopping £16.8 million in prize money during his illustrious 16-year professional career.
That included 270 weeks as world number 1, winning eight Grand Slams, 94 titles and the Davis Cup before coaching Andy Murray to his three major victories.
Lendl put his enchanting 445-acre Connecticut estate on the market in early 2021.
And the tennis Hall of Famer handed over the keys to the new owners last Thursday after a $12 million (£9.5 million) sale.
As reported by CT Insiderwhich breaks the record for the most expensive home sold in Litchfield County.
The external path was built in 1992 for Lendl and his wife Samantha, who have five daughters, by architect Allan Greenberg.
It has no fewer than 20 rooms, including ten bedrooms with 15 bathrooms and the master bedroom has not one but two walk-in closets.
There are also a host of fireplaces, a library, a chef's eat-in kitchen, a butler's pantry, a wine cellar and even a trophy room in the gigantic three-storey stone property at the end of a huge long driveway.

Outside, the standout features keep coming: the swimming pool, pond, newly constructed tennis court, sauna and gym with changing rooms – plus an office above the two garages that can accommodate eight vehicles.
To top it all off, there is even a stable on the property with six stables overlooking the Connecticut hills.
And it's so big that the parcel actually spreads across the border into both the Goshen and Cornwall regions of the state.
Real estate agent Elyse Harney Morris said: “The Lendls [were] looking for the ideal location with a mix of open land that they could immediately enjoy, and woodland. I think they did a really good job finding this.
“It was truly a place where you could live, work and play in a very private environment in Litchfield County.
“Something like that is once in a lifetime.”
