@@jchan810 faster, but not better. Guga could return better with his and was more consistent and accurate. Actually, mine was the best, except when I hit it over the fence of course. Guga was definitely the best of the rest. Laver with a small racket.

Epic match. Russell really put the already 2 time French Open champion.Gustavo Kuerten to work in this instant classic here. Kuerten winning his 3rd and final French Open title, his 3rd in just five years, with Moya and Agassi filling in the gap in 1998 and 1999 respectively, and each of these 2 winning their only French Open, Agassi, exactly 10 years after Michael Chang. Russel sure gave the crowd their money's worth here in 2001, the last French Open before 9/11. The years have gone fast, I forgotten just how close Russell came here to dethroning Kuerten, the 1997, 2000 and 2001 French Open winner and easily a Hall of Fame athlete. Russell was good when he was.
Guga literally rose from the ashes!! What a mental and physical match that was, Russel displayed his best tennis with close to 0 unforced errors. Impressive stuff from both of them! Wish I could rewatch it in HD.
12:43 A torcida chegou em massa no estádio quando Guga estava para perder o jogo 5-2 no terceiro set , ele ganhou um ânimo com a torcida e passou a acreditar foi ali a grande virada, famosa partida que salva um match points e desenha o coração no saibro e depois se sagra campeão de Roland garros novamente.
Guga Ídolo !!! As novas gerações precisam ver ele jogando pra entender a dimensão de seus feitos. Orgulho nacional que dificilmente será igualado algum dia.

Few to know this but that was the first heart drawing before the famous one at the final. It's so emotional even after so many years. Talk about a player with huge character and personality!
Guy was 2 sets down, serving 2x5 in the third. Confirmed his service, then had to break Russel, who had a match point serving 40x30. The rest is history. I’m mesmerized by Kuerten’s stillness. It’s at Nadal or Djokovic stillness level, wasn’t it?
Kuerten filled with injuries, months away from retirement best prime Fed. We can speculate how great he is if not for injuries but… 3 RG, no1, ATP finals beating Agassi Sampras aint bad at all.
Thanks for the summary of this classic match. I ask Roland Garros and the French Tennis Federation to post this full match in one of their UA-cam channels. Thanks.
Kuerten did play Federer at the FO in 2004 with Kuerten (five years older than Federer) winning in straight sets. Maybe that gives you an indication of how a hypothetical Kuerten/Nadal match would go.
There is no way even peak Guga could beat Nadal, I think 2017 Final was the peak Nadal among 13 crowns. Winning 5times on local tournament is not easy task, however 13 times beating Federer, Novak, Wawrinka will give no other description. Depth, spin, and determinations are far beyond what Guga possesed.
@@hyunhosuh9912 I disagree, i think Nadal plays against one of, if not the worst clay court gen of all time. U cant compare the post 2005 gen with players like Kuerten, Muster, Chang, Kafelknikov, Bruguera, Moya, Ferrero, Agassi, Courier, Gomez, to name only champions. I could make an even bigger list with excelent clay players that didnt won RG. Roger is good on clay, not great, Novak the same and the others dont even deserve to be compared with those names. Thats my view on why Nadal got 13 titles: facing a real weak gen of clay court players.
Unfortunately, Guga has never reached his full potential, at the end of 2001 he started with a chronic hip injury which made him forfeit tournaments and decrease performance over the next years. In 2004 he attempted a last try doing a hip surgery (similar to Andy Murray surgery), but he could not never recover his old level of 99-00-01. Officially Guga retired in 2008 after a second surgery in the hips, but in fact, 2001 was his last year playing healthy.
I wonder how close that forehand that Guga hit on match point that looked to be on the back of the line or out was. It was so close. That was a potential life changing moment for Mike a Russell, literally centimeters away from a different life.
To hit the line when down match points... The story says that Guga sent Russell Thank You flowers. This one match balanced Russell's books for a year or two.
Hello, thanks for these Roland Garros Classics. When do they post this Kuerten vs Russel match and other complete Guga matches at Roland Garros from the years 2000 and 2001? I ask this of the French Tennis Federation, as well as the organizers of the Roland Garros Tournament. Guga has already been honored but he needs this tribute on your UA-cam channels. Thank you.
c est fou cette balle de match a 14 mn18 . et finalement tu perds .. .. c est la que tu te dis a quoi ca tient la vie?? ... a 1 point ! ... la victoire... la carriere ... l argent ...c est dingue ... et michael russell on n en a jamais entendu parler aprés... alors qu il faisait un exploit monumental il etait 120eme mondial c hallucinant
Total Package: 1) Nadal 2) Borg Thats for sure. But Prime for Prime, i am not sure if Borg really would beat Kuerten. Yes Borg von the FO 6 times, but remember Kuerten won it 3 times at the age of 20, 23 and 24, and shortly after his 25th birthday he had a hip injury and never recovered from it, at least not for Best of 5 tournaments. If Guga would have been fit until 2005, i am very sure he would have done well in the FO 2002, 2003 and 2004. He had Ferrero´s number (winner 2003), and guys like A. Costa (winner 2002) and Gaudio (winner 2004) would not be the favorite against him. So Kuerten could also have won the FO 6 times. And Prime for Prime i would say he would be the best opponent Nadal would ever faced, better then Federer, Djokovic, Wawrinka, Thiem, Söderling, Puerta, Ferrer, etc.

@@vivi158 Again. Thiem's follow-through was too short!
One of the greatest comebacks of all time without a doubt
Feel sorry for Russell
For the first 3 sets he played the best tennis of his life

Guga showed his heart during the match and afterwards. Beautiful.
has anybody else been waiting years for this match to be uploaded in decent quality and with a scoreboard?

Me. As a Brazilian who started to love tennis with Kuerten, every game of him interests me hehe
Unbelievable match
Awesome match, great memories.

Guga was so fun to watch. I love his one handed backhand, it is an absolute thing of beauty. What a great comeback!
Agreed. Wawrinka, Federer, him, korda, muster. These are probably best single handed backhands of all times.
Guga literally rose from the ashes!! What a mental and physical match that was, Russel displayed his best tennis with close to 0 unforced errors. Impressive stuff from both of them! Wish I could rewatch it in HD.

I know who won, but my heart is pounding watching Guga with a matchpoint down. Great match!

by all accounts, a wonderful human being and a pretty darn good tennis player.
This is gold. Thank you so much Roland Garros! Please upload a video featuring Kuerten's best backhands 🤝😌
Guga Kuerten gigante!!!! Essa foi na raça... Acreditar até o final!!! Lição
What a match, most amazing crownd reaction that I ever seem on the last point. Beautifull conection between Guga and the French open!! Guga forever!!

Saudades desse backhand 🇧🇷!
A gente sabe que nosso guga ganhou, mas toda vez que assisto o matchpoint contra o guga o coração dá aquela aceleradinha kkkk
michael russel gave a huge fight and played great tennis , i always admired this man for his fighting spirit and sportsmanship
Champions mindset. Strong mind. Unshaken focus. More than other qualities, these are what legends are made.
Ahhh thanks for the Guga matches! ❤️🇧🇷
Man Russell was for real that day. Respect. Borg, Guga and Nadal are special there. They own it.
Man...Russel gets to every ball! It is annoying as hell when people do that against you in a match but I'm so glad Guga pulled through. Great tennis.
Far more entertaining than the 2020 french final.
The 2020 was played at an incredibly high level abd there were some incredible rallies, idk how that is not entertaining
Wrong
Is that the one where Rafa thrashed Novak
Fantástica vitória do Guga.
Superação!
Que jogaço! Partida histórica! Guga tirou forças de onde nem sabia que tinha pra virar esse jogo!
O Guga é o maior do saibro! Jogava com o coração!!! Um excelente atleta coração de leão!! Esse jogo entrou pra história!!
Emocionantes jogo e comemoração. Momento memorável.
Absolute Cinema!
Foi dps desse jogo que o Guga criou confiança pra ser tricampeão de Roland Garros
What an outstanding performance from both!
You just know this is about to go down with that opening music.
Insane quality! Guga is so fun to watch. Later on he said his brother inspired him to victory that day.
Glorious True Warrior
What a comeback
che tennista , incredibile!!!
Russell has a SICK backhand, especially down the line
Only true champions can do this!!
Guga 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the summary of this classic match. I ask Roland Garros and the French Tennis Federation to post this full match in one of their UA-cam channels. Thanks.
I would have loved to see peak nadal against peak Gustavo. not sure the spaniard would won so easily given the sheer quality of kuerten tennis.

In addition to that, The peak Federer came in 2007.
@@hyunhosuh9912 I agree that peak Nadal was maybe 2017, he was a total assassin that year at roland garros including at the final against wawrinka

Guga, the number 1 ATP. From Santa Catarina, south américa.
Super both players!
Kuerten was no less than a rock star

So incredible!!
That's why the best Idol of Roland Garros is Guga!

He was not agressiv enough.he waited for Gugas misstacke at this point.
Never give up!
Época que não desistiam de nenhuma bola...

Une leçon de vie.
If Guga hadn't had the physical problems that shortened his career, he would certainly have won another Roland Garros and maybe a US open
3rd best clay court player ever
Total Package:
1) Nadal
2) Borg
Thats for sure.
But Prime for Prime, i am not sure if Borg really would beat Kuerten. Yes Borg von the FO 6 times, but remember Kuerten won it 3 times at the age of 20, 23 and 24, and shortly after his 25th birthday he had a hip injury and never recovered from it, at least not for Best of 5 tournaments.

He had Ferrero´s number (winner 2003), and guys like A. Costa (winner 2002) and Gaudio (winner 2004) would not be the favorite against him.
So Kuerten could also have won the FO 6 times.
And Prime for Prime i would say he would be the best opponent Nadal would ever faced, better then Federer, Djokovic, Wawrinka, Thiem, Söderling, Puerta, Ferrer, etc.
Amazing defense from Russell
Don't really remember Russell well but what a performance by him in this match.
Love those old iPrestige racquets, thing of beauty
Monstro!
Damn, see that effort by Russell on the last point
It was Kuertens for Russell after the 3rd set comeback!
Thiem vs Schwartzman please!

Beautiful match, Guga with the strong backhand did not give a chance in the final sets of the match.
