I applaud the fact that there’s no background music
I know! There's such an intensity to the quiet of tennis... Just the ball and the occasional grunt. I hate when they add music that drowns it
LOL seriously! So many good highlight videos are ruined by stupid music blasting in the background. Glad this one left the sound effects to the game itself.
Highly commendable
I applaud your comment
Exactly
It's my favorite thing when the opponent is so impressed he daps the dude up
How no replies???
Wow did not one of my fav yo yo yters watched tennis
Know
Evan tennis?
That second return from Sock was nothing short of 150km/hr and to even think of returning that monster of a shot, so close to the base line, let alone pulling it off in the most badass manner is why Dimitrov got that fist bump from Sock in the end.
Sock remembers me Agassi, that return after opponent's service is perfect
Seeing Agassi smile was cool, because you could tell he wasn’t just impressed with the shot, but was also excited to see that next gen of players excel. Needless to say, I’m sure Andre is happy with how they turned out
Him: Hits 2 through the legs.
Me: Hits myself in the balls and cries.
@@re1ive456 3 balls in fact
Dang I never thought of it that way.
This made me laugh so much and I don’t know why
@MUFC Soccer doesn't exist, It's football
@MUFC ok
the smile on agassi's face after young nadal's passing shot is priceless. he's like "i guess i need to retire now. i don't recognize this game anymore."
Chicken walks away
In his time, Agassi was better than Nadal.
@@masters.1000 Agassi in his time was better than nadal because nadal was still a kid at that time. Agassi at his best is not better than nadal at his best, even agassi himself has suggested that rafa, fed and novak are the three best players ever.
@@masters.1000 dude u high
@@zxt327 He was being moddest.
Agassi won in Wimbledon playing on the baseline. THAT Wimbledon, not the current one which looks like clay.
He won on clay, which was even slower than now.
He won on hard courts, which were way faster than now.
All of this with those tiny and rigid rackets of the time, smaller balls, without any special treatments, recovery, phisios, training and all of those things that any pro player has now.
Monfils and Djokovic are the BEST at giving their opponents gestures of appreciation. True Gentlemen of the Sport.

This goes on for quite some time
Those two shots from Dimitrov (which were back to back!) are the stuff of legend. Particularly because the second one was off one of the fastest returns I've seen.
Exactly I would like to know at what speed sock returned that serve!
I was thinking the same thing! the clock actually goes off there in the background, if you look closely. I'm pretty sure from the timing and the number that it can't have been clocking the serve, either, because the clock was reading 177-- but what are the units? if that's kph I feel like that's too slow (only ~110mph), and if it's mph it must have been the second serve b/c that's a good 20 mph faster than the fastest recorded serve *ever*. seems believable to me, honestly-- that is the loudest *bang* I've ever heard from a tennis shot, and the server was nowhere *near* ready for that kind of heat, and 100% lucked it in with that behind the back shot haha.
@@MVPhurricane The fastest groundstrokes ever recorded are in the 120 mph range, so those have got to be kph readouts, probably for Dimitrov's serves (they were second serves). But if they were for Sock's returns, 110 mph is still blazing fast
Bro Sock was SMOKING those
Dimitrov has the touch no doubt, but applauds for Sock for letting the second one be a winner because he could've easily kept on going in this point. That's the highest form of respect
Probably won't happen, but I really hope Monfils wins a major. One of the most entertaining players on tour, and also just a nice guy. I spoke with him for a minute at the 2019 US Open, very humble and gracious dude.
I hope the same for gasquet and monfils. If only gasquet becomes confident and ditches that weird forehand for the 2005 forehand.
The way he was playing before corona cancelled everything made it look very possible
Monfils, Gasquet and Tsonga would probably have a few Grand Slams between the three of them if they had been born 10 years earlier and had mostly avoided Rafa, Roger, Novak and Andy
@@thibautfz2041 Definitely. I love the big four, but they really screwed things up for every other player in the world.
@@thibautfz2041 and berdych
5:15 the ball spinning back to his side......amazing......never seen that before
Well that is Medvedev for y'all folks :)
Funny how Djokovic has been on the receiving end of a lot of these shots but he ends up winning most of those matches anyway so it doesn't really matter.
He enjoys on court more than anyone I can think of. He appreciates opponent, Cheer fans and importantly Wins titles doing all this. one of the best to ever play any sport.
@@zukerburgsshadow4147 and the audience usually hates him! :D
It just goes to show the level of shots needed to take points from Djokovic, but also shows that he appreciates great shots too!
the skills are not far differed, but greater players have done it more consistently in variety circumstances
It's not that he's been on the receiving end of most of these shots. Other players have had such shots hit against them as well, Djokovic applauds good shots always thus it is his reactions that are here.
One of my favorite things about Novak Djokovic is him applauding when an opponent makes great shot. Not only is he a fierce competitor but has the good sportsmanship to acknowledge excellence in others. And you'll note he is in more of these clips than anyone else. I was over joyed seeing Roger and Rafael doing it to. A real rarity indeed. Thanks for the clips.
I'm not a Djokovic fan but he does always give it up when his opponent hits a high-class shot.
yeah Djoko does it often, even in important match (grand chelem semi or final) when he is cornered in very tense moment, he's stil has great sportsmanship. amazing champion
He even did it in RG when he was losing 2-0 to Tsitsipas before turning the match. What a legend, others would prefer to eat their racket than applaud the opponent in that kind of moment.
@@zofilep3612 And then he went to the locker room for ten minutes, then came back, yelled at a ball girl, then at a line judge, then at the roof that was creating a shadow over the court, then at the ref for turning the lights of the stadium on, just an overall great guy really.
But, he didn't fake an injury this time so kudos to him.
@@Stars2p i know it hurts you, it will pass with time
Most the clips involved Noval Djokovic maybe that's because he genuinely respects his opponents and their skills
Also because u have to put up shots like that to just get a point from him
probably because when he is on song, then the opponents have to produce such miraculous strokes to snatch points from him.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to be so honest but psychologically it's more about his character of wanting to be a core part of the fun, like he usually is a front person in acts, he enjoys that. You can see that in the way he applauded from young age. It's cool to applaud in any case!
@@shikhargovil9579 novak will applause for opponent when he is winning he will not respect the opponent at losing.
5:27 Federer just thinking how he is supposed to return that. Great shot.
What I love about tennis is that, whenever I'm depressed, I see these guys achieve the impossible and my hope is renewed.
Nole is the first player that comes to my mind on applauding opponents' great shot or laughed at their lucky shot.
@@VicenzoV
How so?
Should he go and bow down to the opponent and clap in front of them?
Should he pat their back?
Give a high five each time?
Maybe polish their shoes?
Maybe smile each time?
A clap or thumbs up is good enough.
No need to ass kiss to much.
I'll take that over no recognition at all quite frankly. At least he does it.
Been doing it over a decade now.
He is also the first that comes to mind when faking injuries or doing over the top disrespectful celebrations.
@@aesir1ases64 He is also the first that comes to mind when somebody is two match points down and still manages to win the match 🙂
@@aesir1ases64 mad coz bad
@@aesir1ases64 mad that hes better than your favorite player lol
As a Federer fan, I have a lot of respect for Novak's sportsmanship.
doesnt it surprise you that there is not a single shot from Federer in this video. I came expecting at least 10 in the 25 promised.
@@mriduljoshi I was literally thinking that and searching the comments if anyone felt that way.
Novak has great personality. I don know why people think differently.
@@mriduljoshi ik this comment is old, but it's probably because are used to Federer's magical shots, that there is no need to applaud them. I think Novak has applauded some of Roger's shots, but they're in grandslams.
That one-handed backhand of Wawrinka is something else 😱
Djoko is so cute to applaud everyone
He's djoking.
8:51 they're named after the grunts they make
Bruh- 💀😂😂
Underrated comment
GOAT tier comment
This needs more recognition xDDD
This should be the most liked comment on youtube
Nadal's footwork at 6:17 is insane.
The best clay court player
Even when just taking a walk at the park, Rafa's footwork is amazing
Zverev applauds every time he himself hits a good tennis shot. :)
it's really nice to see how players are able to applaud each other when they make a good shot. nice to see good sportsmanship from our pros
When Federer applauds you, you must have done smh really special
'smh' is short for 'slap my head', I think you meant 'sth'.
@@hongthainguyen5334 No it's short for 'shaking my head' 😂
I use it for "stroking my head"
"Somehow"
he mean it as "something" dumbasses
I would have disliked this video if they would have skipped Djokovic in this category. A classy player who always acknowledges his opponent's shots even in crucial moments
I was once standing behind RF on a line at a stadium food stand when he was trying to buy a chocolate bar before one of his matches but his credit card kept getting rejected. So I told him I'll pay for it when, all of a sudden, he pulled his tennis racket out of his back pocket and applauded me with it. I felt so honored!
The last two are by far the best ones. Amazing!!
Djokovic in his head :
Respect
Except he doesn’t mean it 😂😂
@@ben-lf6zc haha
I think he means it when he applauds other opponents shots, but his “respect” when he says it, doesn’t feel genuine. He’s the best in the world right now and he knows it. It’s kind of fair enough because if he didn’t think that way, then he might not be as good as he is. But it just feels sarcastic when he says that imo.
@@ben-lf6zc You keep going to the hell and back just to convince yourself that Novak is not a genuine person or whatever.Even just a glimpse of "truth" in your delusion is what makes you feel just a little better IMO. Go study how he roars when the whole crowd is against him(out of frustration and anger) to conclude that he is actually a genocidal monster from Serbia with a little bit of narcissistic disorder or something like that,i highly recommend you do it,i see you are a true thinker ! Respect (now this is a sarcastic one)
@Radivoj Maric Touché haha. Hey man all I said is that Djokovic is the best and he knows it. I won’t make some psychological claims on his personality, sorry I upset you by insulting your true love . Peace 🙏
I love Djokovic and Monfils on both sides of the court.
Τhis list is one of the reasons Nole is my all time favourite player. He applauses his opponent every given chance because that's the kind of person he is... Kind and respectful besides an out of this world tennis player...
Monfils is one of those players who really should have achieved a higher ranking. extraordinary talent.
Med's insane backspin against fed..was outrageous!
Does that mean Federer can reach over the net to touch it and make it his shot?
@@drasticwillb No. Players (including their racqets) aren't allowed to cross the net during a point. If they do they lose the point.
@@drasticwillb Actually yes, Federer can reach over the net legally in this instance. It's an exception to the general rule (ITF rule #25b).
0:47 That's how it should always be.
One of the best things about watching sports, besides having your favorite player/team win, is seeing great sportsmanship between athletes.
That second match when dude returned two back to back between the legs has to be the best return combos in the history of 🎾
9:13 two in a row, Dimetrov the showman!
You used to be able to beat Djokovic mentally. His improvement in that area is absolutely stunning. Now when he smiles and applauds a shot, he's thinking, "OK, so you want to play, huh?" When he reacts like that, it's about to get real.
I totally agree. A few years back you could actually see him lose the plot and tank it. He's beaten that.
But I still prefer Nadal and Federer ;)
@@hopebgood Oh, I'm a Fed Fan always. It's going to be hard for me to stay interested in the game when he retires. But it's been incredible to watch the Big 3 dominate for a decade+
@@marktaylorauthor1000 Again....I couldn't agree more with ya mate. It's been a pleasure to watch Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
@MarkTaylorAuthor Djokovic lost today in the US Open 2021 finals and the biggest reason he lost is that his nerves got to him and he lost mentally and for that reason, he lost the match in straight sets!!
It's absolutely elating to watch these men enjoy the game and show this class. Monfil is a treasure.
its so nice seeing everyone smiling n clapping n shaking hands. its a profession, but its so nice to seeing these guys enjoying tennis
3:57 For several years, Wawrinka had one of the most lethal backhands in the sport. Hope he can get back to the top when things improve in the world. 🔥
I don't think so. All the top guys are on the verge of retirement.
Dude he still does. His backhand is ridiculously good, still.
Swiss backhands are built different! Federer’s and his are so elegant to behold.
Amen 🙏🤘
@@milol.akkaraprud8681 yes
These are all nice gestures, but I really admire the ones where appreciation is shown at the big points.
Cause it´s easy to applaud when you lead or play under no pressure.
Seeing Kyrgios clap and bow to his oppponent truly made my day.
I love Djokovic's expression at 6:43-6:44, which says, "Yep. Can't do anything about that."
I’m always rooting for the player who doesn’t grunts
Roger doesn't grunt
Cept when it's Nadal
@@Cerph Roger grunts sometimes
Vamos RAFA!
Why I can't stand watching Rublev or many of the women.
7:12 YEAH MAN!! What a cool dude is Tiafoe. Same for Shapo. Two freaking awesome guys
There could have been many more shots that were as good as those but weren't applauded but look at navol applauding every shot and giving respect to the opponent. Honestly a genuine guy.
Love this not only for the INSANE shots that are hit, but also the great sportsmanship
*For those who don't know*
There is a clip at 9:52
Only true tennis fans can watch it
I love it when Atheltes show respect to each other and start to lough even if they loose the point or the battle. That is what Sports are all about - having fun cause you love what you do!
Man these 2 back to back shots from Dimi were out of this world, one of the best we saw or we’re gonna see anytime soon!!
Djokovic was one of the first players I notice doing it. It impressed me a lot. He was World number 3 at the time and still very young. But the maturity you have to have to acknowledge greatness being inflicted on you. Was for me, a sign he would achieve great things.
PS.: There is nothing quite like sleeveless Nadal 9:00
I feel like Monfils did like 8 of those. Streetballer.
only 3.. but close
I watched the Sock Dimitrov match live, those two points were back to back, truly insane!
I loved the fact that everytime the opponent played the great shot the other player applauded him ❤️❤️
You are awarded to make the Most Stupid comment in the comment section. 📯
I feel like this happens the most in tennis and disc golf. What friendly competitors who respect the game and love to see high-level play.
Nobody:
Robbie Koenig: Look at that camera angle!
Sucks that it was such a good shot that it bounced over and back and lost the point.
@@CAPAE He didn't lose the point. When it bounced back over it would only count in doubles
Insanely good from Grigor Dimitrov, on consecutive points!
Sportsmanship is definitely one of the greatest things in this life
Wow, this is awesome! I stopped teaching Tennis in 2020 (after 15 years) and miss Tennis in general - I retired. To see Tennis at THIS level is breathtaking to say the least. Kudos on a great video!!! Thanks. Ron
I feel like every year, the hot shot bar is raised... getting more and more talented and epic.
Those two Dimitrov shots consecutively 🤯
I absolutely love witnessing great sportsmanship in any sport.
I like when opponents aren't enemies and they actually are happy to be there :)
I've seen plenty of Kyrgios's matches courtside and he is the first player to applaud and enjoy the great points of his opponents. Nice for you to show them here (three of these were Nick losing a point and applauding his opponent).
Monfils is a fun guy to watch and seems like a truly nice guy. Seems to always have fun win or lose
I forgot Nadal played when Agassi was still around. That match was special and is a classic
Djokovic and Wawrinka both applaud their opponents the most on the tour.
I love how Djokovic is in like 80% of the video
When the opponent applauds a good shot becames art.
You need two to make art in tennis.
The beauty of understanding angles, and being creative.
This is what we love. NO ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSICS.
Don't you just love it when this happens in a match? Just shows how much sportsmanship these players can manifest
Applauding her own coin toss😂😂
Tennis needs its own feed with no commentary. Just the pure sound
I´ll always remember these two points in a row by Dimi... Great video! Few older shots tho...
Reason I love Monfils, he lives by the sword so when he dies by the sword, he’s gracious. Such a sportsman.
This kind of sportsmanship is rarely seen in park tennis...dont know about the clubs . Sportsmanship is something you don't need skills like Rodger or Joker to copy perfectly!
That’s Tennis! Awesome. Great Sport and Sportmanship! Thanks for sharing. 👌🏻
9:23 the power of that return though
how pissed off had to be Sock to make that bazooka shots and how talented is Dimitrov to answering in that way twice!
@8:02 - my dream drop shot. And Djokovic gives me the thumbs up.
Such a pleasure watching a clean game with no dirt at all
The grunts some of these guys unleash are hilarious 🤣🤣
This video is a perfect example which shows the efforts a players has to put to just snatch a long rally point from Djokovic!!!! Probably the best defensive baseline player ever!!!!
One thing l like about Djokovic is he is not disappointed when he lost the first set but he goes on trying it to win till the last 😍
Those last two shots were just amazing.
This is REAL sportsmanship!
4:55 easily the best
I was amazed to notice that Djokovic usually applauses great shots
Tennis is such a beautiful sport.
the last segment was hilarious lol. So fast, so good, mutual respect. What a sequence.
1:09 that inside-out forehand is ridiculous! The fact that Djokovic even got to it was crazy.
You saved the best for last... 🔥
it is nice to see rivals applauding
The ATP Tours are 100% the best! 💥💥💥
3:19 lmao I can’t stop continuously watching it.
Uye uaaahhhhh uye...uahhhhhh uye
omg Dimitrov !! 09:14 and 09:25 👏👏👏
Respect is everything !
best thing is the appreciation from the oppositions...priceless
