Love it!
Absolutely love these flashbacks! Keep it up, I love them
Keep going.
great memories. the grand slams are uploading many old matches to youtube. the atp doesn't need to hide there. you have your classics channel.
Need some harmonisation with grand slams for comprehensive highlights. Grand slams are were legends are made.
Muster was a beast...intense footwork and effort every single point.
Just imagine 1995 Muster vs Rafa play Roland Garros final, that would be monster match. The legendary Austrian won outstanding 11 clay court tournaments that year
Still Rafa would win in straight sets
@@TheKakarot_itachi today yes but in musters primetime he had a chance against rafa....but not in rafas prime you know what i mean i hope so...my English is not so good😑
@@TheKakarot_itachi Probably but we have to take into account the improvement in the racquet technology
@@Trung4496 irrelevant. Two players of different eras are compared by their achievements in their respective times.
gregorsamsa555 I tend to agree that Muster in his absolute prime, ie 1995, would have been able to beat Nadal on clay, he was actually that good. But of course, we shall never know
Muster was ahead of his time as a player.
Prime example of Muster's fighting spirit. Loved how he fired on all cylinders. 💪🗿🎾
the beauty about Muster, is he won Key Biscayne 1997 - his last tounrament victory- the place he was driven down 1989
What was so great about that era was all the different styles. You had pure serve and volley players like Edberg, all court players like Becker and Sampras, attacking baseliners like Agassi and Courier, baseline counterpunchers like Chang and the baseline grinders like Muster or Bruguera. Combined with great differences with regards to the speed of the courts you had very interesting matchups. Today everybody plays the same no matter what surface or the opponent. The only exception is Federer because he can do things modern players don't even bother to learn.
Sampras: Ok, I want this tournament.
Muster: I want this tournament ... I want it, I want it, I want it and I'm going to get it !!!
Wow, this is actually better tennis than what we are used to seeing in today's matches.
It's not really better, but it's much more interesting to watch than many players on the tour today.
That said, depending on who you're watching, you can see much better tennis being played nowadays.
@@SomeoneYouKnow2671 I don't know, in the past 10 or so years I haven't seen better tennis than the 1996 ATP finals match between Becker and Sampras.
@@SomeoneYouKnow2671 It's better.
That used to be the case with tennis until late 2000s, great tennis matches even in early rounds. There were variety in styles and in courts, matches were won by outplaying the rival.
Now every player is the same, either a hard hitter from the baseline or a pusher, no technique or tactics. Everyone tries to outgrind each other.
@@masters.1000 I completely agree. There are no styles anymore. Everyone is a baseline robot.
The power Sampras could generate with his flat forehand was outstanding. Can we get a video on that?
Increíble, el juego de Tomas Muster. La fuerza y gasto físico 💪 NOTABLE. Ídolo Muster!
amazing match from both players and Thomas Muster is a legend in the Tennis
Loving these gems from 80s n 90s
Man, muster had the heart of a lion. What an attitude
Hes Nadal with one handed backhand
With his miracously recovery and his achievements, i still don´t get it how he didn´t make the cut for the Hall of Fame! What a warrior, i just wished that he at list had won a second French Open.
I love Thomas Muster, a great man tennis in the world.
muster said years later in an interview that he was short before quitting before this year. he was insecure that he can really win a slam or beat the top.
even people often though he is cocky and self confident, he really wasnt, it just seemed that way from the outside.
he then went trough his results and realized that he had beaten everyone at least once.
this kinda reflects in this match. at the start he wasnt so confident, went supersafe on the backhand, kids today would even say cringy at some points.
But with every great point he won confidence set in, he took more risk and hit even better shots until sampras slightly broke.
6:35 that smash, sampras was full of it. tired of him running after every lost cause and fetching more than a golden retriever.
i think the semi against sampras showed his full potential
Edberg stop Muster many times.Edberg .Think 93 was Edberg last and stop play 96. He was not that good 94-96.That give Muster a chans too win this.
Huge fan of Muster, but did forget how smooth, compact and easy on the eye was Malivai Washington game, a true all around player, maybe he lack a bit of explosivness but what a nice package of groundstrokes and volley´s he had. Terrible luck with injuries, he should have stayed a bit longer in the top if it wasn´t for them.
awesome Muster
Muster, Connors, McEnroe. When these guys played, they left it all on the court. You can't help but respect people like them.
Probably the most underrated player. He was worlds number 1 once and stupid McEnroe still talked trash about him.
Please show more, I miss tennis like this!
You can see that Dominic Thiem draws parallels to this guy not only because they're both austrian
And they played against each other, which is kind of cool
5:26 this is will to win
Insane dedication
Muster was an animal with a crazy defense. He made you play at least one more shot. And then another one. Hated that with Muster and still hate it with Nadal.
The moo-man! Great tennis player! Should be in the hall of fame by now...
C'mon ATP, we need a masters 1000 in germany again ;)
Halle...
@@masters.1000 Halle would of course be a dream. In Germany and the first on grass. Halle with her Roger-Federer-Allee is very popular in Germany. I am there every year.
However, the conditions are not so easy to meet for a Super 9 status. an exemption for lawn would be needed.
Master 1000 are limited by the ATP and the only one who would sell there spot is Madrid, but want a loooot of money. Vienna was thinking about it, but its to expensive.
Yeah! So disappointed to see the Hamburg Masters become an inconsequential tournament now.
Look at the roll of honor and the recent winners. Does not befit such an old and for long a prestigious event.
Muster was a gladiator... its easy to be federer´s fan because he generaly wins... but being a muster´s fan is tough, nothing came easy to de austrian... his shots wearen´t the best, but his hearth was in my opinion the best in history of tennis. my favorite player ever.
This is so much better than today’s baseliners!
I love these videos from the 90s...contrast in style and surfaces!
Ironic how Sampras lost against Muster on carpet, when Sampras was the one to complain Muster didn't deserve the nr 1 ranking because he mainly won all his tournaments on clay. Good job Thomas!
Maybe caus color of carpet looked like clay 😏
and it was pretty slow (good for Muster)
Muster was the real deal…..I had forgotten, would not look out of place with todays plus 1 players
Really enjoyed watching that, thank you so much!
Muster reminds me a lot of Rafa; very physical, runs hard for everything, and a solid, solid leftie. Mal played really well as well. I haven't seen many videos of him at all, so this was a nice reminder.
MaliVai Washington is a bit of a forgotten man. Made 1993 Miami final. 1996 Wimbledon final, final here. USA had so many great players, they could have back up like Todd Martin and Malavai Washington for Davis Cup, although not sure how much Davis Cup MaliVai played.
Dieser Titel machte Thomas Muster abseits seiner geliebten Asche zur späteren Nummer 1. Er schlug sogar Sampras im Halbfinale.
A truly remarkable achievement
1995 gab es bereits im Frühjahr ein Turnier in Stuttgart (welches ab 1996 Super 9 wurde). Stockholm (Super 9 von 1990 bis 1994) wollte/konnte den Turnierstatus nicht mehr halten. Da sprang einmalig der Standort Essen ein. Schade das es nicht eine Weile dort blieb. Essen ist nicht weit von meinem Heimatort entfernt ;-)
Genau. Gut gesagt
I believe this win in Essen (on a carpet surface) and the two wins on hard surface in early 1997 (Dubai and Miami) are Muster's biggest achievements.
For winning on clay was like daily practice for him.
In fact he made headlines when he lost of the red dirt.
Weird that Sampras won their only match on clay, at the 1991 French Open.
The absolute madman!
Thomas Muster. The fittest player of all time. He sometimes even won 4 consecutive weeks a tournament and he never looked tired.
The guy won more than 5 matches at a grand slam only once. Just let that sink in. So overrated.
Interesting that Muster beat Sampras here on fast indoor carpet, and yet Sampras won their only match on clay, at the 1991 French Open.
Muster had a phenominwl 1995.
Muster!!! 🇦🇹
great referee Rudi Berger RIP
Was er is tot??
@@davidthailand4309 ja 2007 viel zu früh
thats a mad flex
Rumor has it that Muster made a deal with the God of Thunder.
5:20 what a defense!
Fantastic stuff from Muster. To beat Pete on indoor carpet was no joke. Washington was a solid player, too. Muster remains underrated on hard and overrated on clay. For all of his prowess on dirt, he won but one RG. Never even reached another final. Courier and Bruguera did a lot better than that. Muster had more clay Masters titles than both of them taken together, and yet a lone RG win.
Cool.Ein Masters im Pott.

Watching Muster here we can see that in the men's game quite a few players still play with a one hander. Whereas in the women's game, Henin, Mauresmo, Vinci seemed to inspire no one to come through with a one hander, or coaches have way too much power and influence, not allowing any young player to develop a one hander to be different.
I think, this was Musters greatest match.
Great video.
People don't realize that Djokovic missed winning in Hamburg and Madrid Masters (when it was played on indoor hard court), so he doesn't have every M1000 that he ever played.
Federer doesn't have Sttutgart and Montréal, apart from Monte-Carlo and Rome.
Nadal never won Shanghái, Paris and Miami.
Why are you hiding your djokovic hate with that nonsense? Ofc djokovic doesn't have madrid indoors and Hamburg because he was like 20 yrs old when those two events were held the last time at masters level.
I don't see how that is worth mentioning, the achievement was and still is that he has all master 1000 titles currently on tour
@@arvidl5666 That's facts, not hating.
It doesn't matter the age. With 20 he won Miami and Australian Open, he was fully capable of winning both of them.
@@sergiosarmiento4371 Yes, he won all M1000, and missed two Masters Series.
But for some stupid reason, the ATP counts Madrid indoors like Shanghái, when they were played at very different conditions apart from the venue itself.
@@masters.1000 that makes absolutely no sense what you are saying. It's extremely hard to win a masters at 20 yrs of age. Novak would have definitely won both tournaments in his prime at least once so it doesn't matter.
最後の相手はThiem
Yes the bos
Wenn unsere österreichische Next-Gen nur 10% des Killerinstinktes eines TM hätte..
3:09 Muster fh 3:43 bh
how can he run like that!!?🏃♂️
Even Federer loses at times. Muster's first win in 7 games.
MOOOOOOSE!!!
Musterminator!!! 👍👍👍
Muster was the only one good enough to win Essen.
My coach was once Thomas musters practice partner
How the heck did he go from India to wherever Muster was at that time??
And please name your coach..
I think you are from Andhra.
5:48 XDDD
Next one will be Federer winning the only blue clay title?
Muster was like poor man's Nadal.. many similarities in terms of game strategy and point construction!
12:40 Musters ball maybe should be out
why dont they play on carpet anymore?
Muster wie auf Koks... 😅
times, when the rainbow wasn't perceived as LGBT symbol and nobody, took attention to the skin color of a player...
Look up gay pride events from 1995. We didn't suddenly decide to use the rainbow it's been a part of the community for decades.
The MOOSE!!!
Slow indoor surface
The ugliest and heaviest trophy ever. No wonder they did not host the tournament anymore.
Buuuu ...👎👎👎👎
