I remember this match very well. Ferrero was leading 2 sets to 1, and in the fourth set was 3-1 and serve, when Guga did a stop, using the "medical time-out". It broke Ferrero's rythm. Anyway, this match was really a final. Guga was the best clay court player of the era; Ferrero was clearly the second. This year, Spain won its first Davis Cup, having Ferrero as the hero. He defeated Safin, Kafelnikov, Rafter and Hewitt (4 ATP number ones) to win the tournament. Two awesome players. Miss them.
Eu fico vindo ver este video para assegurar que isso de verdade aconteceu em um momento não muito distamte. Campeão de RG, 5 tenistas top 100. Vendo a situação atual do ténis brasileiro parece que foi um delírio, um sonho.
Artur Varejao Verdade amigo. E imagina se não fosse as lesões no quadril?? Quantos RG mais ele poderia ter vencido. E quando será q teremos um novo Guga??
Artur Varejao sabe o q isso,amigo? Falta de investimento,falta de organização.Sou fã de tênis.Bem adolescente comecei a acompanhar pela TV a fase incrível de borg,john mcroe,Jimmy connors,Ivan lendl etc,etc.Quando surgiu o nosso Guga,me senti como se a ficha não quisesse cair.Quem poderia acreditar? Eu via aquele cara jogando de igual pra igual com qualquer craque do circuito; Agassi,pet Sampras,Ferrero,patric rafter,Nossa!!! Pensei q dali em diante,nosso tennis iniciaria uma nova era.Q pena.O trem do Guga,meligeni,André Sá passou e ninguém mais apareceu.Cheguei até à ficar esperançoso quando aquele brasileiro foi campeão juvenil no Austrália open,não me lembro nem mais o ano e nome nome do cara.Foi só impressão.Q venha dias melhores para nosso tennis,assim espero.
Nunca mais teremos um atleta como Guga. Nosso país não investe nem em futebol,quem dirá no tênis... Guga foi uma exceção,tinha talento de sobra,e não precisou do governo.
Acho que nenhum país do mundo o governo investe em tênis. Aqui no Brasil o governo apoiou numa época. Acho que duas coisas aconteceram. Ficou muito caro se profissionalizar no tênis. Os grandes torneios se concentraram mto na Europa. O circuito de acesso tbm ficou caro. O Brasil chegou a ter uns 30 challengers em ano e nessa época o banana bowl trazia para o Brasil os melhores juvenis. Segundo tema é a concorrência do jogo universitário vs profissionalizar. Naquela época não era tão acessível brasileiro conseguir bolsa em universidade americana com tênis. Então mtos jogadores tenta a carreira profissional. Eu que acompanho o tênis desde nível future vejo a mulecada sul americana debamdando as universidades. É muito mais garantido conseguir algo, o início no tênis profissional é muito cruel. Quem tem 25 mil dólares anuais entre os 14 e 18 anos para bancar a carreira internacional de um tenista que nem sabe se vai virar. Vejo no Chile, Argentina e Peru essa decadência. Mesmo na Argentina hj o Delpo é ponto fora da curva. Se esses tenistas hj top 200 argentinos com o talento que tem seriam top 50 se fossem europeus. O tênis sempre foi um esporte de elite, mas nunca foi tão caro se profissionalizar como é hj. Além disso, por problemas de apostas, ficou pior, os futures nem premios pagam mais.
Ron P I agree. But unfortunately for the very tall people tennis is dominated by people who can hit hard and run like the wind. The tallest players don’t have the speed and mobility of Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, etc.
Ron P I agree. But I think Del Potro is a rarity. Guys like Isner, Querrey, Karlovic, Victor Amaya (6’7” tennis player from years past) don’t dominate like the fleet of foot. It seems the best players are around 5’10” to 6’3”. Another guy who hit extremely hard was Marat Safin. I think he was 6’4” and could crush balls off serve, return, forehand, and backhand. Extremely talented and yet only won 2 majors.
At this year's Rio Open, Larri Passos told us, in a public conversation, that Guga played with his heart. That is mainly what got him so far, as well as his wonderful technique.
Great highlights, superb quality howeveri believe it needs the scoreboard as a guide to see the tension on the point. I did watch a highlight yesterday with Wawtinka and Murray and you guys put in writing what was going to happen. I think a 20 or 30 minute video with scoreboard is the perfect balance. I also loved the no commentary.
@@AS-js7kb no cause Guga was never bothered by high top spins to his backhand since he was lanky and tall. Would give the edge to Nadal but not by much.
@@HCaulfield115 Kuerten never reached the semis of any other slams except French Open. Meaning there were many other ways to beat him besides just high balls to the BH. Guga is not as versatile as a Wawrinka even. I think 80% in Nadal's favor at the very least.
@@AS-js7kb Guga won the year end Championship vs Sampras and Agassi on a fast Indoor hard court. When I watched him live vs Tommy Haas when Haas was #2 in the world. It was when ATP still had a tournament at UCLA on hard courts. Guga would wind up on almost every ground stroke & hit with action plus pace. Injuries hit when he was #1 & dominant.
@@jonbonesmahomes7472 nah its not slow. They're putting a lot of spin and height in the ball, that's why. Also it was 21 years ago, the racket technology was nothing like today.
The crowd went wild when Kuerten would paint a heart on clay with his racket. I was in Paris working that summer and only able to watch in big screen not free those days to get tickets in that tournament in 2001 when he beat Alex Corretja at the final.
@@pablodonaldhypershow1861 I bought Diadora BluShield 2 Clay shoes and they seem very solid, similar to Asics Resolution style in terms of comfort, durability and stability. I like the design, too. The problem is, you need to order them online, because there is no way how to buy them in stone sport shops in the Czech Republic.
Hello, thanks for these Roland Garros Classics. When do they post this Kuerten vs Ferrero 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 too. Thank you.
Can certainly see some real similarities in the games and stroke mechanics of Ferrero and his protégé Alcaraz. Ferrero didn't have the same explosive power though.
Bravo Gustavo c'est mérité Ferrero Rocher était aussi Un Bon joueur de terre battue plus tard des années plus tard entraîneur d'Alcatraz quelle différence de vitesse de balle à l'époque et maintenant
Qué fuerte estaba el tenis iberoamericano por fines de los 90 y por la decada del 2000 y ahora ni la sombra, salvo obviamente por Nadal, pero por aquellos años mencionados habían chilenos, brasileños, argentinos e incluso peruanos por doquier, pero se perdió todo eso😢
Really??? jajajajajajajaja Is this a joke???? If you say that or you are a fanatic suporter or you do not know much about tennis!! I was watching tennis a long time ago because I am a tennis fan. Nadal is more powerful and more class tennis than kurten!!! He is miles away!!! Kourten has to sufer to win in the 2 Roland Garros finals he won. One was Ferrero in 5 sets and the other one an unknown american. Nadal in the 13 Roland Garros won, he just lost 2 games!!! There is a big difference in numbers and the way to win. And Nadal won that titles facing the best player in history Federer and the 3th Djokovic. There is no comparision betwen Nadal and anyone in clay!!
watching clay court game is relatively boring when compared to Grass / hard courts . Completing a point takes lot of gruelling rallies in clay court ( infact bit boring) which even gives wear and tear to the body of the players. Its a different skill set which was shown by likes of bjorg, jim courier, ivan lendl , sergi brugera , kuerten and then Nadal. good memories of kuerten brought back.
de hace 25 años para aca comenzo la era de los tenistas que no saben volear.... empujan la pelota cuando tienen que hacerlo....todos son fondistas....se transforma monotono el tenis....ya no se usa mas el slice...es un espanto adonde ha evolucionado el tenis...igual la gente ve cualquier cosa a la hora de ver un espectaculo de tenis....
Looking back at this match today, Rafa clearly moves better than both these guys and hits the ball harder than them as well. Hence 11 and counting here.

Two awesome players. Miss them.
Guga always did this thing when losing…he also did against Kafelnikov…it is what we call “jeitinho brasileiro”
Ferrero was a gentleman player and very talented also 🎾🎾🎾
Guga Kuerten: tem noção do que o camarada é?! Se tem deixa um like.
Grande Guga! Orgulho do tênis brasileiro!
Loose loose loose and free! Kurten is an artist, normally people like him don't win grand slams - he is a one off!
What an elegant and talented player Juan Carlos Ferrero...

Two GREAT clay court players. This was a wonderful era of tennis.
Tennis was never the same again when these guys left.
Yes, but they would have been no match for Nadal.
@@Tideman11 no way nadal would have beat Kuerten
@@crizzie_g Both in their prime? Nadal would have beaten him 4/5 times imo.
@@crizzie_gyou're right. He would have crushed him
Guga es un ser humano único y fue un tenista impresionante!!
Kuerten did not have a backhand ...he had a ROCKET
It would be interesting to see him against coria,Nadal,Federer and djokovic at their primes
Watched a match against Gaudio…not much diference in groudstrokes, but on serve was brutal…Kuerten’s serve is underrated…it is big
Onebackhand
Wawrinka’s is better.
@@geedererkkkkkk you are funny
I miss Guga, he was amazing at the French !
Loved watching him hit his backhand. Such a thin guy but beautiful smooth stroke with power and accuracy.

03:33 , 04:06 , 04:53 OMG! His Backhand was a perfect weapon.
His backhand preparation was high up in level with his shoulders. What followed was simply one of the best backhands.
y 3:23 ?????
The ability to slide exceptionally well on clay adds a whole extra weapon to the game....
At this year's Rio Open, Larri Passos told us, in a public conversation, that Guga played with his heart. That is mainly what got him so far, as well as his wonderful technique.
Guga´s backhand is delightful and overwhelmingly efficient, nobody had one like him.
Cada vez que eu assisto, eu fico emocionado. Grande Guga, a lenda viva do tênis brasileiro! 😉 💪 🎾
The one hand backhand players are treat to watch...
Thank you for uploading this great match! Sure miss seeing Guga and JC.
Guga, Que Jugadorr!!!!
Que orgulho desse cara 🇧🇷
Two French Open champs, very attractive too
It's 3: 97, 2000, 2001
Yes, but there are TWO players on court, which have won the French Open, therefore; "Two French Open champs..."
vosharap Yes, I also forgot how cute they were, especially Ferrero (Oh la la, lol.)
Two gorgeous players = gorgeous tennis to watch. I miss those days of tennis
Battle of champions... guga made himself a legend with this win.
Gustavo Kuerten in Roland Garros:
1997-🏆 2000-🏆 2001-🏆
My lord, that backhand was deadly
PLEASE! Gaudio vs Coria (2004) IN THIS QUALITY !!!!!!
what for?
Uh, to watch it maybe ?
Textbook one hand backhand , could hit with lots of topspin , underspin and flat out with power.
Gustavo Kuerten é e sempre será insuperável, saudades desse grande atleta, ficou pra história
Kuerten`s backhand is a masterpiece
Que jogador! Jogou demais! MITO!!!!!!!
Guga!!! Idolo
Monstro. Esquerda dele monstruosa.
It would be amazing to watch this in court level view
Kuerten is so free flowing and intense. JC Ferrero is so technically sound and fluid. I enjoyed these points.
Great highlights, superb quality howeveri believe it needs the scoreboard as a guide to see the tension on the point.
I did watch a highlight yesterday with Wawtinka and Murray and you guys put in writing what was going to happen. I think a 20 or 30 minute video with scoreboard is the perfect balance. I also loved the no commentary.
Nadal vs kuerten would have been a fun match to watch
this meeting almost took place in aucland in 2004
Nadal would win most of the matches on any surface

Both great players!
Saudades desses jogos fantástico e do back Hand demolidor do Guga.

it can be a weapon if you give wide angles
I know how you feel bro
I was just thinking how slow pace those players had before

Es un deleite ver jugar al Guga Kuerten
Época donde había gran competencia en tierra batida con muchos jugadores de talento
Guga on t'aime
I forgot how great Gooooozzzzes backhand was. Give wawrinka a run for its money.
SENSACIONAL!!!!!! Guga made his mark in Ferrero careers at Roland Garros.
Quem assistiu jogo do GUGA com narraçao do LUCIANO DO VALE da um joinha!!!!
ruy viotti na antiga manchete
I liked both players Guga and Ferrero

bad management. These clowns from diadora lost Kafelnikov

Saudade de ver o Guga jogar.
6 min highlights, Roland Garros whats wrong with you? Wimbledon uploads classic full length matches, US Open, AO- makes normal length highlights
Quase ninguém pegava o backhand do Guga.
Can certainly see some real similarities in the games and stroke mechanics of Ferrero and his protégé Alcaraz. Ferrero didn't have the same explosive power though.
2 Genious players
I miss Guga
You can see my analysis of Roland Garros final 2004.
I hope enjoy.
Its in Spanish
Such a gentleman
OMG, that backhand!
this hair..
Guga 🎉🇧🇷
Ferrero won the genetic lottery. This guy is easily the best looking tennis player ever and he plays well to boot
Bravo Gustavo c'est mérité Ferrero Rocher était aussi Un Bon joueur de terre battue plus tard des années plus tard entraîneur d'Alcatraz quelle différence de vitesse de balle à l'époque et maintenant
That was real clay court tennis.
Guga ❤️
Otra época, una cuando el juego no se reducía a quién le pega más plano y fuerte a la pelota.
Que cest bon...
Brilliant! But would be nice to know the score.
Qué fuerte estaba el tenis iberoamericano por fines de los 90 y por la decada del 2000 y ahora ni la sombra, salvo obviamente por Nadal, pero por aquellos años mencionados habían chilenos, brasileños, argentinos e incluso peruanos por doquier, pero se perdió todo eso😢
Guga is an artist like a Picasso.. ferrero is very good though top five today probably
Nadal - Ferrero Head to head: 7-2. Ferrero beat Nadal in Cincinatti 2006 and Rome 2008.
3:23 WTF??? 😲
Where is the score, Roland Garros? You put a video without informing thescore, like any UA-cam wannabe?
Jcf has a insane kick serve on ad side
And he is teaching Carlitos that serve 😃
Depois do Pelé, para mim, o melhor atleta brasileiro de todos os tempos.
クエルテン氏，強い。
バックハンドのセンス抜群
Guga 4ever
vous etes infoutus en france de faire un résumé correct, avec les scores ? vous etes vraiment un pays du tiers monde sans dec
qué maravilloso revés de GUGA.
If Roger had half of Guga's backhand... he would have won at least 4 or 5 more majors.
Juan Carlos Ferrero 💪🏾🖤
Very young Juan Carlos here
O mais top do vídeo é o Vamo do Guga
otros grandes backhand a una mano: HAAS, Federer, y el mejor: WAWRINKA.
0:39 Kuerten bh
GUGA MONSTRO
I think Guga in best form will easily beat Nadal in his best form.
Really???
jajajajajajajaja
Is this a joke????
If you say that or you are a fanatic suporter or you do not know much about tennis!!
I was watching tennis a long time ago because I am a tennis fan.
Nadal is more powerful and more class tennis than kurten!!!

Kourten has to sufer to win in the 2 Roland Garros finals he won.
One was Ferrero in 5 sets and the other one an unknown american.
