![Roger Federer vs Marat Safin - Australian Open 2009 [HQ]](/img/n.gif)
Agassi lost to Safin in the first round in 1998, then won Roland Garros the next year!! INSANE
No one saw that coming!!
@@samfrazier5599 I kind of did because this was during another one of Agassi's lackluster phases in his career (lol...now we know it may also have been during a meth phase if rumors that he did it more than the once he described in his full of fakery bio are to be believed). Safin meanwhile was not a name yet, but some of us had already seen things like his almost win over Jim Courier in Davis cup (granted Courier was a shadow of himself at that point, but Safin's game was still clearly impressive).
Hewitt won Wimbledon in 2002, lost in the first round in 2003 to a Croatian qualifier, Federer lost in the first round at Wimbledon 2002 to a Croatian qualifier, won Wimbledon 2003.
Agassi was rid of Brooke Sheilds in ‘99 .
@@smartasianfriend9940 I am sure Agassi was given a 'silent ban' due to drugs. What I am not sure was that it was 'meth' that he was taking. He highly likely took PED's, was caught and went away.
He beat Agassi and Kuerten in back to back matches at the French. Very underrated achievement considering at that time he beat a two time finalist and the 97 winner at 18. Moving forward, the guys he beat had 4 RG titles and 6 finals between them.
Damn, Safin looked gorgeous.
yep
Dang, you’re real thirsty
Yes. He was beautiful around this time.
He and Tomy Haas was the most looking good dude back then
STUNNING here and for the rest of his career.
What a clean striker marat is. Reminds me of davenport in the womens side
Safin underachieved more than anyone in recent tennis history
I agree except for David Nalbandian who never won a grand slam, yet made it to the semi final of each grand slam AND won the masters cup. One of the most talented players of the last generation
His sister was the same way.
@@reds10001 It's funny. I think Dinara overachieved, on the other hand. She isn't hugely talented or athletic yet became world number 1.
Thomas Berdych
Kyrgios
Some stars burn brighter and don't last quite as long as others. Safin at his best could give anybody in the world a run for their money.
Safin had soooo much natural talent. A bit more effort and stronger mental toughness and he would have won several more Slams.
What a movement and speed from Marat! He didnt play so in 2000s
He had serious wheels early on. I wonder what happened.
0:13 sums up my return game
Safin might not have lived up to his full potential, but he still has the distinction of being the tallest tennis player ever to be ranked #1 in the world as of 2020.
Two gorgeous guys and awesome talents playing each other! What's not to love?! :)
Two legends playing huge power tennis. They make it look so easy. It is far from that!
Andre is there.. Where are the another legend??
@@markko812 Marat Safin. Future World No.1 Winner of 2 majors. You don't think highly of him? He's a great player.
@@alanchong7513 of course I know, but honestly, he is off of legend category, was a great player but not in the same level of boris Becker, wilander, lend, etc.. In my opinion Jim courier with four bigs, neither is the legend group
@@markko812 Haha. You mark/assess harder than I do! That's fair enough.
Safin did have a massive game. He actually beat all the big guns in his time! He won about 15 events. It's a good result!
@Ron P ok. Jim Courier deserves to be rated higher than Marat Safin. Both these guys really only have one style. That being to outlast the opponent from the baseline. Neither can really start coming in and playing s net game to win. That seems to be what is missing. A guy like Edberg could do it all. Ability to change the strategy according to who they are playing and what's happening in the match.
I saw that match Live. Aa soon as I saw that kid crack that backhand down the line and make Agassi look average, I knew it was big trouble.
I was an Agassi fan but that kid just played different and his power was ridiculous.
Safin the HOAT (Hotest Of All Time) - woof
Thank you ! Both seemed to play with the avowed intention of bashing up each other. Look ! Agassi's frame is'nt a Head at all, it's his old Prince OS Graphite... He should have played with it all the time !
Interesting to note: Safin and Rafter are the two players to defeat Agassi twice in 5 Set Grand Slam Matches
Safin.. the hottest ever male tennis player..
Safin mentality is the best of all tennis time
Thanks for cobbling this match together from various sources.
At the highest level tennis is a game of mental endurance , set to set , week to week, year on year. This was Safin’s short coming 😢!
agassi playing here with a Prince Original Graphite racket from the 1980s. he just put a head logo on the strings.
outatime16 That’s what my stringer does after another Coors
Safin could have won about 5-7 slams if he took the game seriously.
Franque Worren many time he barely put an effort out there.
@@owenbeharry8478 He had a beast attack game, but his mobility was pretty awful for his height. Del Potro and Berdych moved way better
Sebas M he just didn’t work hard enough
@@muccisebastian9300 after knee injury he lost his footwork.before he moved better than Berdych
Monsta Andy He didnt care that much about tennis just like Nalbandian
Safin 🔥🔥🔥
You will get them next year, Andre!!!! I sure do miss watching him play!!!!
О Марат ! Ты супер!!!
Underrated clay courter.
Marat 17:09 💓
Only 18 beating Andrea in a Grand Slam...makes you think if you don't have world class tennis by 16 or 17 is it worth pursuing a professional career???
Love the handshake lol
Omg safin marry me
Nowadays Safin hardly rings a bell, Agassi does. Which is a shame, because Safin was crème de la crème.
He is handsome safin when he was young.
Gay?
@@alvinsluis805 I love you too
Why is Agassi wearing a shirt two times his size?
it was still somewhat around golden age of hip-hop
Because he could. You are pretty young i assume. It was the baggy era
To be fair everyone did. Check out the soccer players around this time.
Bcos of ur mom's advice
That was the fashion back in the day
safin here was just 18 yo,really amazing for that age.
Safin was 17 damn
agassi was always a must watch, especially at the slams
Looks like Marat wore Andre down- (not the easiest thing to do, considering how well conditioned he was).
Damn he was fine ! Think he got uglier as he got older
he’s still super hot.
He was in Melbourne this year. Look hotter than ever.
Wtf are you guys gay?
@@alvinsluis805 you can appreciate a good looking man .... c’mon
@@dblog i look only for women im not gay.
I didnt realize how much baggier tennis clothing was back in the day
The cuts of the apparel was so dumpy in this period. How was that even possible ? It makes them look so unathletic. I find it so sloppy looking
Y un chileno les ganó a ésos 2 gueones FERNANDO GONZÁLEZ chileno y Marcelo RÍOS también chileno
jajajja y Marat con mas Slams que esos 2.....
Agassi played terrible here good for him won the next year and Safin well he never succeded here even losing to Santoro
Safin is so hot here. I remember watching the match closely because I had never seen him before. Beautiful for an 18 year old.
Ух ты, Агасси ещё с волосами). Все говорят что Марат талант. Это да, но пахал он при этом на корте будь здоров. Для меня Сафин и есть теннис, он сделал эту игру намного зрелищнее.
@ Евгений Погребной да!!!
Safin you beautiful man 😘
Fabulous tennis from Safin, played like a Medvedev on his best day but a more attacking version of it, closer to the baseline. I still think though Agassi was stronger than this in the few following years.
@abhi reddy which medvedev?
@abhi reddy I mean actually which medvedev. Are you talking about Andrei Medvedev?
Marat was the total package. Of course he had a very good career, but it couldve been so much more.
Марат-красава!
Djokovic copied everything from Safin, even grunts!
Oh pls
😂 Safin never grunt for your information
Andre's game was on fire in that first set...whew!
I’ll never forget this match. This was the first time I ever saw Safin play back in 98.
Жаль Сафин РГ не взял, на грунте норм играл
In french tv I can see the ball….🤷♂️
So good!!
Safin was a beast physically but didn't have the goods mentally which is more important imo. Agassi wins 8 slams, Safin, the better player 1? Funny to see agassi playing with his trusty old POG with a Head stencil on the strings.
2...and Agassi did not have Federer or rafa as opponents
@@alexandraschall7896 well as a matter of facts he did.
