Which 2000s player do we want highlights for next week?! Recent vids... Safin: ua-cam.com/video/tlUbV1uB_KA/v-deo.html Gonzalez: ua-cam.com/video/0jOXdG6vrMQ/v-deo.html
Everyone! I truly miss that real strong era of attacking beautiful tennis. What we have today is an over rated Breathovic with zero net skills and an over head worse than high school kids having five wimbledons because of these dead slow courts. Bring back that fast old courts and we will get to see more of these Davydenkos and Gonzalez and Safins instead of over rated wannabe social media millenials.
@@taopaille-paille4992 Close but no. 2009-2016 was still really good, specially from '10 to '13 with nadal's phenomenal years and novak peaking. 2017-'20 was really bad.
I claim myself to be one of the biggest fans of Davy and yet , I haven't seen some of these points Magnificent thank you ! Davydenko's quickness is unmatched in addition to his legs/hand-eye coordination ! Finally Davydenko is getting a little more recognition thank you !
He was such a fantastic player. Lucky to see him play in person. Amazing footwork, court coverage, and racquet head speed. If I was a player on the tour, I would seek him out as a coach.
Until the Ultron years, Davydenko was the only man to have played Nadal more than 10 times and have a positive h2h. Hugged the baseline like nobody else.
One of my favourite retired players (in this order Nalbandian, Gonzalez, Davydenko, Safin, Soderling). Worth noticing that he retired with a positive record over Rafa (6-5)
@@EduardoMcGregor Yes I loved Davy and Blakey too. Just go for broke and pound that ball on the up. Don't think too much, let muscle memory and quick feet take charge. When Nishikori is playing his best he reminds me a bit of the great Davydenko!
An absolute monster from the baseline. Power and angles were so good. He was at his peak from the end 2009 till the AO 2010 where he blew Federer away for 1,5 sets. After that the match and his whole career went complete downhill inexplicably.
I've been around tennis since a kid but only started following it recently. Every time I've seen this guy in a highlight he looked very impressive, quite pleased i get to see more w this compilation.
First up: Tennis TV....thank you so much for all these fabulous highlights you've been posting during lockdown. Have enjoyed them so much. Second up: I loved Davydenko. Always seemed to hit the ball a quarter second faster than anyone. Court coverage and anticipation like the great David Ferrer, but at a speed turned up just a notch. In that regard only Monfils and DeMinaur have ever matched him, imo. His two-handed backhand was both lethal and a joy to behold. I reckon Murray watched and learnt a lot about his angles. How he never won a slam is beyond me. Just goes to show how narrow the win / lose margin is at this level.
Felix Y davydenko talented player amazing to think he didn’t win a slam or even get to a slam final but at least he won the ATP finals and 3 masters series
@@Adanda1a-p5u But Dimitrov made 3 grand slam semi finals as well and won ATP Finals beating Thiem and Cincinnati 2017 beating Del Potro(who made it to US Open semi final following week beating Federer). I guess Davydenko is better. Who do you think is better?
Basically played Djokovic's game before Djokovic did. Defensive, but determined to stick to the baseline and apply pressure wherever possible. Sadly he never quite seemed bothered enough to really go for slams; he loved playing lower level tournaments with high prize money and was very successful in those tournaments. The ATP finals he won showed he could mix it with the best when he wanted though.
yeah exaclty. Is like novak watched davydenko and hewit and say "I would do what they do, but also be a litle bit more offensive". There you go, more efficient tennis player ever lol.
@@masters.1000 Guillermo Coria is a mentally weak player. He can never win a slam in any era. He lost against a nobody. His only other semi final is 2003 french open. And that is even worse. Lost against a player who never made the 4th round of any other grand slam.😂😂😂 This era sure is better than that.
Гордость нашего тенниса! Браво, Николай. Сегодняшним молокососам еще поучиться у тебя надо. Надеюсь, Хачанова научишь бегать и внедришь ему хотя бы 0,5 своего бх. И спасибо каналу за возможность снова пережить эти блестящие моменты. Жалко, что не захватили Доху и АО 2010. Присоединяюсь к посылу видео и поздравляю с Днем рождения!
No ... that was not his weapon. That is Nadal and Djoker's weapon - lack of consistency was Davy's weakness. Some days he would just be off and nothing would work. But once he got into the groove, every shot went in ... like a machine. His weapon was hitting the ball before the other player had even recovered from his last shot
@Feed me a hammer and I will crap out nails. I was talking mostly about esthetics, his forehand and especially backhand look almost identical, as well as the footwork after hitting both
@Feed me a hammer and I will crap out nails. Rubbish ... Davy's shots were equal of Djoker's in power ... plus doesn't matter that much when you take the ball that early .. he takes the ball earlier than Djoker
The best era of tennis not only because of the big three but so many talented players with so different styles, davidenko, nalbandian, murray, gonzalez, safin, agassi, hewitt, roddick, etc
Clean hitting, the way he played down the line in both wings and the angles he could hit, were absolutely terrifying. Magnific player, maybe if he had a stronger serve and volleys he would have had many more titiles.
I watched Devydenko and Monfils on practice in Toronto before tournament started. ( 2008 or 2009 not sure) . Monfils couldn't win a single point from the baseline . Totally outclassed him.. and then he got injured and withdrew from tournament... ..to bad....
Good luck man , as a teen I played his game and became 16th in Bulgaria (men's proffesionals rank) and have won a set agaunst the 800th bulgarian on the atp , got injured at age 17 and that's that My reasoning too i was his height and his weight And am quick soo i quickly learned from him
He was one heck of a baseliner, would have been achieved a lot better if had some volley skills . And his slice was blunder. He just vanished, no news of retirement or anything.
Yes fed had his measure, which is strange because his game wasn't that far from Nalbandian's .. but Davy had Rafa, Novak and pretty much everyone else's measure
@@felixjames2174 Davydenko really should have won that match. That is no excuse. I just think I have to put Ferrer and Nalbandian ahead of him for underrated because of that. Nalbandian didn't really beat a top 10 player to get to the 2002 Wimblodon final. But he did make the final. Same with Ferrer he didn't really beat the big 3 to get to the 2013 french open final but he did make the final. If Davydenko can't even beat an unseeded player to get to a grand slam final what makes you think he can win more if not for Federer? He cracks under pressure. He had to beat Soderling and Gonzalez to make the 2009 french open final but yeah you can guess what happened. I'd have him behind Soderling, Berdych, Tsonga, Nalbandian and Ferrer when it comes to underrated.
@@anonymousLeroy I think that's a fair call. Despite what people above are saying he wasn't so consistent ... he ran a bit hot and cold from what i remember from his games ... Agassi was a natural born champion ... but you're right ... they're games are very similar .. except Davy got wheels
La derrota ante Doping Puerta, por mi parte, es lo más frustrante que vi en la carrera del ruso. Un jugador con uno de los mejores revés que hayan existido.
I truly miss that real strong era of attacking beautiful tennis.

ok boomer. im not a fan of Djoker, but he was 10 years ago a top player, now he is a top player. just respect him. lol. i don't like him, his playstyle, but i do admit, what he is and what he achieved.
Relax dude... Davydenko is a C grade version of Djokovic and both play identical tennis. Just because the weak era champ Mr 40-15 was winning slams back in 2000s doesn't mean that it was a strong era😂. Slowing down of courts is just a conspiracy theory invented by 40-15tards like you because 40-15erer stopped winning slams once he crossed 28🤣. But yes 29 is too old for you guys isn't it?
The courts were slow in the late 2000s - that is how nadal and all the other clay courters were enticed onto the other parts of the tour. You just think they are fast in these clips because Davy took the ball so early
Which 2000s player do we want highlights for next week?!

Ivan Ljubicic
Davydenko was such a machine. The pressure he exerted on a constant basis with his depth and directional control was truly scary.
Absolutely terrifying. His groundstrokes were nearly unbeatable in 2009.
One day people may understand that if there were a weak era ever in tennis it was not in 2000-2010, but in 2010-2020
@@taopaille-paille4992 Close but no. 2009-2016 was still really good, specially from '10 to '13 with nadal's phenomenal years and novak peaking. 2017-'20 was really bad.
The weak era is the one we gonna enter when Djokovic retires
Amazing amazing player. Totally deserved his master final. He should have won a grand slam!
I claim myself to be one of the biggest fans of Davy and yet , I haven't seen some of these points
Magnificent thank you ! Davydenko's quickness is unmatched in addition to his legs/hand-eye coordination !
Finally Davydenko is getting a little more recognition thank you !
The 2009 ATP Finals should be remembered as one of the finest in the history of that tournament. It was legitimately stacked with talent and quality.
You guys are killing it with these highlights. Safin, Gonzo, now Davydenko - thank youuuu
He was such a fantastic player. Lucky to see him play in person. Amazing footwork, court coverage, and racquet head speed. If I was a player on the tour, I would seek him out as a coach.
Miss this guy so much. His ablity to take the ball so damn early was phenomenal.
The Nadal scream at 5:07!!! LOL!!! It's is a testament to the kind of pressure Davydenko could place on even the top guys.
Davydenko had amazing groundstrokes he was a very good player
Until the Ultron years, Davydenko was the only man to have played Nadal more than 10 times and have a positive h2h. Hugged the baseline like nobody else.
Seems like we now have reminiscence of him in Rublev.
@@zarkoostojic9063no way absolutely NOT
Davydenko was such a great player...truly one of the great players that never won a grandslam.
One of my favourite retired players (in this order Nalbandian, Gonzalez, Davydenko, Safin, Soderling).
Worth noticing that he retired with a positive record over Rafa (6-5)
Wow! He is even better than I thought he was, and I thought he was a great player!
Damn I miss so much that kind of players!!! And James blake!!
@@EduardoMcGregor Yes I loved Davy and Blakey too. Just go for broke and pound that ball on the up. Don't think too much, let muscle memory and quick feet take charge. When Nishikori is playing his best he reminds me a bit of the great Davydenko!
Gonzalez doesn't belong in that group.
Nalbandian is easily the best player to never win a slam. Davydenko beats Haas for best player never to make a slam final.
18 minutes of Davydenko!! 😍😍😍
He was so skinny! He got such great timing and coordination hence he doesn't need to build big muscles to hit a powerful shot. Incredible.
An absolute monster from the baseline. Power and angles were so good.
He was at his peak from the end 2009 till the AO 2010 where he blew Federer away for 1,5 sets.
After that the match and his whole career went complete downhill inexplicably.
He changed his racquet!
yeah that match was the difference maker - he was annhilating Fed then total collapse. Would have won the title for sure

one of the players who could of easily won multiple slams if he was in an other era (the racket head speed is ridiculous)
I wouldn't say he was better than Kafelnikov, who won 2 slams in more competetitive era. Davydenko would've maybe made it to the final though.
@@zarkoostojic9063 Trust me. He was a lot better than weak era slam winners.
@@chamindujanith6337 What weak era slam winners?
@@zarkoostojic9063 Yeah. Most of the guys before 2005. Excluding Sampras and Agassi.
One of the best players and also humble
such an underrated player this guy was. He had great strokes and good footwork
Davydenko was a beast
Such an underrated player!
This used to be my favorite player, he was a machine!
That match against Nadal on Rome 2007 was just crazy!
Great player like Nadal lose badly to this guy. 6-1 on hardcourt surface, he's so underated
And people say that this was the so called "" weak era ""
Felix Y davydenko talented player amazing to think he didn’t win a slam or even get to a slam final but at least he won the ATP finals and 3 masters series
@@syedfawaz7416 yeah never got to a semis in a grandslam. he is good in best of 3 sets on hard courts.
@@karan200590 He is a 4 time grand slam semifinalist, two times on US Open and two times on Roland Garros

Thanyou Tebbis TV to bring good memories from Davydenko... We miss him alot.
Hell of a player when he was in the zone,he is the russian version of Agassi .
always loved davydenko!
Great video. What a player :o
As a Nadal fan, I can only salute Davydenko' s talent and career.
So happy for this man
His playing style was similar to Agassi's. He could rip his backhand at will.
Basically played Djokovic's game before Djokovic did. Defensive, but determined to stick to the baseline and apply pressure wherever possible.
Sadly he never quite seemed bothered enough to really go for slams; he loved playing lower level tournaments with high prize money and was very successful in those tournaments. The ATP finals he won showed he could mix it with the best when he wanted though.
yeah exaclty. Is like novak watched davydenko and hewit and say "I would do what they do, but also be a litle bit more offensive".
There you go, more efficient tennis player ever lol.
Nope Nope Nope .... Davydenko was not defensive. Novak is a lot more defensive.
Probably the cleanest ball striker ever.
*One of the best Backhands back then! Great player, no doubts!*
:)
7:45 I often prefer watching onehand backhand players more, but these two are exceptional
Thank you soo much i need this
If Agassi defined taking the ball early, this guy gave it a new meaning. Super dangerous player for everyone but prime Federer.
Great player. Thanks for the memories rewind 🙏👍
Давиденко это игрок из серии самых цепких.Стойкий оловянный солдатик! Любого измотает.
Davydenko is such a beast 🔥 insane groundstrokes
Great player, his and Nadal's matches were amazing
An amazing guy. The match against Federer in 2010 was very impressive :)
WHAT A PLAYER!
Good old times.
The new gen don't come even close as talented as the old guys like Nalbandian, Safin, Davydenko, Coria...
Don't you get tired of the same comments?
We get it grampa, you like the old days
Tennis right now is in a worse state than ever before.
Some might call it a weak era.
Coria🤣🤣🤣. Won 2 clay court masters in a weak era. What a choke that 2004 french open final was against a nobody.
@@chamindujanith6337 Weak era we have now, with a 35yo N1 and a 40 yo grandpa beating everyone like in their primes.

Everyone: *grows hair during puberty*
Davydenko: *becomes mega mind at age 13* 😂
I asked my coach when I was a kid how this guy is even in the top 5. He said consistency is a weapon too
No ... that was not his weapon. That is Nadal and Djoker's weapon - lack of consistency was Davy's weakness. Some days he would just be off and nothing would work. But once he got into the groove, every shot went in ... like a machine. His weapon was hitting the ball before the other player had even recovered from his last shot
And still, some people talk about weak era... when you had this guy Nalbandian and Roddick at their peak!!!
The compactness and how RIDICULOUSLY EARLY THIS PLAYER HITS IS eye 👁 candy 🍭
His backhand are different. .solid unbelievable angle
Me: One hand backhand is the best for angle !
Davydenko: 16:01 HOLD MY BEER !
i always feared when my favourite players played against davydenko. he's like a solid wall.
2:13 davydenko with the mic drop
Ballmanmachine. Un gran jugador Davydenko!
Wow! That drop shot on clay Vs Nadal 😮😮😮. Loved this Highlights reel!! Whose next?🙂
who you want?
This guy was so good. It's crazy how similar to Djokovic some of his shots and movements were
Yeah but he doesnt have the height
@Feed me a hammer and I will crap out nails. beacuse he has more height and weight, the game is pretty similar

7:26 calls for a Lord Gulbis compilation by Tennis TV 😂😂😂
He is still playing and has not retired still
Gran luchador uno de mis jugadores favoritos Por su personalidad y su entrega en cada partido.
Wow really impressive skills
The best era of tennis not only because of the big three but so many talented players with so different styles, davidenko, nalbandian, murray, gonzalez, safin, agassi, hewitt, roddick, etc
He would have had Agassi's accomplishments if he was from his era. The big 3 have made it so hard for guys like him.
Legend.
Holy Christ! This guy was a beast for his size.
These rallies seemed much faster paced than today's. Slower courts speeds have made for longer, dragged out slow rallies.
Maravilloso jugador, muy solido, crack de su tiempo
What can i say... incredible movement...and our icon like safin and federer...роста бы немного ему и подачу и он спокойно выиграл бы бш
Колян мощь!
Davydenko Nalbandian Berdych all top players who should maybe of won slams talented players
Ancic?
Mgo Umk not really sure knew he had a good game on grass
Gonzalez, Tsonga, Haas, Robredo, Soderling as well.
Gran jugador 💪🏼
Imagine davy born 1990+
He will be at least top 3 now 🙈
absolute performance... he was too early retired... that's so pity..
Clean hitting, the way he played down the line in both wings and the angles he could hit, were absolutely terrifying. Magnific player, maybe if he had a stronger serve and volleys he would have had many more titiles.
Uno de mis jugadores favoritos junto a Safin
Nikolai "Sputnik" Davydenko👌🎾
Federer was seemingly pissed losing just the first time in over 10 matches...
One ofy favourites. Really flashy player. Wish he could slide, he'd been even more efficient 🔥🔥
Dimitrove + berdych + Davydenko + nalbandian = they all deserve at least one grand slam = I think all of then never won grand slam
the courts were so fast back then
No they weren't ... you want to know fast look at the courts from 10 years earlier
5:07 lmao
The ref should have stopped the point after that scream
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!
How could you leave out some of his shots in Sopot 2007? He was playing inspired until his injury :(
Agassi vs Davy match looked like Agassi was playing his twin. Davy took the ball just as early with same efficient technique
If Davy hadn't collapsed that one match at the 2010 Aussie open he for sure would have won the title
Davydenko, Nalbandian and Todd Martin are my favorite players that never won a slam.
I watched Devydenko and Monfils on practice in Toronto before tournament started. ( 2008 or 2009 not sure) . Monfils couldn't win a single point from the baseline . Totally outclassed him.. and then he got injured and withdrew from tournament... ..to bad....
Yeah I Saw Davy pratcicing against Mathieu at a practice in Basel dunno which year 2008-2010? And he was like whole another level of coordination !
Davydenkos tennis is inspiring to me because I am his height
And white. So if he can do it I can do it.
Good luck man , as a teen I played his game and became 16th in Bulgaria (men's proffesionals rank) and have won a set agaunst the 800th bulgarian on the atp , got injured at age 17 and that's that

Yes fed had his measure, which is strange because his game wasn't that far from Nalbandian's .. but Davy had Rafa, Novak and pretty much everyone else's measure

What we have today is an over rated Breathovic with zero net skills and an over head worse than high school kids having five wimbledons because of these dead slow courts.
Bring back that fast old courts and we will get to see more of these Davydenkos and Gonzalez and Safins instead of over rated wannabe social media millenials and Egovic who is winning slams against 40 year old Uncles.
