Part of Second Set Tiebreak
tennis highlights(made by me) 1998 US open set 5 highlights Pete Sampras(1) vs. Patrick Rafter(3) Alot of short 1-2 kinda points, naturally because both of them use the serve and volley style of play. Rafter would go on to the win this US open by beating Mark Philippoussis in the Finals
Video Rating: 5 / 5
I am a great fan of Steffi, but I have to say Gaby played beautifully this day. Enhorabuena, Gaby !
la génétique n’ a pas de problème avec Charly
THE BALL WAS CALLED IN WHILE IT WAS CLEARLY OUT. THEY SHOULD MEET AGAIN TO REPEAT THE SERVE!
@kingcobra76 i think so too…her demeanor confuses people
Ouf, enfin, 1 victoire de prestige qui propulse au rang de ” heroe” a waoman who .I am too happy for the child !
Qué manera de sufrir con sus partidos! Te seguí en todos. También en este. Maradó, Maradó!
I will always love GABY!
TE AMO GABY.
@darkmaxuy jejejeje
@kingcobra76 I concur. Plus, she was one of the players that played the most events/tourneys during the year. She was also a great mover and she was fit as hell.
I find those claims about laziness totally unfair.
5-16-2010. Lordy, lordy, look who’s 40. Happy Birthday, Gabriela.
At 1:18 it seems Gaby says “puta!”. Hahahahh. I lament this is the only grand slam she won. I loved her very much.
Gabriela was my favorite by far! I loved everything about her. Her style, her grace, her sweetness,
She never said anything bad about anyone. Back then most female players always gave credit to the competitor when they lost. Some of the players today don’t do that.
Re cagada estaba la Steffi jajajaj,
Oops I discovered a mistake: What I meant to say was: How I LOVED to watch Sabatini play! Not ONLY because of her beauty and her gaming style…etc. (I’ve forgotten to type “ONLY” )
really!
a fortiori, the best player of the 90′S for a consecration of “the Mystic” gabriela. All in elle was mysterious in the émotion of the end of this parts; conquérir un Trone n’ est pas sans dilemne : les impots finissent toujours par vous tomber dessus !
I love Steffi. However, she was 10-10 against Navratiova. By the time Steffi reached her prime Martina was 30 years old. You can’t compare.
Sabatini was the wowan that beat graff on most times with 11
statistics don’t lie,but statistics dosen’t say about talent,best hand back,gracefully,love by peopleand much more,for me Gaby one of the best tennis players,she was unique.
sabatini is class
How I LOVED to watch Sabatini play! Not because of her beauty and her gaming style, but really, every movement she made on the court was like a dance or ballet. Every movemnet she made, from servs to her famous “dropshots” they were all gracefully excecuted…Wow! What a woman! No other female has ever moved and (I guess) will never move like Sabatini…because everyone is unique…
The statistics don’t lie: when you look at Graf’s career record of 22 slam singles titles, one grand slam in 1988, 8 years as #1, each slam won at least 4 times, you have to conclude Steffi Graf is the greatest woman player of the open era.
la mejor tenista de todos los tiempos la admiro graff de colombia yamid
In 2003 and 2008, Tennis Week ran features identifying the greatest women tennis players of all time by objectively comparing their career statistics. The result?
“The statistics don’t lie: when you look at Navratilova’s career record of 167 titles, 18 Grand Slam singles titles and an incredible domination of women’s tennis over a five-year period, you have to conclude Martina Navratilova is the greatest women player of the Open Era.”

Last great serve and volley players.
@LizBen77 who gives a flyin fuck about what u prefer
Rafter is the reason i started to love tennis…
It’s not the players fault, but In my own opinion, the best tennis players are able to win on all 4 surface speeds : Very Fast ( Wimbledon ), Medium Fast ( US Open ), Medium ( Australian Open) , Slow ( French Open ). Those categories simply don’t exist anymore and the competition is one-dimensional now … baseline orgy.
Unfortunately, in today’s tennis era, because of the surface modifications, it’s not possible to see the best tennis out there. By slowing down the surfaces at Wimbledon and US Open, the two fastest surfaces, they have basically eliminated serve & volley from the circuit and cut the competition in half.

Actually its all that INCLUDING more aggressive play. He said himself that he’s playing more confident, consistent AND aggressive in a many interviews LoL. I can see it when he plays, simple as that. He’s not my favorite player either … I have always liked him and he has ALWAYS been a more aggressive player than Nadal though, even when he wasn’t No. 1. Once again my comment was mainly to show that while Nadal was No. 1 in the world I still didnt prefer his defensive style.
@splendid1000 Djokovic has been winning matches this year mainly on the consistency of his groundstrokes and level of defence, not on his attacking ability. He attacks against Nadal far, far more than against any other opponent. He’s a nightmare match-up over Nadal. You’re saying that now because Djokovic is winning more. Anyway, you’ve made yourself very clear. Bye.
@splendid1000
And i’m not saying Rafter was over-emotional or too dramatic, he was actually pretty well mannered on the court. Like I said before, my comment was really just to make a point about quality tennis over drama and was aimed at those criticising Sampras and not so much an attack on Rafter. I actually loved watching Rafter play as well. Sampras, Agassi and Rafter were my favorite players at the time, along with a few others.
I only threw the stats comment out there to show that I personally prefer quality tennis over drama. I dont really care if a player yells and screams and throws his racket around, that means nothing to me. Anybody dedicated enough to train and play a sport as hard as Sampras did, or any player on the tour really, is full of emotion and passion for the sport, otherwise they wouldn’t be where they are. Some just don’t have to put on a dramatic play to show it. They use a tennis racket instead.
A lot of people DO favor the player who wins more. Not solely because on paper he has more wins, unless you’re playing Fantasy Tennis or you really are a ‘my player is better than yours’ type of person, but because often times the player with more wins plays better tennis and that’s what a lot of people like to watch. For me that’s not always the case though. Nadal has more slam wins then Djokovic for example, but I prefer to watch Djok cuz he plays more aggressive than Nadal, at least recently.
@MaratSafinVideos
Sorry but I DO happen to favor one player ( Sampras ) over Rafter and NOT because I’m a bandwagon fan, but because he played the best tennis at the time and that’s what I like to watch. I liked watching Rafter too, dont get me wrong, but Pete was more exciting and athletic. I don’t do the ‘ my favorite player is better than yours ‘ game lol … I just like to watch the best tennis available and Sampras was the best . Rafter’s style was anything but unpredictable btw.
@splendid1000 Sorry but when you’re watching tennis at the very highest level, you’re not going to naturally favour one over the other because he’s winning more matches, unless you’re a glory hunter who wants to use the ‘my favourite player is better than your favourite player; card. There were far more entertaining players out there than Sampras. Just because they were less consistent doesn’t make them any less entertaining. I love unpredictability.
Sampras came across as arrogant from time to time as a counter attack against people who called him emotionless, etc. He let people know that he does his talking on the court ( something most other players couldn’t do ). Tennis is entertainment and I prefer to watch the best tennis out there … that’s why I preferred to watch Sampras. If I wanted to watch a couple ‘ nice ‘ guys play tennis I would have gone and watched the seniors league at the courts down the street every Saturday lol.
@MaratSafinVideos
Wow man, you almost made me tear up there for a second. Oh wait no, those are tears of laughter haha. You know what’s even more hilarious ? People thinking they know a player personally from watching them play tennis on tv and a couple post match interviews ( usually after a match they just won ) where they cater to fans and sponsors … You know … the people that sign their paychecks lol. All of the real greats have come across as arrogant ( confident ) at times.
@splendid1000 What ??? So you prefer one player over another based on success? Hilarious.
And there’s no doubting Rafter’s a better guy. Rafter’s always seemed like a warm, genuine and funny guy whereas Sampras, though I don’t dislike him, has always come across as self righteous and quite arrogant.
@MaratSafinVideos
What ??? I just explained how it does … lol. The initial conflict was that they preferred Rafter over Sampras because they saw Rafter as less of a jerk and more emotional than Sampras. My counter comment indicated that I prefer Sampras because he was simply a better player ( head to head record and ‘ grand slam tally ‘ ). I then explained that Sampras wasn’t as much of a jerk as they may like to think ( closing sentence of first comment). Get all that ?
@splendid1000 So you’ve basically just admitted that the grand slam tally means nothing in terms of the initial conflict. Yep, bitter.
@MaratSafinVideos
They were trying to say they prefer Rafter over Sampras because Sampras was a ‘ jerk ‘ and ‘ emotionless ‘. I prefer 14 grand slams over a rock star and then I went on to explain why Sampras may have appeared to be a jerk to Rafter. This is really getting boring. Peace out.
@splendid1000 What does grand slam titles have to oppose this fact?
@MaratSafinVideos
Nah, my original comment was a response to the people saying Sampras was a jerk.
@splendid1000 It’s evident that you’re for whatever reason completely bitter about the result of this match.
Not to mention Sampras was hurt in this match lol.
@emiltsuimunsang
Yes, when you slow down all the courts serve and volley does become less effective. But boring ? No lol. 30 rally baseline fests with no variety is boring.
@MaratSafinVideos
Huh ? You asked me if I was bitter … I explained why I wasn’t bitter … I’d say it’s completely relevant lol.
@splendid1000 So relevant in this video.
okay immediately after observing in which both equally users require greater participate in dialling as well as making decisions.
