Every day of him playing in the actual strong era ! I truly miss that decade. Pure attacking tennis. Pure shotmakers like Nalbadian, Soderling , Safin. Great players like Hewitt, Davydenko, Roddick and many more. This is the actual weak era of tennisnin which Luckovic is winning slams against 40 year old Uncle Roger and a bunch of social media kids.
@@along1298 I agree with you in a way but I think Del Po's forhand is too flat and he strikes mostly down the line but Fernando's dyagonals are rockets.
Triple medallista olímpico, doble campeón del mundo por equipos, número 5 en la época del big three (en su momento big four), finalista en Australia, una derecha reconocida como una de las mejores, sino la mejor de la historia según sus propios rivales, con los años valoraremos aún mas quién fue Fernando González en el mundo del tenis
Estaba pensando lo mismo, en la época del big 3 fué un tanque que es de los pocos que le ganó a los 3 y es de los máx ganadores olímpicos, eso le quita lo subjetivo a la opinión. Así uno opina con hechos, tangibles. Grande feña
It was a great Era for South American Tennis. We had Gonzalez and Massú from Chile; Coria, Gaudio, Nalbandian and Delpo from Argentina, Guga in Brazil and many other players scattered throughout the continent.
6:55 is the proof of what top players can do, the speed at which Fernando decide to go from the split step into his forehand to return the serve is astonishing. He hits it mid air, deep into the court with huge power, freaking insane.
@@oscarjara4911 you can hate all what you want Ríos but talent wise he is considered among the most talented players ever, not said by me, but by other top clases players. As a chilean I dont like him tho. What an arrogant and disrespectful fuck. Fernando was the greatest as a professional and off the court. Amazing guy.
I got his autograph at the Us open in 2007. Very nice to the fans, and he was surprisingly muscular for a tennis player. Very broad shoulders, I would guess over 200lbs.
Players like Gonzalez made the 90s and 2000s eras more interesting than the 2010-2019. These generations have more attacking shots than the 2010s gen imo
@@loichte6831 Thiem is like Gonzalez but if he traded some pure velocity for a lot more spin. That's not to say Thiem can't flatten out his shots, but he usually prefers putting lots of spin.
Yes till 2005 tennis was very interesting Davydenko, Safin, Gonzalez, federer & even nadal on clay Too bad they slowed every court surface for more rallies
Please bro González playing vs young Federer (a fucking machine) , Nadal in clay m1000 finals , and olímpic games final ... 2000 era , really hard ... Today Federer and Nadal still winning vs young era .... 38 and 34 years... Vs young players
Que gran jugador feña, muchos hablan de su drive que era genial, pero y su slice? Impresionante el uso estratégico que hacía del slice para abrir el juego y posicionarlo a su drive, un estratega feña, jugadorazo,lo seguía siempre. Saludos desde🇦🇷
Grande. Fernando. Un tenista. De calidad mundial. Número 5. Del mundo por mucho tiempo. . Rival temido. Y respetado. En circuito . Medallista olímpico. 2. Veces. .un gran Campeón...
The sound and brilliant shot making from Gonzo just reminds me of Rambo 3 the movie when John Rambo was winning the stick fight in the beginning of the movie. Power met with accuracy where every blow counts....
Great highlight reel. Missing the presence of any of the great shots to beat Nadal in the 07' Australian Open. One of the few matches that I've seen ever, where Rafa was completely beaten, and the best years of Fernando's career.
Typical fedtards bitching to get some validations.. You can put Benoit Paire clips here, and some ppl may get deceived that he's some grandslam winner. Every single players have their golden moments & shots! Don't be such a simpletons ffs
@@judyclarkson5887Benoit Paire as flashy as he is, never made it to QFs at all 4 Slams, has never been ranked in top 5 and has never made multiple Masters finals. Give credit where its due...
Best decade of tennis ever! It had Legends like Agassi, Sampras and Roger. Greats like Safin, Roddick, Hewitt. Monsters like Nalbadian, Gonzalez, Davydenko. Talented up and coming players like Nadal, Novak, Delpotro, Murray. One thing I have finally realized is that 2010-19 was the actual weak era of tennis in which Djokovic has encashed massively by beating 40 year old uncle Roger and a bunch of average players like Anderson and social media wannabe kids.
Gonzalez is just a shade below Rios as Chile's best male tennis player. Rios is a personal favourite in my opinion but Gonzalez can be argued to be Chile's best player
I'm not sure. Rios reached the number 1, but his career was short. Gonzalez and Massu won gold medals in the Olympics and their careers were more stable.
Gonzales con andy rodik daban tremendos expectaculos cada vez que se enfrentaban eran de esos partidos donde había demasiada potencia de sobra genial como se le extrañan
Agregale Blake, me parece que eran más parejos, Blake realmente se fastidiaba al ver tanta potencia en esa derecha, James Blake era de los pocos que por juego incomodaba de verdad Nadal al estar tan dentro de la cancha...
These terrific players just show us how competitive the so-called "weak-era" greatest Federer dominated. Kids look at Zverev, Tsitispas, or Medvedev and say they're better than the last generation, but the fact is Federer's generation was far more superior than today's.
Siendo objetivos la derecha de Del Potro era mas potente, pero es mas insipida porque era el medio pailon el wn, no necesitaba tanto esfuerzo, la del Feña era potente pero tenia un gesto tecnico de tiro ganador que la hacia mas exquisita.
Y el feña tenía la particularidad de muchas veces sacar esa derecha muy potente desde ángulos difíciles totalmente en contra y eran tiros ganadores sacaba puntos así en contra pie eso delpo no sería capaz de hacerlo Fernando agregaba a esa fuerza algo más de técnica que del potro y su revés también era algo duro Fernando es la mejor derecha del tennis aún el día de hoy es leyenda@@cristopherhenriquez4850
