He Made Federer and Djokovic Look Amateur! (Tennis Greatest Magician) 

Yes, he had a very orthodox way of playing that annoyed the best. Funny story: l met him when he was starting his professional career at the Nice tournament and asked him for an autograph because he looked like a tennis player and lots of them just used to hang out. He was kind of shy and surprised l asked him. I also asked a random player that ended up winning the tournament and make a name for himself. Sorry totally forgot his name. End of 80’s beginning 90’s.

Neither the 7 victories on the great Marat Safin (for 9 Head to Head)

classic

Could aid in his creativity out there. I can tell you in undergrad I ate a couple caps and had people stopping and staring at the shit I was hitting. Swinging topspin volleys and shit it was crazy. #Notsustainable LOL

he cant look like david, only david can look like him (younger).

Most fans of the big 3, who whine with excuses whenever their beloved stars are beaten think they love tennis, but honestly IMO it’s the journeymen who are unique who show us how much variety of play style and tactics is actually possible in this most beautiful of sports. They make the sport richer, and give it its soul! It’s sooo nice to see different players and styles…

Spot on! The truth is stranger than fiction.

Merci!

Exactly. Santoro vs Safin was a very entertaining matchup because Safin was all about power and shotmaking, whereas Santoro was all about finesse and "toying" with his opponents. Complete contrast of playing style. Everyone used to talk about Federer vs Nadal when it came to complete contrast of playing style, but to me Santoro vs Safin was a better example.

Yes..always caused nightmares to Marat

Fabrice can still write on his CV: Defeated Federer und Djokovic 😊

Not exactly. His forehand grip still was a right handed forehand though he would let go often to make it look like it was a lefthanded slice. Look at his forehand in slow motion and you see he has a cross grip on it. It really is unique. I say this because while I am right handed, I play tennis with a lefty two-handed backhand and a righty two-handed backhand.

@@ianhastings8165 I think Seles did the same thing.

Agassi 3-3 wtf. That comparison is so much more telling given they're only 3 years apart. Thanks man

Did not know that he split with Agassi

@@muriloborges9481 I think he split with Sampras as well. He was actually a good player

more than you could ever do..

I think he is even shorter

Both were top 10 players then sooo

@@xxxxxxxx8634 right, because the player's ranking is directly correlated to the opposition level of his opponents

I dunno, 2007 Djokovic was pretty real and established very quickly as a top 3 player. And correct me if I'm wrong but 2002 Federer made his first MS final in Miami and then won his first MS in Hamburg and the next year he won his maiden slam at Wimbledon. Both of them were already becoming very good and in the top 10.

Bad excuse..

Apprezza Santoro e basta: è arte che nobilita il gioco del tennis. Mille volte meglio lui che un robot monotono come Djokovic

Sense of humor: 0 Cringe: 100

Of course he fixed it, he knew he didn't have a chance of winning 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks man! It's the only thing available in the entire internet unfortunately

Nadal won Madrid before it went to clay in 2005 lol casual

@@SJ-di5zu yes against Ivan not Federer. I don’t even think Federer played Madrid in 2005.
