Kuerten vs Muster 1997 Men's round 3 | Roland-Garros Classic Match 

The Roland Garros champion from the 4 previous years fell to Guga in his first French title run. Brugera (1993-94), Muster (1995) and Kafelnikov (1996). What a tournament for Guga

Amazing how nobody knew him before the match and in the end everyone was celebrating like he was already an idol! GUGA ❤

Fantastic! At that time brasilians practically didn't know tennis. After this edition of Rolan Garros, and during many years, Brazil stopped to watch Guga in his numerous ATP's finals. It was a passion as if it were the brasilian soccer team. Great Guga.

Under 1000 views? You gotta be kidding me, prime time entertainment

The way Guga played those last two games... fearless! He knew Muster wouldn't hand it to him and truly went for his shots.

5:13 Kuerten backhand on the rise winner & slow-mo replay. 6:59 beautifully disguised backhand drop shot winner from baseline. 8:10 perfectly struck backhand winner from about mid court on the rise. 8:36 another perfectly disguised backhand drop shot winner. 13:45 with his third stroke (backhand taken on the rise) Kuerten opens up the court and sets up the rest of the point (aggressive forehand from the mid court, half volley, and a forehand volley winner). 19:50 short ball taken on the rise for a backhand winner and struck about as cleanly and aggressively as a ball can be struck. 29:20 all balls taken on the rise, then advance to net with solid volley winner. 29:50 BEAUTIFUL backhand return winner.

Guga Kuerten es un grande, una leyenda del tenis mundial, un fuera de serie. Larga vida Gustavo Kuerten.

25:47 one of the most beautiful shots i've ver seen. Thanks Guga for making me fall in love with tennis

My God I love watching these two brilliant baseliners battle it out with their awesome single-handed backhands...such elegance & beauty!!

Eu não sei dizer quantas vezes eu já vi esse jogo completo, só sei que todas as vezes que eu vejo me emociono como se fosse a primeira. Obrigado, Guga!

Certainly one of the most important matches of Guga's career. Muster was his toughest opponent this whole tournament, well the toughest opponent you could possibly face on clay in the mid 90s overall, especially in Bo5 Matches, and this match is in the end what made him the player he went on to be.

See the difference of people behaviour, the most of them were on the side of Kuerten because Kuerten inspired friendship, he seemed the guy of the front door house. Great player and pleasant boy, i miss the brasilian in today tennis. Greetings from Rome Italy

In winning this tournament, Kuerten beat THREE French Open champions. I haven't looked it up, but I'm guessing that has never been done before.

This match was ahead of its time.

Some people often forget/are not aware how great some tennis players were before The Big Three. It's almost as if only The Big Three know how to play first-class tennis. Gustavo Kuerten was on the same level as any of the Big Three, on clay that is, although, to be honest, probably not on Nadal's best level on clay.

Only legends know how epic that game was.

Ate hoje me emociono quando assisto essa partida e outras em RG. Impressionante o que ele fez na carreira dele. RG foi a cereja no bolo. Valeu Guga!

C'est le Roland-Garros le plus marquant de ma vie. Quand il a battu Muster je savais qu'il gagnerait le tournoi, il jouait comme sur un nuage, il passait tout ce qu'il voulait. Un grand moment de grâce ce tournoi pour Kuerten qui était encore un inconnu du grand public, classé 64eme ATP😇

Would be great to see Guga's other matches from the three times he won, particularly against Kafelnikov and Ferrero. 😊

People who think that thiem invented open stance one handed backhand should watch guga once.

Please make: Federer vs Haas 2009 Djokovic vs Murray 2015 Nadal vs Mathieu 2006 Thiem vs Gaston 2020

J' ai pas connu Kuerten mais pour moi c'est une légende de RG ❤️

Quel petit chef d'oeuvre de montage cette video! Donne vraiment le feeling d'un match de grand chelem a RG. Bravo au monteur, et merci!

Kuerten's backhand was on fire!!

Amazing win. Guga, one of my favourite players of all times.

Great great game epic!!! Guga Kuerten's one handed Backhands The best of ALL times!!!!!!

A star is born

As the most famous Austrian of all time said , "I will be returning"

This channel is doing a good job by using geo-restrictions for the recently uploaded 2020 Final- The Film. Good going . Keep it up.

Kuga is my favourite player of all times. He is such a sunny boy.

Increíble que no haya visto antes este partidazo, dos de los mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos..m

I remember being a kid and watching this match, I don't know why I was drawn to watch it. I really like Guga, maybe his clothes and style made me cheer for him, a few years later I understood that it was purely charisma, he was the most charismatic tennis player for me. Great backhand, I only saw Wawrinka as someone at the same level of backhand. I didn't remember the match being so hard. I remember well the 2001 final because I was older... anyway, I miss Guga.

Quite possibly the coolest guy ever to win a Slam. Maybe Borg, then Guga. Either way, Guga is a legend. His wins at RG were really impressive.

I'm firmly of the opinion that Rafa is the greatest claycourter of all time, and would be in any era (except maybe vs Borg with a wood racket)....but I'm also of the opinion that he wouldnt have 13 french open titles if he had to go through Guga, Muster, Bruguera, etc.

I remember that year being a fairy tale run for Gustavo Kuerten. What a player! Love that he always has a smile on his face (except perhaps when he's playing ).😊

G.K.. What A Stat Never Won A Match at R.G Before 1997.. Another Crazy Stat.. Since da Turn of The Century To Date .. May 31th - 2023 Only 8 ATP - Players Have Won French Open.. Rafa ( 14 ) Guga ( 2 ) Novak ( 2 ) Gaston Caudio ( 1 ) Juan Carlos ( 1 ) Stan ( 1 ) Roger ( 1 ) Albert Costa ( 1 )..

Guga, very proundy brazilian people have you!

Grande Guga‼

Grande Guga lembro de assistir vários jogos dele, jogou muito na sua epoca

I love how Muster looks 45 while he’s 29 here.

And a legend was born..

Estou em Dezembro de 2021 e revivendo as vitórias lendários desse nosso grande ídolo e herói, Gustavo Kuerten. Mas só pra não perder a oportunidade....vcs viram no minuto 33:58 quando o Guga vai cumprimentar o Rafa, irmão dele? Guga aponta pro Rafa, mas uma mulher, sem noção, acha que é com ela e faz o mesmo gesto. Depois Rafa passa por ela e ela entendeu que Guga não tava falando com ela... kkkkkk rindo muito aqui.

Guga, the best legend. He came to Roland Garros, nobody there knew him and.... He won. For me he will always be the best, and he is a so great person.

I remember the days when Muster was a BOSS on clay.

The man that mad Poly string a must!

Id like to see Kuerten x Medvedev epic 5 sets in 4th round

Court nº1 has been removed since but it was the best ever. Even bottom price seat holders could stand at the rail just behind the players. Guga sooo deserved this win, he was one of the most charismatic players to grace the French Open winner list

4:52 What backhand!

It´s exciting, even today, to see the fantastic "manezinho da Ilha" having fun at Roland Garros. Eternal Guga!

I would like to see in youtube Gustavo Kuerten vs Michael Russel in Roland Garros 2001. Thanks.

Jogão; Guguinha meteu o loco nesse RG. Tinha 3 anos de idade

Guga is a better claycourter than Federer and Djokovic 👍

O primeiro set foi um espetáculo de Tênis, como o Guga jogava solto Dios

Oh such an elegant and flexible Guga looking a lot like Roger actually. Muster was an austrian peasant, brute and pumping all the time like a freight train :) he didn't last much.

Dear Roland Garros, I ask again: please do Federer vs Gulbis 2014 / Federer vs Haas 2009. please

Can you do thiem vs schwartzman please!

Increíble que nunca haya visto este partidazo antes!! Dos gigantes de las canchas...

i remember this match. i hoped Thomas would win another RG. but along came Guga.

Pessoal nao parou de aplaudir ele no final do jogo , ate ele sair da quadra

Guga's run here was insane, only amplified by The Best Outfit of any champ from '96-06.

ORGULHO

Great match and nice to see Muster showing respect at the handshake.

Gran partido de Guga... tal vez ganarle a Muster (el mejor de la época en clay) le hizo dar cuenta que estaba en un momento altísimo... lo plasmó al ganar el torneo... Gran partido de ambos... La potencia de Guga y su desparpajo sobrepasaron al gran austríaco... Un partido para enmarcar...

So incredible!!

An Inside Scoop: Muster was complaining about the Stringing Weight of his rackets, didnt feel comfortable, so for the 5th set he ordererd new strung rackets, but in the end never did use them. I talked to his old stringer and he still thinks, it was a big fault of Muster continuing to play with the softer strung Rackets.

Germanic efficiency vs Brazilian flair .... just as in football.

Very strong backhand, great Kuerten

Guga, the prince of clay.

Dos de los mejores arcilleros de la historia

La historia nos privó de ver un choque entre el mejor Guga Kuerten y Rafael Nadal. Hubiera sido épico! yo creo que el mejor Guga le hubiera sacado varios RG a Nadal. Ustedes que creen?

Ca alors. Qu'est ce que le public s'est regale. The crowd was going nuts with these two offensive 1-handed BHs. So much quality and intention there.

Em 2022 ainda uma aula!

3:4 5.Satz🙈 was spielt Kürten gegen einen heissgelaufenen Muster da? Absolute Weltklasse! Das war gegen diesen Thomas Muster auch nötig Hammer-Match und klasse das Turnier durchgezogen

改めて見て、クエルテンのバックハンドはスゲぇ～～

Guga looks very young when he was young

Some suggestions: Nadal vs Isner 2011 R1 Fognini vs Montañes 2011 R4 Giustino vs Moutet 2020 R1 Schwartzman vs Thiem 2020 QF Nadal vs Soderling and Federer vs Haas 2009 R4

My favorite.. marie Pierce love vou..

Brilliant match

Qu'est ce que c'est lent, j'avais oublié ?

One of Muster's problems, in my opinion, is that he gave his opponents too much pace. It made him look powerful, but the opponent could often use Muster's pace against him - as Guga did here. That's why varying pace works.

ALLEZ GUGA!

Fantástic!!!!! o Guga é nosso!!!!!

Great match

Quem aí está lendo o livro do Guga?

You cannot not fall in love with Guga, He's wearing a 25$ watch when today's players Wearing watches from 10G to 1.5M

What racquet was Thomas Muster playing with during this match? I thought he was a Head Pro Tour 630 guy like Guga Edit- NVM it is the PT630 in a paintjob of some sort... you can tell by the CAP grommets

Muster = Nadal with 1-handed backhand.

Kuerten's backhand was fantastic over the last several games of the 5th set. Muster would have beaten almost anyone else playing the way he did.

The austrian wasn't meant to dance the samba... What a fantastic player was Kuerten...

whole match please

What a match!!!!

Al final el público aplaudiendo de pie como con los grandes toreros

Whats not to like about guga, great player and an all around nice guy, and im an agassi and sampras fan

Upload some Nadal classic Roland garros matches

Mentally thought, coming back after losing the first set.

Guga would have killed Nadal if they were playing in the same era and Guga remained healthy

Muster was my 2nd favorite player after Agassi.

😮‍💨😭😢😥 The last Match from Thomas Muster in Paris 😮‍💨😭😢😥 Then he ended his career. It was his last match at Roland Garros.😮‍💨😭😢😥

It was on a friday....
