Soy mexicano y hasta a mi se me salieron las lagrimas! Porque los latinos somos uno! Si gana un país latino ganamos todos hermanos!
Muy cierto. Pertenecemos a una gran familia. Saludos desde 🇵🇷
verdade!! 🇧🇷
Claro que si!
Puig's level was on another planet during these games. She steamrolled everyone until she met Kvitova in the SF and Kerber in the final, and played out of her mind against two of the best players in the world. This must be the biggest upset in tennis ever.
Finally I found the whole match, this is 2021 and I feel like it was yesterday, lots and emotions went out watching the game, Cried, screamed, I clenched my fist, like if I were the one who wins the point, thank you Monica for giving us this to all the latinamericans a gold medal. I´m from Mexico and I work in a WTA tournament in Monterrey and I saw Monica there and I have special atention to her because she´s the best latin player and represent us, after the olympics I´m still waiting to see her back to our tournament just to see how it feels to be close to a super woman like her. I love Monica as much as if I were a Puertoriqueño
Same, am watching before the final now
History for Puerto Rican Tennis, Monica Puig!
History for Puerto Rico as a whole. The country's first gold medal!
SHE IS AMAZING TENNIS 🎾 PLAYER!
@Anna Stoermer Wow.
Though GiGi Fernandes won olmpics gold and she is Puerto Rican. I d think she made the history despite the fact her gold medal was for US....
@@Andyyu24 Gigi's gold wasn't for Puerto Rico, also she rejets to play for our country back then because she says there was more opportunity to win with team USA. So for us, or at leats the most of us, the one and only first golden medal came's from Monica's. Nobody care for Gigi's personal success and the only thing that she made when Monica's win was trying to shade the moment claiming she (Gigi) was the first. What a selfish person!
Idc if she never wins another major...this will live forever for us
@Cj does it matter? This was history for PR. Don’t hate.
Don’t worry, she won’t! She’s still walking around hollering I won a gold medal then fell from earth. First round loses, having to qualify for 250’s and hanging with maria did nothing for her. Not even this year’s Olympics mentioned her as a former champion. My how the one hit wonder has fallen lol.
@@talismon63 it's better to have won and fallen to not have won at all. Some players put the Olympics at the top of their priority. Others don't care so much. I think it's huge and this win from Monica will be one of the most iconic Gold Medal 🏅 wins forever and more
@@cameronbedeau8542 To be honest nobody cares about one hit wonders. Blame should go to the top players like Kvitova and Kerber for playing below par against a non entity.
@Cj If you weren't hating, then why you wrote "Yikes"?
Monica caught the "Olympic spirit" during this tournament and took it all the way. I love it!!! This Olympics was filled with so many amazing moments!
OMG this match!!! I'm Puerto Rican and a tennis fan so this was everything!! But lets see it from a objective point of view from the tennis perspective and in the context of that championship . This was big, like BIG!! Monica was not suppose to be in this match but, against all odds she got there and won Olympic immortality. She defeated 3 Grand Slam Champions to get there (Muguruza, Kvitová and Kerber)! For example, Kerber was having one of the best seasons of her career, she just won Australian Open earlier that year and she was playing awesome. But Monica played like no one was expecting since the start of the Olympics and she was able to keep it going till the final, which is amazing for someone that has never been in a position like that!
Also the Olympics gave a different push that other championships, is every 4 years and it really is for your country and for passion. Even so is the Olympics in terms of ranking and to be a top player it really don't matter that much. The points they earn from playing is no more that what a medium size tournaments gave and no $$$. But is a dream that no other Grand Slam can offer, even Serena has said that winning the Olympics has been one of the biggest moments of her career. So yeah, we all cried when the heard the Borinqueña!
The Monica Puig that showed up to this match on this day was simply not going to lose. On this day she would have beat any champion that ever played the game.
I have NEVER seen MONICA PUIG play like this!! My goodness, TOTALLY mentally and physically Balanced!
She got INSIDE of none other than Angelique Kerber 's head and messed UP her mind.
MONICA played like a leftie, but with a RIGHT HAND! Angles, drop-shots, cornering Kerber & just at the perfect time switching the point in her favor AND THE SPEED OF THOSE FEET!
¡MUY BIEN HECHO BORIINQUENA! You do our PUERTORICAN HISTORY PROUD! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
We Puerto Ricans suffered and at the same time, enjoyed this great match so much. Our Monica did a great job. She never gave up, even at that second set. Kept fighting until the last point! Very proud of her performance winning our first Olympic gold medal 🎾🏅💪
Julio 2021 y aún sigue emocionando este partido. 🇵🇷🏆
Marzo 2022 y aquí reviviendo ese momento histórico para Puerto Rico! 😆🙂
WOW... what a match! Congrats Monica and Puerto Rico!
The power of the Olympics, to have an athlete go above and beyond any expectation. I remember watching her run and it's even more unbelievable thinking back to that week.
I can asure that this girl is in every Puerto Rican heart. She play for the country like no one other. I follow her in other events representing P.R and when she looses she cry with her heart, you can see that she really feel sorry for it. So when wins this, it was HUGE!
Sad to see people in PR criticizing her being unable to sustain that form since. Just think about that feeling she gave us all for those two magical weeks. That feeling alone is enough for a lifetime!
un día que nunca olvidaremos....Monica será para siempre una figura adorada en la isla...GRACIAS MONICA!!!
Congrats!! What a win! I’m not crying, you’re crying!!!
Hija de Borinken! Gracias por dejarnos escuchar nuestra hermosa Borinqueña en Brazil! Y por poner el nombre de esta humilde Tierra por todo los alto. De Puerto Rico para el mundo!! Gracias!
Awww I have searched for this match so many times! One of the best moments in tennis history!!! I was sooo happy for monica and I’m a Kerber fan.
Estuvo Increíble la "Portorriqueña " 😍 Mónica Puig dió la Campanada. 🔔
I didn't know who to support when I watched it, bcs im half German, half Puerto-Rican xD
Congrats Monica Puig
Te amamos Monica. Gran partido campeona. Esperamos verte fuerte en Tokyo. Un abrazo de admiracion desde Colombia. Que grande.
Gracias por tu apoyo! Los latinoamericanos somos hermanos!
@@jcrivera24 una pregunta solo por curiosidad, porque os consideráis hermanos en toda latinoamérica? En Europa (soy español) no nos vemos tan hermanos
@@josemunozsanz3760 El latino se distingue mucho por la forma de querer prosperar juntos y ayudarnos mutuamente entre todos para crecer juntos. Para mi, los que viven en países latinoamericanos son como hermanos ya que quiero verlos prosperar, echar hacia adelante, triunfar, vencer, que no les falte nada y que siempre tengan la oportunidad de alcanzar la grandeza y el reconocimiento ante el resto del mundo. Es un orgullo que compartimos juntos y no sé si la conquista española (aprox. 528 años atrás) tuvo que ver en ese efecto de la unidad entre los países latinoamericanos, pero entiendo que si eran unidos, ese evento los unió más. Eso es lo que siempre he pensado, si es 100% cierto, pues no lo sé realmente. Por mi experiencia, sí sé es que somos muy dados a ayudar a nuestro prójimo cuando vemos a alguien que está pasando por un muy mal momento y tratamos de dar lo mejor que podamos, con lo poco que tenemos, para levantar a quien vemos en el suelo. Todo esto es pura opinión personal.
Sure remember where I was when she won! She is struggling since. It doesn’t matter for true Puertorricans. She will always be in our hearts and in history! Love you Monica!
Monica, this one two punch with the serve needs to be back soon! Please rewatch this match.
Recuerdo cuando puse este partido en la tele, pensando que era obvio que ganaba Kerber, y al final que linda sorpresa! La emoción que sentí ese día, sin siquiera ser puertorriqueña, la vuelvo a sentir cada vez que veo esto... Que lindo!
Muchas gracias por tu apoyo!
A moment in history for us Puerto Rican’s 🙏🏻❤️
Класс! Привет из России ✌️
History baby!🇵🇷
Mónica ayer hoy y siempre
Mónica Puig, hoy veo nuevamente esta final, y me emociono enormemente con esta belleza Portorriqueña, que no se porqué no siguió avanzando a los primeros puestos del tenis mundial. La volví a ver, porque la encuentro comentando el Abierto de EE.UU. y quedo sorprendido. Soy un Argentino enamorado de esta portorriqueña hermosa y talentosa. Es una pena no verla en las canchas. Es muy jóven todavía, y obviamente habrá razones, pero lo lamento mucho.
Lamentablemente ella estuvo más de un año lesionada y pasó por varias operaciones. Este jueves 28 de abril, por fin se reincorpora a las canchas, en el Abierto de Madrid. Gracias por apoyarla.
she made a whole country proud way to go i would be emotional too her parent are achievers too
Monica’s career sadly never produced much after 2016, but she will forever have this incredible achievement to her name. What a truly incredible, historic performance this was.
I LOVE YOU MONICA YOU MADE US SO PROUD AS A PUERTO RICAN AMERICAN STAR AND A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW TALENTED WE ARE!!!! WELL DONE !
¡Sí se puede! ¡Sí se pudo! 🇵🇷🥇
This was one of the most exciting tennis matches I have ever watched
1,000 veces lo veo, 1,000 veces lloro
I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! TODAVIA NO LO PUEDO CREER!!!!!!! QUE BUENO QUE SOY PUERTORIQUENO!!!!!! TODAVIA ME PONGO SUPER MEGA CONTENTO QUE POR LA PRIMERA VEZ!!!!!! UNA ATLETA PUERTORIQUENA GANA LA MEJOR JUGADOR DE TENNIS!!!!!!! I AM VERY PROUD ABOUT THIS!!!!! I AM PROUD TO BE PUERTO RICAN!!!!!! FELICIDADES POR GANAR LA MEDALLA DE ORO!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MONICA PUIG FOR WINNING THE GOLD MEDAL!!!!!!
Merci d'avoir mis en ligne ce match magnifique, et avec une excellente qualité d'image.
Wanted to watch this match again after watching it live to see more objectively how Puig won. I'm really impressed by her level of play during this match. Too bad she never was quite able to play this way in the tour.
It's such a shame that the stadium was half empty for a women's final... I remember that day, there was that incredible semi-final between Nadal and del Potro beforehand and because you were only able to buy tickets for the morning or night session, many especially Argentinian fans left the stadium after that thriller... My whole family was in Rio that day and we wanted to cheer on Kerber, but because the night session was already sold out we weren't able to get in... what a shame
2021 y aun seguimo aqui’
Such a wonderful champion, a heart of gold! Thanks for posting!
Hermosa esa bandera🌺😍
A la verdad que lo vi hoy 21sep.2021. y me emocioné y lloré como el primer día. Arriba Mónica te amamos Puerto Rico
Nada que envidiarle a otras finales mas populares. Una de los mejores desmpeños femeninos de las últimas décadas. Bravo Moníca !
Alguien aquí viendo esto en el 2022 y aún siente la misma emoción ? 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Magnificent achievement from Monica Puig, she showed tremendous fighting spirit and fully deserved to win. Puerto Rico can be justly proud of her. All congratulations to you Monica!!!!!
From Germany, Monica deserves this! So proud of her!! 🇵🇷❤️
Octubre 2022. Recordar es vivir 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
2:01:28 Match Point 2:01:28
Thanks
Un país pequeño, ganándole a uno Grande!!! 💪🏻💪🏻🇵🇷😢❤️🤪
This young lady was carrying the banner for an entire nation starving for a gold medal. I always thought it would come from Boxing or Baseball. The more popular sport in P.R. It doesn’t matter what her pro tennis ranking was…She’s set for life and a Saint in my precious Island. Proud of my girl ❤
Angie Kerber was exhausted before even leaving for Rio. She played most of this match on adrenaline. She bounced back though to take the US open. ❤️
MOnica - A class act. Beautiful backhand crosscourt. Beautiful woman. Respect to Kerber.
First gold medal for Puerto Rico. Thank you Monica Puig. 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 🇵🇷
Proudly here in 2021 😍😍😍
🇵🇷 Gracias por todo Mónica! Que sigan los éxitos en todo lo que te propongas.
I SAW THIS ON TV!
CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏YOU ARE THE SECOND PUERTO RICAN WOMAN TO WIN GOLD FOR PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷YOU MAKE US PROUD !!!
she played soooo well it's crazy! she won gold!!!
My favourite all the time
Wonderful game, thank you Monica
Great match to watch in year 2021. Monica is a winner and Kerber is a fighter
Aqui ando llorando recordando este momento historicooqq
16:40 the ball was INSIDE the line. Bad line call against Kerber.
1:44:10 best point of the match.
She could've challenged the call and chose not to...
That one hurt...
Kerber hat SUCH a good season, an Olympic gold medal would have been great.
Unfortunately it was not meant to be :(
Too much pressure on her actually
She was outplayed.
Let's face it , this was like that TOTAL SPANKING SERENA GAVE so-called #1
sharapova @ the AO 2007
Final. SERENA WAS #81 & after TOTALLY humiliating
Pova, that fortnight she moved up to #14.
I like Angelique Kerber alot & her attitude, but MONICA PUIG could do no wrong.
@@sanctuary70 you don't have to disrespect pova for this yes she was number one but not good enough for great Williams.kerber clearly was nervous here otherwise she would have made it
She didn't win, because she should have played for Poland. Kerber is Polish. A Pole cannot play for German team.
SUPER Monica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2016 Rio olympic SF del potro vs nadal please...
2:06:33 aparte de que Puig ganara, este momento donde nuestra bandera con toda hermosura y emocion sobre sale me hizo llorar de alegria
Que emocionante , bravo campeona ❤️👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳
the most random winner ever in tennis history period. good for her for rising to the occasion. she had the tournament of her life.
Talk about peaking when it counts.
Monica Puig es nuestro orgullo.
Viendo en el 2022 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇵🇷
La más grande atleta de pr
Not even puertorican and her performance all the way down to the anthem made me cry…. This has to be one of the most David vs Goliath moments in any sport history.
I love the court!
2:01:54 - Puerto Rico for the Win 🎉🎉🎉
The “Phenomenal Monica Puig” making it into Olympic history records book for being the “First Olympic Gold Medalist In Tennis And Of The Whole Country Of Puerto Rico” but most of all... she’s unbelievably amazing for singlehandedly demolishing the two left-handed “Heavyweights” Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova!!!
Puig could win a gold medal in a beauty contest also, and by the way she looks European.
I cryed a lot
FELICIDADES A MONICA PUIG, TALENTO BORICUA, Y MUY HERMOSA!!!!!!!!!
Maybe men's double final'08? Federer/Wawrinka
Mónica Puig gave the Bell. 🔔
Congratulations for show us the olympic games of Rio de Janeiro 2016.
Can yours show us the basketball male final and swimming male and female finals?
Thanks a lot.
We have not seen Puig like this since sadly.
1:09:9 Power Puig Rally !!!!!! 🇵🇷
Monica, pon tu vida y futuro en las ma os del SEÑOR y EL te llavara de gloria en gloria y ďe victoria en victoria. Orgulloso de ti.
Grande Puig ❤❤
