This is the best slam ever. Kuerten played so beautiful you couldn't tell if he was dancing or playing tennis. What a perfect first tournament to win for Guga! Beating Muster, Medvedev and Kafelnikov on his route to final! My best tennis memory! Thank you GUGA!!
That’s quite a road , then bruguera !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of the biggest shocks in tennis history. Kuerten came from absolutely nowhere to win the 1997 French Open. He beat three former champions en route. Muster, Kafelnikov and Brugera
It was like yesterday.....I miss these years.
Couldn't believe how well his one handed bh held up so well above the shoulders.
Great comment thanks. Yes so true I was thinking the same, I think his (lateral back) placement makes it easier but also there must be something on the racket motion that helps too but it's unseen from thus camera angle. I have a player who struggles with that enormously.
When you're 6'3 you can handle those shots a lot easier.
For Consistency, versatility and dependability in adversity Guga had the greatest one-hander in tennis history hands down
It's so funny to see the love for it now, when top tier professional analysts said their was way too much swing (off both sides) to have success with it on faster surfaces.
Guga’s height and quite extreme backhand grip made it easier to hit those high balls

Kuerten was unbeatable on the final
So good!!
Guga was a clay courter willing to come to the net... which was unheard of at the time
It’s unheard of now
Fortunately Guga, Ferrero, Moya have changed the classical high, slow clay playstyle.
There was NEVER a time when clay counters weren't willing to come to the net.
Yannick Noah was one. I couldn't figure that guy out: great serve, great volley, but dismal on grass and brilliant on clay.
Not sure it was much more unusual but we even see Bruguera do it here. But Guga was like the super early prototype for players like Alcaraz, very athletic and powerful with an all court game, with Guga having more net rushing but similar spin and shot speed to someone like Nadal
Kuerten backhand is soooo goood.
Tênis e esporte e enganadores um grande ilusão de mágicos e mágicas mesmo mais do Futebol melhor Esporte que existe.
MONSTRO!!
Bruguera just didn't have the weapon on his serve like Guga, so every point Bruguera played on his serve was like twice as hard to win and hold serve. Bruguera was smart to change it up and start attacking the net some, but too little too late. It's almost like watching two generations play, the new power baseline generation and the older 90s generation that contained many styles but none so overwhelming with so much so power and spin from the backcourt. It's almost like Bruguera is playing with an inferior racket or something. It's really pronounced.
who could beat kuerten that day...no one could have done that..even borg nadal or novak..bruguera said that match anyone could have beaten kuerten as he said he played all the match 2 metres behind the line that was impossible to catch the balls of kuerten he send..as he comented the balls of kuerten were fast down the clay without spin it means anyone could have catched those valls that day day
@@luisgonzalezalvarez1596 Rofl. Nadal is the best Clay courter. That Nadal wouldnt have beat him is bollocks. Nadal 2008 had the most dominant run in FO history. He would have trashed Kuerten too.
the roland garros that nadal won nothing to compare with roland garros of courrier ..kuerten..bruguera..thomas muster ..look behind the sweedish sorlinden with powerful crossed ball that nadal coundn't catch like kuerten and muster he send nadal on the clay you dont remeber that match...the players that nadal won look at well alcaraz beat them now this contendent scores...if you tell me dominic thiem..gasper ruud were serious contendents against him as spanish I can tell you sergi bruguera would have beaten them as well ..believe me
@@luisgonzalezalvarez1596 Severe bullshit. Nadal did in the era of the big three, Federer alone would have won several Roland Garros titles back in the day, Kuearten was a powerful player who made clay specialists like Bruguera look ordinary. Federer is an upgrade on Kuerten and Nadal would have obliterated him. Especially because its a bad matchup for Kuerten lefty Forehand vs one handed backhand= No chance for Kuerten.
sure federrer would have won many roland garros without nadal..here you understood and why...federrer has been beaten in three sets by kuerten in 2004 who were not the same in front of bruguera..look alex corretga gave a lesson to federrer in 2001 in roland garros the same in three sets after been beaten by kuerten not a big kuerten..it means kuerten to 90 percent was unbeatable...check a spain brasil cup davis who kuerten has destroyed carlos moya and juan carlos federrer the first match and then won the secon double match and then beat carlos moya..he gave to brasil 3 points in three days..waht they said in spain any player could have played three matches following and beat in spain two players that won roland garros like carlos moya and juan carlos ferrero big specialists on clay at that time ..if you know spanish read it
Podia ter colocado o último game completo né?
WTA forehands these 2 players have. I love it. Just goes to show that WTA forehand isn’t inferior. It depends on the player and the kind of game he/she has.
Lembrando que isso é em 97 né mano kkkkkk n tem como comparar o forhand da ATP com a WTA
Absolutely! I don't know why that "WTA" label has been deemed "bad". 3 of the biggest men's forehands ever would currently be categorized as "WTA" - Del Potro, Gonzalez, and Soderling. As an older tennis player, there is no way I could just all of the sudden try to hit the ball like Kyrios, Sock, etc... I mean - is that really the future of the forehand? Maybe for pros, but the majority of the tennis players in the world are mere mortals who play at a club level. lol
@@wendellroden7037 exactly! 99% of the people who say they have an ATP forehand or feel the need to learn it are playing at the recreational level or don’t even play any match whatsoever. I doubt they also have a true ATP forehand. Who are they fooling? Their “ATP forehand” will not lower their unforced errors or help them hit a clutch winner at 4-all in the 3rd. And the coaches who teach the ATP forehand to their students are just as delusional if they think the ATP forehand shot they’re teaching will make a difference at the =< 5.5 level that their students are playing at
Logo nos primeiros games, dava pra ver na expressão do Bugrera, que ele sabia que não tinha a menor chance.
O ultimo ponto ele simplesmente acaba com a tortura.
Oh man. Sergi's righty Andres Gomez serve. LOL. Love it.
2 clay court legends
Una differenza impressionante di velocità di palla...
When you look back, you see how level was far from nowadays where it's pushed as extreme limits for speed, intensity, strength & precision. Here it looks as training trankill. It's crazy.
In that day wind was blistering. Even today it would be hard to have fast paced rallies in those conditions. Check Kuerten x Muster in that same year to see the kind of pace of today’s tennis.
You are seeing the player that changed it, Kuerten.
As Jean Paul Loth so aptly said: "He has the ham"....MDR the guy destroyed players twice like him, for example Thomas Muster the Australian who was a physical phenomenon with his heart at 45 beats and who ended up flat like a tire......This guy is a TITAN
Muster was from Australia?
@@niceguy1774 He is Austrian, sorry and well seen!!!
@laurentlegendre7730 I didn't know that either, so thanks. Always though he was German.
Swiss cheese muster?
Qual a empunhadura do forehand que o Bruguera usava?
J'adorais Sergi, mais là, il a pas existé. Un tournant dans le jeu sur terre battue venait de s'effectuer.
Aucun tournant puisque le lift de Nadal a gagné 13 fois . La balle de Bruguera en 1997 allait beaucoup moins vite qu'avant . Il était sur le déclin.
@@nicolasdieul6978 ce n'est pas qu'une question de lift, mais aussi d'intensité et de mouvement sur le court.
Le jeu de Bruguera reposait beaucoup sur l'usure physique de l'adversaire, moins sur les coups gagnants qu'on est capable de générer à tout moment. Guga en cela préfigurait le tennis auquel on assiste, un athlète capable de supporter le lift et de l'annuler par la puissance qu'il imprimait à l'échange. Sans parler des amorties qui ont vraiment mis à mal tous les rameurs de fond.
I'm still not sure if Guga had the faintest idea waht he was doing. He just did everything right
Sergi had his options in the second set 4-4 and 15-40. If he had won this game, he could have served for the match. But Guga was like a beast, even the luck was with him (many balls touched the net and fell on Bruguera's side)
What on Earth are you talking about? "OptionS"? Plural? He had chances to break in one game, but he would not have been serving for the match.
How? Kuerten won the first set, and even if Brugera were up 1 set to 0, it's still the best of 5.
Could have served for the set, you mean
Is it playing slower than normal? Lazy stuff
Bruguera always seemed as if he was totaly out of strenght, like a disguise....
Cant believe Bruguera won this tournament before. This match was easier than the first round for Guga.
Courier blew it and now he’s never mentioned becuse of it
Bruguera is an ATG claycounter. You can believe wtf you want but you know nothing about tenis.
5:04 is seem like Bruguera has no confidence in his longline Backhand!
How boring Bruguera was. Fortunately, clay tennis is not this way any more. Thanks Guga, Moya, Ferrero and Nadal for the upgrade in clay Tennis.
It’s a matter of personal preference, but I thoroughly enjoy the long battles of attrition. You must earn it. No easy points. It takes endurance, determination, patience and skill.
How is Bruguera boring ?
@@geraldleuven169 Absolutely boring playstile to me. "Ladrilleros" wey calle them un Argentina, something like "clayer".... Meaning they have developed a high, slow playstile.
@@vivalapatria3740 Interesting! I think variety in tennis is great so hopefully we see a few more ladrilleros emerge
@@vivalapatria3740 these players are also known as pushers, another example was Lleyton Hewitt.
I could say in that match nadal or novak would have done noting like bruguera who played all the match almost 2 metres behind the line
RUclips global good morning good night
I didn't realize that both players have WTA forehands.
so WTA plays with 3000 rpm?
Kuerten had a very powerful forehand to go along with his famous backhand.
WTA 😂😂😂😂 You dib
@@thebigmonstaandy6644 really you’ve measured the rotations per minute of his forehand or is that just your inaccurate assessment based on your ignorant and misogynistic attitude towards female tennis players.
@@Plewina I’m glad your small minded opinion is adding so much value to this discussion. Please explain what dib means based on the regional area you grew up in.
It looks like Bruguera’s serve was kinda weak
This is clay tennis. Not what we’ve witnessed this last 14 years.
LOL Bruguera's strokes suck so much... Only defense pfff
Brugu has No firepower in his forehand
El gran guga vs la mentira bruguera
