Bruguera definitely not a joke. Actually won French again in in '94, beating Courier in the semis, then was a legit threat to 3-peat in '95 before getting taken down by Chang in the semis.
Huge speeches :-) (i'm french). Too bad we don't see the whole 5th set and especially those 2 or 3 consécutive rallies when bruguera finally went over courrier that day. Big final anyway - only the 2004 one reached that suspense ever since. Anyway Thanks for the vid.
destroythebody Lol I remember I cried when Jim lost the final.He made a lot of fault after leading by 2/ 0 in the fifth set.Too bad he lost this final.I was a huge fan of him : he used to be a great player and a wonderful guy.
Lisa, I'm not sure Jim was a "wonderful guy." Wonderful guys don't hit the ball at the chair umpire, or, shake the umpire's chair, or, hit/damage the umpire's chair, or, chastise the ball kids, etc., etc.
30:30 courrier: "Last year i talked like a spanish cow" (about his french,. He talked in french) 30:45 Courrier: "This year i played against a spanish cow" Haha ! :D
@@Notir072 Uncle Tony has a huge problem with Courier who was a cool guy. His French was funny and good in a certain way. I loved him lol He was nice with the ball kids contrary to Uncle Tony says.
Eigentlich ein Wahnsinn das Sergi Brugera 1990 einst gegen Horst Skoff im Davis Cup seinerzeit 6-4 7-5 6-0 verloren hat. Ja Skoff schlug damals einen FRENCH OPEN SIEGER www.daviscup.com/en/draws-results/head-to-head/head-to-head.aspx?team1=AUT&team1PlayerId=10001288&team2=ESP&team2PlayerId=10000188&sf=&ar=&mt=&sd=&ed=
Ich habe Skoff immer gerne gesehen. Coole Vorhand hatte er. Hat zwar nie für ganz oben gereicht, aber solider Spieler. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, war er nicht unbedingt der trainingsfleißigste :-. R.I.P
Courrier's decline dates back to that same year, 1993, where he lost against Bruguera, at Wimbledon in the final against Sampras and in the third round at the U.S. Open against Pioline.
Regardless, he was a still top OG back in day. I love his service motion ... it's like proper ... simple :). I wish tennis players never had a decline ... but we are all humans sadly.
If you want proof that leg drive doesn't add any significant power to your serve, look at Bruguera's. Leg drive is for better net clearance by being up in the air. Bruguera didn't propell himself into the air and solved the net clearance with supreme kick serves (topspin).
@@ChristianEhrl Ok, ich finde er ist ein sehr guter Kommentator. Wundert mich das man ihn gar nicht mehr im TV hört. Vor allem, da es gerade soviele schlechte Kommentatoren im deutschen TV gibt, meiner Meinung nach.
That's funny because Courier leads Agassi 7-5 (and it was much worse before Courier deteriorated later in his career), and Agassi leads Kuerten 7-4 so therefore....oh wait....chain-reasoning tennis results in this manner is moronic.... in reality though, Courier and Kuerten did meet in a big match ON CLAY in DAVIS cup. Courier won: 6-3 6-2 5-7 7-6(11)

You know, Courier was the favourite, he hit the ball very hard that day
Courier won 2 FO’s, Bruguera won 2 FO’s, Kuerten won 3 FO’s.
Nadal still has 6 more than all three combined. 😳
Nadal had weaker fields but definitely was better innhernal than any of these. Kuerten had the prettiest game though
I was so proud then to see a Spaniard win RC;-)
Kind of similar play. A Spanish Jim Courier and American Sergei Brugera.
Final point - super exciting!
Even clay was fast those days..
Balls bounced less and were faster..less fluffy
Quite opposite before 1996 clay were even slower.
In early 90's the top players were hitting so hard,compared to the 70's and 80's,Courier and Bruguera would of been great even by today standars.
brugerra had a great backhand 😊🎾

Yeah, i agrée. Still: the "Spanish cow" played wonderfull and deserved his victory ;-) what a generation, oh How the years go by ;-(
Liza Limonova, absolutely heart breaking moment it was. Courier was a childhood hero

Wow. What a match!
30:30 courrier: "Last year i talked like a spanish cow" (about his french,. He talked in french)
30:45 Courrier: "This year i played against a spanish cow"
Haha ! :D
That's actually disrespectful of his opponent, i.e., implies he lost because he didn't play well.
@@uncletony6210 Nooo, that was just some cool humor, and he immediatly affter that said: " No, it's not funny". But i think it was :p

His French is pretty good actually, he obviously has an ear for languages.
King of clay
16:05 I did not know Nancy Kerrigan and Tanya Harding was watching? Haha!
Who was to know what would transpire six months later ....

The trophy ceremony was such a mess lol. All the officials standing there awkward not knowing what to do. Pretty funny
i dont get it.... can you site the time stamp it occurs. thanks in advance.
So you cut out the most interesting part of the 5th set. Why...

Bitte alles hochladen!!! nicht nur 31min
Würde ich gerne aber ich hab nicht mehr ;)
Sergi Brugera was very good at Tennis but he didnt have the fire on Grass or Hard Courts.
wie hieß der kommentator?
Müsste Oliver Faßnacht gewesen sein. Er war auch Radiomoderator bei Bayern 3

C étais beaucoup mieux avant le sport avec de la concurrence
Courier looked bad, did he throw the match? Gambling
I feel like Uncle Toni watched these two and Muster to create Rafa Nadals style of play
kuerten killed bruguera ! so he would have destroy courier !

Nadal would kill them all
@@spirg Nadal didn’t play with the racquets they did play with. The spin he generates was impossible with 90s racquets. Makes a big difference.
