This is the first live tennis match on i can remember. Was a 10 year old boy, watching this with my Dad. The serve, volley and dives made me fall in love with tennis.
6:47 - 6:57 - Those were the days of close net rallies before power tennis took over. Paes, Aggasi, Becker have often given us these net rally thrillers
Yes you are right. I think in Pen pilot international tournament in New Haven in round of 16 level match he beat Sampras and quarter final he lost to Goran Ivanisevic if I am not wrong, Paes single Ranking was 73. Still cherish those proud moment being Indian.
Why we have not the 2 firsts sets ? They were very better. I remember that Paes leads 4-0 in the second and ball for 5-0 after win the first set. Incredible...
As good in singles is too big a statement to make..because he was that good in doubles.. The guy had won multiple grandslams as a doubles player, so being as good means he will be a title contender in singles too which is very difficult to envisage at that time as his game was totally suited for the doubles section.. His weakness as a singles player is glaringly evident.. Far too many at that.. Not a great serve.. Poor groundstrokes but exceptional volley skills, u need to have a good serve and atleast a good forehand if not the backhand to be in the game in those times. His forehand was not great either but slightly better than average.He didn't have a great height either.. Hardly a person that short (by tennis standards) would use serve and volley tactics.. They rely on their groundstroke skills.. His movement was good but not like Michael Chang who himself didn't win much outside french open despite having pace and a very good backcourt game. Leander was of a different mould altogether... If he had a height over six feet and carried the same skills that he had.. Still i could have given it a thought.. But as i mentioned his game was not cutout to win titles in singles.
He won the Junior Wimbledon title.... But he wasn't enough to compete in the Singles as a Senior. This is the problem with the Indians. Physically not strong enough after a certain age.
Bhai ek hi tha wo pure 100 crore Indian se ..Paise jo achive kiya hai..bharat ratna milna chahiye...Aghasi kya wo no1 single player bansakta tha agar achhi training support milta ...US , UK wale corodon kharcha karte hai apne player keliye...apna desi wala bhari pad gaya unko...
That’s not how sportsmen are created by disregarding other sports. Tennis needs infrastructure which is missing. Without courts then kids cannot take up such sports unlike in developed nations
I believe against paes he complained about the grunting and even had the supervisor come out. Against kucera he was not having a good day and starting moonballing him
I was a child and remember this game..he bullied Paes and got away with it.Never liked Agassi after that match as a human being...then you dig deep ..he is just a bully.
Agassi showed poor sportsmanship during this match. When he realized Paes could actually beat him, he resorted to tactics to mess with Leander's head an succeeded. Also, in his book Agassi admitted to taking Performance enhancing drugs during mid 90's. Pathetic loser.
Leander Paes did not have the strength to continue since it was too hot and humid. Otherwise Leander Paes could have easily won this match. It all depends on the diet and food supplements that the players take. Agassi was far more stronger than Leander Paes.
anubhav pal , probably you know nothing about tennis. Legend is still in the game. Won bronze then. Remember opponent here is Agassi. Morons like you have always been bootlickers of foreigners. Atleast appreciate nations pride.

Leander was mostly winning points close to nets. Perhaps thats why he chose to play doubles later in his career😀
Because he was a SnV player

wrong, r e t a r d. Tennis hasn't been played since 2001, the year they made the ball bigger

Hard work & dedication made Paes one of the legends of Indian tennis.
I don't know how many of the tennis fans don't know leander beats Sampras in a singles match hard to believe that but it happens
that was their only encounter too, but I heard Sampras was sick
1997 or 98. was it during the only atp tour win of his carrer as single trnmnt
@@nihits they played against each other 4 times ( 1 time in singles and 3 times in double). In every encounter Paes come as a winner
anything can happen in tennis
Federer, Nadal, Djokovic have all lost to players outside of the top 100 before

Leander Paes is from my country and especially my city Kolkata, India 🇮🇳 ❤
Even Mamatha Banerjee and the rapist she is protecting is from your city

Best clothing style in tennis ever. Agassi 1996, Moya 1997/1998. Modern players wear clowns clothes.
The clown as you are don't know anything about fashion evolution.
Leander had no backhand. With proper coaching early on he could have been as good in singles as he was in doubles.
@@john9391y you are hating him bro. He has world’s best lobe ever in tennis. 22 GS in doubles and bronze medal in singles Olympics.

Wow Olympic Bronze vs. Tarnished Gold.
Wat???
I remember this match like it was yesterday. Andre had to resort to lousy gamesmanship to pull this one off.
Andre is a known jerk...he didn't spare his US teammates so not surprising
He tried similar tactics against Kucera a couple of years later, but couldn't pull it off.
I believe against paes he complained about the grunting and even had the supervisor come out. Against kucera he was not having a good day and starting moonballing him
Kucera kicked his ass. - over two days. I think day one got rained.
@@uncletony6210 Kicked his ass in 5 sets!what are you talking about?
Kucera was fucking around with his ball toss...
24:50 : Strangle backhand to finish the match
Agassi was like, "No need to rip this. I'll make it even more painful for Paes by just casually guiding this backhand to win the match."
Am I the only one who is thinking, Paes looking like Mahesh Bhupathi?
Lol. But no
I was thinking the same
Greatest Match - no joke
Early Paes: skill ❌… Will power ✅
13: 40 was not out
is he wearing a nightgown?
hahaha Im great fan of Agassi but his dress was looking like that.
Thanks for uploading
Suat Kaya wats the song which comes in beginning I mean bgm
nsundu123 its from a telugu film movie called Nuvvu naku nachavu song u can search the songs in youtube
Vikram Reddy thx
song name ???
nsundu123 i dont know
I was a child and remember this game..he bullied Paes and got away with it.Never liked Agassi after that match as a human being...then you dig deep ..he is just a bully.
4:36 Twin Towers, pre 9-11.
Ramesh Krishnan beats Mats Sikander, No. 1 at that time.
paes not played backhand only slice back hand then no variation only one strategy he use
Very biased commentators
6:45
No Sound

He played his worst tennis on crystal meth, you pathetic hater.

What a lousy match
i hate to see paes coming close to nets for every point and those slices sickening
7:31, just look at that ball boy, how blasphemous a throw he made, utterly proposterous.
P.s: Read in bri'ish accent
Should have gone back mid match and learnt the basics of tennis
Who would teach him then?
You??
You are such a fucking looser!!
😂😂
@@rajarshiraychowdhury1501 Leander is no good at all...
Paes is a doubles player. his backhand is pathetic. he only plays serve and volley
Such a boring game. Even a ball boy would play better than this Paes.
serve and vollley is low percentage pointless tennis....
Not in the 90's. Today courts have been slowed & makes it hard to play. Tennis is boring today
Paes just waste, how come he won bronze
You're much better sitting on your couch doing nothing with your sad life
@@gordo1191 Paes is a worst player neither has a serve, back hand, fore hand...
He had willpower
Paes had doubles skills not singles.
Paes is just no class
anubhav pal , probably you know nothing about tennis. Legend is still in the game. Won bronze then. Remember opponent here is Agassi. Morons like you have always been bootlickers of foreigners. Atleast appreciate nations pride.
ZlotoPloto world totally agree with u ...
And you are the epitome of sheer class eh? Now go turn off your device and cry in a corner.
I met and worked for Paes in California and in Florida. He has TONS of class. THE MOST POLITE tennis professional I have ever worked for.
@@abhinav2606 he has no class at all ,,look at him no service, back hand, forehand ..drop shot is dropping in his own side
