Safins best was lethal and don't forget he beat sampras,Federer and novak twice each,won 2 slams 5 master 1000s and 2 davis cups even though he spent 4 years out with injuries and retired at 29 in this season.
He had almost Kyrgios attitude, but his talent was too great that it couldn't stop him from winning slams.
@@seabard77 No he hadn't the Aussie's attitude , yes he had anger management issues , but he was no tanker , he was always serious about the game and fought to the last moment . Safin has always been a great warrior and a super talented tennis player .
@@aryomedianus2936 i think the point John Choi is making maybe is safin was known to barely train. often even at tournys he would have a practice court booked and his team would show up sit around for the allotted time chatting till the time was up with marritt often a no show. even feds and agassi as did a bunch of other greats called him the most naturally talented tennis player ever.
Safin's backhand is still one of my favorite shots.
Tomorrow Rafa vs Alcaraz gonna be entering this file: Fight between generations.
And hopefully, this is gonna be a historic one .
Vamos 💪
Thanks for giving away the results
The difference is that Safin is 6 years older than Monfils, Nadal is 17 years older than Alcaraz.
@@davd1986yeah, 1-generation gap game vs 3-generation gap game....
My 2 favorite players of all-time ❤️
Such a talent, Monfils. Pity he didn't have consistency throughout his career...®️👍👏
He wanted to be a clown much more than he wanted to get results
Man, for someone to stay at top 30-20 level for such a long time throughout his career, there's gotta be consistency. Maybe not like Rafa or Roger's consistency, but there's gotta be a lot.
2009 could’ve been his year but immaturity
Two mavericks of the game and never a dull moment.
Having seen that you can't say Safin couldn't be n°1 now ! 💪👊
Ofc not. There are more talented and better players from him. At this moment of the year Nadal is by far the number 1
@@v-prorabillion8770 we are talking about a guy who beat prime Federer and was n1 without taking tennis too seriously, Big serve, good movement for a tall guy, good net Game, a killer bh and solid fh, in this Match he was wayy past his prime and gave a young healthy Monfils a run from his money, don't talk like current top ten are wayy ahead of him cause thats bs
@@diegosotomiranda4107 he also beat agassi prime hewitt prime and destroyed sampras
@@v-prorabillion8770 were you born after 2005? I assume so
Safin is the best at wearing shirts that are two sizes too big
Marat my love...
Sup baby...😘
it is a trailer for Alcaraz vs Rafa
I hope tennis players of the future will understand that they can learn a lot from prime Monfils despite how he was never number one.
I think 2 of the most fun players to watch play, Marat and Gael. Thanks for posting this!
"Generation game" but they both were in their 20's (merely one year short of the age difference between Fed and Novak!). Tomorrow's match between Rafa and Alcaraz will see someone in his 10's and someone well in his 30's face each other. What would be even more fun is a potential Federer-Alcaraz match with an 18 year-old aspiring legend facing a 41 year-old established legend!
Not one year short lol. Same age difference.
@@chamindujanith6337 you may be right, Safin 1980 and Gael 1986, then? Funny how people keep denying Federer and Djokovic don't belong to the same generation. It's only due to both Djokovic s precocity and Fed s longevity that people don't feel the inherent faillibility of comparing a 38 years old Fed to a 32 years old Djokovic (Wimbledon 2019) as if both were in their prime playing on equal terms...
And Fed still got match points and pretty much dominated the whole statistical field while having defeated Nadal in the semi while Djokovic had taken Agut down in short straight sets and had one more resting day before the final! That's the most unfair loss in recent Grand Slam history!!
@@funfor1life😂😂Have you still not recovered? 😂😂
@@NamTran-xc2ip I have not bro
Monfils' forehand lacked power by then, and his strategy was to rely on opponent making errors
Safin was definitely not in his prime anymore here...😒
He didn't seem to have the power anymore. I always loved the sound the balls made when Safin hit them and I didn't hear it in this match.
Safin lost several huge leads in his last year. Double breaks in final sets multiple times
Safin aged prematurely, maybe due to his playboy lifestyle. This version of Safin displays reduced power...but what a load in his short prime.
パワーもフットワークも衰えてましたねー。
how was this a generation game when safin was 29 and monfils 23? lol not that much of a difference
Safin's prime was too short compared to other great players , even Hewitt and Roddick were better for long time.
Hewitt's level was pretty high between 2000-2005, which was the same as Safin. Roddick's from 2001-2010.
@@doctornov7 exactly, it feels like hewitts prime was only two years tho 😂😂😂
Too many injuries derailed the big man.
@@doctornov7 Safin had injurys in 2003 and he did not play second half of 2005
@@thebigmonstaandy6644 He also had an injury in 2001 and also 2007, he missed all or almost all of the fall season.
"О, пивасик!" - М.Сафин
Марат 😍😍😃
With such physique and technique he should've been top 5 at least
Yep, he was only 6. What a shame
Well when I see Monfils at this age, I understand how good Alcaraz will be
Looks pretty much like modern tennis to me :D This is pre iPhone. Loooooong time ago.
The surface is so slow
Safin wasfalling apart at this stage of his career.no legs whatsoever....just the shadow of himself
Pena que la cancha no tuviera ojo de halcón esas pelotas de partido se escaparon por poco
They need to bring back the purple courts!
mofils was all over the court.
Do people in professional tennis recognize how differently your commentators speak about the players?! Pointing to the intellect of some while heavy on the shots or physicality of others. A deficit vs prominence way of framing comments. Hoping I’m wrong.
Monfils nascido em 1986 e Safin nascido em 1980 acho que os dois são da mesma geração!
Wow, need celebrate at least for week victory of 20s years old over 40+ man On tie break ))
As good as he is what did Gael improve in 13 years? Not much...compare big 3's game/technique evolution (not about the results)
29 vs. 22 not really a generation game
Not ? One of them was 18 at senior level , the other was 11 in minus junior level . You definitely had IQ problem in primary school . What's the meaning of generation ?
@@aryomedianus2936 alcaraz at 18 vs. Nadal at 36 is generation game.. Also you do get worked up really quickly no Aryo? Ever tried Anger management therapy? ^^
Safin was timid and played like ass. Man I wish safin had a more successful career, such smooth strokes.
Safin was 29 and monfils was 22 at that time given that age difference every Federer/Djokovic and every Federer/Murray match can also be called "generation game", doesn't make sense. By that logic, Thiem/Shapovalov or Thiem/FAA can also be called generation game which again doesn't make sense since all of them are in 20s. Federer/Sinner or Rafa/Alcaraz or Nole/Musetti is more of a generation game
Nadal nascido em 1986 se tornou profissional em 2001 Alcaraz nascido em 2003, em 2003 Nadal já era profissional.
Where's the trailer Alcaraz / Norris???
It pays to be a pusher even at the pros

これは悔しい試合だったー
Sponsor Sony ericsson exist now ? ^^
They're six years apart, relax
Monfils isn't a great tactical player today but oh my how terrible he was back then lol the guy just seemed to have no brain
Such a ugly celebration from Monfils , like a clown image Safin winning against Sampras and doing this
It was already a "late " Safin ... Not the one in 2005. Therefore, the clown's luck has come!
Hard courts slower than clay. Yuck.
Monfils didn't have the head and focus back then. He wanted to be a showman & entertainer instead of using his head. Wasted talent who only won 63% of his matches and never reached a Major final!
Fucking right
He has never had the focus and head unfortunatly.
Specially the way he wasted energy to make more exciting tennis, it's incredible the amount of times that he was worn out before playing decisive matches, lacked stamina or had a poor management of his energy, specially on gs, for a guy with such athleticism he always was behind other top players because of that
@@diegosotomiranda4107 That's a good assessment. I never really hard that but it makes sense! Everyone says how athletic he is but a lot of times he's late getting to the ball or he's stretch out making an amazing get.
He's still a class player who's great to watch and he's still had a very good career certainly way better than most will ever have just his longevity alone is impressive.
adios pelota
The quality of play was so bad.
The only insane thing was the speed of monfils.
Those fking slow courts make points last forever
Thought the same, it looks likes tennis in slow motion...
for real??
Monfils🤡
That’s not safin, that’s his shadow
