Buba Borello Because @Zafferung has no life and desperately wants attention. The fact that both of us are replying, has to be the highlight of his 2020 so far... @Zafferung doesn't even know that english is not my first language. I can actually speak and write 6 languages, but "genius" @Zafferung had to wrongly insult me and an entire nation... How smart is that?! I would say, not all.
I remember that match with Nadal and Del Potro - it was sportsmanship and tennis at its highest standard! Superb! And Jo Wilfred Tsonga has to be one of the nicest guys on the tour!
I hated it when Del Potro beat Federer in USO 2009 but what an athlete and great human being he is. It is a shame he couldn't win more GS due to injuries. Truly a gentleman.
Absolute warrior. His defeats were almost always epic. His loss to Federer 19-17 in the third in the London Olympic semis, his near-5 hour defeat to Djokovic in the 2013 Wimbledon semis, the 2016 Olympic final v Murray, when both men deserved a gold medal and the Quarter shown here v Nadal. He even had to fight for his Grand Slam! So glad he won one, but also sad it was against Federer. And such a shame DelPo had so many wrist issues, he had the talent and, above all, the heart to take a few more. otherwise.
It’s amazing how the big 3 (and the next tier including Murray and Del Potro) are clearly such great guys in comparison with the era I grew up in (Connors, McEnroe, Lendl, Becker - none of them had the class of a Nadal or a Federer and Connors in particular was possibly the vilest most arrogant slam winner to ever hold a racquet). This era has given us ‘off the scale’ talent along with genuine like-ability and it’s been an absolute joy to witness.
Let me start by saying that I love Juan Del Potro. He is such an humble but fierce athlete. I also didn't see that moment when Andy Murray's mom was hugged. Fantastic.
That day Djokovic gave Stepanek that point back at Wimbledon was the first time I realised everything the Dutch media had tried to tell me about him was wrong.
@@saiparayan4047 I meant I have no issues against Djokovic and as the person mentioned he has a good sportsmanship but I have seen his fans spewing constant hate towards Federer especially and his achievements and it is increasing every year so it turns me off from watching his videos knowing I would find similar hate comments.
Djokovic Is so hated by the Wimbledon crowd which is such a shame as I’d put him as one of the fairest players. His family congratulating Judy Murray is so amazing
The thing that irks a lot of people about Djokovic and me included is that it tends to be when he's up 2-0 5-1 or something he makes a huge grand gesture and milks it. Atleast thats how it seems.
Yes he's a darling. It's because he is so grateful to be in the position he is in and knows that people have taken the time in their day to come see him play. Win or lose he gives back by giving fans some autographs. A true gentleman. ❤️
Ya bro same here. Love from India and it's just sad to see him retire. Wish him the best in his life. Will miss him dearly cause he is my favorite player and even though he did not play much recently I always waited for him to come back for that "one more match".
Have to admit, I haven’t seen a lot of Del Potro’s matches but after seeing some of these incredibly heartwarming moments I definitely will be watching a lot more! What an incredibly humble, sportsmanlike gent he is! That hug with Rafa after that QF at Wimby in 2018 almost made me weep… One of the nicest, most respectful and touching moments I’ve ever seen. Kyrigios and Tsitsipas could learn a lot and change their nasty temperaments from watching this video!
@@LKeet6 Not very popular with the crowds though! Especially considering his aggressive behaviour sometimes on court! I personally don't mind who wins Wimby now, as long as it's not Kyrigios
I've always felt like tennis at this level and especially at this venue transcended sport and physical competition and was about so much more. God bless Wimbo hope it comes back the way it always was
Alas, it happened on Court 2 (the old Court 2 - the "Champion's Graveyard") in a non-televised match, so there's almost certainly no footage of it, but possibly the most sporting moment ever in The Championships came in the ladies singles quarter finals in 1978, when Virginia Ruzici, leading 5-2 in the first set, agreed to continue the match after her opponent Evonne Cawley was crippled by an ankle injury that had been bothering her throughout the tournament. Cawley's husband came on to the court to help his wife, defaulting her from the match. However, once Cawley had received treatment and recovered enough to limp on, Ruzici offered to continue the match, which she lost 7-5 6-3. An incredible sporting gesture by the Romanian. Ironically, when it happened again to Cawley in the semi-final, her opponent Martina Navratilova was in no mood to be sporting at all and furiously protested the point (and thus the game) awarded to Cawley when she screamed out in pain to lead 4-3 in the final set. Navratilova in fact wasted so much time protesting, it helped Cawley enough to recover her composure, but she was simply too badly hurt to really continue and hobbled to the end of the match.
@@paullemon5154 i would draw a distinction between what kyrgios is like and what ostapenko is like tbh. Kyrgios seems to treat tennis like a performative art, playing up to the crowd at every opportunity. he also does whatever he can to make his opponent tick, because he knows they'll play worse if they're angry. While he is far from blameless when it comes to outbursts, i would say he's far better than ostapenko, who is simply a bad loser, no two ways about it imo p.s. on a side note, i really enjoy watching kyrgios play, not necessarily for the tennis, but for the fact that at the very least, he guarantees an entertaining match
I play badminton and once hit an opponent on his glasses, it broke and little shards of glass got stuck in his eye lids and his eye brows. Luckily his actual eye wasn't hurt. I still feel terrible even though it was an accident.
It was very nice of Novak's parents to congratulate Andy's parents ❤️👍 In fact everybody in the video was very good. Amazing to see this kind of videos
Djokovic was right to give the point to Stepanek, surprised non of the commentators spotted it or the umpire. The call came after Djokovic hit the shot therefore didn't affect his shot. In fact he motions as after he has hit the shot, which by the time the call comes, to challenge it himself.
It was sportsmanship from him, but the call came before the point ended. Hence, it was technically his right to replay the point, but sportingly he chose not to.
back at that time umpires code was to replay the point no matter the outcome.. umpires were tied to that code.. I think it lasted for about two years before they changed it to an umpires’ judgement call..
And that is why the Medvedevs and Tsitsipases can never be close to the legacies of Roger, Rafa and Novak! These three have stamped not only the highest standard of play but the highest standard of sportsmanship and gentleman behaviour in Tennis - Not to forget some of the other nicest men - Tsonga, Del Potro and Murray!
Pre Covid it is so nice to see players hug each other and shake each other's hands after a match , I hope one day they bring it back , I was a tennis player , wish I went into the profession , but now I am a professional spectator over many years , I certainly would hug my opponent and shake their hands after a match , mixed doubles most certainly . I won match make sure to break tradition and have a joint interview with my opponent because they were winners also

No surprise to see Del Po a few times. One of the nicest players on tour
del potro is nicest and most loved and respected.
Wouldn’t it be refreshing to see premier league footballers have some humility and class like tennis players .
I won’t hold my breathe however.
Football has plenty of sporting moments as well, although admittedly they are less frequent. ruclips.net/video/8ohw7lOm9Sw/видео.html

Then we have Kyrgios...
@@atomics.h.1824 We had McEbroe back then as well.

Not all sport, but tennis surely is.
Here I am having a nice happy time watching tennis highlights

It’s definitely inside us somewhere.
Just to to let the kindness out.
Got genuinely emotional watching Marcus Willis again 4 years on. Federer being an absolute gent as always by letting him take in the applause
true. Also, "love watching coco wait for halep"??!!! Fed has been doing it since he started playing on the tour!

Sportsmanship! Always feels good to see
Roger granting Marcus Willis the moment in 2016 is one of my most favorite moments of sportsmanship ever.
(41st second )"that is the sportsmanship of highest quality" it is wonderful. And it is a team spirit and team value.
