Fed vs Srichaphan Basel 2006 Highlights

[7ussam2007]

Pushing the almighty Federer in 2006 like this means that this guy really has a raw talent

[ukkarinchat]

เฟด หัวทิ่มหัวตำเลยเว้ยเฮ้ย

[thavalsakm]

Proud to be Thailand!!!

[MrJosieposie101]

Wow, never seen this guy before but he's absolutely brilliant.

[bumtumlum]

Federer is tooooooo clutch



[caloyjp]

that was out!

[chhunvorn]

Srichaphan's serve is so powerful, and he also has better forehand and backhand than federer. Srichaphan's forehand is much faster and flatter than federer, so clearly he is better player than federer. I do not understand why other players can not hit forehand fast and flat like srichaphan, if they can do so, they will beat federer easily. However in this match a better player lose, so sometime tennis is crazy.

[youziness]

@chhunvorn yeah sri played energetic, probably at the best fitness in his career since he was always injured. But i guess federer had more tricky shots therefore he won more important points.

[frogman83]

Srichaphan was one of the cleanest hitters of the ball i have ever seen! This match was a gem.

[saobangpo]

วีรบุรุษของชาวไทย ใครจะว่าอย่างไรอย่างน้อยผมไม่แ­คร์ว่าชีวิตส่วนตัวของพี่จะเป็น­ยังไง สำหรับผมมีแต่ความคิดถึงคืนวันเ­ก่าๆ ที่พี่บอลทำให้คนไทยมีความสุข ขอบคุณมากนะครับ

[rockerduff1231]

srichaphan played like sampras in this match

[Willenskraftz]

damn that was a damn good match

[bossbbgun]

Thailand Hero

สู้ต่อไปครับ ภราดร ศรีชาพันธ์

แม้ชีวิตไม่สวยหรูแต่ยังเป็นฮีโ­ร่ของคนไทยเสมอ

[Darkmonkeylegendary]

Who could ever dislikes that? 2 jerks that have no knowledge about tennis, only explanation... Best points I had ever seen in my life in a single match... No doubts!

[rakmaknaja]

เชียร์คุณตลอดครับ

[gcbthai]

he is really a good player.

But i think that he won't play any more.

[Rus6ATP]

Great 

[FigureOurYourself1]

5:32 some asian chi in that backhand lol! Could well have gone either way, this dude has some serious "chi" in his shots!

[luke94manutd02giggs]

Respect to Srichaphan, what an amazing match he played!

[Elohite]

8:39 Federer grabbin some booty

[yap09]

i watched srichapan play janko tipsarevic at indian wells and as he watched a forced lob about to be smashed by janko, he tried to yell to break his concentration and it was mad funny

[TheMetalLordNazgu]

wow what an amazing match but i have to admin Srichapan really gave Rog a run for his money haha but outstanding from both players!

[Jantawong15]

it would be great if he come back again, I need to see him pla;y..

[badyu17]

The quality of the shot-making was ridiculously good in this match, Srichaphan was really close but few points decided in the end. And let's not forget, 2006 was year when Federer was almost unbeatable.

[TheNytdj]

Watching this game live = 40$

Watching Federer totally OWNED = no price

[samerjao]

เสียดายที่ไม่ได้เห็นภราดร top form แบบนี้อีก

[ArpatAnthakan]

คิดว่าเป็นการเล่นที่ดีมากของภา­รดร 

[nes4l]

Too good this Paradorn, he hit winner shots look like so easily, from both sides at every position. Interesting watching this attacking Paradorn against Nadal

[BrotherTree1]

two of the finest magic men you will ever see on court doing battle.

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

Fed wasn´t actually the one who really showed teeth but again it was just enough to make it thou Paradon could have won allso, he played many levels above what you would expect of someone with his ranking and for sure played up with Roger.

[nookzaa]

in the end u will see FED touched Srichaphan's ass WTH? O.o

[klapro]

Srichapan is the best tennis of Thailand and Asia ever !

His performance during that period is really amazing.

He is one of the greatest Thais ever.

[Fernandez218]

geeez Srichaphan is like, GLISTENING with all that sweat during the first minute of the vid. (and probably throughout) and Fed doesn't even break a sweat. Go FEDEX!!

[0TooTked0]

paradorn very good

[djitouille]

Srichaphan has a beautiful game too.

[fatality70]

Srichaphan choked hahaha

[federerbestclass]

great, love love ;

[TennisStud118]

I love how Fed grabs his ass after they shake hands.

[Fernandez218]

i'd grab his ass too. that dude is talented and looks damn good. i'm a heterosexual dude and i can't blame his supergorgeous wife, Natalie Glebova, for bein' with him.

[mitroveca]

man i wish there are more matches like this. pure shotmaking ability from both players attacking all-around tennis and beautiful one-handed backhands from both sides. thats what tennis is all about and not the fucking baseline-only grinding with two-handers that is the world tour becoming

[raphael1245]

@mitroveca there are matches like this. but only in the old days. like the sampras agaasi era. todays games suicks. wanna see raw power and tenacity.

[mitroveca]

there are occasionally that kind of matches but certainly not involving the guys that are considered the face of modern tennis(save for federer). i can point our this years ozzie 1R gasquet vs youzhny, last year ozzie 3R gonzalez vs gasquet, 2007 USO 4R blake vs haas and federer vs lopez. however there are too few and its a shame

[shogold10]

@mitroveca so true but wit daniel brands and dimiyrov on the up this types of matches could happen more often

[shogold10]

@mitroveca so true but wit gasquet aka baby fed on his way back and daniel brands and dimitrov we culd see more of these matches 

[mitroveca]

@shogold10 glad you mentioned dimitrov. he is a fellow-bulgarian is an absolute delight to watch

[Fernandez218]

damn this dude is good. never heard of him before.

[TheTennisTV]

Man if he didn't have injuries I think he would be somewhere

in top 10!!just look when he played he's talented!!

[birdyfr]

I agree. Hope that he can make a come back !

[NiggeliNG]

I love that centre court. It's just so unique.

[ajcph]

Srichaphan was very good then but trying to hit winners on every shot, you will burn out very quickly. Jim Courier is one example.

[davidlesli]

best match i've ever seen by both.

[chhunvorn]

Oh my god they told me that federer is world number one and they consider him as greatest player in history, but after I watch this match I think he is just rubbish player, because his forhand and back hand compare to srichaphan is really weak because it really slow. Yes he is world number one because other player are weak NOT because he is strong.

[benchkid2]

You can't judge a pro like Federer based on one game when he's not even at his peak. Watch federer's backhand line drive and you'll see what true power is. Controlled and deadly.

[LDis1]

This is Federer at his peak. 2006 was his best year, bar none. 92-5 record, that season.

[element7940]

if other players are weaker then him, he would obviously have to be stronger. hes #1 because hes stronger and because hes stronger other players are weaker

[ShadeXH]

It's got nothing to do with strength, but SKILL. There are plenty of guys with more strength than Fed, but few, if any, with more raw talent.

[thegreatNEb]

yeah what happened to the token asian guy on the ATP tour??? he was sick, always an underdog, but this match was amazing. I was never sure who was going to actually win. amazing forehand!!!

[bossdoggy]

He married miss universe somehow. So i think hes doing ok.

[MaratSafinVideos]

He was hardly "always an underdog", back in 2002/2003 people were talking about him possibly coming up with the goods at the AO or USO and maybe winning one. But he had injury problems and since 2007 he's been screwed over by a wrist injury amongst other things.

[2Yankees1Phillies]

paradorn is great i saw him play at the 2005 us open i was sitting right behind him dunno who was playing him because he lost a five-setter

[akijesus]

what happen to this guy i cant see him no more

[galloper3]

Wow, I wasn't expecting to see much of a match, but that was intense, i think it's time i looked up more Schrichapan videos!

[dinh]

Roger gave Paradorn's bum a nice pat at the end there. lol

[DarkSharkar]

EPIC!

[danperson1]

amazing

[3timeMVPNash]

The first time I've seen this guy...he's very talented.

[raezfedexi]

paradorn is the best...

[Madsupervilian]

ohhh man, it was a great match. wished to see this guy play again. wonderful

[IvanAndreevich]

Holy crap that was a fun match to watch :)

[napajedlacek]

THE tHAI TENNIS ,HE EVER PLAYED :-)

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

WOW!! This is a really nice match!

[ParkParkParkPark]

Some of the best points I've ever seen played by two players. We want Paradorn back!

[mongdex]

@ParkParkParkPark lol im thai and where i practice i see paradorn roll in his lambo gallardo and ferrari f350 everyday hes still fit but well he hasnt played for a while.

[ichliebefish]

A terrific player, Para could easily outplay the current top 10 ATP players on such a surface ... (that perhaps includes Roger as well)!

[awesomerepublican]

Boy was Roger glad he won that close match against another talented shot maker like Paradorn.

[TheExcrement70]

Thanks for the upload. I really love his style too. I'm a Thai guy living in Bangkok. What I know about him now is he will be getting a wrist surgery this month. And I met him in person last month in the book store as I would say that he is still in good shape and rides Harley Davidson.

[miltyu97]

Paradorn was one of my favorite players, because he had variety and he kept calm enough to keep control of his huge repertoire of shots.

[ThGer]

I've read on a newspaper that he will need 6 more months and there is a huge chance of coming back. So let's hope then.

[jorrrma]

one of the coolest matches I've ever seen. haha, what was roger thinging at 8:38 =)

[OriginTo]

I think he is still active but i'm not too sure when he's coming back. He was injured before but he should be fine now so I dont really know what he is doing now. I knew that he married Miss Universe and became presentor for some products in Thailand. And has had some gossips with Thai celebrities. BTW I really want him to come back and play again even his peak performance might has passed. He's the best player in Asia ranked highest at No9 the only player from Asia who achieved top ten.

[brucewillis2]

wow that was some amazing tennis. interesting footwork that guy has on his backhand. steps after hitting the ball...

[gman0674]

Thanks for the upload. Used to love watching Srichaphan play, yet there are very few vids of him on YouTube.

He had such effortless power and touch with his ground strokes. I can't remember him playing a boring match, it was always spectacular.

Think he is retired now though, shame cos he could always mix it with the best players like Federer.

[reefric]

good new´s, he´s back..paradorn play´s some world class tennis! i like his game..

[elecbass100]

4:21 just delicate
