[ESPN1832]

Que magia tiene este hombre por dios

Yo lo califico como "La muñeca magica de Fabrice Santoro"

[clauacuti]

Fabrice Santoro, a.k.a. THE MAGICIAN!!! Stunning :)

[sepultura1991]

Thats the spirit of tennis: defending anything as possible and waiting for the oponent's error

[antarezpz]

MARCELO RIOS Y FABRICE SANTORO LOS DOS MAS TALENTOSOS DEL ULTIMO TIEMPO EN EL TENIS!!!...GRANDE LOS DOS!!!

[luisdjokovic]

[darnacehead05]

[konstantinos20010]

1) ... 2) ,., 3)-.- 4)o.o 5) 0.0 6)O.O

[Fitness4London]

Just goes to show, it's worth chasing down every ball

[dOcToRcHaRiZaRd]

Pause. play then keep pressing 7 to see Santoro laughing at Federer!

[KeyMrLock]

i wouldnt be surprised if federer missed that on purpose. hes winning outright and hes playing a dying star. may aswell give him something out of the game. i know i would have if i was federer.

[Valitatar]

@KeyMrLock I'm sure Fed gave that point away... one can only admire the sportsmanship of both contenders... this is one flick to be played to young tennis players....

[kelman221]

@Valitatar He didnt give it away, he was just so amazed that he couldn't concentrate and started laughing. It happens, but that just shows how good of a sport he can be.

[starfleetoffcr]

We miss the "Magician"!!

[bamibalboy]

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA

[ASPERGER1984]

There's always some fucking asshole who dislikes these beautiful videos. If I catch him, I'll kill him. XD

[MrAykut23]

the only unlike came from federer

[DreamerGirl61]

That Man is Unreal :)

Didnt flinch as Federer Smashed the ball.. He took his chance and it payed off... Thats what Tennis is about :)

[cwaddle]

Funny guy

[Staunomat]

Oh my god, I miss this guy so much...

[stickytwig]

:S who are they speaking about when they say "well he has got something out of the match" ?

[Naradio]

@stickytwig santoro because he lost the first set 6-1 at the time... so this was a nice memorable point for him

[dalbizures]

second round, not third round

[simondahlof]

0:24 Hahaha, Evil Laugh! XD

[divyeshmaheshwari]

1 Person knew only federer with the title of MAGICIAN .. U fool it's Fabrice Santoro.

[demondayzzz]

@TennisAnnalyst he also had to take many more of them so that's not too surprising, but ur right i don't remember him missing a smash

[naikahnomtom]

Two leg horse :)

[LaDeeDaDeDaDeDa]

Such a wonderful guy... enjoying his tennis even though he lost the first set 6-1.

[adamwhair]

@LaDeeDaDeDaDeDa couldnt agree more! signn of a tennis player who is competing out of love of the game and not for the money! in his mid 30s he still has a hungry for victory and for the game. such a shame he hung up his racket!

[Fitness4London]

Santoro is fabulous - as the ball comes towards him he can slow it down with his eyes. And his touch is genius. Just shows it's not all about power.

[cablekid102]

Federer is still better

[BlueOrpheus1988]

@cablekid102 we know that, but santoro was an awesome entertainer...

[DarkDisaster45]

It was a shame when he hung his racket

[aznking01010]

lmaoo i love how at 0:24 federer's like "what...the...fuck....."

[wtfidcgl]

lol :)

I love Roger, but that was funny!!

[measuringtap3]

why did he only reacfh number 18

[pararesis]

because he can make great shots, but the other guys over power him and he can only make so many incredible shots

[measuringtap3]

i would love it if he ever won a slam bnut it s 2 late know ANyway i reckon federer hit that last smash out on purpose

[measuringtap3]

doesnt he get inspiration from these shots? i was losing and i played the best rally of my life then i felt so good and i won

[ionikremix]

Santoro!, uno de mis top 10 jugadores de la historia! y todavia juega!, increible!

[soyelfeno]

se retiro en el último abierto de australia

[ionikremix]

gracias por la info!, ni enterado! igual ya no estaba a la altura de los grandes... una pena!

[oliversenord]

That is pure genius

[HellRaiser51]

lol

[darkbowpure]

lmfao!! amazing lol=]

[SkinnyfeatKoga]

Aaaalter kriegt der die alle noch :)

[andermm73]

santovô correu barbaridade, caramba, que fôlego absurdo!!!!

[TWKang]

I hope I'll have the fitness to run down overheads like that in my mid 30s...

[h00dman]

What's interesting about Santoro is that his best results at the grand slam tournaments came during his 30's, both in singles and doubles.

Legend!

[GueorguiJoukov]

"(...)it'll be a shame when he'll hang his racket."

So true.

[pirocan1]

how old is he now?

[cbugg99]

@GueorguiJoukov he hangs up*** get it right, gosh

[patankbros]

@GueorguiJoukov before I saw the clip, I thought that quote was gonna be about federer. XD

[HellRaiser51]

santoro my fav player

[Fernandez218]

although Federer is usually extremely focused, it seemed like he was fooling around on this point.

[BashfulBob]

Nice retreiving but Federer should have put the first volley away. Not to mention the first smash.

[99sshol]

haha Santoro is excellent! he should never have won that point!!

[TheMarkie1971]

Missing also Thomas Muster, Andre Agassi, Micheal Chang.

[darthtau]

wow, never giving up, always having fun, he's definantly a great tennis player, title or not.

[LBJSVSM23]

Santoro........The Magician!

[Landche91]

the funniest tennis point ever

[Daviddd1986]

Gaudio, Baghdatis... ;)

Blake is strong - not that fast.

[xeagle91]

hahahahahahahahh

[Landche91]

i think federer missed it because it wouul be a shame if santoro lost that point

[Landche91]

santoro is the funniest tennis player ever tennis needs a man like him oh the commentary also made me laugh

[theone225]

Top Fastest Tennis Players 10 Roger Federer 9 Marcus Baghdatis 8 Pete Sampras 7 Fabrice Santoro 6 Gaston Gaudio 5 Andy Murray 4 James Blake 3 Lleyton Hewitt 2 Rafael Nadal 1 Bjorn Borg

[mugballeri3]

LOL! Federer is at least number 4 or 5.

[mysteriekiller]

Hahahaha, baghdatis faster than Federer?

[dwilliams02]

Federer is definitely faster than Baghdatis, Sampras, Santoro, and Gaudio. He is so graceful and elegant with his movement that you take his speed for granted. Also, I think Murray might be further up the list. He also doesn't look as fast as he is because of his long strides. But I would almost say he's as fast or faster than Nadal.

[rfcspankoufc]

haha amazing!
