Marcelo Rios and Yevgeny Kafelnikov

[shawnzorf]

Cada vez que veia un tiro asi del Chino decia... Chino ql, como mierda hacia esas weas...

[anyhitchcock]

3 or 4 stand out players now the rest are average!! so many great players from the past who would spice up tennis now and rios is one of them!!!

[rmrooster01]

I remember when Rios shot through the ranks, 1994 ish. He was a clay court specialist, good on hardcourts but hated grass. Why? Extreme western forehand, is hard to dig out them shots that stay low, like on grass. Rios hated wimbeldon and was a first round loser many times. And he was a whiner. He could be top 20 nowdays easy. Mens tennis isnt any better than in the 90's. Just as many big hitters back then. Sampras, Becker, Rafter, Agassi, would be top 10 easy.

@rmrooster01

Was it really western grip? Doesn't look like it from the footage.

[parklife1984]

@metallkristian El palmarés de Guillermo Vilas solo es más amplio que todo eso

[metallkristian]

@parklife1984 Ya pero dond Vilas fue Numero 1??? je je je

[parklife1984]

@metallkristian Los tenistas pasan a la historia por los GS que ganan, no por ser número 1, eso lo sabe hasta el más memo. Por eso Federer es el más grande de la historia, y Vilas será siempre mejor que Ríos. Punto y final

[metallkristian]

@parklife1984 Jajaja entonces ser número 1 es una mierda en tenis según tú???? jejeje

[don443311]

Rios plays similar to nadal. But nadal does everything better than what he does

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

Good angle vs ridiculous angle!

[albox211]

- mejor

- excelente

- increíble

XD

[raphael1245]

marcelos has so much swag

[AlonsoDelFlow]

los dos son muy buenos jugadores

[elguapostino]

2 of the biggest underachievers in the game.

[MaratSafinVideos]

No way was Kafelnikov much of an underachiever.

[89Pleasek]

I agree with Rios as being an underachiever but no way was Kafelnikov one - in fact he won more than he should have.

[Matadore29]

Que bueno el punto wn!

That point is the best!

[GENIOMIO]

kafelnikov, Muster, elainohui (o algo así), No había caso con ellos, le tenían la mano tomada al chino bestias negras.

[rehabboy01]

Thank You for the info re: Yevgeny.

Cheers!

[rehabboy01]

Hey, anybody knows wot happened to Kafelnikov? I dont remembered him retiring. Last time I saw him was around '97 that was it. Woot is he up to these days? thanks.

[netspirit79]

see Wikipedia

[MistwalkerZ]

Echo de menos ver jugar a este wn

[Nachocacike20]

yo tambien wn, el chino era lo mas grande que hemos tenido en el tenis, ya me lo imaginaba ahi jugando con jugadores del tipo de Nadal, Federer, Safin, Murray, Feña Gonzalez y muchos mas, se retiro demasiado pronto.

[RoseEdw]

buen punto y a pesar de que rios gano este partido kafelnikov siempre tuvo de hijo a rios 6-2 head to head, kafelnikov tenia mejor juego all around y rios era mas inteligente pero a pesar de eso nunca le encontro su juego

[pablo18u2]

chino rios... un maestro

[autredimension]

one of the especialtys of the most talented player in tennis ever

[opinologo666]

Rios is not the best, but he's the most talented player ever. dont lie anymore, please. Nadal is very rough, only a great warrior, Roger is much much better, he's the best of the history.

[R0rr0x]

Nadal es muy orgulloso !

español tenia que ser!

Nadal's piece of shit!

[DestructorPrat]

ese drive solamente pudo haber salido del chino Rios....lo mas grande...Kafelnikov quedó loco

[ronpaul4america]

Marcelo at his peek would be about 3 in the world right now. Rafa, Federer would beat him. The rest could win, but not consistently. Rios's problem was not he lacked consistency in the game. He wasn't as talented as Rafa or Federer.

[belitnakoff]

Marcelo in good health would be a top five player today. Let's not forget that in 2007, he defeated both Gonzo and Massu and neither of these guys is chopped liver. Marcelo had a winning record against Andre and Courier but he did have some trouble with the big bangers like Sampras and Safin. My guess is that he would have some trouble with Rafa, who is a bigger and stronger version of Marcelo but Marcel would definitely be top ten.

[TheDramalLama01]

Rios is one of the most talented players ever, can you not see the angles he creates from nowhere. his problem isn't talent, its his motivation to win and he had alot of injuries throughout his career.

[ZurdoMagico]

Rios owned Grosjean

[TalibanTwister]

dude he beat agassi 2 times when agassi was a teniis machine, i think he is like at least hewitt

[TalibanTwister]

dude he beat agassi 2 times when agassi was a teniis machine, i think he is like at least hewitt

[GyariSan]

No need to get angry people. It's just my opinion.

[naldoxis]

Que muñeca!!! sin duda R1... el mejor

[laconchetuputamadre]

no yevgeny...do not go cross-court with the backhand against a lefty....back to the drawing board...

[agairruti]

i dont belive he could beat anyone in the top 100s today... nadal...federer...unthinkable.

[ZurdoMagico]

That's because you are mental retarded, you just discover tennis with Federer.

[raphael1245]

@ZurdoMagico agreed.

[bamibalboy]

@ZurdoMagico lol these guys get owned by the top 100 these days

[toby0cooper]

@ZurdoMagico Even if you say Rios had more natural talent than Federer, he definitely didn't have the champion's attitude. He would never have made the kinds of records Federer did if he was in today's era and without injury

[AbeedHossain]

@agairruti UNTHINKABLE? Didn't Gilles Simon beat those guys both?

[Mariwa69]

@agairruti

Rios = Top 1...

What the fuck are you talking about?

[quiet1234]

Marcelo was such a freaky player, If only he had won a grandslam, so much talent... too bad for the injuries he could beat anyone in the top 100 today except the guys who are ranked 1 and 2

[ZurdoMagico]

That's bullshit, he could beat anyone anytime, and he lost a Grand Slam final against a fucking drug addict, everybody knows that but nobody says anything.

[quiet1234]

Calm down man, i didnt say anything bad about marcelo did I? Far out. I just said that I dont think hed beat Nadal and Federer today, hes wat? 30 years old? In his prime he relied on speed/court coverage as well as touch to beat his opponents. And im not sure how he would hold up to Rafa's vicious topsin especially on clay. Yeh I know Korda was a druggie, that doesnt change that Marcelo doesnt have a GS to his name and I was suppourting that he should have one to match his talents.

[PatagonianWarrior]

the point is, the GS final Rios played against somebody who was on dope at exactly that moment. In every other sports and according to legal procedure, the title of Korda would have been passed over to him. But well...

[Nigelxman]

@ZurdoMagico Wow Bitter much? lol Rios had all the chances in the world to win grand slams but he FAILED. period.

[metallicalabrano]
