2006 Australian Open Final - Roger Federer Vs Marcos Baghdatis

[pakheng]

is funny cause baghdatis was only 20 years old in this video, and yet he looks older than federer. fed changed visibly, but baghdatis looks exactly the same lol

[nicoshox]

watching this after federer lost to rafa at the ao2012. if only you could bring the federer here to the present, then probably the semifinal wouldve only been a 3-setter - in favor of the swiss

[unapologeticmind]

Impressive... Baghdatis had a break point for a 7-5 3*-0 lead. Had he taken that point, he almost certainly would have gotten a 2 set lead and who knows what might have happened after that.

[BlakkLining]

0:41 Nadal butt pick

[SpyrosMitrakos]

Bagdaths is the only player worldwide that has beaten both Nadal and Federer while they where no 1!!!Bagtath eisai theos enas kai monadikos!!!

[unapologeticmind]

@SpyrosMitrako Both Djokovic and Murray have managed to do that, i.e. beat both Federer and Nadal while these were ranked #1. Baghdatis claim to fame may be that he's one of the few who have managed to do that, but certainly not the only one...

[themodelgirl]

0:41 Roger does a Rafa move lol

[daniel940210]

0:54 Nadal

Le plus grand Roger federer

[ruaridh2k7]

No offence guys but stop comparing Roger to Rafa. There's no point. They both have completely different playing styles.

Rafa himself ad-knowledges that he's not better than Roger and head to head means nothing.

Quite frankly I believe both have they're pro's and cons.

[Saberq1]

@ruaridh2k7 Rafa is fake humble.....He is better than Roger but he is not BETTER than Roger if you know what I mean...

[Rafathaman94]

@ruaridh2k7 True, they are totally different players when they come to their style, but have been the two most dominant players on the tour in this generation.

I don't like saying who is better in an instant, butthis is what I predict when both careers are over

Slams- Federer just leads Rafa.

Masters- Rafa hands down

Overall titles- Rafa will take it.

Weeks at #1- Federer hands down.

[TheBillyboy1990]

Hahaha 0.55 Feds thinks he is Nadal... :D

[hattrickster33]

What happened to Baghdatis after 06-07? Playing so well shouldn't he have at least one slam?

[Jake1985Nazar]

@hattrickster33 You would say the same about Gonzo from 07-09 but it wasnt ment to be

[gianbo911]

were was the shot that federer went around the post

[Jake1985Nazar]

And up 40 love at 6-5

[Jake1985Nazar]

Wow up a set and a break Baghdatis had all the momentum played some great shots and then Federer turned on the gear imagine Baghdatis having a 2 sets to love lead i wouldve put my money on him to win it-

[mrandreas130]

WOOO GO BAGHDATIS even though he lost im remember watching this macth when i was little

[hyperbole2]

amazing call by the commentator at 3:04

[joshluo123]

is it just me? or ddoes it seem like federers shots were even more effortless in this tournament than ever. he still hit a lot of winners (especially forehand) but it seemes like he didnt even try to hit them hard. its like this tournament was just too easy for him

[joshluo123]

the only one i really saw that he hit was at 2:35. you just hear a huge BAM

[joshluo123]

the only one i heard was 2:32. BAM

[akuonye]

MARCOS BADHDATIS IS SO UGLY EWWWWWWW

[seidl01]

5:44 what an stupid idiot

[BrotherTree1]

and at long last, baghdatis has finally taken revenge over federer for this match and other matches after this one.

[TJFederer15]

It wasnt a fluke he was jst injured straight after dis n had had many problems since this but is bak healthy now and has jst won stockholm rite at the end of 2009 and sydney this year and is aiming to get back in the top ten by the end of this year with some luck.

[tomotennis]

this tournament was just a fluke.... havent seen him for ages.. is he still playing??

[nymerie]

... haven't seen Marcos Baghdatis ever after this match in a good shape... shame... any reasons?

[MrPpavlouk]

he wa playing good alson in wimbleton same year, but since then... he is no.33 now

[hellyeahbabe]

Baghdatis > Federer

Maybe not in tennis, but in charisma and as a human being.

Bravo Marcos!

[jonatev00]

hahah . "maybe not in tennis"? in tennis, the question can't even be asked. In charisma, stop talking, you don't even know the man...

[Rafathaman94]

@hellyeahbabe You're an idiot.

[IllnezzBD]

murray is a good player yes....but nadal has beaten murray so you might wanna get that straight

[MrJamesT1]

Federer the Greatest Ever, nadal Is overated and can only beat federer, he cant beat murray.

[ramsteina]

@MrJamesT1 overrated? you don't become the number one player in the world, win the french open three times, as well as wimbledon and the australian open by being overrated.

overrated is total bullshit

[MrJamesT1]

nadal at 23 is crocked and carreer over, Del potro and federer will chalenge 4 the slams tis year, roger will retain the french and wimbledon, its survival of the fittest in this world, Federer is an Athlete best ever

[ramsteina]

despite some trouble coming back from injury, he is STILL number two in the world with an almost 1000 point difference between him and the novak.

don't say his career is over, he is obviously capable of decent play even nursing an injury. don't write him off yet, let's see how he plays when he's fully recovered

[jcyn21]

@MrJamesT1

you was wrong my friend

[Rafathaman94]

@MrJamesT1 lamo Good call. He just won the last two majors and became #1 in the world

[0507590]

@MrJamesT1 WRONG!!!!!!!

[nvkhuang819]

@MrJamesT1 how'd that prediction go for ya?

[mariomarcano]

Nadal won Roland Garros 4 times, not 3...

[Rafathaman94]

@ramsteina Actually he has 5 french opens (probably 4 at the time you wrote the comment).

[Gonmaestro]

@Rafathaman94 And now he has six.

[106STEPH63]

Belle victoire !!

[vasilis360]

its such a shame that marcos become from hero zero and from number 15 to number 150

[GKHGKHG]

what are u talking about? marcos is a great player its not a shame this is tennis someday maybe he will become again number 15 it doesnt matter he improve that one anonymus guy from an island named cyprus can play with andy roddick and win him

BRAVO MARCOS

[tenniswh0re]

he was very young when he climbed into the top 20 and hes only 24 now hes got plenty of time

[vasilis360]

you are right but i dont think he puts targets.. he just does what he does for fun not because he trully wants to be the best like federer.federer want to be simply the best marcos just wants to have fun

[SpyrosMitrakos]

@vasilis360 jajajajaj sorry file but thats bullshit!Federer was no1 because he could be and of course want to be but that doesn't mean that other players that want to be no 1 they can!Nobody plays for fun if he plays professional tennis!Some one has to make great effort physical and psychical in order to be in their best position or just in the first 50 most of the times.And another lie you said..everyone wants to be no 1 of course!!

[SpyrosMitrakos]

@vasilis360 now he is in around 50th position!

[Gonmaestro]

@SpyrosMitrakos

Actually he is ranked 62 in the world until sunday but he will be ranked as number 60 on monday

[homecenter17]

Ruta Federer.Me estaciono en Melbourne del 2006. Federer se habia quedado con las ganas el año anterior al caer frente al ruso Safin e iba por la revancha ante el sorprendente chipriota. Al final es el septimo grand slam para fedexpress. Acumulo su octava final los 4 grandes, segundo en el Melbour Park y; ya esta en la senda de los elegidos.

[365to173repubsPWNED]

:42....Rafa nadal

[choyothe]

0:57 ;)
