Federer vs Ivanisevic

[biozamadotcom]

This was so long before Qui-Gon Jinn

[whutbrush]

Federer has always been great against S&V players. Ivanesevic looked terrible on top of it.

[asivalss]

ovo je smesno !!! ha ha,ha !!! i ovaj covek je osvojio wimbledon.pa on danas ne bih mogao da pobedi ni 100-tog rangiranog u tenisu.danasnji tenis je dostigao savrsenstvo,dokaz je djokovic i nadal.

[PisonjaT]

TIPICAL CROAT PIG

[sanja62]

@PisonjaT ..A ti si tipicna srpska svinja

[davd1986]

LOL. This is the moment Federer was talking about in his ESPN interview (where Rod Laver was as well incidentally), that he remembers this as one of his great memories of early pro career. He said how he remembered watching all the great stars like Sampras, Agassi, Ivanisevic, Henman, etc and he remembers watching Ivanisevic throw his racquets all the time, and then he actually witnesses this in an actual live match with Ivanisevic on the other side of the net!! LOL. Great stuff!!

[kataisa3]

lol @ the gay hairstyles so typically european

[MrTorcida22]

@kataisa3 stupid,retard people so typicall for usa

[sanja62]

@MrTorcida22 ...tocno tako!

[MrTorcida22]

@sanja62 aj da je neko pametan da nas podjebava...kad ono amerikanac..hehe

[sanja62]

@MrTorcida22 ...kompleksasi..htjeli bi biti Europljani po najnovijem...svasta..:)

[nowbellhere]

In the point that starts at :38 I think Ivanisevic had about 18 good chances to win the point. How Federer won that point will remain one of the unsolved mystery within this realm of the universe.

[nowbellhere]

This was the match of the hairdos. Federer won, his hairdo was even more goofy looking. I didn't even remember that era when each was trying to psych their opponent out by having a bizarre hairstyle. Federer looked unbeatable.

[max10072007]

I want to see the racket 1:11

[computermaster]

Well Goran really is not in the same league as Federer- it's mostly his serve that makes him win- but serve alone isn't everything!

[BachEmotion]

Ha, ha. 0.58 Fed laughing at the racket smash and his too good disguised cross court winner.

[nowbellhere]

Did I miss a span of time in recorded history? When was this hairdo the "in thing"?!? Federer's hair looks like the hair of a 12 year old girl geek. Now I understand why Ivanisevic broke his racket on that point. He could not believe he was losing to this hairdo.

[Stylaz21]

@nowbellhere Can't believe you're saying that when the inspiration for Federer's haircut is clearly standing on the other side of the court.

[nowbellhere]

@Stylaz21 Yes, there is some truth to what you're saying perhaps.

[dottorcozza88]

Hey, but... Goran served consecutively twice from the left side!

[kelman221]

Is this when Federer had a personality?

[MsSunfire12]

Federer had a babolat Racket Oo

[kimbahpnam]

@MsSunfire12 those are just babolat strings, not a babolat racquet

[blueguitarblue]

Oh dear. Pony tails? The only men who should have long hair are Native Americans; and, even THEY should avoid pony tails. :)

[thelazypenguin94]

which 1 is federed :p ?

[182Lalus182]

0:58 :):)..Roger´s laugh:))...ROGER was already at BEST:))

[arianf710]

0:53 *ivanisevic breaks racket*

Federer: *mission accomplished face*

[ciricnikola]

Ovakvo ljigavo ponasanje Federera posle Goranovog "loma" pokazuje da je on oduvek bio slina kao covek. Pozdrav iz Srbije

[kyuubiyura]

@ciricnikola но Фед всегда будет лучше твоего нолика.

[vihorika]

LAGANICE TO FEDERER ODRADI

[MrCantheal]

samo jebi ivanisevica

[haradanian]

so cute federer

[123MrsO]

Aww he was just a baby!!

[Rocky82ish]

Ukratko...Novak Djokovic!

[phrules]

è marianella a commentare?

[pivovaracom]

0:48 legendaaa

[zuti1994]

first time i saw federer smileing :)

[Gameman5000]

@zuti1994 did you see that clip already watch?v=IM_dOoUXgLE :D

[bassem008]

@Gameman5000 at least they r trained :p

[Elwink]

don't forget to check the videos on Goran's Wimbledon final vs Rafter, absolutely epic

[SuppaDuppaFly1]

hihihi, Look at Fedex face when Goran crashed his racket ;)

[Nigelxman1]

Lol. Poor Goran, but at least he got his Wimbledon.

[kOaMaster2]

ivanisevic's shot at 00:47 looks SO slow - or federer's reaction & anticipation is just awesome

[87Logitech]

Federer god of tennis :) What a smile on 0:58 :D

[MrMegaProvokant]

da imam love bi isto stalno unistio reket

[studionik]

ahhhhh, the old wilson pro staff 85, great racquet.

[TheKlishe23]

tremendo punto el que hiso federer para ponerce 0-30



[00Billy]

Federer never won wimbleton on a Monday...

[Edu2503]

@00Billy Nobody ever called that tounament "wimbleton" on any other day.

[00Billy]

@Edu2503

whoops nice typo catch...sorry..

[Edu2503]

@00Billy You see? It's amusingly ironic how, in my attempt to show your typo, I made one of my own (I wrote "tounament"). If you were like me, this would be a "correction" chain. Good bye, mate.

[ofkabre]

Baby Federer beats Goran easily.

[tiesthijsthejs]

@ofkabre to be fair, baby beat injured old man.

[Metirovan]

@dud321xyz umm... goran won wimbeldon... idk

[bijou201]

@dud321xyz Look dude, if Ivanisevic is legend for me - than it is. You can't change it. And you can't change other people on internet and newspaper calling him legend, too. My point IS on his style, character, not so in play, although gs doesn't mean a player is the top of the tops.

[bijou201]

@dud321xyz Dude, what the hell are you talking about, did you actually watched all Ivanisevic's games (as I and all Croats have), did you actually remember his every achievement, every sport injury. I see you're favorite tennis player is Djokovic so don't put him as example becuse I know everything about him. Oh, and one more thing: Ivanisevic (and Sampras) was Đoković's major idols, they have great influence on him.

[bijou201]

@dud321xyz I see you don't understand my point and you're counting someone's achievements only in grand slams.You're underrating his career. Goran has 22 career titles.That Becker,Edberg or Agassi thing is very stupid from you.One of the first Ivanisevic's great victory was beating Becker and the rest of the crew you counted. It's obviously you're underrating him.If someone is for a long time in top 10 and No2, than it tells enough about his success.If you can't accept that, that's your problem.

[bijou201]

@dud321xyz He was and is tennis legend,maybe more as a character in sports than just play,I agree (that's what I meant),but say that he was ONLY good at Wimbledon is a big big lie.He has won many tours from Tokyo,Sydney,Paris,Stockholm,S­tuttgart,Manchester,Moscow,Mil­an etc to Wimbledon.Maybe you think that winning all 4 grand slams makes one tennis player 'good'? No.

So how come he was for a long time World No2 (Sampras was No1 for a long time) with so many finals on all grand slams etc?

[ale882xxx]

ivanisevic sucks....

[pajarosnaranja]

huahauhau, "Federer si dimostra un futuro campione", se sapesse cosa ha fatto dopo Federer ;))

[bijou201]

Goran - one and only! No more tennis legends like Ivanisevic was...

[OriginalDaVe]

fed with the gangsta fountain hair. its a good look imo.

[fluxu5]

I think Ivanisevic beamed his talent of playing through his hairstyle into Federers body!

[ParkParkParkPark]

Federer was already fucking good...

[poticiii]

jebote što mu vata ovaj federer

[kakoiijing]

it's hilarious that Roger had the same hair style as Goran!

[DeusII1]

Goran the legend =)

[mikeblair333]

was there an edit in here somewhere that I'm not noticing? The point where goran destroys his racquet he serves on the ad side, then after he goes and gets a new one he serves on the ad side again, even though the last point was an ad point

[Camurgladius]

@mikeblair333 Yeah, it skips the 0-30 point, apparently.

[skevsallen]

@mikeblair333 He received a point penalty for destroying his racquet. You can hear the chair umpire mention it at 1:11

[cynthiamty]

Roger...hermoso desde entonces!! MAESTRO!!

[retox]

Career highlites:

16 slams

Career slam

Losing that hairstyle.

[Rogelle]

I love their pony tails. Rafter had the same look. I was crazy about Goran; and now just as crazy about Roger. :-)

[glutamin111]

Federers reaction to Ivanisevic breaking the racquet was priceless. He definitely did grow up watching Goran smack those racquets and he would give anything for that to happen in his match against Goran.

[burton2r2]

where was this?

[pablotjob]

@burton2r2 london open 2000; this tournament is not played now...

[lbetweenthebars]

babyFed now a wonderful and extraordinary man :)

[Vassago879]

0:51 hahahahahahahaah my man.. :D

[jamchugh1]

Death of serve and volley. Right there.

[cj397]

@jamchugh1 Nah, sampras was still winning slams in 2002 with serve and volley

[AceGuitarR7]

tennis had alot more variety back then....

[SkeksisBestSongEver]

Goran looks so lost in this match! It would be ok if Fed looked a bit amateurish but Goran looked like one that had been a pro for awhile lookwise, not playingwise :P

But don´t talk shit about him, he´s a one time Wimbledon winner, well more than guys like Murray is.

[jzrnsk]

you don't need touch anymore at the net unless you play doubles. returners like nadal are too good. and nadal isn't bad at volleying either. ivanisevic didn't volley with enough power or depth, i think.

[robertk2007]

both sporting the pony tails

[dfd2020]

by luck Fed changes his hair style

[lijevizagreb]

ŠABAN!

[cj397]

what year was htis

[pablotjob]

@cj397 year 2000, London Open 2000....roger was just 19 yrs old

[solopiece]

when was this?

[pablotjob]

@solopiece LONDON OPEN 2000 Round of 16

[wksoh]

Rgoer's hair is the power. Like Samson?

[993turbo]

Is this Federer's sister? hehe...

[RaySefo979]

roger what's with the hair

[RaySefo979]

roger what's with the hair

[74Grom]

Goran will always be the best ! Federer and Nadal don't have a soul or personnality !Goran have balls and a character !!!! Nedostajes nam Gorane vrati se !!!!

[aramiszh]

@74Grom Sure sure... Goran has personality, something that normally is lacking in Croatia.

[kinsmobman]

@74Grom his game was also shitty and one-dimensional. I'd prefer to have no personality but win because im so skilled rather than cap 2 or 3 grandslams and be forgotten barely afterwards

[vidarathexvii]

@kinsmobman suuuuure..

hes game was shitty...

thats why he won ONLY one grand slam, a pitifull, measly one grand slam title, when a person like yourself has won multiple, i'm sure

because of his shitty game...he was mearly worlds number 2 player, thats patethic,he couldn't even beat freakin' sampras (who by your standards is an average player i presume), what a weak player

and you already seem to have no personality, trolling and insulting skills of a player that made a big career in tennis

[kinsmobman]

@vidarathexvii lol we all like to justify greatness if we really like somebody even though wat they did is not necessarily great when compared to better players

[vidarathexvii]

@kinsmobman we all also like to mock the skills of great sportsmen if we dont like them

his game was far from shitty, your comment was just too typical for youtube

[bjarktron]

@vidarathexvii You're such a typical Federer fanboy. Saying his game was shitty just because of a youtube highlight.

[bjarktron]

@bjarktron lol sorry man, was suppost to be a respond to kinsmobman :)

[diaryofalonelysailor]

Goran, one and only... the best

[JForcE777]

Man, you're playing Federer. What did you expect?

[mahvideospwn]

battle of the samurai

[aleksmaric89]

How Funny Roger is with that hairstyle. :DDDD

[pablotjob]

white ball??? not green?

[Currymastuh]

lol i love how federer was luaghing at what goran did after he lost that point, weird how he swtiched to wilson from babolat

[mathiyus]

goran so funny i would have done the same thing and screamed fucking BULLSHIT

[TheMilahim]

goran sta nepocnes opet igrati

[VelikiIgrac]

Goran is as always original :))

[bijou201]

Goran - we love you and we miss you, what a personality, what a tennis player......

[pmo1983]

It is amazing to think that this was in London and neither man was aware of what pleasures the city would give them in the coming years.

[rijfrf]

funny to think that those kids taking federer's signature were like:"ok..let's take his signature..any signature is good!"..then they see him dominate all the tournaments..so they are like:"oh my god..where the hell did i put his signature?!"

[orelero]

@rijfrf hahahahaha LOL so LOL at your comment !!

[DestroyerAlexandros]

Ah really weak play by ivanisevic there. but he rules most of the time

Oh and btw their haircuts suck :D

[Virtuousify]

0:51 haaha

[trannynan]

[blackers11]

nice hair roger!

[ixnay636]

Goran is the king!

[jebigaphh]

GORAN= CAR

VOLIMO TE

[federerbestclass]

sweet Roger ;)

[emailtoring]

when was this match?

[pablotjob]

@emailtoring It was the LONDON OPEN in 2000: Roger was just 19 yrs old (was born in 1981)...........I think this tournament is not anymore in ATP calendar........(London's got 3 torunaments in 2009: Queen's Club; Wimbledon and The Master at O2 Stadium.....)

[1979nanko]

goran je bog!!!!!!!!!

[kakashi1300]

did goran receive a point deduction from racket abuse? because there seems to be only 3 points played in this game.

[StrikinRiekin]

yea he did. You could hear the chair umpire saying so at 1:08.

[LeCroat]

geil,lacht der federer sich einen ab! :-)

[benadam74]

wat year is this?

[leandror19]

quai gon jinn

[CotiSABALERO]

In this year one of Roger's weaknesses was his reverse ... whereas now this way it is attacking on it is a risk to play him for this side

[x15Lovex]

wow look at that guy's serve....ridiculous

[arieltheripper]

Ridiculous... but so powerfull!

[bracojunior]

he is not that guy, he is Goran Ivanisevic!!

[pablotjob]

[namuroisvantjaar]

wow, thanx for posting my 2 all time favourites in 1 match, with the same hairstyle :-) Highlights fromt he first part of this match?

[pablotjob]

[vaadaenmacchi]

who would have known that fed. would be the world's best in under a decade.

[novola1972]

the best ever in tennis history !!! I thought what he could do very well on the tour , but never expected him to do this well

[flyfreak23]

gahhh Federers hair is soooo silly!!!

[drugstoremarc]

Hehuue, Federer was an Ivanisevich's fan! Look at the hair style!

[CroatianHercegovina]

@elhinchaute

From Croatia my friend.

[Imperialage]

[gvibes69]

@Imperialage croatia ,serbia .bosnia ,montenegro its all the same shit ,people only happy having genocide and kill , neonazis and hoolligans killing each others!!!!!!!

[MrTiker123]

[manco82]

Fed is 18 in this video. No indication of the great forehand to come.

[anonymouskey]

[wilkoman3]

Temper Temper

[tekkenmastah]

OWNAGE!!

[dzee127]

A few months ago I saw this Agassi vs. very young Federer match in Basel in around 2000, anyone know where it went? It was fantastic hitting, even though Federer got owned by Agassi back then...little did Agassi know...

[fabolousmike]

Samurai Showdown!

[breakdancerrr]

realy, haha, like two Samurais :)

[SabunjarPrivlaka1967]

this is when ivanisevic was coming to his end and fed rising up

[polychronio]

roger immite ivanosevic hair style??? exact same style...

[dovestones]

Federer with the crazy long hair and hippee beads.

He should bring this look back!

[xman4un]

It's the Samurai look...Safin's done it, Fish's done it, Goran a number of them don the Japanese warrior look in the past.

[Mifojei]

I'm glad Federer sorted his hair out

[DicK118]

Mai qui cabelin feio do Federer nessa epoca heim... heuhaueaheahah

[YamidxxR9]

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

Whats up with Fed ? xD looking like a samurai

[SoooBlue]

Federer's reaction at 0:57 is priceless!

[Nekrohol]
