Monfils vs Baghdatis Aussie Open 2007 Highlights HD

[Shadow8942]

That trainer deserves a raise.

[bd2bulldog]

marocss

[hungsiuming]

monfils is the most crazy tennis ever seen, plz win one french open for us

[hungsiuming]

monfils is the most crazy tennis ever seen

[jumbojim72]

fastest forehand ever hit at 0:32



[rerebill11]

1:00 when he yells what i assume is come on or lets go in french what is he saying. I know allons-y is lets go but it only sounds like he's saying all-y or something i cant tell.

[mamadou1224]

@rerebill11 he says "Allez" which means Come on indeed

[argentinodiegomarado]

Monfils is so better than djokovic

[hattrickster33]

@argentinodiegomarado On a good day maybe but he doesn't play at his best level consistently like Djokovic unfortunately.

[MrMarktie]

monfils looks weird without his prince raquet! :p

[tennispwner101]

2:50 WOAH! ITS TSONGA!

[sdn14]

@tennispwner101 yeah and next year he made it to the finals of this same tournament! I was like "WHO IS THIS GUY?!"

[kelman221]

If monfils would stop fing around and play seriously and have bettter work eithic i don't see why he couldnt be top 5

[kriklan49]

@kelman221 If I were better in tennis, I would be in top 5 too. Sorry, but that is the same logic. Monfils is very athletic and deinately a good player, but hes lacking the finesse of the best players. As many good players do.

[kelman221]

@kriklan49 What? Lol i said if he had a better work ethic he would potentially top 5. What are you trying to argue? It is obvious to me he greater potential. If someone can play like him and not take tennis as seriously as someone like Roger or Nadal does then just imagine. Some people have what it takes, some dont. I think he does, just my opinion from watching him play.

[dwilliams02]

2:49 Tsonga!!

[kriklan49]

@dwilliams02 And what?

[luke1997ja]

what brand did monfils wear here and what round did he make it to?

[Victor8939100]

@luke1997ja THey put a monkey against Baghdatis in this video, WHAT THE FUCK!

[aftfnm]

OLAY!!!

[93RastafarianPikachu]

You see what he could have become? I mean today you see the occasional flash of this brilliance but more often than not he just rolls the ball back into the court...

[thetennisguy100]

monfils is too cocky

[vannyfresh]

monfils is an incredible talent and arguably the most entertaining tennis player today. marcos is total class act though. gotta love them both.

[showbiz216]

3:50 holy fucking shit look at that kid on the right.

[rockerduff1231]

50,000th view! <3

[tj150594]

the most entertaining tennis match ive ever watched lol

[Hamiltoncheater]

M0nfils idiot

[JForcE777]

Monfils is probably the most athletics player on the tour (including Rafa). He has all the physical attributes and the passion, but he needs to play smarter and be more mentally tough. He's getting injured because he's playing the game with his body, not his mind. Here's to Monfils getting his game together and becoming a top 5 player and winning majors.

[VerdascoFan]

@JForcE777 agreed. His menatl game and shot selection definitely need work....Hoepfully he`s putting it together. Let`s go La Monf in the Paris Bercy final vs Soderling...Not another 3rd set tiebreaker

[Keita010]

This is why I love the Aus Open. Apart from many of the epic matches, all the new blokes make their mark here.

[ThailandKyle]

@Keita010 It's true,  I think the best grand slam matches come from this tournament.

[Ralzaly]

Tsonga at 2:49

[TTFAFF]

Monfils is a freakin' weirdo but I do like him!

[A550RGY]

The woman commentator was just making some light humor, people. The two commenters that took offense to her words are from countries where English is not the first language, so perhaps it's a translation/cultural issue.

[hsieno]

I'm digging Monfils' high socks.

[Scorpio7500]

This isn't HD you liar

[mihax209]

Monfilse's shots are insane!!!!! for me, hes the most interesting player to watch.

He makes tennis very interesting to watch, even more that it is without him.

[matty7112]

" i dont think he's that interested in playing tennis"...shes so full of shit

[Joansean]

baghdatis, ever the gentleman

[alkatifa04]

The way both of them greet in the end reminds me why I love tennis so much!

[antoinedk1]

Good thing he is never gonna win a grand slam... :D I hate monfils's attitude on the court!!!

[Geno98]

@antoinedk1

and i bet you love rafa.....



[antoinedk1]

@Geno98 I m a huge Federer's fan but I admire Rafa a lot as well... and I am french!!! So you just lost your bet ;-)

[Geno98]

@antoinedk1

monfil's reminds me of rafa.

your ethnicity means nothing, and monfils is a fine player

[antoinedk1]

@Geno98 I m just saying that even if I m French I can have an objective opinion on a french player. I agree with you Monfils has a very spectacular game but I just hate the way he acts on the court...

[Geno98]

@antoinedk1

i wasn't speaking of your ethnicity at all. in fact, i'm glad that you don't like him because he's french. but i'm just saying, rafa does those things a lot sometimes too, i think it gives them personality. it's your opinion though, in the end.

[frilloz4]

wat an ugly attire for monfils

[kenisinoregon]

mon-beast

[G1r9a9n3t]

JO WILLIE at 2:49!!!

[JnDproductions34]

so much over-celebration by monfils, its a 2nd round match...relax and just play

[subzoroboy]

monfils can only play defensively, not just a little offensively

[Sebbi567]

best 2nd round match ever played =)

[portnawak1]

Monfils (mon fils in french) it's my myson (my son)

[5025danny]

such a biased video. the maker is obviously a monfils supporter. dont get me wrong, i like monfils too, but this guy just shows the points that monfils wins, not 1 point in baghdatis's favour

[subzoroboy]

@5025danny have you watched the videos completely? Of course there are Baghdatis' points in this

[GyariSan]

Monfils plays every point like a match point, hence the constant injuries.

[zozaya10]

at 2:49 is that tsonga?

[johnbr59]

@zozaya10 yes

[kreaze20]

LOL 8:13

F*** that pussy!

[weej267]

whoah does monfils use a clutch forehand almost exclusively or does it just look like that?

[showbiz216]

3:50 kid on the right scares the shit out of me

[AndyMurrayFan217]

Monfils is so entertaining I'd love to see him win something big

[Siphodias92]

9:46 Tsonga was here. He was saying to himself: "Next year it's my turn" :D

[MaratSafinVideos]

You have a very cheesy way of thinking.

[tennismaniac7]

when monfils lost the third set he was acting like a kid

[darkinichou]

Great players !

Superb technic for Baghdatis and magical physic for Monfils !

[VMaxx1111]

7:35 WTF!!!

[MaratSafinVideos]

Monfils is annoying as hell, acting it up all the time, pathetic.

He won't win anything of important, anyway. He's only got 1 title so far and that's one of the worst IS imaginable.

[ManhattanProject9]

@MaratSafinVideos

You mad.

[yomamafat155]

omg baghdatis. my favorite player now along wid nadal :)

[federer101]

fastest forehand ever clocked by la monf believe that!!! number 0:33

[dasdaka]

seems like mr. baghdaddy needs some work to do

[lozuva3]

ragazzi il grande gael e tornato

[doofynetgraouw]

Why the hell is he in pain the moment baghdatis comes back ?

maybe he's a great ahtlete, but look the result, he almost never plays .. and when he does, he has to spend many ours with a machine to cool his knees, in order to be able to run .. like Nadal .. I mean, these kinds of machine aren't very different than doping to me .. but my point is just that being a terrible athlete might not be as good as it seems ..

[stupidity217]

anyone know how fast that forehand was?

[polipoli7]

i heard 120 mph. but some say 118mph

[JtotheP123]

190 km/h which is about 118 mph

[headsupqueer]

well whatever 190 kmh is thats what it was.

[Kcten]

haha love this match of Gael...he's such a great athlete and a GREAT entertainer!

Gotta love this little dance of him 9:31

[gunshow1988]

Monfils, would be good in any sport, im happy he chose tennis.

[theartsofebony]

Amen bro.

[Geno98]

@gunshow1988

amen man, amen.

[SirVetje]

@gunshow1988 I dont know about that, it's just that he doesnt do much with this big talent that he has. He has played several great matches in the past, the only thing he is missing is consistancy :) (late comment i know :P)

[RagingTeaBaggins]

@gunshow1988 cuz hes black

[JexPAuk]

Gaël's nickname is "La Monf" (which actually does not mean anythg)

[JtotheP123]

i personally like to say "Monfils the Beast" cause it rhymes and its true

has a nice sound to it as well

[chrisls88]

Baghdatis looks like Super Mario... Monfils is a perfect example of an athlete playing tennis

[huangyishi]

The further they stand back doesn't give them more power. What gives them power is hip- rotation, that's the main source of power.

And standing so far back isn't the best, unless you are a beast like Monfils. You cannot take shots on the rise while standing so far back.

[scudman88]

Great Match - 7:34 - Baghdatis has a good forehand too!

[huangyishi]

0:33 - 0:34

Holy shit!

[rockerduff1231]

he stays so far back

[rafaga77]

what a beautful game!!!!!!!!

[ohnoazn139]

look how far they stand that is how they get all the power.

[xxEAGLExKINGxx]

it that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at 2:50 ?

[headsupqueer]

yeah thats him. i remember seeing his match against roddick in the first round which he lost but it was very entertaining.

[mysteriekiller]

Yea, alize cornet is sitting there too.

[frozensoulxd]

he wants to support Monfils since their both french

[bananaboy132]

HA baghdatis is a loser and I hope he retires

[BrotherTree1]

fuck u

[littletennisking]

theres Tsonga and Alize Cornet at 2:50

[theartsofebony]

OLE!

[pitufillo92]

monfils is great!! i love how he plays, he´s able to get to almost any ball no matter how far it goes, plus, he's funny. Saw him 2 days ago vs safin, damnn what a game!!

[headsupqueer]

they should have kept the court that color. bunch of bullshit if you ask me....

[Stealthkill749]

Dude..where are Baghdatis' points?

[strojzabelu]

and how about that baghdatis's forehand at 7.35? it doesn't seem to be slower than the one from monfils at 0.34....

[BrotherTree1]

yeh that was pretty big

[LuCaRiOfan94]

omg 0:33 was a bomb. monfils is an immense talent

and look at 2:50..tsonga, my second favorite player, cheering on monfils!

baghdatis is a great sport though. look at the end, how he congratulates monfils

[asdfuogh]

usually hate watching monfils play but man at around 1:13 i think, he does a pretty amazing save

[nyyankeesfan093]

are you serious? i think monfils is so fun to watch

[Valzz99]

Those two are amazig players. Monfils is a "beast" of a player, he tracks the court like no other.

[egghead428]

THAT WAS FREAKING AMAZING

that match was awesome

Gael Monfils is young, but he is REALLY TALLENTED

Baghdatis gave him a good game, but he came up short

they both had to monster serves

especially Monfils' world record breaking forehand winner at 0:33

[BrotherTree1]

i think that forehand also gave him a massive boost of confidence

[Adammythbusterspl]

My respect to both of the players as well as second French player - Tsonga. I love their styles.

[seidl01]

look at 2:50

tsonga is a monfils fan ;)

[sweden92]

What the fuck is wrong with that woman comentator? ''i dont think he likes playing tennis, i think he likes running around and doing the impossible''. How little can you know and still be a comentator?

[mysteriekiller]

Yea I thought it was ridiculous as well

[VerdascoFan]

@sweden92 That`s why women shouldn`t leave the kitchen :P

[TheJwaffle]

@sweden92 She's obviously joking; she's just making a statement about how extraordinary his athleticism is.

[dassmanen44]

@sweden92 fuck her

[PooPooPerson]

Its great to see such an athletically inclined person like Monfils playing tennis :D Everytime he plays a match I know it's gonna be good.

[KryptoQuiksilver]

Hey look, Tsonga is in Monfils's camp.

[pokersuperstar92]

ALLEZ!

[pokersuperstar92]

excellent play from both of these playful warriors, however i really feel Baghdatis could have played better and beaten Monfils. no doubt though that the pair have power, speed, accuracy and talent.

[sheremeti]

he is such a Child Monfils lol

[sheremeti]

Monfils Grunt...hahah very funny:P:P

[imakrazyazn]

does anyone else think that monfils' strokes look really unorthodox, i mean they are effective, but the look a bit....goofy, for lack of a better term to me

[mysteriekiller]

Not really unorthodox, just all of his movements look a bit goofy cause he's thin and long and goofy :p

[SRBNovakDjokovicSRB]

00:33 120 mph bomb

[niclassj]

Both these guys are really humble. I like them both

[reefric]

if monfils need learn´s how to move forward to finish points at the net he can do some damage..because he´s fit,strong,has a pretty strong serve, a good coach is what he need´s..

[Mopzboy]

im not surprised this guy has a problem with injuries. he is forgetting that hard court is not clay and you cant slide around as easily

[intruZo1991]

that's right! he make everything to get every ball on every surface. i think that, for him, doesn´t matter the surface or the injuries, what really matter is getting all the balls. it's a little bit insane, maybe...

[gasquet4ever1994]

@Mopzboy no that isn't right he has spacial shoes so he can slide as easily as on clay

[Mopzboy]

who remembers the 190km forehand monfis hit?

[annaarora]

hey thats tsonga at 2:50..was he pro at that time

[mysteriekiller]

of course he was, he turned pro in 2004

[Etownmu]

how does he slide around like that? its like hes on fricken skates or something.

[kjisbomdigadik]

if monfils figures out how to be constantly agressive, which he can do, he will be in the top 10 for sure. that forehand was amazing.

[mysteriekiller]

Stupid comment, monfils is kind of a counterpuncher especially on the opponent's serve and I don't think he can be constantly agressive and stay consistent. He is an awesome tennis player though.

[123diedie]

Monfils is a beast

[BarelyListening15]

oh yeah

[sizzlinhihat]

I hate Monfils.

[nipal1234]

the thing is, he is annoying because of the screaming, similar to nadal's style, but he is also fun to watch you must admit, his court coverage and all the times he dives for a ball and falls, almost for every match

[sizzlinhihat]

He has plenty of energy (xept when he tanks), he does get annoying, but the worst part is that he's an idiot. It's a style over substance thing for him.

I guess I should be glad he doesn't use his weapons to the best of his abilities, because I couldn't stand having him in the top 10.

[rockerduff1231]

dude that 120 forehand was unbelievable...the timing, accuracy, speed, power, depth..it had everything!!!! greatest forehand of all time!!! and the setup to go along with it? a looper cross court? probably 50 mph? all of a sudden its like a ruptured ball machine just spat out a big green bullet?

[gabeisChen]

This guy is just so fun to watch xD hopefully he'll get into the top 10

[monEYasdfghjkl]

monflis is a monster,speed demon. is is entertainin to see monflis play

[RastafarianPikachu]

its good to see monfils playing the way he can play, not being a counterpuncher

[loveneo89]

he splits

[elecbass100]

oh sweet this video has that 120 mph forehand winner!

[adarshsalian]

that the biggest forehand ever clocked at 0:33

[JaffaRafa]

it must be so fustrating playing a guy like monfils, you can never put the ball away!

[NaturalAffinity]

Nice vid. You can see Jo-wilfried Tsonga in Monfil's player box from 2:50 and onward supporting his countryman.

[dangho1]

how do you get hd on your videos?

[bugatti102]

the biggest forehand ive ever seen!0:33

[intruZo1991]

yeeaah! that was simply great...

He was on fire in that shot!!

[RastafarianPikachu]

its the most powerful forehand ever struck
