John McEnroe Vs Marcelo Rios (senior tour)

[contactafc10]

que gran cretino fue siempre el chino rios.

[albox211]

2:37

"volea a dos manos ahí" WTF

no sabe ni una weá de tenis ese wn

[Bobby61189]

Rios is so cool glad to see him whip mcenroe in the set, very similar players in terms of the lefty angles they have going. mcenroe was playing well but rios was too good in that set.

[robertinhojeff]

 Marcelo rios best ever!!!!

[JJLOB]

J. McEnroe b. 16.02.1959 M. Rios b. 26.12.1975 . At 35 Marcelo (31 in this clip!) is hardly a 'Senior' - he's only 5 years older than Federer.

[CABROSKOCHO1]

@JJLOB but rios has robotic spine...

hi must not..play tennis..futbol..nothing...

that doctor sais....since 1990 so fuck you!

[skyy2]

dont get me wrong i love johnny mac ...but you can clealry tell rios is just toying with him ....rios possibly could have been the best ever

[tataso]

Rios es la mayor mentira del mundo, tiene 20 años menos que mcenroe obviamente se aprovecho. Patetido, John un verdero genio !

[MrMatt7227]

@tataso es un circuito en que solo participan jugadores retirados ademas ello lo hacen por divertirse y si verdaderamente supieras de tenis sabrias apreciar el talento de rios

[purorock469]

@tataso pero si el chino rios podia jugar el torneo senior si es un jugador retirado na que ver con la edad

[tataso]

@purorock469 legalmente si pero es obvioq ue le va a ganar si tiene 20 años menos

[MrLatinochile1980]

@nielslennartohlsen Es que igual mirandolo de un punto de vista neutral,no es logico que los jugadores critiquen asi al publico.Debe hablarlo con el arbitro y por ultimo pedirlo de buena fe.Mal que mal el publico paga su entrada y esas tonteras que claro molestan pero las venden en el mismo estadio.Espero comprendas mi punto de vista.

[MrLatinochile1980]

@nielslennartohlsen Estuve alli,lo se y si siempre suelo hablar verdades jajajajajajajajajjajajaj...

[mhobbit]

@nielslennartohlsen Quoting Rios: "Grass is for the cows..."

[MrLatinochile1980]

McEnroe es un malparido,el chino sera llevado a su idea pero tiene ideales.

Por eso despues que McEnroe critico al publico lo pulverizo!

[DeSantiagoDavid]

who won the game?

[pafcden]

grande chino!!!

[edouc]

wajajaj que taba picao el McEnroe

[theatlantean3]

SUSIO

[PRINCIPITOTENNIS]

I wont look for something thata just a few people love to talk about it, to me it is what it is official and what is official is Rios was first south america to get the number 1 position of the atp, then guga kuerten was the first south american to end the year as number 1

[alin1975]

Win or lose, the fact that Mac can play with (and sometimes beat) players that were still on tour a decade after he retired, and sometimes even longer, says something about his greatness.

[luismichelito]

el chino tambien se paso por la raja al ladrillo del mc enroe jajajajaja...despues se paso por la pichula a la kena larrain y alli cago...esa puta lo pingo como lo hizo con zamorano y el carlos moya

[zhynuaz]

@ThePillox13 el guga hizo eso tambien

[PRINCIPITOTENNIS]

First Southamerican PLAYER TO GET THE 1 IN THE WORLD. 

GREAT RIOS

[sharpasaneraser]

@PRINCIPITOTENNIS vilas was really the first but got screwed

[PRINCIPITOTENNIS]

@sharpasaneraser ok, so he is the first or not?? i mea u got proof in any ranking or something cause if u dont, then he wasnt

[sharpasaneraser]

@PRINCIPITOTENNIS not my job to give you citation...look it up!

[Pat1to]

@lenticio

Este pobre weón aparece en todos lados criticando al Chino...

[fobesq]

McEnroe is an embarrassment, I don't care how well or how poor he plays. His is the symbol of what not to be as a player, sportsman, or human being. He shoulld not be on television. He should be doing time in the big house.

[AllGenreMusic]

@fobesq You would rather have boring, uncharismatic players? I think McEnroe was a joy to have on tour. He was an unbelievable talent with an exciting temper which is why outspoken players like Roddick are great to have on tour, makes it more fun. I don't see why you are still emotionally hurt by McEnroe for his actions 30 years ago.

Fact is, we watch players for their tennis, and he was absolutely talented. His demeanor was just a great bonus on the side. We need more McEnroe-like players

[pablotjob]

el chino es 16 años mas joven que mc enroe, es mucha diferencia...........

[haywood16]

rios = wasted talent

[clantssherwood]

es como obio = que ganara rios si el mcenroe tenia como 50 años :s y el chino 30 , , la edad de un jugador actual como haas

[copavida]

los mejores 2 surdos del pasado

[89Pleasek]

wtf a 30 year old rios against a 50 year old mcenroe, are you shitting me?

[worldted]

@89Pleasek Totally agree with you here. A 20-yr age advantage in such a talented player as Rios is too much for even McEnroe to overcome. Bit of a mismatch as a result. That said, enjoyed watching this.

[napalman21]

en cada video de marcelo rios hay tantos comentarios de gente ignorante!!, deberia tener ese record en youtube. "la persona ke mas comentarios racistas,ignorantes, nacionalistas-chovinistas recolecta en la web

[thebendz]

si critican al chino... que diablos hacen viendo sus videos??

vean los de sus jugadores...

pierden el tiempo.......

[rozdezar]

@thebendz que jugadores wn, si loes pes no tiene ni uno xD

[ignacioambort]

rios con 35 años ganandole al gran mc que tiene mas de 50. mas de 15 años de diferencia, un loco barbaro rios eh

[Mariwa69]

@ignacioambort

Igual fue numero 1. Bien barbaro el loco

[zhynuaz]

cuantos tenistas distintos han ganado gram slams?  muchos depues se pierden...ni hablar de los argentinos,puro GS y 0 numero 1 xD.

ser numero 1 es otro nivel a ganar GS

[IXDanIX]

Marcelo te dono mi columna !! y vuelve a ridiculizar a los payasos de la ATP

[alessrooster]

McEnroe, the most beautiful serve ever!!!

[exaizmahh]

increible marceloooooooooooooooooooo.. lejos el tipo con mas talento que he visto

[carlostabali]

Auquenido...sigues evadiendo y sin contestar. No tienes base, ni fundamento para refutar lo que te expuse.

No me llegas ni a los talones, como todo peruano.

[cuchomaster]

cada uno fue el mejor en su epoca, no hay que quitarles merito a ninguno de los 2

[carlostabali]

Jajaja...Cholazo, creo que necesita mejorar su comprensión de lectura (sí es que tienes)...lea bien lo que le posteé, y después me contesta, con base y fundamento!

Te lo dejo de tarea, pobre y triste wueón!

[carlostabali]

Con suerte alguna vez en tú "país" (si así se puede llamar), tendrán un tenista de esa categoría.

Das risa cholo!...

[sipervic21]

Marcelo Ríos le ganó solo por la diferencia de edades , que retorne al circuito ATP para que le den una verdadera paliza.

McEnroe mucho mejor trayectira que la de Ríos.

[exaizmahh]

que paliza de marceloooooooo a mcenroe.......... es cosa de ver su tenis, el de ntes era mucho menos competitivo...........grande giocatore

[exaizmahh]

Grande Marcelo rios, el mas talentoso

[dreamtheater700]

quienes son los jugadores aregntinos? ?

han sido numero 1 del mundo???

[petewingnut]

I'm no expert but how many guys within even 5 years of Mc Enroe's age could beat him?

[2004Atenas]

Es un jugador que fue uno del mundo el 98.

Te basta con eso???para ser uno no nesesito ganar un gran slam eso es magia

pd:ojala que tu pasi saque un tenista

[cam230723]

Rios is an ass (an underachieving washed-up ass). Gotta love Johnny Mac though!

[plstrom]

this is the best senior tournament...

[fearlesslandrew]

well rios

suffer many injuries.

so is ressistance is like the level of a man like mckenroe.

and many injuries of rios stills are too bad.

On my opinion yes.

rios should wait a little bit long to play seniors

[raspalo]

Marcelo Rios always said is not good GS, but he won many masters (18) like the same conditions a GS, is a pressure problem... who knows? the thing is if somebody forget, him was the first No.1 hispano in doesn't need win a GS to get this, and the only man who won junior, pro and senior, and this is so far to "waisted" talent!

[BigAlbinoDonky]

What is this? Rios is like 35, why is he playing 50 year old men? Go back to the real tour until you're too old Rios.

[mysteriekiller]

Agreed.

[juandi2570]

Los dos jugadores más talentosos de la historia del tenis. El talento y naturalidad de mcEnroe son sin paralelo en la historia del tenis y Rios un talento desperdiciado.

[juscelinor]

Qué hace jugando Rios contra Mc Enroe? Tienen como 15 años de diferencia. Rios, dejá de robar en los torneos para gente adulta, por favor.

[Foorrax]

No es problema de él. Problema de las organizaciones que lo permiten.

[exaizmahh]

marcelo rios el mas talentoso de la historia. mcenroe igual un gran jugador

[yomismo43251]

@exaizmahh ?¿?

[ChristianPaul75]

Say what you will about Rios character, but he was and is an incredibly gifted Tennis player. He´s arguably the best player who never won a Grand Slam tournament. He makes playing Tennis look so easy and effortless, just like Federer or Mac in his prime.

[bobbykoedkotto]

i agree with you hes very smooth hitter of the ball and looks effortless

[ultimateone1]

watch?v=EmJi_oc7t10&feature=re­lated

watch mcenroe.....lol

[ultimateone1]

Mcenroe has the better record... but he played at a time when there were like 1 million tennis players, rios played when there were ca. 10 million players.

now the competion is stronger then ever..

rios was fun to watch, mcenroe was boring.

mcenroe= titles

rios= the real deal

I agree mcenroe has better history, but cant be compared to rios in terms of technical abilities.

I prefer to watch beauty and technical tennis.

[gus4281]

ultimateone1, you dont know nothing about tennis...go watch some videos and come back for forgiveness for all the bullshit you said about johnny mac....mcenroe is one of the most talented tennis player of all time, piece of nationalist shit

[ultimateone1]

I never said mcenroed sucked, i said that rios war more technical.

there are guys here making fun of rios and I feel the need to defend him.

Dont come here and talk to me like you know fuck all....

you're the one talking bullshit

rios= number1

mcenroe= legend

Rios was fun to watch.... Everytime you talk shit about rios ill come back and talk shit about your player.

[TWKang]

Where do you get the figures of 1 million and 10 million? The popularity of tennis has gone up in some countries, gone down in others, and stayed the same elsewhere. In any case, the 80s is considered one of the most competitive eras ever.

Anyway, the real reason why Rios never won even one Slam was because he was inconsistent. Although he was very gifted and could beat anyone when playing at his best, he was hindered by mentally fragility and a lack of dedication to the game.

[TWKang]

And you clearly havent watched any of McEnroes matches if you think hes boring. He was one of the most artistic players in the games history. His one-of-a-kind touch and feel allowed him to hit volleys that no one else before or after him has emulated.

[JoAkO2534]

@TWKang you re right, totally agreed. And adding some things, his body was not suited for play tennis

that was an important factor too maybe.

[Kishnabe]

They are both talented. Mcenroe had the best touch and volley. Considered prodgidy whgen he reached wimbledon semifinals first time playing. Mcenroe talented. Rios wasted talent.

[wksoh]

Marcelo is sooo goood

[andreaoffshore]

No existen los talentosos, existen los que entrenamos duro, y luego nos dicen "que talensosa que sos"....

[neitzokavatar]

Nalbandian es bueno, pero mejor que Rios ? estas equivocado

[stebanloko]

chakychon nalbandian???jejajajaj ahy me cagaste jejaja talentoso?¿?¿jejajaja por favor los otros te creo pero nalbandian???jejajajjaa....sal­udos

[cantinflas28]

Todos los que nombras, pero Nalbandian metido ahi en absoluto. Todos los que llegaron a n° 1 cuentan, el resto no marcan nada, sólo una buena presencia. En todo caso, me parece una idiotez que Rios juegue con Mcenroe que es un viejito.

[chakychon]

Rios jugaba bien, pero que despues algunos boludos ( chilenos) lo nombren como el mas talentoso de la historia es una barbaridad total, hay jugadores mucho mas talentosos, (mcenroe, federer, sampras, rod laver, jimmy conors, borg, nalbandian, etc

[Hammill]

te creo todo, menos la pelotudez de que nalbandian es más talenso.

[sachareturn]

jajjajaja el boludo eres tú!!!! Nalbandian jajajajajajjajajajajajajjajaja­jajajajajajajajjaja

[Satch6strings]

mmm.. nalbandian? NOOOOOO

el chino lo patea

[nickocapel]

Rios was play to Jakob Hlasek when Rios only had 18 years, Hlasek won 7-6(5) 3-6 6-2 in Gstaad, Switzerland.

Jakob Hlasek was a swiss player and this match was play in home.

[datacipher]

and? This does not change the story I told. I guess you are not comprehending the point, which is that Rios was one of the most hated players of all time. Nobody thinks Hlasek was a better player. Yikes.

[datacipher]

Once Rios was to play Jakob Hlasek, who was struggling to win a match and planning to retire at the end of the year. The other players so hated Rios that they lined the path to the courts and cheered and encouraged Hlasek as he came out for the match telling him to kick Rios' butt! (this is something pro players DO NOT do openly) It so encouraged Hlasek that he actually won the match and decided to play an extra year!

[daraemkar]

Is it me or does Rios look like a Pirates of the Caribbean character?

[angryniggah]

rios is only 5'9" and has a pretty effective serve; his service motion is effortless. his game is light and airy like john's, but he creates even more astonishing angles.

[andreaoffshore]

Marcelo fue la creacion de PATO CORNEJO...

[snoop0231]

grande chino wn!

mcroe ql, viejo ql pajero. lo caga la mujer y ni sabe el ql.

Rios #1

[xfrank88x]

simplemente el tenista mas talentoso de todos los tiempos,jugadas como el 360 freak shot,smah sentado y muchas mas no se volveran a ver, grande chino ..vilas ni te llegaba ni a los talones (vilas un segundon!noma)

[antroig]

rios no es nadie!

[nachondistico]

y NADIE es perfecto...

[andressampras01]

Marcelo Rios, es un gran tenista, el mejor de latinoamerica, en un nivel muy elevado. Una mencion a Guga y a Vilas, que son muy buenos. Jhon McEnroe, es un idolo mundial, por que despues de ganar todo, sigue jugando con todas las ganas.

[jastral]

Most talented player ever: Marcelo Rios period

[ActionRadar886]

More like "Most talented player to never win a slam."

[Pitonto]

McEnroe is a legend. Rios who is?

[ausrico]

Rios used to be a very good tennis player, he was ATP No1 in the world and he never won a Slam. Also, for your information he used to go party all night and then fuck retarded idiots like you who ask stupid questions.

[datacipher]

This is correct. He was a very talented but flakey underacheiver. Mentally he was very weak, as many of his coaches admitted. He tanked and collapsed in many matches. As a result, he an "almost great". His whole career is a tragedy in that sense. But it's true, compared to the true greats, like Mcenroe, Rios is a total nobody.

[robinho1979]

Safin ..(who by many tennis Pro believes should of won more slams) even say's Marcelo Rios is a Huge under-achiever. Safin to his credit though metally un-stable won 2 slams..where Rios in 50 years time will be forgotten.

[robotontoilet]

Yep. Safin didn't even come close to living up to his talent, he squandered all those chances but he will at least be able to point to the 2 times he did come through. While Rios will simply be trivial footnote in history, and he will have nobody but himself ot blame. He had the feet and hands of a great but not the head of a champion.

[therabbit27]

I couldn't agree more.

[luifius]

dos personajes distintos del tenis enfrentados en tiempos muy dispares pero los dos hicieron lo q quiecieron con sus rivales .... cada uno a su manera ambos carismaticos y geniales en sus tiempos ojala salga algun jugador distinto y con personalidad luego con ese talento no creo pero bueno grande rios y gracias por mostrar esa muñeca q es unica en la historia del tenis ... a los argentinos miren tienen q poner nalbandian , gato , potro, escoria para ver sus videos chaoo

[sacktified]

rios better than all those useless 70's players with out a doubt!!!

[ilsur]

come on guys, rios is like 15 years younger than mcenroe. this match is meaningless.

[azhazel1]

Hey man, this is clear, The best Rios would've beaten the best McEnroe. The thing is that in that time when McEnroe played there weren't many good players who could beat him, therefore he would win any kind of tournament. On the other hand when Rios played, there were too many good players so the competition was harder. At Mcenroe's time only Connors, Borg and McEnroe himself used to win everything, there was no competition, so that's it, the facts are clear.

[JonnySV]

That is utter and complete BS. Back in McEnroe's time, you had no idea who was going to win because of the depth in the game. Both were about equal in the talent level, but who had more tournament wins and/or grand slams in the end?

[freeece1]

What a load of utter nonsense. McEnroe played in the time of Borg, Becker, Connors, Lendl and Wilander, all of whom won multiple Grand Slams. You clearly know very little about tennis.

[freeece1]

If you say something like "the facts are clear" you need to supply some. Rios actually played in a time when the competition was less strong. There was Sampras and Agassi, who took two years off the game when Rios was at his peak, and that's about it. Rios was a stroppy choker not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as McEnroe, or indeed Borg, Connors, Becker, Wilander, Agassi or Lendl.

[tommie66tx]

you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

[karlomagno77]

saaaaaaaaaaaaale ctm

chupalo

[jastral]

Rios most talented player ever

[javiventa666]

mcenroe no salva a nadie ahora......viejo enojon no mas

[garytotti]

Rios doesn't normally make grunts when he hits the ball. I'm pretty surprised he's doing it everytime he hits the ball in this match. I think he's trying to make a mockery out of Mc Enroe by making grunts to sound as if he's has to "work hard" to play MC Enroe. We all know Mc Enroe, considering his age, is not in the same league as Rios.

[tommie66tx]

Rios has never seen Mcenroe's league. Rios can't compare to Mcenroe, regardless of his age.

[massorkw]

en la epoca q fuera rios le gana lejos a mcenroe

the best rios vs the best mcenroe

rios win

[tommie66tx]

you kow nothig about tennis is you actually think that. Mcenroe at his best would DESTRYO rios on any surface. THeir records can't even compare. 19 majors, 77 singles titles,78 doubles titles and over 200 wks at # 1. Rios was #1 for what 3 wks and didn't even play a grand slam final. Get a clue MCENROE OWNS!!!

[Aodaliyah]

Your facts are totally wrong. Mcenroe spent 170 weeks at No.1. He won 7 grand slams in total. Doubles grand slams don't count for shit, otherwise Todd Woodbridge would have been the greatest player ever.

[tommie66tx]

you're an absolute moron if you think doubles grand slam titels don't count.That's what makes a player a complete champion. Being able to win on All surfaces and All types of play. Doubles,mixed and singles. So yes he won 19 majors. As for Todd Wooddrige, he only won 78 doubles titles and something like 5 singles. No where near being the greatest player ever. THat's just a stupid argument.

[Aodaliyah]

Do you know Leander Paes, or Mahesh Buphati? Those guys almost won all four doubles grand slams in the same year, yet nobody even cares. And if you coult doubles slams, Mcenroe only won 10 doubles and 7 slams. 10+7=17 you moron.

[freeece1]

No-one apart from you counts doubles slams when working out who the greatest players are. Doubles is a minor sideshow. Period. If being able to win on all surfaces is so important then Agassi is the best ever as the only man to win Slams on three different surfaces. I'd go for Federer myself and he's never won the French, and he certainly doesn't play doubles.

[datacipher]

There couldn't be any question about this from people who actually know tennis. It's a silly premise. Rios is a very talented, "could have been great" player....kind of like an Henri Leconte. Mcenroe is a multiple slam champion. And OF COURSE he's beating up on Mcenroe, he's SEVENTEEN YEARS younger. In pro tennis terms, that's about 3 full generations BETWEEN them! It's an amazing tribute to Mcenroe that he can even play with him!

[RoseEdw]

no puedes comparar las epocas, la verdad es muy dificil saber si rios le hubiera ganado a mcenroe antes por que se jugaba con otras raqutas etc. lo que si es seguro es que en los 90's mcenroe nunca le hubiera ganado al chino seria muy similar a esto

[datacipher]

It's just shows that a guy who was the most hated player on the tour hasn't changed his lousy attitude at all. Mocking a multiple slam champion who's SEVENTEEN years older, when you never even won one is not cool.

[Samprasisthebest]

Mcenroe>Rios

[sepulthrash]

Rios>Menroe

[Samprasisthebest]

NOT

[Samprasisthebest]

7 grand slams>not even one grand slam final.

[datacipher]

Rios made an Australian open final but he then choked it away. He can beat Mcenroe on the seniors tour with his HUGE age advantage but at the end of the day he isn't fit to carry Mcenroe's shoes and the record proves it.

[apusbass]

Comentarista, 2':38'': "volea a dos manos ahí"

5 años en la universidad y habla puras weás, no tiene idea de tenis. Eso se llama devolución de servicio, con revés a 2 manos.

[muaythaiegg]

jajaj claro...pero no creo que el problema se centre en la calidad periodistica, sino que porque actualmente el "periodismo deportivo" es netamente futbolístico. Los tipos opinan sólo fútbol y si les hablan de otro deporte no saben nada....

[Degapardo]

jaaja no me habia fijado, en too caso... de repente seria mejor dejar a ex tenistas comentar, como es el caso de clerc y frana en espn

[esemazdiaz]

grande chino

[mauribeats]

muy corto tu video

[sear0x]

Maestro el Chino Wn, Imitado, Jamas Igualado por su talento :D

[luchboxer]

maestro?? imitado?? qué records tiene? cuántos grand slam ganó? En la historia del tenis Ríos fué un muy buen jugador y nada más. Además esta es la sombra de mc enroe. maestro si le hubiese ganado así en los 80.

[crodriguezuc]

todos los argentinos seguian a rios..los jugadores actuales lo tienen como idolo!!fue el primer latinoamericano en ser 1 y motivo a toda una nueva camada de jugadores sudamericanos a jugar al tenis...como a coria,gaudio,nalbandian,gonzal­ez,massu,etc.

[luchboxer]

los tenistas argentinos jamas pueden tener como ejemplo a alguien que cuestiono la grandeza de guillermo vilas guillermo vilas
