Philipp Kohlschreiber - Just Incredible (HD)

[quest8899]

those are some big forehands

[Leonardo4190]

Nice Backhand :))

[GreyManny]

This video isn't described as Just Incredible because of the shots that Kohlschreiber makes, it's called Just Incredible because he can return Roddick's serve :-3

[tennismaestro3]

too bad Kohlschrieber has done nothing of the sort since

[TJFederer15]

jesus unbelievable stuff from Kohlschreiber, some of the most outrageous bh winners ive ever seen, he was just hitting them for fun from any position and were all landing in, shame i havn't seen him play this well since,

[Alexrfmgfull777]

if he plays on AO with this forme,that will be total sensation!!!

[TheSwissMaestro89]

Roddick deserves props for almost weathering that skillstorm.

[egmaverikc84]

not htat hard to look good against roddick. does not impress me.

[bobomber]

Makes you wonder why he doesn't play like this more often... He is capable.

[AeroLover23063543]

Roddick had three set points in the third, Ouch!

[RespectDepression999]

I dont think Kohly has that pace anymore. Or the heart, outside Germany :(

[rockerodestructor]

It's amazing for me that Philipp in the best shape of his life can not compare a regular Federer or Nadal.

[66Epicfail]

I'm a german-american and Philipp is one of my favorite players ever!



[NikkiSoft]

wow. that was awesome.

[OreoEater100]

OMFG kolhschreiber is so good in this match ;D

[fuhhhhQue]

Truly incredible.

[hattrickster33]

Almost like Federer circa 2005...

[Shodai24]

Wow...this is like watching Fed on steroids lol

[wordlyfe]

the problem with roddick is that he gets returns chipped back and he backs up and waits for the ball to come to him instead of moving in and taking it out of the air or on the rise... kohli is amazing, I wish he was on TV more

[joecoolsthename]

he is a fucking tanking little useless cunt. what a fucking loser

[hattrickster33]

@joecoolsthename Who Kholschreiber?

[mispeaced]

That's absolutely CRAZY!)

[davd1986]

I think every single guy with a one hander has a great one hander, and IMO, they are all beautiful backhands. Almagro, Gasquet, Federer, Haas, Kohlschreiber, Youzhny, Ljubicic, Wawrinka, Dimitrov. Apart from Federer, all these guys's backhands are their more potent shots. Retired players with great single handers are Gaudio, Lendl, Stich, Rafter, Edberg, Becker, Kuerten, Sampras (although his forehand was much, much better).

[MrDonnie54]

kohlschreiber looks like gonzo

[fghrere]

i believe kohlschreiber has the most beautiful tennis of the atp tour. after quiting tennis for 13 years i lost my 2 handed backhand and i do everything i can now to copy his backhand. lol.

[Elitearcher]

Top 5 1HBH:

Wawrinka, Gasquet, Kohlschreiber, Federer and Almagro.

[armintaletovic]

@Elitearcher Gasquet first then wawrinka and others ;-) 8-)

[Sebbi567]

@Elitearcher the onehander from thommy haas is way better than the one from almagro i think ;)

[gewuerzwiesel123]

@Elitearcher Michael Stich, not to forget :-)

[davencero]

a shame he never played that well again

[TheSupertennisking]

Roddick can win US Open champion 2011.

But Roddick need a little bit change, after Roddick do it, Roddick's dream will come true, I am 100% sure. I am serious.

I think Roddick can win Wimbledon champion 2012 and US Open champion 2012.

[theendlesswind]

what a crazy match from Philipp!!!!

[berkeleylawyer]

He's got Thomas Muster tonight, I say Muster gets at least 6 games, maybe 7.

[lush1993]

THIS GUY IS SICK!!!!!!!!!1

[galloppa82]

questo è veramente un fenomeno..

[ahmedlama2]

nadal made him even more sick in that tournament with the banana

/watch?v=4bYdXnvdH5Q&feature=r­elated

[playmauricio]

AMAZING TENIS !! 

[greentvify]

kohli!!!!!!!!!!!!

[clakebrink]

damn i wish i could have seen this match LIVE in the stadium... btw i met Kohlschreiber a few times in Halle... he´s really nice and is so down to earth guys i can tell you

[Osiris3657]

Just echoing the sentiments of everyone else...really talented player, but just can't put this level of play together on a consistent basis. Hell a couple weeks ago he won one of the warmup tournaments (Halle) and lost in the first round at Wimbledon to fucking Denis Istomin...DENIS ISTOMIN! Come on Kohli, you're better than that!!!

[mauldepp]

what a sloppy backhand from andy

[yallowsheep]

kohlschreiber is one of the biggest talents on tour, but mentally one of the weakest!!

[ibanezatleti]

He should change his name to Chokerschreiber

What an idiot . Whenever he beats a top ten player in a slam he loses quickly in the next round . Really what a dickhead .

[bpatrice49]

Incredible match. I remember missing the whole thing more than three years ago now. I left for work at 2-2 in the first set thinking Roddick was on his way to the fourth round. When I got home Kohlschreiber had match point. I was like 'What!!' It was such an amazing game. The shame was this match was the reason Connors left Roddick. His mother had just passed away, but he still came to australia to support Roddick. He was left disheartened after this exit.

[gurke333]

wwwooooowww

[rachray83]

Yep, but tennis is about consistency, if he played like that all the time or most of the time he'd be ranked higher, but he's certainly capable of it.

[manny1a2a3a]

i would love to see Kohlschreiber play Montanes

[tennisballer33]

4:52 omg



[doofynetgraouw]

There are no player with a one-handed BH which i don't love... This is soooo wonderful ! Fed, Waw, Kohl, Gasquet to only name the best 4 !

Let's go back to it, it is so beautiful !

[zrxkawi]

@doofynetgraouw With all due respect to those 4 i venture to say that Nicolas Almagro has without a doubt the most superb one handed backhand in tennis and maybe ever ... if youve never seen it live you owe it to yourself ... i would say Kohli's is a close second!!!

[darthnozo]

1:42 Pizza's ready!

[msane4XX]

I just don't like Kohlschreiber. He's got some sneaky, shift, snake eyes.

[SSky06]

It's crazy that Roddick was even able to force a 5th set the way Kohly was murdering the ball. He clearly ate his wheaties that morning. I've never seen anyone hit the ball harder than in this match. It must have just been one of those few days a year that every tennis player has where they just can't find anything but the very center of their racket.

[davd1986]

Kohschreiber's one weakness in terms of shots is that he doesn't have the necessary power to play like this consistently. He's what, 180 cm or 5'10-5'11? He hits it hard for a smaller built player, but I think power and consistency is what really does him in. The other thing is belief. He's been real good at staying around the top 30 the last 3-4 years, but he's got no real breakthrough at a big tournament.

[AceGuitarR7]

@davd1986 Agassi, Borg, Mac, Connors, Hewitt, Davydenko, Ferrer, Simon, Rochus, Santoro, Nalbandian around 5"10' or smaller... there are pros and cons for both big and small. i think 6"1' is the perfect height though and laver was 5"8 too

[davd1986]

@AceGuitarR7 True. Sampras, Federer, Nadal: all at 6'1/185cm! LOL. Rochus is an incredible talent, something that Federer says himself. Here's a guy who is 5'5/5'6, but has excellent mechanics, moves well and is a fighter, pity we haven't seen more of him. Simon is very interesting and one of the more unorthodox players. Besides being very scrawny, he kind of has the roddick/kafelnikov straight arm extenstion on the backhand side and a soderling-esque forehand. It looks very stiff.

[AceGuitarR7]

@davd1986 yeh rochus is a freak... lol he must be an incredible ball striker. i myself am 5"10, 5"11 with shoes on which is a bit over the average height but for tennis i think its basically border line but i feel so disadvantaged. i have to make up for it by going for a lot more on my shots. i think with extra height helps on the serve, not so much ground strokes. you get alot more "easy power" and more clearnace over the net.

[toobart4u]

sick:D



[OreosRG0od]

Roddick looks really slow in this match... Can't run for anything. -_-

[stdss86]

AWESOME!!!! It was his best match ever

[PercentZero]

He is one with the racket

[FedererNation2RF]

i just love this video

[Edu2503]

I love Kohlschreiber's running backhands! They are so crazy!

[TheListhename]

In this match, Kohlschreiber's game is beautiful to watch. A trrue talent.But he can't play like this every time. This is the difference between extremely talented tennis players and Federer.

[fujixsempai]

his backhand he is like a floating butterfly.

[jorrrma]

haha love that comment @4:50

[YamahaThePower]

Amazing :) :)

[nubslayerkiller]

5:40 How does he do that? This guy is a beast

[Zpeed08]

I'm speechless. Never seen that many amazing backhands, not even fed. Holy Shit. If this guy played like this everyday, he would be unstoppable. periods. Fed at his best can't play like this, i dont think. Or even Nadal or any of the top 10.

[honestyize]

@Zpeed08 it's amazing. every dog has his day

[yoootooobeee]

Pound-for-pound kohlschreiber has more firepower than anyone on tour. The guy's like a buck-forty, tops... any probably the only guy capable of serving his own weight.

[MrModernfx]

4:50

HELLO

wut a return of serve

[Temoorcoresystem]

he is beast

[PSneakysound]

4:58 That's one hell of a backhand !!! Remember me the one Federer hit in AO2008 semi-final against Djokovic.

104 winners from Kohlschreiber in a match, that is just... unreal. It also shows you how well Roddick played too.

[steven860305]

kolschreiber's backhand is incredible!he made lots of passing shot by backhand

i want to see a match that this match kolschreiber vs 2007 gonzalez

it must be the greatest match!

[dassmanen44]

over 100 winners

creepy

[ChanOwns]

This is what happens when Federer plays that well

watch?v=o6YiMHI4NBg&feature=re­lated

[coriaelmago101]

don't compare kohlschreiber to nalbandian, nalbandian is at another level, id compare kohlschreiber to someone like gulbis, but nalbandian is much better

[ManiPulatoR84]

5:23 - 5:29 wtf?! Never seen anyone hit a ball like that off such a low slice! Sick!

[1995Alexander]

I bet that if he played like this every time he could win against Nadal sometimes.

I think he could definitely stay in the top 10 or top 5.

[tennisstevo32]

@1995Alexander If he played like this every time he probably would be one. The only reason it went the distance and was close because Roddick was playing really good as well

[15mitc15]

what a match

to bad he cant play like this every time

[mrSnakeeye20]

@15mitc15 then philip should be top 10 in the world

[bhallic24]

that was one of the best tennis matches i've ever seen. absolutely remarkable. props to them both.

[balu300]

a very talend player....probbly needs to flatten out forehand and cross court backhand or atleast hit them deep to find more success against the big boys

[r0baa]

he really comes under the ball on his forehand

[Zoso666]

@r0baa Yes, and he really seems to suffer in every forehand and the worse is that the ball doesn't come out with any power

[polkadot1313]

@Zoso666 Ya roddicks forhand sucks now.

[VerdascoFan]

@MrM3erky

Yeah, he does. He's incredibly gifted. Like Nalbandian he hasn't made the most of it yet though. Although, he's only 26 and has shown flashes of brilliant matches. Hopefully he's a late bloomer and will start to come into his own.

[MrM3erky]

why cant he play like that every match

[VerdascoFan]

@MrM3erky Because it's called "Best of match of your life" and "playing out of this world" for a reason. No one plays their best every match.

[MrM3erky]

@VerdascoFan

i agree but he has so much potential if only he had a little bit more confidence

[VerdascoFan]

Kohlschreiber does seem to play really well at and against "better" (or higher ranked, or consistently playing better) though. He steps it up. Great competitor, great athlete.

[foul01]

along with tipsarevic two underdogs no tennis player in the top 10 would like to meet in the early rounds

[davd1986]

@foul01 ...And poor old Roddick has had to face off against both of them in the early rounds of slams!

[BrotherTree1]

some hitting by kohli. just bossed roddick around in that baseline and cracked it in the corners real good when the ball fell short at times.

[AcousticLvr22]

his passing shots are just remarkable! :o

[FedererNation1RF]

theyre both in the stratosphhere! hahha

[FairwayJack]

Wow...that was Federer-esqe
