Fernando Gonzalez : World's best forehand in tennis

[xrevolutionrocker]

Thanks Fernando, for all the good moments to our country, Chile is proud of you (:

[benjamin8888blue]

1:17 is that R.Nadal girlfriend?

[lotrringereras]

everyone just do me a favor and just hear, dont watch, from 3:58 - 4:10

[DamianTheFarmer]

i played and watch alot of tennis....alot. No one comes close to Fernandos forehand in terms of power...maybe not the most consistent, but definitely the moest vicious.

[NiggeliNG]

@DamianTheFarmer delpo maybe, his forehand is pretty bombastic too

[edouc]

6:49 notable wn grande gonzalez

[MYHEARTMUTMINI10]

Te vamos a extrañar maestro!

[panxozico]

gracias feña por tantas alegrias a los chilenos

[Vajrayana100]

Gonzalez...the best....thank you for all, i miss you in the tournaments

[mirukoi]

he announced his retirement of tennis a couple hours ago :C i saw the press confference he was on the limit of braking apart u.u

[Pulse1390]

Niiiico :))))

[ItsMinarmy]

I agree with the title of this video, never have I seen a better forehand on the tour, that includes Roger, Rafael and Djokovic.

[carmela333ful]

I see this and Im Proud my name is Also Fernando Gonzalez!!!

[VDroid711]

Fernando Gonzoalez, the biggest cheater on tour (Olympics 2008 SF)

[MrAmon1995]

I didn't know tennis was played with just two racquets

[matiifreak]

the best and strongest forehand of the world he had beaten federer nadal agassi sampras djokovic every so don't say he doesn't has the best forehand

[lotrringereras]

@matiifreak nono dude, this is tennis, and forehand is just a part of it.

[callofduty2md]

i wonder...why he is not Nr 4 in the world???

[banditjr770]

a rabbit dies every time he hits a forehand.

[banditjr770]

adequate

[phatschtuff]

Gonzo really had a POWER game ... please, come back!

[lugiadoom]

the japanese commentators are amazed, saying he is going his own way.

[lukeinarizona]

the best forehand? pretty good ..but can't beat Federer's or Djokovic's

[nipal1234]

@lukeinarizona maybe.....I can't argue too much because Fernando is having injury anfter injury :( let's hope he can return to his best...

[kiwi115]

@lukeinarizona better than federers and djokos forhand

[derintegra]

@lukeinarizona mmm i don't think so. The thing is that gonzalez has a pretty bad backhand, compare with his amazing forehand. Nole and roger have greats backhands and very good forehands. If Gonzalez had, let's say, a normal backhand, he wouldn't have to run that much for hitting with his forehand, and he would be as good as the big 4...

[jOukOrn]

@lukeinarizona The best and the most powerfull forehand on the history of tennis!

[Vajrayana100]

@lukeinarizona yes he can beat federer in the master shangai 2007 and the year 2006 beat djokovick

[franxo0ke]

@lukeinarizona La derecha de González es la mejor de la historia! mucho mejor que la de federer o Djokovic, de echo gonzález a vencido a Nole

[soloquierosignearme]

@franxo0ke Y que tiene que ver que lo haya vencido con que tenga mejor o peor derecha? nada, si vamos a ver eso desde tu punto de vista el historial de Federer contra Gonzalez es de 11-1. Por eso la derecha de Federer va a ser mejor que la de Gonzalez? no tiene nada que ver, igualmente yo opino que Federer maneja mas variantes de derecha que Gonzalez, me gusta mas su derecha.

[lotrringereras]

@lukeinarizona lool you think? i think it can, just by comparing both on a video you can realize

[NiggeliNG]

@lukeinarizona what the... ?! djokovic? NOVAK DJOKOVIC?! the guy's forehand is AWFUL! it sucks big time! i can understand that you mention federer, but djokovic?? no, never has the guy a better forehand than gonzalez!

he might have a pretty good backhand, but his forehand really is nothing out of the ordinary!

[phester061594452]

Ever heard of James Blake? 

[D101N1]

this one is pretty good, but still....worlds greatest forehand is federer's...

[dreikonestilo1]

espectacular !!!! 

[cosmito6]

Sin dudas, la mejor derecha del mundo

[hungsiuming]

might be the biggest...best ? sorry i dun think so, he can produce a 190kmp forehand doesn't mean he knows how to use it, a good forehand should all-round.

[johnjohns65]

gonzo!!

[tatanjoe]

crack!...cuanto sabe esa derecha papa!

[DJniggaz5]

weon potente jaajja

[chri095k]

2:03 danish commentary!

[hattrickster33]

Not the best forehand but probably the guy who hits the fastest shots consistently. Monfils still has the record for fastest forehand ever but most of the time he hits really weak and just defensively. Best forehand is probably Nadal or Federer.

[TomssonRodriguez]

Del Potro´s forehand is harder and better

[matrs23]

@TomssonRodriguez Argentinian mode on: " I'm Argentinean and I'm always better , faster and stronger than you"



[immrosorio]

@matrs23 hahaha so true

[Edu2503]

@matrs23 BURNED!!

[Pablo123456x]

@matrs23 Hey, we are nothing like that!

We are not ALWAYS the best.

Sometimes a dishonest referee or a fraudulent umpire won´t let us. :)

[Ciprianodelaguna]

@TomssonRodriguez Del Potro is nothing ...so shut up your fuckin mouth

[jOukOrn]

2:42

[Fernandez218]

best forehand is a matter of opinion. in terms of power and/or depth maybe, yeah. in terms of placement and control i put Federer in first, or Nalbandian/Safin above him, at least.

[DonChilenito]

@Fernandez218, well his winner forehands are well placed in the area that's why he gets so many winner points with his forehand

[FiReBLaDe47]

2:10 a lo chino rios

[lucianopanizza]

i could never get enough of watchin gozo's forehands

[supremethunderer]

Wow.. those forehands are like fury!

[homelanhouse]

0:46 take that....

[imaganster44]

Blakes forehand is harder

[pipipapipe]

@imaganster44 the answer to that is here 4:44-5:38

[imaganster44]

@pipipapipe His forehand isn't even fast against blake.

[pipipapipe]

@imaganster44 haha ok thats your opinion ;)

ask any other person

[bafanabafanas1]

@imaganster44 gonzalez forehand beats the crap out of blakes one... even if not gonzalez stills as blakes daddy, he beats the shit out of him every game

Dont you remember, semifinals in Beijing 2008 Olympics?

[captainbryce1]

@bafanabafanas1 You mean the match where Gonzalez CHEATED. Who could forget! Anyways, their forehands are comparable to each other. Different technique but equally great. I actually prefer Blake's because he takes a shorter backswing and can take the ball earlier while matching Gonzo's power. But Federer still has the BEST forehand because he can hit winners more consistently than Blake or Gonzo.

[bafanabafanas1]

@captainbryce1 Well, everyone has his own opinion. I like a lot Gonzalez forehand "style"... it has a lot of class. And i can´t discuss you on Federer´s forehand, it´s definitaly the best one in the circuit

[joshuanaconda]

@captainbryce1

No one, NO ONE can Match gonzos power, he has the world record on a 189 km/h forehand and I was on on court that day, Gonzalez has never been a cheat, his always behaved in a very ethical manner through out his career, saying that he cheated agains Blake is your opinion, he said afterwards in an interview he honestly did not feel his raquet had touched the ball, does it even matter ? he always beats the crap out of him anyway.

[captainbryce1]

@joshuanaconda First of all, Gonzalez does NOT have the world record forehand, that belongs to Gael Monfils who hit one at 118mph at the 07 Aussie Open. Secondly, everyone saw the replay in Gonzo/Blake match so we know he didn't deserve that point. I understand that you like to suck Gonzo's dick and that's fine, but let's not be ignorant about the facts. I don't care what he said in an interview, I fucking saw what happened and he's a cheat! And that's MY OPINION. Goodbye!

[joshuanaconda]

@captainbryce1

Dude, calm down =) , do your research about the forehands, I speak no lie and I am aware about Monfils forehand, seen it a few times on youtube. Secondly, of course any idiot can see that the ball touched gonzo's raquet and that the point was not his, all I am saying is that he has good sports ethic and he did not realise he had touched it, so the Fact for ME is that he did not know. It doesn't matter, cheat or not he would fuck him up with one arm anyway =) ciao.

[agustinas960]

@captainbryce1 and you suck the penis de blake jajajaj

[pipipapipe]

@imaganster44 just see the matches that they have played hahaha the answer is there .... in those matches you will only see gonzalez's forehand shining

[MrQuinceJam]

Wicked commentary from 6:29 to 6:54. The guys are almost in disbelief.

[omnibusim]

lol I like his string of grunts that lead up to the forehand winner!

[aftfnm]

8:13-8:20 sit the fuck down.

[unofighters]

2:45 OMG that's power

[sebaxoo]

i believe gonzo's forehand is the best, it has more power than any other fh in tennis.

[lystellion]

I could watch Gonzalez hit forehands all day long.

From a safe distance.

[flobok]

what the Fuck....0:42 thats amazing!!!!!

[clubland206]

sinceramente faltan jugadores como estos, MEJORES DERECHAS DEL MUNDO COMO FERNANDO GONZALES - JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO. MEJOR REVES DEL MUNDO COMO DAVID NALBANDIAN, GUSTAVO KUERTEN, GASTON GAUDIO.

vuelvan maestros, el tenis los necesita!!

[hattrickster33]

Any kind of half volley takes skill, but it isn't that hard on the forehand, compared to the backhand, which I think only Federer can really do.

[esi183]

i swear the ball at 1:39 wasn't above the net...hawkeye a bit BS?

[federeriscol]

@esi183 So? It's still legit.

[esi183]

@federeriscol yeah I know it's legit but the replay shows that hawkeye is wrong when it shows the "trajectory" of the ball.... one wonders how accurate it can actually be...to show a ball like 2mm in/out???

[federeriscol]

@esi183 Hawkeye is only 94% accurate on clay (which is why it isn't used), 98% accurate on grass, and over 99% accurate on all other surfaces.

However, at 1:42 in this video, this isn't Hawkeye. It's a thing called HotShot, or HotSpot, I'm not quite sure of the name. It used to exist before Hawkeye came out. Players couldn't challenge or anything, it was just so the commentators could take a look at make a comment. It wasn't very accurate at all btw, thus it was never used to decide a point.

[lystellion]

10,000,000 points for not accompanying this video with some shitty music track.

:D

[almondavid]

1:36 - 1:46 clearly the ball did not go above the net, it went around the post. =.= the eagle eye sucks, or hawk eye or whatever that shitz called -.-

[ihateuutube]

The best forehand and the worst backhand

[kcruidos]

@ihateuutube Dude, you don't know what are you talking about. Since 2007 Gonzalez's bakchand has been improving, and now is a scary shot. The problem, actually, is his return of serve and his mentality, that takes him away from matches sometimes.

[joshuanaconda]

WTF !!

that forehand against federer is the most amazing one I have ever seen

jesus ..... he is a machine

[desvirgalamparas]

solo aceleracion en ese brazo y mano mano grandeeeeeee fernando q linda derecho q nivel

[DonChilenito]

he has a very good forhand probably the best, but he has alot of other weekness,, wich is sad,, becouse imagine if Gonzo would hade the speed of nadal and the back ahnd of federer, he would be almost perfect! ;P

[auman311]

@DonChilenito

Federer's backhand is no way the best.

Probably Gasquet's backhand, Nadal's Speed and Gozalez's forehand.

Though, temper and eligance of Federer.

[DonChilenito]

@auman311, sorry you miss understod me my laptop is a bit wierd so the spelling fails sometimes >.<. ;P. i meant that the forehand is the only wepon Gonzalez has wich is dangerous, but his back hand is sort of his wekness, thats why normaly every player shots at his back hand, but ofcourse its not alweys you will succede, becouse he slice´s the ball wich mean the other guys some times shots it against his forehand. :P

[ulizinho]

@auman311

we should not forget Nalbandian backhand

and Kuerten and Rios had great backhands, too.

[nanananalalala]

@auman311 temper and elegance of federer? LOLLLL. i guess u ''accidently'' forgot some moments huh.

dear god when will the federer dickriding end? gods answer; when nadal has broken the record, then everyone is gonna be on nadals dick. LOL

[DonChilenito]

he has a very good forhand probably the best, but he has alot of other weekness,, wich is sad,, becouse imagine if Gonzo would hade the speed of nadal and the forhand he has.. he would be almost perfect ;P

[lokitkit]

Not sure whether those are the best, but you really don't want to take those!

[MacHoodio]

The shot against Federer at the masters cup is amazing, federer hits an ok forehand and Gonzo hits it back twice as hard

[hatrimaster]

gonzalez no tiene competencia en cuanto a potencia, es un crack

[sperry1458]

NEVER hit to his forehand!

[chickenandbaconclub2]

Maybe he has the best forehand for putting his best forehand clips together in a Youtube video...

[nipal1234]

@chickenandbaconclub2 also in every federer or nadal video you may see the same thing....but i agree his forehand is a matter of timing, sometimes it doesnt work at its best

[BirdComment]

@nipal1234

Every forehand is a matter of timing...

If you hit to early you missed the bal.

[germanch00]

@chickenandbaconclub2 just STFU

[DinkleberryDelight]

@chickenandbaconclub2 Try to return ONE of his forehands. You have been humbled.

[chickenandbaconclub2]

@DinkleberryDelight How so?

[DinkleberryDelight]

@chickenandbaconclub2 Because his forehand would destroy you silly.

[hattrickster33]

lol his forehand is so fast federer has no time for anything

[yousef4741]

best forehand ever

[Javitooz]

[89panxo]

[GtrEvo]
