[nine30301]

QUE HA GANADO LAPENTI ?...POR AHI ALGUN TORNEO DE BARRIO....POBRE DIABLO...MAS LA IMPORTANCIA QUE LE DAN....¡

[xavi123ify]

EL FRACASADO DE NICOLAS LAPENTTI NO PUEDE SER COMPARADO CON EL GRAN ANDRES GOMEZ

[wachofajardo]

de verdad que risa me da cuando dicen que Agassi usaba peluca ese era su pelo de aquella epoca hasta que tuvo calvicie

[danielli10]

Grande Gomez ! Grande Ecuador ! Grande Emelec

[Justinian43]

@danielli10 Grande liga de quito carajo!

[leverwork1]

So I hear he says his hair was going to fall off, what a joke, Sampras and Agassi milked the 90's with a huge lack of talent in the game big time!

[misipunki]

Glorioso Andres Gomezz

[wildcatp7]

0:29 poor Andre he is more worried about his hair....he should have used toppik, but it was invented 10 years later

[Mkey29]

Look at those great nike air tech, great shirt, that style so much better than nowadays, wooow soo 90's ! <3

[elkar11]

andres gomez el mejor tenista ecuatoriano d todos los tiempos!!!!!

[Frank4651]

@elkar11 Francisco Segura fue el unico ecuatoriano en ser numero uno del mundo en 1950 y 1952. Gomez llegó solo al 4 puesto en 1990. Lo que convierte A Segura en el mejor tenista ecuatoriano de todos los tiempos, record dificil de superar

[mex33mont]

@Frank4651 gracias por el dato porque de verdad, eso no lo sabe casi nadie. A propósito, ¿cuantos títulos (y cuales) ganó?

[4519688]

@Frank4651 Eran otros tiempos, pero el verdadero tenis de calidad fué en la época de Andrés Gómez , el mejor tenista del Ecuador de todos los tiempos.

[zooklov]

i watched all the tournament of 1990 french open.

Agassi was tired. At the begining of this game he was totaly over powered.

Gomez played the best tennis i had ever seen. Accuracy along the court lines.

He was better that is it.

No need to try to find excuses to Agassi. The junky lost.

This game is in my mind forever.

[haywood16]

Why didn't Andre just wear a hat?

[Konduffi2]

Gomez played the tournament and the match of his life. Thats all. Agassi lost his drugs may be?

[raul2536]

@Konduffi2 true !!!

[Mauriciol21]

Grande Andrés Gómez... orgullo de mi país...

[VerdascoFan]

LOL!!!!! Great match Gomez....you deserved it. But 1 Q.....why isn't Agassi running and lunging sas is the norm on clay?........On match poit he just stops. I mean i know he didn't want people to know he was wearing a hairpiece because he was losing his hair (the essence of his image) but come on!!!! I would play NAKED in a slam final if i was given the chance...I mean....I could live with myself being bald..but NOT if i didn't give my all and lost in a slam final..c'mon Andre ur my hero but...

[davd1986]

@VerdascoFan I wonder why the ATP covered his meth use back in the mid 90's. While meth isn't a performance enhancer, it certainly isn't legal. Agassi was one of my favorites, but I gotta admit that part rubs me the wrong way.

[pvsrod]

LOL that wig looks like a dead cat on top of his head LOL

[chupapairro]

agassi should have played in a glam metal band.. it looked like it was vince neil playing this match

[MAFERBENITES]

Ecuador <3 Andres gomez

[tennchiv05]

la peluca de agassi jajaja

[CarlosMauricio88]

Eres el orgullo de Ecuador Andrés, nunca olvidaremos ese championship point y lo definiste como los grandes......

[LMBAA]

los ´´pudo haber sido´´, ´´los tal vez´´ o ´´quiza´´ no existen, no es, si no usaba peluca le ganaba, andrés gómez ganó y punto, en la historia se registran a los ganadores no a los que pudieron ganar y no lo hicieron por verguenza a que los vieran calvos.

the ´´maybe´´ or ´´if... it would be´´ don´t exist. the maybe if he had played without the wig¨...´´ doesn´t have sense now. the winners are the ones that are reminded not the ones that didn´t because they were ashamed of they hair lose...

[darwinromerito]

el mejor simplemente lo malo es que no hay reemplasante

[ivanoise]

gracias Andres..!

[fasde18]

ojala que ecuador tenga otro o varios tenistas como andres gomez el surdo de oro.

el unico que ha hecho historia en el tennis,porque lapentti poco o nada ya esta para retirarse.el unico que esta en esa orbita es el quiroz,o elmismo hijo de andres gomez,si hay otro con futuro digamenlo.

saludos.

[astoriarams1]

screw da wig, agassi got outplayed, viva gomez

[astoriarams1]

skrew the wig, gomez outclassed mr agassi, viva gomez

[manco82]

Wig is everything!

[fierced1989]

locos el tal raulito es del pedu, no le hagan caso...

[fierced1989]

Realmente inolvidable.

[juancsalinase]

tas loco final es final por q recien despues de tantos años lo dice es para escusarse si el igual antes con peluca i todo ganaba los slams ..... agassi jugo mal i se vio superado por gomez en un partido magistral ... viva el Ecuador

esto es como el oro de Perez lo mas grande en el deporte Ecuatoriano

[cariboulecter]

simplemente ganó el mejor: Andrés Gómez

[raulelchurro]

Estas perdido, no sabes nada de tennis, ....amigos ecuatorianos no dudo del gran talento de andres gomez pero agassi confeso eso en su biografia para callar a sus detractores quienes decian q le faltaba grandeza para ganar un gran slam en ese momento, pero amigos les recuerdo q en 1988 derrota a andres gomez en stuttgard quien sabe si lo hubiera derrotado en el roland garros, eso no se , pero no quize hablar mal de andres gomez sera bueno pero no como agassi y en este partido no gano el mejor.

[cdgrijalva1]

@raulelchurro ridiculo, andres gomez ese año hiso final en montecarlo, gano barcelona, semifinal en Roma, era lo mejor en arcilla.

[raul2536]

@raulelchurro eres gil creo que ningun peruano a ganado un grand slam jajajaja pendejoooo

[alexandros0112]

raulechurro te equivocas cuando dices q agassi usaba peluca, agassi en esta epoca solo tenia 19 anios, y era su estilo lo mantuvo por anios hasta q se estaba quedando calvo, por lo tanto decidio raparse totalmente, andres gomez estaba jugando fantastico a tal punto q le gano en semifinales a thomas muster q era mas q agassi en esta superficie, yo creo q no sabes nada de tenis.

[haywood16]

agassi didnt want his hair to fall off

[miguelhoyos]

excuses

[diegreal]

GRANDE GOMEZ ORGULLO ECUATORIANO

[MrCentauro83]

Estas loco

[MrCentauro83]

Mira raulechurro, no sabes nada de tennis que te pones a creer tonteras. Andres Gomez fue uno de los gigantes del tennis mundial, #4 en singles y #1 del mundo en dobles. Gomez pertenece a la epoca de jugadores como Lendl, Connors, Clerc y McEnroe.... Biografia de quien? De un amanerado usapeluca como Aggassi?.... Estas perdido amigo!!!

[raulelchurro]

el no perdio pro drogas perdio por su peluca el lo cuenta en su biografia ese andres gomez no hubiera ganado ese esta muy claro.

[methecastaway]

bien bien, felicidades al campeón. Que Agassi no meta excusas cojudas ahora

[InMedioStatVirtus]

agassi was doped

[cdgrijalva1]

@InMedioStatVirtus Agassi is a hard court player, there was some arregements for him to win roland garros

[Dant3x1986]

AGASSI IS GOD

[iancarr77]

agaasi pelado le ganaba en 3 set pero no odia moverse mucho lastima

[TRUEMAN8919]

todos los tenistas usan drogas no se dice para mantener el negocio

[madonna9921]

y no te quedaria mal una peluca ahora que no jugas ponetela que a steffi le va a gustar jaja

[madonna9921]

agasi jajajajajaja que buenas calzas lastima que yo no conseguia de ese color

[raulelchurro]

exactamente cuenta en su biografia q ese dia la peluca no se le pudo ajustar bien porq uso un reacondicionador equivocado por eso es q no podia moverse muxo por eso perdio de lo contrario le ganaba de ley.

[NaturalBornHedonist]

Would be funny if his wig would fall off while serving a match point slamming it over the net with the ball

[NaturalBornHedonist]

This was Agassis premier with his toupet that almost disintegrated before the match!!!

[gerarene]

andres tu has sido uno de los mejores en representar a nuestro pais.Que gran partido ,un domingo por la mañana por telecentro con el relato de paco alvarez[la voz de oro de ecuador]

[diegofcam]

Well in his book he said he was worried, but never puts the blame on his wig. He gives credit to Gomez.

[oldpossum]

Reading Agassi's autobiography "OPEN" and watching the matches he talks about I just thought the very same thing, @diegofcam!

Agassi talks about his "fatally flawed game plan, pathetic really", wanting to tire out the older Gomez, while Gomez. who knew it was his last shot at a slam, opted for an aggressive, shot-making match, the king he could and did win.

YouTube is fantastic -- to see such historic matches again is just incredible!

[wickedmario007]

how can u concentrate in a GS final with wearing a wig??

[iliana1604]

Para qué admitir que uso esteroides?, nos hubiera dejado con la buena imagen que teníamos de él!!! En ese ano del 1999 en el Roland Garros estuvo usando peluca!!!

[dirtycelinefrenchman]

so i take he always wore a wing before he shaved it. since he would have been only like 19-20 here. that sucks. the hair gods can be mean.

[gwyneth00]

I think it is amazingly courageous for Agassi to admit having worn a wig, particularly when so much of his mystique was built around his youthful-looking long hair. How many of you who knock him for being vain would have the strength to admit something like this in front of the entire world? Now, one can debate the merit of trying to hide hair loss thusly. But there is no denying that to admit having done this when so much potential negativity could be heaped upon him shows great strength.

[LeahKat]

If I was a multi-millionaire, had won a few Slams and thought that I could still say anything and keep public sympathy then sure, I'd admit it.

End of the day, unless Andre is confessing to his steroid use, he's not telling us anything of value.

[anabenitezgraham]

Regardless of whether or not his admission is of value, I still believe that it takes courage to admit something such as this in the repressive, judgmental society of the USA.

[virgilsheart]

Just FYI - Recreational drug is totally different from steroids. He did not use steroids...

[zim83]

Gómez deserved that victory, in spite of what Agassi has to say to sell more books.

[nebardo8]

encima era horrible la peluca esa

[baronvg]

i don't know. i'll check out the book when it comes out, which is sometime this month. it might be out already.

[thebruno44]

haha... I feel bad for him... he was just a boy here. He was insecure and worried he's lose that money. The real rebel would have shaved his head and told the endorsers to f themselves. I was psyched when he shaved that Ewok off his head, I figured he'd focused on what really mattered... the game!

[baronvg]

Well, according to the 60 Minutes interview, the wig fell apart the night before the Final, so the wig must have been alright during the rest of the tournament. And he was losing his hair since he was 17, so he was pretty much bald his entire professional career.

[BR177]

hahah this is bizarre

[lelobest]

Watch the wig Andre!

[Xiscanadal]

OMG it's all so HOLLYWOOD!

[guipop78]

oui il portait une moumoute ce jourè-là...

C'est triste quand je pense que je revais d'avoir sa coupe à l'époque...lol

[beaurenom]

il portait une perruque ? Sans blague ???Mais il reste toujours l'un des meilleurs, le Dédé !!!!

[new1389]

Ко би рекао човече да је то перика у питању...

[mmbbz]

lol agassi just admitted he was shitting himself thinking his wig would fall off in this match. why not just wear a cap to keep it in place

[baronvg]

Haha! I was thinking the same thing. I mean, he wore a cap when he won WImbledon, he could have just worn a cap on that day, too. There must have been a reason he didn't. Maybe his endorsers didn't want his hair covered up.

[cdgrijalva1]

@mmbbz bullshit

[JessikahAznBabyy]

@mmbbz cause image is everything

[upinflamezzz]

Agassi said he was wearing a wig in this match. And he lost because he thought the wig was going to fall off.

[mysteriekiller]

And that is nonsense, he didnt lose because of that wig.

[WTFWBOD]

Wrong .. not nonsense. Agassi should have won this match and most likely would have if he was in the moment.

[mysteriekiller]

And of course that had everything to do with his wig. Sure!

[marconow01]

He look cute with or without hair

[shrh18]

he looks better bald then with hair

[JoshDragon18]

Andre's hair was ugly.

[shebyfrmbham]

hair today gone tomorrow

[lamaren]

buena peluca andrelo

[rmrooster01]

hes saying the wig cost him the match. Look at match point. Agassi's standing inside the baseline! That cost him the match! He was going to lose anyways. That was Gomez moment. He was the better man that day.

[marcol68]

00:31 how in hell nobody noticed "the big hair". Watching the video now is impossible not to se he was wearing the greatest wig in the ATP-tournament ever!! maybe it's because the years 1986-1992 was the time of bad taste! :)

Rica la peluca!!!

[hansugo]

si no hubiera tenido un gato sobre la cabeza hubiera ganado agassi

[pman630]

el hubiera no existe

[Patroclo007]

Esa peluca buena y esos tiros de crystal antes del partido, eh Andre, jajajaja

[manuelestruncias]

peluca!! agassi  ha dicho en su autobiografia k llevo peluca ne este partido

[kegsterino12]

he was such a mess of self-absorbed crap at this point in his life. legend once he met gilbert and turned around.

[hocobo]

Dude, why the hell would you opt to wear that thing on top of your head at the French Open? This is why you don't allow yourself to be controlled by vanity. It cost him the match.

[ofek15]

nice hair Agassi XD

[efvb85]

muy bien Andrés Gómez dejó bien alto al nombre de Ecuador.

[frialler]

Never wear a wig kids, it will cost you the french open...

Thumbs up for Agassi to say that!

[REGGIERB525]

He's saying this wig cost him the match

[gg4jesus]

Now that his book has been released, how could we have missed that this was a wig? Andre, thank you for staying in our Paris hotel. How would you like.....to-pay?

[ontime34]

He would have been better off buying a ch ch ch chia pet

[ontime34]

nice hair :)

[NaturalBornHedonist]

LOL I wanted to comment the same : Toupet or not toupet... Def. Toupet !!!

He conned us all didn't he !?

[hoffoslaw]

toupet

[mosspower]

wigassi

[chillm0de]

fake hair :D

[MrLeia75]

Gomez was top 10 at the time and beat Thomas Muster in the semis

Head to head against Agassi was 2-2.

[gg4jesus]

Head-to-head, or hair-to hair?

[MisterCrazyLegs]

most people thought Agassi had this match in the bag. And I always thought that no matter the length of the match, Gomez was going to be the winner. He was a man on a mission and he knew that it was probably his best and only chance to win this tournament. His generation was being moved to the side by the Agassis..the Samprases and the Couriers. So, this had to be extremely gratifying for him after trying to get past Lendl for so many years there.

[macgregor1006]

lo veo y pienso me remoto hace años atras ????

guaoooo que orgullo grande andres

y nostalgia al mismo tiempo

ojala nunca se olvide esto en ecuador eso lo tendre como un bello recuerdo hasta el resto de mis dias

[miltonhla]

Grande Andres Gomez.... Ganar Roland Garros!!! Ganar un Grand Slam!!! lo mas grande para un tenista... Orgulloso de ser ecuatoriano...

[nestorz333]

Grande Andres ! un ejemplo de superación , constancia y esfuerzo . Lo mas grande del tenis ecuatoriano !

[tripa21]

que grande andres

[pablotjob]

andres gomez debe haber sido el mas grande tenista ecuatoriano de todos los tiempos; 'pancho' segura , radicado en EEUU pero de procedencia ecuatoriana, tambien lo fue aunque el jugo durante la era amateur , en los años 40 y 50.....

[MrChrispool]

wow wow!!!!!!!!! it was a fantastic moment for all the ecuador:::::::::: gomes you're the best............. en serio me siento tan orgulloso de ser ecuatoriano!!!!!!!11

[drgreendick]

Que recuerdos, papa saltando por toda la casa y cuando cumpli 9 porfesor de tennis.

[cohati]

Grande Andrés Gómez , de los poquísimos latinoamericanos que ha ganado un Gran Slam. En un deporte donde ahora se privilegiala parte comerical y los premios. Se agradece por el video. Felcitaciones...!!

[renejado]

Buenísimo si alguien lograra colocar todo el partido. Sentía una enorme curiosidad por saber quien era ese Andrés Gomez que pasó a la prestigiosa lista de campeones en el Abierto de Francia.

[Christianeni]

Q grande ver ese video a un ecuatoriano ganar el roland garros cuando volveremos a ver lo mismo o a un ecuatoriano ganar un grand slam ojala pronto!!!!

[Ariamaluum]

This was the Len Barker version of the perfect match.

[champion074]

Viva Guayaquil independiente carajo.

[mickquick01]

biggest shame in Agassi's career????

[B3toRamirez]

Q cosas no? Ni cuando ganamos podemos estar en paz entre nosotros.. q pequeñez de espiritu. Goméz logro lo mejor que el tenis ecuatoriano ha logrado jamás en la era abierta.

[dariobsc]

ecuador es todo sierra costa oriente y galapagos, NO AL REGIONALISMO!!!! EL VIDEO PANA ESTA GENIAL GRANDE GOMEZ!!

[dariobsc]

para todos esoso echos los separatistas independientes

[2202paulina]

Que ignorante todo aquel que ose siquiera menospreciar en algo el triunfo del mejor tenista que ha tenido el Ecuador. Solo aquellos que hemos seguido la carrera de este grande del tennis sabemos que ese triunfo era mas que merecido!!!

[superyamil]

increible victoria....lo mejor de esa decada, Gomez es un ejemplo para cualquier deportista... grande!!

[renejado]

Y díganle al bobo de Guayaquil que a lo mejor se mete a subir comentario uno de la zona residencial de Andres Gómez y dice "abajo Guayaquil, arriba la zona donde vive Andres Gómez"... así lo van reduciendo hasta que el triunfo solo lo pueda mencionar su familia, jeje!

[ernestgye]

Para los que no saben mucho de tennis, este logro de Andrés Gomez está casi que a la par de las medallas de Jefferson Perez, no cualquiera gana Roland Garros, ni el mismisimo Roger Federer aun lo ha logrado, es un orgullo inmenso para TODOS LOS ECUATORIANOS!!!

[renejado]

Sí vale no todos se pueden jactar de haberle ganado a Agassi y menos en una final de Grand Slam. Bien por Gomez y por el pueblo de Ecuador que imagino esa noche no pudo dormir celebrando.

[janllotube]

Federer lo acaba de lograr... acaba de igualar a Andrés Gómez...

[ernestgye]

Si, y me alegro muchisimo, el es un deportista fenomenal

[jhoncornejo]

[TICETOCAR]

ah I remember this.. it't the year when Lendl didn't play the tournament.. previous editions Gomes got knocked out of the tournament because of Lendl. Nice for Gomes!

[teenspirit1009]

Andres Gomez Santos the second greatest tennis player of Ecuador, First one is Pancho Segura member of the tennis Hall of Fame.

[seelowcell]

Nice stuff. This is rare footage of old tennis archives. Never been able to see Agassi lose the French Open final before. I think he lost twice before winning in 1999.

[jkygogo]

How depressing when someone calls this "old Tennis Archives". But got to live my own life.

Peace.

:)

[seelowcell]

If this isn't old, then I don't know whats new :)
