Fabrice Santoro Unbelivable! Best Shot!

[electrotech3000]

He got the name from Pete Sampras.

Much respect.

[Mycommentsgethumbsup]

makes it look easy

[TheMangoBananaMan]

Tennis dead patch

[kable1808]

Oh i could do that. Easy. Just not without hitting my balls. Well, only when I lob it like that. But he earned my respect

[cdn19940804]

Nice point! I was also impressed by that dropshot.

[Kevinimages]

Ha, the linesman looking & laughing 1:04

[8670Ronnie]

Fuckin fed up of seeing that ATP play of the Week intro

[Jezzeboy1928]

Santoro looks like such a nice man :)

[DustOnTheRoad]

Tricky lil' bastard

[gorandavidovv]

respect !

[ubicomp]

The most talented in the world? Let's not overstate things. He's talented, yes.

[bengtmartin]

Santoro was said to be able to anticipate his opponent´s shot before the opponent knew it himself – yet Santoro was unable to win his matches...

[cain2335]

i used to think Federer's between the legs shots were cool...but this shot is just fucking insane. seriously? a between the legs LOB?

[castreed]

he looks like viggo mortensen

[federicou324]

santoro is good but i dont like he cant hit a freaking topspin forehand

[davd1986]

I thought at first that the person at 0:47 was Yury Sharapov, lol. He would probably be the last person one expects to see at that particular match!

[longnhardstuff]

That's not worth Play of the Week, it's worth Best Play for the next 50 Years.

[footykid121]

ive played at those courts before

[ToxicConQueso]

Santoro is a sneaky little magician

[ChristianPaul75]

I already miss Santoro as a player. He was from a generation of Tennis players that actually played the ball - instead of killing it.

[johnnygkl]

its too high!Roger make it for the best in us open 2009!

[Bartez2vu]

the most talented player in the world? hehe Fabrice does have great hands, but thats too much honor for him... great shot though

[retox]

Fed's overhead off Roddick's smash in the Davidoff indoor used to be the best shot of all time, but it now goes to Santoro.

[dan72155]

he is good and that was a awesome shot. But he defiantly isn't the most talented of all time.

[tiesthijsthejs]

"federer did it"

[stalagmite]

what? a lob between the legs?

[tiesthijsthejs]

it's a reference to the southpark episode about the simpsons; "simpsons did it". And yes, federer did it.

[PavleDaDogg]

he didn't lob, he hit a passing shot through the legs against djokovic, this was way harder

[tiesthijsthejs]

maybe you're right, and I can't find the evidence anymore...but still I have a suspicion that he did do it

[charguifutbol]

surely federer could do a lob between the legs, standing on one hand, too..

[tennisproderek]

did he retire cuz hes too old?

[lawrencetimmons94]

@tennisproderek Yeah. Sadly.

[yooo711]

@tennisproderek no he didnt

[yooo711]

@tennisproderek oh wait he did, im going to my room to cry

[Zozim57]

Haha, even the line judge at 0:41 liked it.

[jmk8646]

give this comment a thumbs up if uve attempted this shot before and succeeded. i have. great shot though

[Papercop]

Thank you Fabrice! You rocked!

[Ericandroy]

Farewell Fabrice!

[estamoslocosoq]

one of the bests shots ive ever seen!

[AskWhyNow2day]

This guy is like (the late) Andrzej Grubba in the sport of Table Tennis.

Watching Grubba was a great pleasure as well.

[jeffbeck70]

His "problem" was his will to "play" was far more important than his will to "win" . But that made him an unbelievable player and gave us pleasure.

[xeagle91]

The Magician

[champ1193]

no i don't thinks so

[fire1202]

Fabrice Santoro may not be the best singles player around, but he is well respected by both his peers and always has new fans often dazzling them with his trick shots. Hey, Pete Sampras doesn't call him "The Magician" for nothing.

[tennischamp190]

he'll be missed

[LesYeuxDeDarius]

what an UNBELIEVABLE shot ! xD

[Pectiniculus]

Watching Santoro's playing is so special you could say you're more than just an spectator. A whole experience.
