@casketofdog Never a singles grand slam, he made the quarters of the Aussie open in 2006 and that is the furthest he has ever got. He did win 2 times in doubles at the Australian open with Michael Llodra, in 2004 and 2003, and I think he also made the doubles finals in Wimbledon and Roland Garros.
Santoro what an inteligent player!!He doesn't play aggresivelly but WISE!!He never was No1 but he's beaten every No1 he played at least once!Trully "the magician"(Sampras called him that way)!!!!!!
@Oreoclan yeh, but b/c santoro more of a spinster, he wouldn't really have much of a chance anyway. Nadal would still overpower him, with his own spin. you could say Nadal's game really works well against his. And he doesn't have the same problem as Safin, whom Santoro had stated was suppose to beat him all the time.
american commentators are the absolute worst.....they pronounce 75% of the player's names wrong and they always talk about how an american is "rising in the rankings" even when there are no americans left in the tournament....leif shiras is probably the worst---getting that call wrong at the end of blake-federer us open 2006..."blake has won it!....FEDERER, wins it." and constantly just saying "doh yes" after a winner...
John Mcenroe and Ted Robinson are the only good american commentators
@rockerduff1231 i agree john and ted are good along with Cliff -but the worst commentator (who can make you fly acroos the world and choke the life outta her) is Mary Carillo that bitch can make up some stupid shit and will talk in the middle of a point about shit that has nothin to do with the match going on-they should have never gave her a microphone
@rockerduff1231 I personally hate any commentator other than John McEnroe and Ted Robinson... Granted, he talks too much about rackets and strings, but their conversations are much better than everyone else's. Courier and Becker are pretty good too actually... And I'm talking commentators around the world if you're wondering... Agassi was pretty good too. He could use a little more enthusiasm when he talks though... So soft spoken... Even more so than Sampras. Except when he plays exhibitions!
The real winner is Santoro's shirt.

@JiraiyaSama86 To be fair... Nadal is a physical beast who still hasn't hit his physical peak... And Santoro is in his 30s...
