#RolandGarros - Sport
The heart Muster showed coming back from having his knee destroyed was remarkable. Guga made the game as flashy as anyone to ever live! So much flare and beauty! great match!
There aren't enough Guga matches on the internet! He played with heart
Guga was loved by so many people. It is too bad injuries caught up with him just as he was reaching his best. Miss you Guga !
Wow, this is literally the match that launched Kerten's career. Pride of Brazil - Orgulho catarinense. Orgulho do Brasil #gugaKuerten
Sempre !!
Muster was an absolute beast, the 90s version of Rafa, to win against him on clay, you had to beat him twice, physically and mentally, simultaneously one of the nicest and funniest guys on the champions tour .
Really nice to watch these matches without commentary, its like being at the stadium.
Agree 100%!
Agree 🔝❤
Agree!! No stupid Andrew Castle talking absolute drivel.
Even while riddled with injuries Guga became one of the greatest clay court players of all time! Beat Fed in straights coming off injury the first year Fed won 3/4 slams!
Every once in a while I watch this match
Thomas Muster was one of my favourites back then. He was one of the pros I modeled my strokes & aggression on. Thanks for this vid!
Kuerten's drop shot a work of art.
He probably caught more than a few opponents by surprise with what he could do with his racquet being one of the earliest players to use poly string. He might even have been the first on tour to use it. If your arm can handle it, poly imparts a great deal more spin, certainly more than the players in 1997 were used to who were still using natural gut, nylon, or kevlar.
More Kuerten matches, please!
More #gugaKuerten
One of my favorite player
Em 2022 olhando essa a partida e me emocionando,tinha 17 anos ,como o Guga me fez feliz.
Acho que todo brasileiro se emociona com o
Nosso Guga!
Que virada incrível no 5 set . Guga era gênio , o que ele fez com a esquerda no 5 set é coisa pra ser estudada ... ídolo , gigante !!!!!!!
3:08:38 Kuerten pointed to his older brother, because during the match Guga had gave up the game mentally and his older brother gave him support with shouts...
I still miss the Kuerten-Safin rivalry ! They had some great matches on clay even though Safin didn't do great at RG (one semi ?).
I love Guga so much, such a great and humble guy, very tremendous player back then. Grande orgullo latinoamericano, keep posting so More of him please!!
Wow, this video is great quality! Kuerten is one of my favorites, you always knew what he was thinking.
I was there, on that particular day !
Sadly I had only Chatrier ticket, this one was on the Langlen, we were hearing crowd reactions from afar, superb day of tennis, with some big upsets.
Cool! This match was played on the old bullring court, not Lenglen.
@@tkramer62283 You're right, my bad.
It was indeed the old and so lovely former court #1.
Wow, you were so lucky to be there in those days.
amazing clay-court match given the number of winners they produced
Bravo RG. Thank you for the full match.
Sempre um "menino" feliz e orgulho dos brasileiros. 👏👏👏
Two top clay court specialists. Bliss.
thomas was my favourite player ever supercool an had so much determination especially after having his leg smashed by drunk driver still use my kneissl toms reach machine racket gugas backhand was a thing of beauty though
Thomas really strong
Kuerten had a lot of game, and I dont mean just as a clay courter. Huge forehand and a really solid backhand. His first serve was very good as well.
He did win year end finals one year, but im surprised he didnt break through at the Aussie or US Open a lil more.
Im not sure his achievement in winning a challenger and grand slam in consecutive events will happen anytime soon. Thats pretty incredible to make a leap like that, and dude had a really tough draw in this tourney. Really impressive.
Guga et son merveilleux revers de gauche... Grand champion!
Guga Kuerten é uma lenda do Brasil
Oh, that backhand....
Great match! Please post more Kuerten matches!!!

Je confirme ! S'il vous plaît et qui plus est sur cette édition ;)
What are they waiting for!?
Grande Guga! que saudade dessa época!
Orgulho catarinense!!! Orgulho do Brasil #gugaKuerten
Thank you for uploading this legendary match in such a high quality. It was a very hard fight between two French Open Champions. But I dont like to see how Muster looses this match:-).
I feel the same way. After beginning 1997 on fire on hard courts culminating in the Miami title, Muster seemed to lose a little motivation and then his confidence wavered during the spring clay season. According to Muster, his new longer racquet had been good for hard courts, but not for clay. Still, with the right draw, it felt like he could make a run at Roland Garros. Muster outplayed Kuerten for stretches in this match, but you got the sense that Kuerten had a different level of firepower than Muster was accustomed to facing during his dominant clay campaigns of the previous two years. Had Muster closed out the 3-0 lead in the fifth set to get past Kuerten, I think there's a real shot that he could've reached the semis or finals.
Thanks for this video!!! :)
Gustavo Kuerten - meu labrador preferido ;-)) #gugaKuerten
Thanks a ton 🇧🇷
Muito bom ver dois maravilhosos tenistas jogar , 06/03/2024 🇯🇵
Eu choro copiosamente todas as vezes que eu assisto ao 5o set desse jogo e o já o fiz mais de 10 vezes.
kuerten 66eme mondial qui gagne roland garros un bresilien! c mythique! une vraie surprise et puis pas d serviette entre les points c le vrai probleme aujourd hui ca jouait vite la c tellement ralenti c 30minutes de plus dans un match!
Hi Roland Garros merci for the upload, could you please add the full match between Kuerten e Medvedev from this tournament? It was a very hard fought match won by Guga in the 5th set, thank you Roland Garros
Balneário Camboriú e região ainda na torcida por #gugaKuerten e Larri Passos
I would pay big money for one of those Diadora Shirts that Kuerten wore back in the late 90's. Tennis clothes today are boring.
it s collector now. leave your email on my youtube channel maybe you will have a last..
Thomas Muster - a force of nature.
The revelação !
Great to watch 2 players playing single handed and still getting the power shots unlike todays bunch who have to use 2 hands like a base ball bat.
lol courier in the 90 used to play backhand really like a baseball bat lol. forehand too!
kafelnikov vs kuerten 2000!!! please
It’s a shame o Roland Garros put many matches but none of the trilogy kuerten vs Kafelnikov
Nesse jogo que a história começou
Take note...Guga attacks net on a fairly regular basis with tremendous success......Love seeing that
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 nascia a lenda
É bem isso!
Exatamente.
feel so bad for Kevin Costner....
Guga era fera muito bom
Graaaaaaaande #gugaKuerten
Sensacional
VAI BRASILLLLLLL quem é brasileiro da um salve
please upload Muster-Costa, RG '95 too
Yeah that was an amazing match
a quoi ca tient la legende serieux? kuerten gagne en 5 sets hyper serrés contre une legende d terre battue tt le monde l a oublié ... suis persuadé que sur le central d roland cette annee la muster aurait gagné ms bravo a lui
Pas certain car Muster cette année-là était moins fort sur terre.
Roland Garros still own us one of the greatest matches on women side - French Open Final 1985. How can y'all just skip Chris Evert with no posting any her matches on that pages
Two clay monsters face to face, but I know the outcome... ;).
me too...Rafa wins ;)
Kuerten , l'un des meilleur revers à une main sur terre battue
I'd love to know what the odds were of Guga winning that French Open - he was absolutely nowhere whatsoever on the radar. He also had to beat the champions of 96, 95 94 and 93 in the form of Kafelnikov, Muster and Burguera.
The true winner of this match was the legendary Head Pro Tour 630 (aka PT57A)
... especially with Luxilon strings!
Another tough loss for Muster on Court 1, he didn't like playing the bullfight arena.
5:08 gunshot forehand
Uma pena o Guga ter abrandado sua carreira por conta de contusões.
E verdade se não fosse as lesões teria ido muito mais longe
Grande Guga! Pena que no auge não jogou contra o Nadal!
Clay court tennis at it's best
E DALEEEE GUGA !!!!!
O garoto era bão né?!

Vous auriez le dernier match de Muster à Roland Garros ? (contre Schalken en 1999)
Muster's last match at Roland Garros came against Lapentti. Muster lost to Schalken in the first round of the 1999 Australian Open.
Interesting match up. Muster Vs Guga. If Muster came through, what chances he had for 2nd French open?
Not many, that claycourt season was a disaster for Muster (specially for his standarts). he was losing lot of early rounds, that year he was playing with a longer racket wich helped him big time upping up his hardcourt game (he made Semis of the Aussie Open, won Dubai, Key Biscaine and made the semis of Indian Wells in the first quarter of that year). but was terrible for his claycourt game as he wasn´t able to spin the ball the way he wanted to. So, as flashy and pivotal as this match was, this was the conclusion of a nightmare claycourt season for Muster.
@@jorgeguisa7920 You're absolutely correct in that Muster struggled mightily on clay after the outstanding start to 1997 on hard courts. He blamed the longer racquet, but I think he may have been a little fatigued after winning more than normal early in the year. He was actually using his 1996 Kneissl painted to look like the extra long here. His motivation also might have dipped a bit after achieving so much to silence his critics on hard courts. Despite all of that, I think Muster could have realistically made a very deep run had he managed to close out the fifth set against Kuerten. The draw was favorable in terms of opponents that Muster typically handled -- Medvedev, Kafelnikov, Bruguera. Obviously we'll never know what might've been. Muster's luck in terms of early round draws at Roland Garros was really poor.
@@tkramer62283 Interesting, wining key Biscayne must have been also emotionally draining, maybe deep inside, on the unconscious realm, he felt he had completed his career arc. Wining that match against Kuerten could had given him extra confidence and match hours for the next rounds altough he was losing against guys who he was beating with one hand before, but RG is RG. I remember, the next year, ´98, he had a "decent" claycourt season and even reached the Quarterfinals of RG where he lost against Mantilla whom he had beaten in one of the previous clay tournaments, i think he had a bad shoulder during that match. Anways, by then, he was again getting to the Quarters, Semis or even finals of some tournaments but was allways stoped, sometimes pretty badly, by then the game had sort of catch up with him and the modern claycourters of the time where not as intimidated from him as before and also had more weapons to overpower him. As you can see i was a HUGE fan of him LOL i was very inspired by his energetic game and also by his heroics with his recovery from the accident.
@@jorgeguisa7920 It's a pleasure to speak with such a knowledgeable Muster fan. I also loved Muster's story -- the accident recovery and his tremendous fitness regimen. I loved the baseline topspin groundstrokes and grunting/hustling style. Something definitely changed in his mental outlook after he won Key Biscayne in 1997. The racquet switches could've impacted his confidence, but it seemed like he let up a little bit as well. As you said, he may have unconsciously felt he had achieved everything he wanted to. Maybe he didn't care as much about all of the European clay court events, but surely he wanted to do well at the French Open, and I really wonder had he gotten past Kuerten, how that could've changed his fortunes. I got to see Muster play that August in Cincinnati, where he suddenly found his early season hard court form and made a run to the finals. He was really emotive and engaging with the crowd during the entire tournament. It was a totally different Muster than what people were used to. People started talking him up as a possible US Open contender, but he drew barely unseeded, 20th ranked Henman in the first round and lost. Muster didn't seem all that bothered. He even playfully chased Henman off the court haha. Muster's 1998 seemed to be all about making one last push for the French Open. As you said, he had a decent clay season, reaching the final in Estoril, quarters in Hamburg with a win over Kafelnikov and 3rd round of Rome with a win over Mantilla. He looked really good in the early rounds in Paris before getting through a five set battle with Meligeni in the fourth round. I've never seen much video from the Mantilla QF match, but I seem to remember it being windy, tough conditions. Interesting, I didn't know about Muster having a shoulder issue. Getting to the quarters was a good result for him at that point. He probably wasn't going to beat Mantilla, Moya and Corretja in a row to win the tournament. The rest of Muster's 1998 was uneventful. Like you said, he would play well for a match or two, but he could not string together four or five really good performances in a row. The tour was changing a bit. Guys like Moya, Rios and Kuerten had raised the level. Safin and Haas had arrived and would soon be top players. I've always said that I don't think it's a coincidence that Muster and Chang started fading at about the same time. Even Courier, who was considered quite powerful in the early '90s, found it extremely tough to win matches in the late '90s. The game was passing them by. Muster's intimidation factor was surely gone by then, and it wasn't possible to outgrind or outlast the better players who were 5-10 years younger. Muster played a really good tournament in Sydney to begin 1999, beating Bjorkman, Moya and Stoltenberg, but he got crushed by Todd Martin in the semis. Muster only won two more matches before quietly disappearing from the tour following his first round loss at the French Open. What were you thinking when his name suddenly stopped appearing in tournament draws?
guga
What the hell ! Come on, Rolland Garros ! Where's the game score ? I see 5-5 for the match but is it 15-40, 30-40, deuce, ad-out or ad-in ? The French are rather minimalist, no ? Maybe they don't have enough of a budget ? Still, great video quality for a 23-year old match. Former champion passes the baton to the young whipper-snapper.
When this match was played, i was just 20 years old....
1:42:02 Solitary sneeze
Kuerten was using Luxilon and I think Muster wasn't. lololo
Eu queria ver o marcador, para saber com quem o Gugu esta jogando 🇯🇵
The surfist kuerten
Yeahhhh vai brazil
Swag
Muster was playing great in 97, tough loss. Still cooler than Guga.
Muster started '97 on fire on hard courts, reaching the semis in Australia, winning Dubai, semis in Indian Wells and winning Key Biscayne. Oddly though, he seemed to lose a little motivation and confidence during the clay season. Part of the issue was that his new longer racquet, which had worked so well for him on hard courts, didn't feel as comfortable on clay. Despite not coming into Roland Garros on a high, Muster got through his first two rounds and was still regarded as a serious threat to win the tournament. But nobody knew that a lanky guy from Brazil sporting blue and yellow was about to usher in a new era of clay court tennis. Muster played quite well in this match. He should've won the first set more easily, and he led 3-0 in the fifth. If Muster gets through this one, he would've been a decent bet against Medvedev and Kafelnikov, two opponents he typically handled.
I am brasilian and I am a children
it's so unfortunate that Guga got a tattoo later on ... that ruined it for me
Wow, what a crime
1:20:50 WHat the hell was that!?
Muster had a lot of dirty tricks
EXACTLY! On the line!
No puedo ver a Agassi.
Reconocio droga cuando prescribio.
Tenian que retirarle sus titulos.
Una verguenza.
la droga fue mas perjudicial para el,cuando uso la droga tuvo la peor epoca de su carrera,entre 1996 y 1998 agassi no gano ningun gs y salio del top 100
Yo creo que fue perjudicial cuando gano slams tambien porque cuando haces trampa tu conciencia te dice......eres un ladron.
Si no preguntale a Bruguera que la medalla de oro era de el.
O a Moya en semi y Medveded e final Juan levantandole dos sets en contra.
Un tramposo!.
@@shelashela6400 no jodas cuando ganó no estaba con doping, deja de juzgar la la gente no eres nadie para hacerlo
Y como lo sabes tu.
Tuvo la malicia de decirlo cuando prescribio.
De honrao nada.
Pobre diablo, no sabe que todos los profesionales tienen ayuda cientifica para competir, aun mas ahora que extienden sus carreras
Si no te gustan las drogas, mira deporte amateur, el tenis es un desafio MENTAL
pour moi c un grand manque de respect d avoir fait jouer muster sur le numero 1 ... t imagines faire ca a nadal djoko federer ca serait un scandale il a gagné roland garros en 95 c etaitl equivalent d nadal c etait un monstre sur terre battue il avait tt gagné
Pas vraiment comparable. Muster était un super joueur de terre et 5e mondial mais pas au niveau des 3 que tu cites. Cette saison-là il est moins en forme sur terre, et le même jour, cela peut s'expliquer aussi car Kuerten inconnu et 66e mondial, et car il y a la présence des Francais pendant ce temps... Roux et Escudé qui perdent, et Sampras aussi. Et Pioline perd le même jour contre Kafel. Aussi je dirais que Kuerten, personne ne l'avait vu venir et c'était un kif énorme que de le voir gagner et enchaîner de la sorte et Terminator Muster n'avait pas un jeu hyper séduisant (plutôt un style de bourrin en fond de court) pour ceux qui louaient/louent l'élégance à RG, tout aussi fort fut-il.
Guga is the big player but Nadal is much better on clay ever. Probably in many years
Needs English commentary!
Typical Anglo-Saxon comment.
No
Guga>Rafa
Biiiiiiig #gugaKuerten
