Best match during Hewitt's reign. I've watched this match more times than any other match. It was like Agassi playing a mirror of himself
This match up is kinda like Djoko vs Murray, both have such a similar style and play in such high level. It doesn't get much better than this.
20 years ago - one of the best finals you may have never seen 👀
I was born 10 years after this match
@@chocosquirrel3319 2012???
@@Mrfix-iz4di yes
I miss this players 😩
@@laureanovaldez.NoleGoat24 they are waste. Medvadev is enough for them
These guys had such amazing backhand striking 20 years ago!
exactly my thought!
lol what is this comment supposed to mean? You think people couldn't hit backhands before big 4?
@@Vipa567 yeah, or that these racket wherent good enough to hit good backhands? lol
@@Vipa567 yes
@@MgoUmk Roddick had also modern racket.But his backhand was not great
Andre hits so clean
@@jaymieparamu9320 his forehand was not clean
@@jaymieparamu9320 but why he almost never made forehand winners.He played his forehand very flat, almost never drop racket head
@@jaymieparamu9320 yes.he had bast baseline till 2000.an 2000 Safin,Hewitt become strong.
Also is Agassi a prototyp for Djokovic,Murray,Hewitt,Safin,Cilic,Zverev style.This is nowadays a most commond style.Modern players have just a better forehand with more spin.
I personally thinkthat Andre was egual to Sampras,an would win like 12 GS ,if he would not skip AO til 95
Damn, first time i see this match but you can tell those two players knew how to hit a super consistent backhand ! Nowadays, players have great backhands but no way they can hit super intense rally 10 backhands in a row without error ! Agassi was a genius!
OMG the backhands in this match is insanely accurate😵💫and i see djoko has a similar play style of andre
Novak's pusher backhands don't even come close.
I really miss this stop on the ATP tour. They need to bring it back.
Great match. Would love to see an Agassi special in this tournament. 3 finals won and 3 lost...many great points!
This is great hitting and a wonderful upload - thank you tennis TV. Please also update similar atp matches between Sampras and Agassi in the 90s - they had a few amazing battles in San Jose.
This match was ahead of its time... Lot of flat baseline rallies similar to current day matches...
Yes, but today the game is faster.
Todays baseline hittings are not flat, they're either top spinning or slicing the ball
Back then the courts where a lot faster... the game now is slower
Agreed, it's amazing how matches like this influenced the sport up to now. Although things like courts slowing down or the increasing prevalence of deep topspin groundstrokes, the gamestyles are very similar
@@HenriqueAlves-bt9ns the game is faster than ever now.
great and unexpected highlights, thank you very much! and what a match!
I enjoyed this so much, awesome match and great highlights so you really kept the flow of the match. Shows the younger fans why these guys still have the respect of the modern players. This really cheered me up, thanks! :-)
Pure heart from Hewitt in that tie-break..... still impressed!
I'm still sad that Agassi lost the match after having so many chances 😭
both of my favorite players growing up, I remember i watched James Blake and agassi match at the same tournament
Simplemente un PARTIDAZO! digno de una final, entre estos 2 Jugadorazos 👌😉
Why don't you give us more matches in the Classic section??
Hewitt was amazing in his early days
Two similar style players mirroring each other anc duking it out. One of the best non grand slam matches ever
That’s because Agassi was Hewitt’s tennis hero.
3:13 don't shit with Andre's back end 😎
Holy smokes that was some good ball hitting
Agassi backhand is unique
Hewitt = tough as nails.
I wouldn't exactly say players today hit flat. On the contrary, they're putting so much spin and weight on the shots that it seems unreal.
Back then in the 90's and early 2000's they'd hit flat and fast, most of the players. It was dominated by "touch" and "feel" players rather than big hitters, as it is today. Players like marcelo rios, agassi and sampras ruled the game.
Talent, style and precision stood out above massive power.
Now most of the players hit hard and big, no matter what racquet size they're using.
Uh, the old days...
за последние пару лет я таких игр не видел, супер борьба
YO THEY PLAYED IN THE CITY WHERE I live wow
Wish I was born earlier to see them….(
Fantástico juego de fondo, me sorprende que no ataquen la red; la pista no era tan lenta.
Tennis was very different in those days. There was no social media to the same extent of today - and the internet was quite primitive. These guys just focused on tennis and had much more mental application compared to many players today. It's true that Andre didn't have the same passion for tennis as many did in his early days and we all know that he is notably more talented than Hewitt (and, I'm an aussie) but Lleyton had that incredible mental toughness. He knew how to win ugly, like Brad Gilbert spoke of. However, this was not an ugly win but one with real skill. Lleyton hit the ball differently in his early days (more topspin) but had to change his game to a flatter style of hitting after his major foot and hip issues. Lleyton wasn't a great talent but he was a great fighter, a bit like a Jimmy Connors.
Once upon a time hard courts were actually fast. Nowadays it is sometimes a snail show( Indian wells)
Unbelievable
The very first point of this video makes you understand how a LONG and disputed match we're about to watch hahahaha
Higlights?
19:03 Clijsters!
Agassi cleanest ball striker to this day
True, and Hewitt with the most guts!!
Потрясающий матч, столько борьбы, столько невероятных ударов и это в финале обычного 500ка!Хьюитт конечно настоящий гладиатор, по игре Агасси смотрелся лучше, но скорость Ллейтона, который находился на пиковых своих кондициях в совокупности с бойцовским характером не позволили Андре взять вверх!
whoever says they played tennis slow back then..... watch this and say it again with a straight face.
Right...and they did not make those ridiculous first clenches after every point, either!
@@davidletz9123 when you see someone fist clench.... just shows how lonely and small they feel.
It's fascinating, as the American commentators are constantly saying 'no call' when Hewitt's balls that are close to the line are not called out but never say that about Agassi's balls that are close to the line. This kind of bias commentary happens in all countries, though. As an Aussie, I have to say, it happens a lot in my country. We are just as biased. ✌
Agassi deserve it more
Yeah he deserved to lose it more. Didn’t he?
It's clear how much racquet technology has improved over the years, they're hitting with all their might with huge explosion and arm movement but the ball just doesn't go fast at all
Lol. No.
strings more than the frames
@@TheKakarot_itachi If you don't think that now go watch a game from the new gen on a fast court like this, its waaaay faster... No wonder this 3 setter took 3 hours, they just can't create pressure with such low ball speed so they just keep trading backhands forever
Hewitt always had a huge swing to power ratio. His arm movement made the shot look like it took more effort than it really did.
@@recolinotyu I just watched Medvedev play Djokovic at the US Open and it's almost exactly the same speed. It's because Hewitt was a great retriever it gives the impression the "balls are slow".
i dont know why hewitt spent the rest of his career ignoring the bh down the line.
What was hewitt ranking back then?
@Najat Chakori impressive
He was number 1.
5"3 ft
Kim Clijsters there...such a lovely couple then
What bad luck Agassi not to win one of the tie breaks, it is always a lottery like penalties in soccer
Doesn't 5 pairs of socks weight you down?
This was the last time you had two players under 6 feet at the top of the game.
pet sampras et point final
It's good to see two weak-era guys going toe to toe.
Back to when tennis was played by men, and not those who now speculate with bathroom breaks and medical timeouts. Here you just wiped with the towel and kept on playing.
Kim was wanting a good night of love
This pace is so slow compared to today's average baseline players.
This was that awkward time period where Sampras was about to retire and Federer had yet to awaken. That's how Hewitt managed to win 2 slams.
Are you suggesting this is poor quality tennis?
What hewitt did though was super impressive as he did it so young.
This new generation of Hewitt, Safin, Federer, Roddick etc etc are the ones that made Sampras believe he can't win anything anymore lol and he was 29 when he won his last slam 😅. Assuming this is a low quality era is like saying Sampras era is much weaker. The only thing Nadal/Djokovic generations added to the game is extreme athleticism/physicality. In terms of raw tennis skills like ball striking, footwork and service, we can argue the older generation does it better like what Agassi does here.
@@edgarpanganiban9339This is the same year that Sampras beat Roddick in straight sets in the U.S. Open qtrs, while Agassi beats Hewitt in the semis. Sampras then beat Agassi in the final.
why do they watch at the strings so much. wtf is that
They didn't have polyester strings that snap back into place after impact.
Hewitt was a trash player. He had no weapons, and could only beat Agassi because he had back problems. Federer won most of his Grand Slams in the weakest era of tennis, where players like Hewitt were n1.
"Hewitt was a trash player" is the dumbest thing I read in some time
Seek help
@@martydav9475 yeah sad times to come for this mofo without friends :) anyway, you can't be n°1 in the world without being super strong mentally technically and physically
better than you
keyboard warrior who probably does not play much tennis calling other players trash. I have seen it all
