No point in arguing that Yevgeny Kafelnikov was undoubtedly one of the most talented players of his era. 10 years in ATP top 10, 5 years in top 5, former world no.1, davis cup winner, , 2 grand slams on 2 different surfaces, 4 doubles grand slams, , Olympic gold medalist as well
23 years ago I set the alarm clock and watched this match live at arround 2am. I remember I was blown away by the shot making quality in the first set... this is undoubtedly one of the matches that pushed tennis to its modern standards.
Kafelnikov played amazing the firs set!!! He got tired it’s a shame because he was playing incredible but Agassi was in another level that day that’s why he was the “punisher” I wonder if they have played at night what the outcome could be
What an incredible match!! Still amazing 20+ years later!
I’ve seen tennis in the 90’s and that 1st set was the best set of tennis I saw Kafelnikov play in his career. Mind you he won 2 Grand Slam titles.
Two of the best tempo baseline players ever. Look how early and hard they hit the ball.
This match is a great example of why Agassi won so much. Kafelnikov got off to a hot start, but when you are playing against Agassi - especially in the heat - he can just wear you down throughout the match... In the last few games Kafelnikov looked exhausted and Andre looked like he could play another few hours if he had to. He really played so much differently in these best years of his career than when he was younger. His fitness and ability to grind took so much of the pressure of his game to outhit these younger players. He could take guy's legs away and make the match all about fitness. It worked so well for him!
That down the line backhand from kafelnikov is like a hot knife cutting butter LOL
Jesus Christ Kafelnikov's backhand down the line was a sniper.
Check Yevi at 1996 vs Sampras, Kafelnikov is such an example of overplaying and lack of knowledge. Magnus Norman clearly stated how wrong this generation was about training and the lack of rest.Todayy players work so much more on mobility and strength, in 1996 yevi was the perfect player, tall, strong, thin and mobile. He should have won so much more.
Ver jugar a Kafelnikov es disfrutar. Tenía una forma de jugar muy bonita, y un revés precioso. Un gran jugador inolvidable
A VHS tape recording of this match was the main thing that improved my tennis as a beginner. With no internet access and no coaches, this was the first and only tennis video I had access to for years. So I rewatched it countless times. After only one year, I was beating guys who'd played 10+ years. Memories!
You don't see tennis like this no more. Superb play from both.
Two of the best two-handed backhands on display.
One of the best played matches I ever seen in that time !
Thanks for the video. I was a teen in the mid 90's to early 2000's and have fond memories of tennis from that time. Two of my favourites from the era right here.
I've watched this game... I remember being astounished by the speed of their strokes, it was amazing... seeing this now is a testimony of what level the big three brought tennis to... Absolutely insane
Wow! I don't think I have ever seen the ball hit harder! It was almost insane how fast the ball was going back and forth.
Agassi was out of this world
I think that Agassi was in his 30s and late in the career more successful than before because he was more disciplined
