We guys are lucky to be born in this era of tennis.Del Potro Murray warwinka clilic nishikori tsonga Ferrer Berdych Djokovic Nadal federer ❤️ thank you gentle giant for the memories
I cried reading your response to the gentle giant's retirement= I never got to see him live, nor AA but I saw Laver and Gonzales live. Unfortunately Ferrer is a sexist so I don't care that I never saw him live. And I never liked Berdych's attitude nor the fact that he was rarely able to effectively counter attack once he got the initiative- he was a one dimensional player, not a truly all court player with defensive skills at the max like Rafa and the joker. Unfortunately Stan the Man's one hand master stroke is of a dying breed Tsisissy pas will be the last one hander in the top five. Thiem will never get back to where he once belonged. the one handed band is a relic of the past= just ask Justine Henin. Federer is teaching his boys the double handed backhand, nuff said.
When Del app was destroying his opponents with that absolute monster of a forehand it was get the pop corn out time. Never seen anything like it . Ever.
DelPo was screwed over by injuries. He is as good as any in the history of tennis. A true powerhouse and owner of arguably the biggest FH in tennis, period. It saddens me so much that two of my fav players ever Safin and DelPo were injury plagued. Though Safin was also a headcase on top of the injuries lol.
Yes I'm glad you mentioned what a head case Marat was. I saw him break rackets and be a crybaby at Indian Wells in person. He lost any respect I had for him in one match= no self control at all. almost as bad as McEnroe and John didn't break rackets= a pet peeve of mine ==== I still own rackets I've had since the 60's.
Watching Del potro's forehand IS the most satisfying thing in tennis. Just the combination of bang, clip the line, and the reaction of the opponent, and the roar of spectators as well as the commentator.
Used to watch Del Porto in Miami at Sony Ericsson Open. His forehand is truly perfect and so incredibly powerful. He might come back...I hope he does. Amazing player!
🎵 I knew You were trouble when You walked in (into FH position) So shame on me now (that I let You be in FH position) Flew me to places I would never been So you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
If you want to be a super tennis player, you've got to have Delpo's forehand, Wawrinka's backhand, Edberg's volley, Roddick's serve, and Sampras' 2nd serve
I like Meddy's first serve better than Roddick's because of variety and placement, not power. But both Andy and Meddy have winning personalities despite the New York fans who treated Meddy abysmally last Autumn.
Amigo sabes lo que es jugar a la defensiva todo el tiempo, los rivales lo acorralan y les atacan y el gana los puntos defendiendose de la manera mas dificil y cansadora, hace remates contra las cuerdas. Esa pegada es unica!
The thing is, to get better at tennis and to raise your level, you need to be playing consistently. We will never know the true potential of Delpo and the level he could have reached because he never played for extended periods of time.
I still feel very sad that he had to retire early due to that freak knee injury out of the blue when he was on very top form back in 2018. Such a talented player. His forehand is the best in the world. How he can generate such a speed with such a compact swing with his forehand is beyond me. Very consistent and accurate shot as well. Imagine how many deep runs and wins he could accomplish if he didn't have that knee injury (his wrist injuries on both hands as well). Such a shame.
Daría lo que fuese porque no se lesionara. Sería la piedra en el zapato del Big3 y tendría el tenis siempre más emoción. Una lástima que no pudo llegar al 1 en el Ranking como quiso, pero fue un gigante en lo poco que jugó...
Saw the quarterfinal between those two at the US Open in 2016 and the difference was Stan’s backhand. Stan’s forehand was almost as good as Delpo’s that night, but Stan’s backhand was devastating. The majority of us in the crowd were pulling for Delpo, but Stan was just too lethal with that backhand that night and the entire tournament. Glad that I was able to see Delpo at least once in person. Love that guy.
I sorely miss Del Potro. He is such a great player. Massive forehand, cool head and an underdog demeanor that just gets you rooting for him every time. Awesome player. So sad that his injuries will keep him from enjoying what he loves to the most.
Watch out though, his forehand is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, but overall, not as consistent as Roger or Rafa. That makes a huge difference. Still a beauty !
Djokovic belongs in the conversation too. He may not have as much power, but his forehand return and his ability to defend cross-court and line at will is unparalleled.
everyone use to talk about the power of the FH of Delpotro ... when this guy was able to do evey Fh from everywhere with any angle in regulation ... or not :) the last true flat FH ! thx Martin :)
i've only seen two players have such great, hard and accurate forehand shots. Del Potro and Robin Söderling. Sadly both had their careers destroyed by injuries
Del potro was the best before he got injured and had surgery he was unstoppable he even won a grand slam (us open) in 2009 against roger federer after one of the most epic matches ever played and one of the biggest comebacks!Now he's had surgery twice or three times on his wrist that's why he's fallen off now and his backhand is just a slice....He took ages to return and he never did fully because after numerous injuries on his wrist and his knee he retired in 2022 unfortunately because he couldn't compete anymore since he was old too...But don't underestimate him he was a beast!
Hope the man is doing good, last time I read about him he was suffering and could not do basic things like driving without being in excruciating pain ☹️
He has all that power because he makes contact with his right arm fully extended and not bent at the elbow - as compared with Nadal who’s elbow is always bent !
aún no entiendo que siendo tan bueno sólo ganara un gran slam. ojala no se hubiera lesionado, sino seguiría reventando la pelota con ese drive tan potente. Una lástima su retirada....

Would like to add monfils, Gasquet as well
Add soderling also

Del Po
That forehand is probably my favorite shot in the history of any sport.
It was joy to watch Delpos and Berdychs forehands, what an era that was.
Gonzalez Forehand too 🤩
What’s special about Berdychs? Wasn’t never anything special.
@@darrenlucas7362 yes it was
Lol it was an average forehand. Such a great forehand yet could never win anything relevant
@@darrenlucas7362 You don't win majors with just a forehand.
His forehand is truly one of the best!
*was
He just retire : )
No, it's THE BEST
Sorry was the best.
Gonzalez or del Potro? Which forehand is better?
@@sjfkriensm Gonzalez, but Del Potro is great !!
Sad for his retirement 😢.. Never Forget his US Open 2009 and his rocket shots 😍
That match against Nadal at Shanghai was something else, he crushed the ball the whole match.

Enjoy life, Delpo! Lots of respect to you from Brazil.

When Delpo grunts on his forehand, you know you are in trouble!
🎵
I knew You were trouble when You walked in (into FH position)
So shame on me now (that I let You be in FH position)
Flew me to places I would never been
So you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
The Delpo forehand grunt, most Alpha thing in tennis. Ever.
So happy that we have TH-cam. I will come back here often to get a dosis of Delpo!
W Delpo il diritto più forte di tutti i tempi...in my heart forever.
Thank you TennisTv!! Awesome Tribute!
If you want to be a super tennis player, you've got to have Delpo's forehand, Wawrinka's backhand, Edberg's volley, Roddick's serve, and Sampras' 2nd serve
And Borg Stamina 🤗
And Monfils athleticism
And Tomic mentality
I like Meddy's first serve better than Roddick's because of variety and placement, not power.
But both Andy and Meddy have winning personalities despite the New York fans who treated Meddy abysmally last Autumn.
Oh and Nadal's tenacity and the joker's backhand service return and his guts when facing match points.
Delpo's forehand deserves its own entry in Tennis Hall of Fame.
EL UNICO LATINO EN TODA LA HISTORIA EN TRAER UNA COPA DAVIS, UN ORGULLO NACIONAL Y LATAM!
Y los compañeros que? Cebaban mate?
The most feared forehand of all time! probably
What a great compilation. Thank you!!

he is good as big 3 when he is not injury Was expecting him to play more incredible games but he retired due to injury
Not as good as big 3
That´s a bit exaggerated, no one is as good as the Big 3.
But he certainly would´ve won a lot more than he actually did.
No he was a good player but never consistent as top players .
@@virtuallimit8615 he got injury bro that's why he missed many tennis matches
We will unfortunately never know if he was that good, but before 2010, his level was tremendous. I miss him, what a player !
Daría lo que fuese porque no se lesionara. Sería la piedra en el zapato del Big3 y tendría el tenis siempre más emoción. Una lástima que no pudo llegar al 1 en el Ranking como quiso, pero fue un gigante en lo poco que jugó...
Sad the many yrs ive followed tennis, now. Ive never seen many, if any of his matches. Thanks for the upload! 👍
Sad that Del Potro had retired young, we love to see him compete with the big 3.
The Juan and only GGOAT! (Gentlest Giant Of All Time) 🏆
The point at 9:00 was the return in 2011 us open semi final on match point
Gimme Delpo's forehand and Stan's backhand any day of the week, please
Saw the quarterfinal between those two at the US Open in 2016 and the difference was Stan’s backhand. Stan’s forehand was almost as good as Delpo’s that night, but Stan’s backhand was devastating.

Destroying combination, although I prefer, Delpo's forehand and Nalbandian's backhand.
I sorely miss Del Potro. He is such a great player. Massive forehand, cool head and an underdog demeanor that just gets you rooting for him every time. Awesome player. So sad that his injuries will keep him from enjoying what he loves to the most.
You finally included Nole'sclock kick 😆
if his career had not been affected by injuries he would have become number 1 in the world.
I'd like Tennis TV to post another TENNIS LEGENDS episode, about this mighty hero delPotro
Del Potro's 🇦🇷 Forehand is one of the greatest.....
Like....
Gonzalez
Federer
Nadal
Agassi
Plus more others... 👍 🎾
Watch out though, his forehand is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, but overall, not as consistent as Roger or Rafa. That makes a huge difference. Still a beauty !
@@guiluge it’s actually rly consistent
@@Max-yp1iw It is of course, but not AS consistent ;)
His forehand is devastating like no other.
Djokovic belongs in the conversation too. He may not have as much power, but his forehand return and his ability to defend cross-court and line at will is unparalleled.
Juan is my fav tennis player. Thank you for the memories Juan, love you!
Delpo
Probably the best Down the line Forehand!
El grande Delpo! 👍🏆
I'm gonna watch this and cry
Monster forehands 😮💨
Forehand Delpo,backhand Stan the man!
Nadal's defence , Roger's touch
Will be a monster tennis player
Most powerful forehand in the world, without doubts
That s right
He's so cool !
Love me a Del Po roar!!!
@0:56, you know that's some forehand when even Djokovic doesn't bother attempting to return, that too on clay.
Incredible !!!
Monster!!!
So sad his career was so jeopardized by injuries! He would be easily a player to be one of the big four/five...
Greatest forehand ever!
After Nadal and Gonzalez
everyone use to talk about the power of the FH of Delpotro ... when this guy was able to do evey Fh from everywhere with any angle in regulation ... or not :)
the last true flat FH !
thx Martin :)
I will miss him a lot
3:00 Damn, Djokovic, what did Rolex ever do to you?
Like Koenig Says « BOOMSHKI » !!!
The 'Greatness is not measured by numbers' Federer advertisement during Wimbledon 2021
Lol🤣
i've only seen two players have such great, hard and accurate forehand shots. Del Potro and Robin Söderling. Sadly both had their careers destroyed by injuries
Del Potro's double backhand was virtually as devastating as his forehand.
Pre injury, absolutely!
no
Del potro was the best before he got injured and had surgery he was unstoppable he even won a grand slam (us open) in 2009 against roger federer after one of the most epic matches ever played and one of the biggest comebacks!Now he's had surgery twice or three times on his wrist that's why he's fallen off now and his backhand is just a slice....He took ages to return and he never did fully because after numerous injuries on his wrist and his knee he retired in 2022 unfortunately because he couldn't compete anymore since he was old too...But don't underestimate him he was a beast!
The best forehand of all time. In terms of power and consistency, it is unmatched. Maybe the most lethal weapon in tennis as well.
Once he started winding that forehand back, there's no hope
ESTAS COMPLETAMENTE LOCO DELPOOOOOOO!!!💣💣💣💣🔥🔥
Brutal Delpo ¡¡¡¡
Do not allow Delpotro to play three forehands in a row. One of them will be whistling past you as a winner ☄️
the only one tennis player that can make djokovic cry on his knees😁
Destroying combination Delpo's forehand and Nalbandian's backhand.
The biggest running forehand in the business !
14:38 Berdych: "Shet!"
3:00
His forehand is by far best that ever seen
Delpo delpo delpo 👏👏👏💯💯💯
The speed of the shots in that djokovic rally is ridiculous
Esta simpre Delpo ❤🇦🇷
Most destructive shot in tennis history. Such a shame he was plagued with so many injury problems that kept him from achieving a lot more
İ wish i could watch his forehand more. His injury was a big loss for us.
Freakin legend
When his FH is on... STAY AWAY from that wing
Perfecto
Who has better forehand, Rublev or Del Potro?
Bro Delpo’s forehand is quite different class. Please don’t even compare to Ruv.
Agassi, Sampras, Del Potro, Murray, Federer. Massive forehands without useless and annoying grunting
3:38 4:55 6:00
4:12 kinda sus
7:42 an incredible point. I just had to laugh at this.
Dolgopolov very underrated player as well tbf he could player some crazy tennis but that stretch and power from the del Potro was another level above😅
It’s the second prettiest shot ever
Go ahead and ask
First?
@@roundabout4531 Norrie backhand/Delbonis serve
If he’d not had such terrible luck with injuries Del Potro would have won more grand slams for sure
Hope the man is doing good, last time I read about him he was suffering and could not do basic things like driving without being in excruciating pain ☹️
What a great looking forehand with that much power, unlike some top 10s now with ugly ass shots and no backhand whatsoever (berretini).
Djokoshit being the clown that he is at 3:00
He has all that power because he makes contact with his right arm fully extended and not bent at the elbow - as compared with Nadal who’s elbow is always bent !
What type of thor is that?
Always loved watching Delpo unleash on his monster FH - that's the shot that won him 2009 US Open against Federer
He's not intentionally hitting flat, there's just no time for the top spin to take effect
😂
I fear for any linesman that had to stare down one of those forehands down the line. It's like watching a four-seam fastball coming right at you
Vaporised !!!
demonic forehand.
Eastern forehand is definitely most beautiful!
I'm not suprised that the most viewed part of the video is Djokovic kicking the rolex board XD
Best forehead in the history of Tennis 🎾🔥
He was talented🥎🎾
Rly?
@@stm1965 yes of course. But less than big3🤷♂️
I ain't ever seen a man hit a ball as hard as him, when he decides to let that forehand go no1 can stop it
Del Potro could comfortably hit baseline forehands at 1st serve speeds
When you put so much weight into the ball, of course you will crash it (if you have that great timing like Juan has ;-) )
And people still say the grunt gives power😂
aún no entiendo que siendo tan bueno sólo ganara un gran slam. ojala no se hubiera lesionado, sino seguiría reventando la pelota con ese drive tan potente. Una lástima su retirada....
Bummer injuries destroyed what could have been
It seems like Djokovic was able to neutralize or even break down del Potro's forehand in the 2018 US Open final.
Nah, combo of Djokovic's hypnotic playing style and Delpo having an off day
Look how desperately Delpo’s opponents try to avoid his forehand
