This man was one of the biggest magician's in tennis history. Despite being one of the shortest players ever, he had an unorthodox style with two handed forehands that could beat anyone on his day.
In this video we’re taking a look at two of the most famous matches of his career, where the magician completely outplayed Roger Federer & Novak Djokovic.

One of the last players who did not focus everything on physical power but everything on touch, intelligence and positioning on the field. An ancient art of the game which has practically disappeared under the blows of the loggers on the fields.

Coach: vary your shots, you can't slice everything Santoro: watch this
-
MERCI, j'ai toujours pris beaucoup de plaisir à regarder Santoro jouer à Roland Garros (la bete noire de Safin ^^).
-
Santoro vs Rios. What a match!!
-
He looks like if David Ferrer did a LOT of Ayahuasca 😄
-
Wow. That's what it's all about. Play the way that works for you. Love the originality.

Santoro was sooo wily…. I love the journeymen in tennis, who so often show us that every dog has its day! Great court IQ and ability to vary the pace of his shots and just place the ball where it needed to be. Tactically astute. Reminds me a bit of Tomic, before he imploded. When Tomic was still trying he was one of the most exciting and unique talents I still I’ve seen in tennis, a one off never intended for mass production!

Le magicien français ! Incroyable cette vidéo !🤩

Very good idea to do this video on the "magician"! 👍🏻

Legend!!!! Forever

Using his left hand on the forehand slice, really interesting. Even letting go with the right hand sometimes so it's like a left-handed backhand slice with a high grip.
-
And you didn't show Santoro's 6/1, 6/1 demolition of Pete Sampras.
-
Quel talent, bravo l'artiste !!

Thank you for highlighting some other interesting and entertaining ayers from the recent past. Like Hseih Su Wei, it's great to show there's more than one way to play tennis. And for sure, his style caused some top players problems when they initially faced him, they were able to eventually figure out and solve his game..... But let's all appreciate shots you just do not see often of at all in the modern game. A total entertainer.

Et que dire de la victoire 6/1 6/1 de Santoro contre Pète Sampras alors que Sampras était numéro 1 mondial ? C'était une victoire incroyable.
