Bangkok 2004 Roger Federer vs Paradorn Srichaphan

[@pats.5941]

Relieving this as Federer announces his retirement. I was there as a 13 year old and my first (and only) time watching live tennis event. As a Thai, even though Srichaphan lost, I am glad that I had a chance to see Roger Federer during his best years. Thank you Roger ❤️🐐

ได้ดูตอนปี 2005 ชิงกับ Andy

[@dewman7477]

Lucky you I never saw Federer live. I saw Djokovic live three times though

[@namispondjamispond9282]

What a great player PS was. I kinda miss watching him play.

[@Sanlorenzofederal]

Absolutly he has annamazing forehand,really good on tactics.and hes not a giant like todays players

[@gorakod2499]

@@jimclawley7503 he got injured before that, the accident just made it hard for him to come back.

[@therealbs2000]

9:58 classy thai crowd. Federer takes out their national hero and the thais show respect for both. Paradorn was a great player with beautiful technique and a hell of an athlete to boot. This is tennis at its finest.

[@wdsa7129]

Way better than the Wimbledon crowd

[@1729krish]

@@wdsa7129 way better than all gs crowds. All are too unruly now

[@bbbazzinga]

Wow, what a great match this was, this two produced some amazing tennis when they met each other in the court. This match and basel 2006 are two jewels.

[@slamandjam2]

Yeah Basel 06 always stands out to me as one of the greatest shotmaking matches I've ever seen

[@panneetantinukul5658]

@@slamandjam2 Very close match. Paradorn could win.

[@Noobmaster-wc5rr]

This was such an amazing treat and crowd was so amazing. Federer is just like a wizard making it look so easy. Srichapan was an amazing player and Federer made him work really hard for all those points. Respect to both the players!

[@POK2008]

Fed's forehand was unbelievable back then.

[@mr.tomyum732]

Yeah was def better than now!? 😬

[@nousername34]

That 1 2 punch at 8:00 is just incredible.

[@endorstoi863]

Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.

[@Lil7672]

Man growing up as an Asian kid using a 1HB, paradorns always been my secret hero. Too bad he got way too many injuries to realize his full potential, he was kei before kei

[@MrProtoMega]

Yes, it was after Davis Cup events in late September. This event in Thailand no longer exists.

[@seizethedayandlive]

It's a shame the tournament no longer exists; even the one they used to have in Hua Hin and Pattaya are gone :-(

[@munetoshiyamasaki7536]

I joined the last tournament held in 2013. I thought I'd come back next year, but there wasn't.

[@donnabonnie1509]

I was there! Good old days 😊

uttt tyu ใช่ครับ หมดยุคของ ภาราดร ดนัย พี่น้องคู่แฝด ก็ไม่มีใครมาแทนอีกแล้ว วงการเทนนิสไทย ต้องก้าวหน้ามากกว่านี้

คอร์ตสมัยก่อนเร็ว แต่สมัยนี้ช้าเหมือน clay มันก็ยากเพราะต้องอึดขึ้น

[@โตแล้วคิดเองได้]

สู้กันแบบสูซี๋มากๆๆคับ ภราดร กะ เฟสเดเรอร์

[@โตแล้วคิดเองได้]

แต่เก่งทั้งคู่ ไม่เปนสองลองใคร คับ ต่างคนต่างมีฝีมือ คับ ดูแล้วสนุกดี

[@พูนทรัพย์บุญส่ง-ป4จ]

ชอบดูภราดรแข่งมาก ขอบคุณสำหรับวีดิโอครับ

[@mypandabear50344]

This game brought out the best skills display in both players. Can tell from the concentrated looks that they know they are facing their best opponent.

[@mr.tomyum732]

Wow paradorn was amazing.. playing toe to toe with fed in his prime! 👍🇹🇭🔥

[@MrZener11]

after a long time i have heard Vijays Aahh Ohhh commentary

[@iwansutisna3814]

Srichapan was one of the best asian tennis player ever compete in the international tennis scene

[@jscab7140]

[@BEERx4659]

มันส์มากๆลุ้นสุดๆเลย มาดูในปี 2024

Did Paradorn retire? Is he coaching somewhere now? Great player for sure.

[@Loose_taco]

unbelievable his shining was too short

[@nikhilchopra4200]

How fast is this court? The ball just racing away.

[@minh1197]

nice ending. if only paradorn had a better serve and less of an attraction to models, he could have had lots of success!

[@魚-c3d]

What a fierce forehand federer had 🤯

[@fabrizziolevoni849]

This guy played like Pete Sampras, just amazing

[@precessionoftheequinoxes3224]

Ponytail FedEx will be missed.

[@СергейПахомов-д6б]

КАК МОЛОДЫ МЫ БЫЛИ......))))

[@mr.tomyum732]

Wow as good as fed is now, you can see he was a good amount better. That forehand was crazy

[@brucemcclelland2069]

I loved watching tennis when men were men and played with single handed backhand

[@diamondbreak]

This Thai player looked too promising. He's got the best flat forehand I've ever seen. So ashame, he was just retired too early.

[@sankaranmohan7541]

Real power game

[@dayukumso3787]

Paradorn Srichaphan better than Kei Nishikori

[@burizaemon9305]

Kei would wipe the floor with him...

[@魚-c3d]

Absolutely not

[@edwinivanrodriguez3769]

​@@魚-c3dabsolutly YES

[@edwinivanrodriguez3769]

He was way better than nishikori for sure

[@subhabratadas8419]

I like this surface . The slow modern surfaces suck.

[@tadficuscactus]

Megaladon Srichaphan.

[@jefflo1487]

highest level federer ive ever seen

[@repubug1365]

PS better mentality and more intelligent than zverev, tsitsipas.

[@jnqt]

wow the courts used to be fast

[@SureshChMeena]

Pure winners....not like baseline timewasting players like that 12 time RG champion, 7 time AO champion.....dull game

[@jayap3557]

:-) nice way to show your disappointment...but one of the dull two that you name is being hailed as the GOAT by the whole world...

[@keithwatson7434]

Beat the shit out of Federer lol 24>>>>>>>20, 394>>>>>>>>>>>310.

[@魚-c3d]

Cope, dummy.

[@Trueace21000]

He looks better than peak Djokovic here...

[@かなりえずきスラム常盤平団地]

フォファフィーのロン毛もカッコいいね！

this forehand is scary as fuck..

[@RandomGuy285]

Exhibition stuff

[@panneetantinukul5658]

Not it's real "Thailand Open".

[@ademismail9117]

I’m sorry Djokovic will get the most grandslams I agree with that but this is the best tennis I seen in my life the 2004 Federer would fuck nadal Djokovic anybody in his path when he was strong and not scared of anybody this is the highest level you will ever see

[@keithwatson7434]

That means you need to get your eyes checked out. Or maybe you just don't deserve to have eyes with a brain like that.

[@bueycillo11]

Never heard of that Paradorn guy.....just a regular tennis player....never win a GS, so just a practice partner for The Maestro....

[@kevingilhooley2064]

Yes Paradorn had great talent and soperb movement.... it's. a shame he went down the drug(cocaine) and marital abuse route......can't quite remember if he went to prison or he paid off his wife's allegations.

[@olifromva2025]

you probably snorted the cocaine typing up that comment.
