Gustavo Kuerten vs Marat Safin Five-Set THRILLER | Hamburg 2000 Final Extended Highlights

isn't that lovely touches silky it's wide and Burton has the early advantage and there's no doubt who's settled the quicker and there's the backhand down the line teasing and tantalizing him that's a brilliant drop shot having driven curtain back so far he's missed it and Safin's back in the match Burton seemed to have this match in his pocket to reassert his authority that's going to be very expensive because that's going to cost him a point penalty point and he's lost his serve as a result of that reaction a point penalty awarded against him so it goes from love 40 to game and gets the break of serve that's the best way to get rid of your frustration yes I wondered if he had the umpire's face imprinted on the ball as he hit it oh he's missed another one and he's thought better of doing anything other than to put his head in his hands well Marat Safin seems to be getting himself back together again and now he fails at the first attempt to serve out for the third set he will get another chance no hesitation that's a brilliant shot oh dear a double fault and the break of serve both finding lines in that point side edge of the line quite extraordinary shot and Safin says well you can do it on that side so i'll have a go on this was twice a break up in that fourth set oh he's missed it and he was a sucker for a lob in reply Safin breaks back it's three all in the fifth not trying is he this behind him he's had to be down there for three hours 26 and for once squirting doesn't even try to run down can breathe again six foot four is has been so good for Safin throughout the match brilliant from Quirton three chairmanship points to the man I confess I thought it shot his bolt we're in this year for Gustavo Quirton three hours and 51 minutes he's beaten Safin Pazos can't hold back the tears
