Respect to Zidane from Real Madrid coach to top 20 in tennis

Thumbnail fake out, excellently done

Mannarino was barely running...just redirecting and efficient. He has amazingly effective technique!

Glad to see players like Mannarino can still win in modern tennis - placement and brains over pure power

it is insane how mannarino looks like a local club player but is a beast beneath it

This man won three 5 setters in a row...respect

I love Mannarino dude. The baldness, the long ass t shirt, the super compact swing, the fact that he doesn’t *look* like he’s in particularly amazing shape (I know he’s fit, maybe has something to do with the oversized t shirt)… I watch him play and I’m like “yo they let some random guy play in the Australian open… and he’s kicking ass.” It’s awesome I love it

as a French, I have to say I'm amazed to see all of you guys rooting for Adrian. I mean, the media here didn't do much for him, always behind Tsonga, Monfils and Gasquet for example. But reading all of your comments makes me realize he has much more love outside of our borders than inside. Nuff respect to all of you guys ;)

Funniest part is seeing fans do the phone thing. Lmao 🤣

Mannarino forgot to slam the phone down on Shelton after winning.

Mannarino game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥aging well like fine wine 👌🏾 🍷

Mannarino, looks, dresses and plays like no one else on tour. He is so crafty out there and good under pressure. Probably a nightmare to play against. I actually really like the match up of him vs Novak this year.

Mannarino , The Zidane of tennis, no running, no body building, handling the game on its own terms . Very smart player.

Problem with Shelton is he is so full of himself. You always have to respect your rivals, even more when they are experienced and solid players like Mannarino. Humbleness and patience, that's the key.

The contrast of Shelton's reactions of breaking and getting broken are hilarious.

Baby Ben. Looks like Adrian cut the phone call short

Mannarino reminds me of a tennis coach that's found himself in a grand slam. Grest match!!!!

Just love Mannarino and his no nonsense, workman like approach. Not to mention his home-made outfit. Lol

I swear I so happy for the underdogs who have been solid players and now reaping some real success….Mannarino, Dimitrov to name a couple

5:52 that's amazing. "Mannarino finally winning one of the cat and mouse points". Mannarino is brilliant at cat and mouse points. its amazing to me that shelton was able to get the better of him so many times. Shelton really has an amazing sense and feel around the net. its such a shame his forehand just doesn't match up with what he brings to the table. amazing serve. amazing volleys. amazing athleticism and fitness. but he just doesn't have that oppressive heavy topspin forehand that can help him push his opponent back and open the way forward to net from a neutral rally position. anytime he has a little bit of time on the ball with his forehand, he just flattens it out. too many errors that way, and prevents him from leveraging one of the things that makes him special. but then again, when I see him make an effort to hit with more topspin, he ends up hitting these super slow loopy moonballs. I don't know if its a grip issue, or a technical issue...or just stupid shot selection, but he seems incapable of producing that mixture of heavy topspin and pace that all the best forehands seems capable of producing from a neutral rally position.

No calling for Shelton today, amazing job from Mannarino! 💪

Winning vs shelton with no sponsor and pure brain, good to see

Mannarino is an underated genius

Mannarino deserves respect. Talent and unorthodox....

People underestimate Mannarino. I have seen him in practice live. He is a very crafty player with excellent footwork and always hits the ball in the middle of the racquet. He won’t give a point away, you have to earn it with power and precision which means a lot of unforced errors will happen for the opponent if his game is not on. Mannarino almost beat Federer twice, once in Basel on Federer’s home turf and once at Wimbledon (Roger’s last Wimbledon) where he Mannarino got injured or else he had a great chance for a first round upset.

Mannarino exposed Shelton's lack of...and cumbersome movement. He used Shelton's power against him with superior ball striking and anticipation. Shelton had no idea how to play him (except for brute power...again!) and was left utterly perplexed how Mannarino beat him. And, 15 years his senior. 👏👏👏

Mannarino is an incredibile player, i love his game

Dresses in what looks like practice apparel, hits like a club player, and takes out Shelton. Love to see it ❤

Anyone else impressed af at mannarino's steam at this stage in his career?

Crowd in the end mocking phone call on his face made my day

The real Goat of Tennis ♥ How can you not love Adrian Mannarino? It’s amazing how far he has come in his career. Boy been playing better lately. At 35 he is at his highest ever ranking (top 20). No hair, no sponsor, crazy tension of the strings (10 KG) of the racket, Wilson grip on an old Babolat racket(current model only painted) plays with an old Babolad Pure Aero, now out of production. Realizing that he was on the edge, he even made a appeal on Twitter, asking if anyone had any frames to sell him, while his colleagues change racket with each ball change, he uses the same frame even in five-set matches. The last brand to wear it was Italian Hydrogen, but for a couple of years he started wearing supermarket t-shirts again. A series of oddities that make it unique. Mannarino reminds me of a father of 3 children having fun and showing the world that anything is possible. ctto - by Annibale Rossi

He hits on the rise so clean and the amount of pace he can redirect is beyond impressive. He's gone from someone you've heard of 5+ years ago to someone you want to wathc now. Well done!

He is 35 now and he's getting better and better 💪🏻Perfect game

Clean and simple game from Andrianno. Good hands and taking the ball early is very effective. Nice to watch him play his best at the age of 35. Does he stand a chance against Novak? I don't think so but strangest things has happened in tennis. For example Soderling beating Rafa in Paris. Good luck. It d be great story if it happens.

Vamos Mannarino! Quite a feat, well done! Shelton is great, I like him overall. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but his constant celebrating and screaming on court is so annoying.

Sheltons on court antics easily make him most hated player on tour . The racquet flips , the “ come ons” and facial expressions , the phone thing , the arrogance , etc

i love watching Shelton’s showboat and hot dog tennis particularly when he’s defeated. It’s just a warm feeling..particularly when no one wants to embrace him at the net when it’s over. and whomever defeats him becomes my new favorite.🤷‍♀️

Shelton after losses: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss 🤩😛

With Mannarino every point is a "cat and mouse" point. He managed to keep Shelton guessing, reacting and running in most of the rallies. He basically disharmed and gassed the big guy. Super high quality and smart tennis. Impressive.

That mannarino slice in a slow motion is an absolute thing of a beauty 🔥🔥

2:45 that was HOT from Mannarino 🔥 BTW I like how Mannarino just looks like your uncle playing tennis on a Saturday in just a plain grey shirt and shorts, really cool.

Mannarino hung up that phone real quick huh 😂😂

Shelton tried to call but no one picked up the phone 🤙

Man I wish I had been able to watch that match! I didn't really follow Mannarino before the last couple years but I really enjoy watching him play. I'll be rooting for him and glad to see he got the victory ✌️ that was awesome

Mannarino and Medvedev has the weirdest a the funniest forehands:) Great job Adrianito!!!

Amazing match!! Beautiful tennis by both players. Super close and a great match. Respect to both of them. Ben has such passion and joy for playing the game and is so fun to watch. Hopefully he will have a long career like Adrian! It’s just the beginning. Kudos to Adrian for still going at it and still getting great wins after a long, successful career.

Shelton is a show, he has a long way to go to be a great tennis player

Came in here wanting Shelton to win, and left happy that Mannarino did lol

So glad for Mannarino, great win for a great guy !

Glad Shelton lost - the thumbnail scared me for a second....

Haven't seen a lot of mannarino matches, but bro wtf is that backhand😂 absolute savage, love it

If you follow Mannarino, he always dresses like some amateur from some street, that's why I love him 😃

Mannarino just hung up the phone.

Mental Level! Mannarino is a unique and dangerous customer. Very satisfying to watch him take on power hitters and humble them at their own game.

These are great highlights. One of the outstanding matches of the first week. A great battle and some really good tennis, intelligent and with some seriously good shots

One could see in Shelton's eyes that he thought he was going to win the match at 3/1 in the third set!

Thank you, Adrian, for cutting the phone call short ❤

This was a great match by both - and I'm excited for them both to build on their 2023 seasons! ❤❤❤

5:36 lmao. I think that the phone will follow Shelton forever. XD

Man's the silent beast of modern day tennis! Genius!

Little boy learning humility 📞☎️

Love thay french audience imitating ben sheltons hanging up the phone 😂

The smile from Adrian … 😊 subtle

Mannarino is the iron man of tennis, 3 five set matches in a row. I dont' know he he will be able to stand on Saturday let alone face djokovic who can play Mannarino's game better than Mannarino can. I think Djok will win in 3 and one of those sets will be a bagel.

Still so humble Shelton :) Every point won looks like he won a Grand Slam

No hair, no string tension, no kit supplier. Just tennis.

The Goat of tennis journeymen with the magic hands 🙌

finally good thumbnail 🤣🤣

That was almost as impressive as his goal against Bayern Leverkusen in 02 Champion´s League Final. Well done Zidane!!

Nice to see Mannarino get a win over the superego kid!😁👍

How does Mannarino make tennis look so EASY?!

Another rollercoaster of a match with really dramatic swings in momentum from Ben. He won 9 of 11 games from the start of the second set up to 3-1 in the third set and was almost toying with Mannarino during that point, and then became too casual and barely hung on to eventually play a strong third-set tie-break. Afterwards, he never got back to that form, and just let Mannarino dictate too many of the points. It was a very entertaining match, especially the third set, but Shelton really needs to find some way of staying consistently near his best tennis during a match, as this was a wasted opportunity to face Djokovic once more, and that's when you learn the most about the weaknesses in your game.

Thank you for mixing up the thumbnails!

5:35 THE GUY MOCKING SHELTON’S PHONE GESTURE I’M DYING 🤣🤣🤣

For the first time, I see Manarin reacting a bit stronger during important points won. 😄☎️Mr. Manarino. 👏🏼 I am waiting for a good match with Djokovic, although I am rooting for Djoko. 🤞🏼

Novak is not picking up his call for 4th round it seems.😂

Judging by the handshake...suoer sastisfying win for Mannarino I'm sure.

Mannarino at the nets is a joy to watch... Pure Art ❤

This match is a prime example of why this sport is so great. Two totally different styles, different generations and yet second to none entertainment for people around the world! Great match to both men.

This AO has been truly wild.

Love Mannarino style with his plain simple cotton t-shirt. Seems like your local rec player just enjoying himself playing in a grand slam. Congrats

AO friends - please consider posting the full match - thanks!

Yes!!! You guys FINALLY posted a vid and didn't give away who won the match in the thumbnail! I still say tho have reg pics of both players in the thumbnail looking fired up so no one can tell who won before we watch the whole highlight film but this is a good first step! More of this please Australian Open TV mates!

I always cheer for Mannarino . In a good day he can beat most players except Novak.

Насколько Маннарино обоятелен и скромен в поведении на корте , настолько неприятен высокомерен и отталкивает от себя Шелтон

I've grown fond of watching Mannarino over the past few years. Entertaining stuff!

People complained about winner on the thumbnail, tennis tv trolled back! Nicely done

Shelton’s ARROGANCE is BROKEN …

This is so wonderful! That old guy, that tennis magician is kicking Baby Bens, that wannabe star, wet a**. With smart, intelligent old school tennis. Absolutely wonderful.

A sweet masterclass by the divine bald! I love his game, his drop volley is pure magic, what a great show between these two that was !!

I love how you cant tell who was the winner of the game just by seeing the title and cover of the video on youtube, you really have to watch it until the end. I was honestly nervous on the match point cause i thought Shelton had won because the cover of the video haha. I wish soccer highlights also worked like this, instead of writing the final score right in the video title.

Merci Adrian ! :) j'adore le jeu de ce joueur :)

Adrian MannaGOAT!

Mannarino is the best player to watch on tour right now Hope he passes novak

Adriannnnnn!!!

There is something about watching Ben Shelton lose that’s so exhilarating. 👏☀️💯

Cuando Zidane se aburre del fútbol y decide jugar al tenis un tiempo... Un fenómeno!!!

One of my favorites! My guy is like a painter 🎨 🖌️ 🎾

Mannarino's outfit is on point

Imagine being 15 years younger, taking a 35 years old tennis player to a fifth set and somehow lose. Is shelton a prospect or not
