Video: Top 70 ATP Points of All-Time


Naturally, it would be really hard, after 40-plus years of ATP tennis, to say that there is a definitive, set-in-stone list of the best 70 points of all-time. But who are we to argue with YouTube user vb3347? (extra credit for spanning eras, nations and players to make a truly diverse and authentic highlight reel)

All we can really say after spending 55:50 with this unbelievably cool montage of hot shots, tweeners, net crashes and roof-raising moments of genius is: PREPARE TO GET YOUR MIND BLOWN!

We realize that you may not have 55 minutes to spare at the moment, so we've taken to liberty to draw you up a cheat sheet to use for your first viewing. Here goes:

:00 Roger Federer and Mikhail Youzhny play a perpetual backhand slice point. Nice way to set the tone.

1:35 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga dazzles with improvisation on the Wimbledon grass. The only thing that would have made this point better is if he'd made the last volley from the seat of his pants.

6:14 Paradorn Srichaphan performs a feat of physical wizardry that leaves his opponent baffled and tumbling over the net.

8:05 One of the coolest Federer points you'll ever see. And that is saying A LOT!

9:30 The joy of Mahut!

10:20 This had to be the best backhand John McEnroe ever hit.

11:10 Two words: Fabrice Santoro!

24:15 Doubles love! And an otherworldly get by Alexandr Dolgopolov.

30:15 Fernando Verdasco has his “point in the sun” in Monte-Carlo vs. Rafa.

32:07 Simply because he's Lamonf.

34:15 Pretty sneaky, Andy Murray.

38:05 Why stars need to play more doubles.

41:37 Nalbandian's tweener drop volley—are you kidding me?

47:12 Marat Safin's diving stab volley—are you joking?
