Santoro

He has won before at the Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon 2007-10-24 Santoro 6-7 6-2 4-6


There is a small chance here, but I think he is old and will get beat easy

Fuggedaboutit.

Joe Pesci lookalike has no chance here.

I would not be surprise if this goes down to the final set. I would stay away from this

Santoro has defeated 17 players who were ranked World No. 1 at some time during their careers (Jimmy Connors, Mats Wilander, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Jim Courier, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Thomas Muster, Marcelo Rios, Gustavo Kuerten, Carlos Moya, Pat Rafter, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Marat Safin, Lleyton Hewitt, Andy Roddick, and Roger Federer). Against two other former World No. 1 players, Santoro was 0–6 against Yevgeny Kafelnikov and 0–1 against Ivan Lendl.


pete sampres has a nickname for him..."the magician"

Santoro's best asset is his athelticism which helps him run down some ridiculous shots at times. Otherwise, if Roddick's serve is on - Santoro might stick around, but Roddick should win in 4 sets or less.

Mighty impressive.

i doubt santoro can break roddick in the 1st 2 sets. maybe 3rd set onwards.

[rm18]

That list is impressive but he has to be ancient to have beaten some of those guys
