See title. I'm enjoying throwing on old matches or highlights while cooking dinner these days, YouTube is a wonder.

Who are some of your favorite players and matches to watch for entertainment value?

Bonus for them being a player who isn't as well known (i.e. not Kyrgios)
More bonus for providing a specific match
even more bonus for providing a HQ video link :)
 
I like watching Kohlschreiber play from time to time but he gets mentioned so often as an “under the radar” guy that he’s very well-known lol
Richard Gasquet looks very promising, very nice backhand, under my radar since 2006.
His hair loss is a bit worrying although.
 
Of current players Nishioka is one that comes to mind for me. Counter punching isn't my favorite style to watch, but I find his game entertaining.
 
It appears that on TTW all but The Big 3 are “under the radar.” :oops: And the jury is still out on Eggvax. Maybe if he wins the CYGS.
 
This was one of the funniest moments in tennis history, when Zivojinovic beat McEnroe (with a bagel in the last set) in 1985 after having a sandwich in the stands during a match while McEnroe was arguing with the referee.

Dusan Lajovic. One of the most beautiful one-handed backhands in the game.
 
Watch the Tomic- Federer match (2012 AO). It was suprisingly entertaining. Tomic was very good when he was younger and actually tried.

Lord Gulbis of course! Currently ranked 189 but if there was any justice in the world, he should be #1.

Nalbandian Hewitt AO 2011 R1 is also a very good match. Incredible shot selection from both, angles. It has everything.
One of my favorite matches ever.

It’s such a crime that the best mid-2000s matches seemed to be filmed in potato quality. Even watching some big Federer Slam matches I can see the ball about 20% of the time. Really disappointing.
