Dman9fp which is exactly why Federer was losing 1-3 matches a year consistently until 2011, where he was destroyed as Djokovic and Nadal started giving him competition. The drop in wins for him was so sharp it had nothing to do with age.
When one of the greats facing one of the upcoming greats. 2010s tennis was something else, when the big4 met the level of tennis never disappointed. The current guys might have one or two spectacular matches, but their consistency is nowhere near the big4.
Wow. Didn't remember this one. Flawless match by Murray and surprisingly lackluster Federer while still in his prime. Murray should have never dropped Brad from his team .
Well, to be fair most of those wins were in 2008 and first half of 2009, when Federer was crap and Murray getting better and better (actually I liked his style of play in those years).
Alexander Kings still wins for Murray though in that time frame Murray had Feds number early on let’s face it but Fed has since turned it around in his favour I love to see them face off again but not so sure now
@@luigidenobili6023 Was that really the real reason for the change though? Did you read that somewhere? Because if that was the reason, he should’ve switched back to his 2006 forehand after that beatdown at the 2008 FO…
Man, young Murray had variety, wasn't afraid to volley, even hit aggressively occasionally. This is the game style that may have actually made him truly a big 4. Don't know why he changed to that total retriever style. I admit that style could beat most of the other players but this was probably a better way to play Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. He wasn't as predictable as his game later became
his h2h against the big4 would of been better if he plays like this but its higher variance, meaning he could sometimes lose to other players because its risky. On any given day where he's not hitting as good and making more unforced errors he would lose easily. His pusher style later on allows him to be consistent and running deep in almost all tournaments he plays. He was a like a wall and nobody could get past him. That defensive style tho could never survive against the big3 who has many tools to break him down. Still Andy Murray was one of the greats and regardless of what others say, it was always Big 4 in my opinion.
you can see federer wasn't bothered in this match! look at the shot after he hit when murray vollyed it 6:25 , he didn't bother going for it lol. too exhausted
I remember this match quite well. Of the 5 matches Federer lost that year, this was the only one when he didn't really play well. Murray did well to take advantage of that and not let it go being still a youngster. Must've been a huge boost for confidence.
@@janefirn1328 Cus he got nothing left in the tank against andy after that gruelling 4 & almost half hour against delpo & the final was in less than a day after the semi .
@@haidern1738 the semi finals were on the Friday and the final was on Sunday, so not less than a day and on the Saturday Murray was playing mixed doubles matches.
@@davidmeldrum7689 Anyway roger looked that day out of fuel cuz it looked like a day & half didn't do much for him to recover 100% after semi while for Andy he was 6 years younger than roger so obviously his body recovered faster than roger & playing doubles didn't take a lot out of you comparing to singles, at the end that delpo's match played a big part in roger's loss the chance to win the gold medal.
I can kind of see why Federer made that comment where he said to Murray, after their Dubai match in 2008 - "I thought you were an aggressive player." Proceeded to comment how if Murray continued to play the way he played in that match, he was going to have a short career. That was Federer looking out for Murray at the time.
Federer's performance was very poor and erratic and didn't seem to find much inspiration and imagination. As a result, he was way too predictable and sluggish for whatever reason, and it was exploited... whilst Murray played very well in standing his ground on the baseline like a goalkeeper and relished the opportunity to compete and go for it. These differences matter in deciding outcomes in matches.
It is difficult to play against a smart slowballer and retriever if you don't know him well. No rythm at all, balls going all over the place, weird loops and rotations, pace changes etc.
How was he poor, he was shattered! You can tell at 6:28 when he didn't bother running for the ball! He was saving his energy for that us open that year and won it!
Murray was good at coaxing federer into going for too much. He used to just extend the rallies and wait for federer to make errors. Murray, Simon, and canas used this style very well until federer gained more patience and waited for the right ball to attack. Back then federer was trying to end rallies way to fast.
imagine how many titles federer would have now if he had the fighter mentality of nadal from the time he started playing? forget about it he would have 30 slams and 40 masters titles. federer is the best in my opinion, the goat, however many matches he lost he could have won if he just hung in there and fought harder and didnt give up. rafa on the other hand has won matches he had no business winning because no matter how much he was losing by he never let it get to him and fought like a bull till the end of every match
People forget Djokovic Nadal Murray are all 5+ years younger than Federer so they had time in their advantage. Also they are also blessed with no new challengers that are of thier calibre among the new generations after them
2 reasons I’d reckon: 1) the ATP (and WTA) has done a tremendous job marketing the game over the last 15 years. Extensive news coverage and building player brands has skyrocketed ticket sales. Look, even Sampras v. Becker was played in front of a half full crowd in the mid 90s. The sport has grown. 2006 was the tail end of the old era - hard courts were still single color, Nadal and Fed were just beginning to really heat up, etc. The tennis-knowing population was smaller in general 2) Southwest Ohio, middle America, end of summer, middle of the week, midday. We Americans are gearing up for school or finishing out summer vacations at beaches, not 2nd tier Midwest city with no exceptional identity to name. Always wondered how Cincy has remained relevant despite its marked blandness in contrast to other Masters 1000 cities (Paris, Rome, Shanghai, Miami, Monte Carlo...c’mon!)
See Federer on net when 19 year old andy beat him and see how novak is so friendly in defeat when holger ruen beat him or any other player get a win on him
It was after this match Federer really realized that his nightmares was coming because there are more "Nadals" coming not just on clay but also on hard and grass. That's why he got so frustrated and condemned Murray for being too passive 😂
I like it!! Better than what we are seeing at some of the 2020 small post-covid tournaments with their awful aerials where you can barely see the player on the far side (or the ball at all)
This federer only looses 2 matches in 2006, this one was one of them and he had an off day it clear, this match its the worst example of federer level in 2006
Thats really dumb shit, his worst match of that year im the second part of the season (he pummeled the tour and ofc that takes a toll on his body) and you think people will make excuses about his age? Its was an off day simple as that, (2 defeats in 2006 say its all)

why did federer change his forehand swing motion in 2008? This forehand motion produced so much power and spin. Looked beautiful as well
He did it in order to try beating Rafa on clay. But things did not go as planned, he actually played very well in 2006 in Rome and in Paris too....
