Dont matter who it is this is the Godzilla Federer... the prime one... he did same thing to Gaston at ATP world tour finals in 2005. These people today that are "fans" dont understand that Federer back then is the Greatest player that EVER played, if you watch him durning that time... no one comes close to his level ... no one
@@MM-dm4xj Why you comment if you dont know anything about tennis, Federer played durning the time there were 12 world number 1 players, djokovic played his entire career against 6... you only make a fool out of yourself
But this is nothing compare to what he did to Hewitt at one of the grandest stage in tennis. The US Open final in 2004. Federer won 60 76 60 against a former No.1, delivered two bagels.
He never lost heart and tried to the end with good attitude, so no I don't agree that it was a humiliation. Prime time Federer routed alot of good pro tour players especially in his 20's which was the most profilic span of any top player ( he won 16 Slams between the ages of 20 and 29
If you win 3 games off of a VERY prime Federer whose level was scary high (I think some people forget that the guy was winning 90+% of tour matches for years on end) that can't count as a humiliation. Especially if you're 200-ish in the world. It speaks great of the guy that he kept the fight going to win a few games in the last set and take Fed to deuce on his own serve.
This guy looks like he's never played on clay before with how he moves. I can see how it would feel completely impossible to hit a winner against Federer on clay especially if you're a much lower ranked player, and then things just snowball. I wouldn't even call it humiliating...honestly this guy probably never would have even got the chance to play Federer in a normal tournament
I don’t think the depth has increased as much as you suggest. At the moment nearly all of the players reaching major quarter finals are in the top 16 and the ones reaching finals are normally in the top 4. Back then you had the likes of Schuettler, Clement and Puertas reaching grand slam finals 😅
The guy got to deuce on Fed's serve. Had a some tight games on serve. It was a complete lambasting although the score looks bad. But then he was playing the greatest of all time. Djokovic has been the closest in his dominance.
Honestly from a tennis player point of view this wasn't all that bad. I think nerves got the better of the opponent. He played very safe. Definitely just needs more mental toughness. Federer was quite teeing off on some shots here more than usual. His movement was also off-the-charts here. Great positioning and anticipation. He is definitely hitting more winners too.
I am sure that humiliating his opponent was the last thing in Roger Federer’s mind. He only tried his best, as he always did, against a less skilled opponent. DESTROY, HUMILIATION are words that poor posters use to get more views by those that have some anger management issues.
I mean, that's not really true. He only has 1 title and 4 finals appearances at the French Open. He had early exits to players in the top 50 even before Nadal was really on the scene. Federer's game was so good overall that he was a threat to anyone on any surface, but he wasn't especially good on clay.
Yeah well number one he was 200 odd and as much as youre playing it down 200 is low regardless of time period, number two its clay which is the hardest surface to play on anyway and number three hes a Brit so theyd be the least experienced in clay cos clay is really the specialty of the romance countries not the UK. So Fed had all the advantages.
Not at all. In the UK it rains so much that hard court surfaces are rarely used. Grass is too expensive. So its either clay, or artificial. And many artificial surfaces are sanded up so you can slide on them.
@@Jeremy-f3s I lived in London (in the northern part of Surrey) for 15 years. There is a lot of clay court tennis. I'm not sure if I'd say mainly clay, but definitely a lot. Have a look on google maps and look for the big academies, and larger facilities.
@@bigrobsydney I wasn't saying there would be no clay courts there, I was saying grass would be the predominant training ground especially for the players who come from money and can train on their own private courts. That's what England is known for because it's the last bastion of lawn tennis after Australia went to hard court in the 80s thus leaving Wimbledon as the last lawn tennis championship.
@@Jeremy-f3s I didnt see you saying all of that. For the record, if you look at the total number of people competing from the UK (thats where we started, and then we moved back to Australia), what I can tell you is that the overwhelming majority of tennis players dont com from money. The majority of players are just normal folks. Grass is absolutely not the predominant surface, due to the cost of maintenance, badly it wears out, and how quickly it becomes unplayable due to that wear and tear. Very few private clubs exist that run these courts, and where they do, you find they are only available for a few months of the year, mainly because: 1. The weather is so poor for much of the year that players can only train indoors 2. When the grass season is over, the courts need to be retired from use, and regrown As it stands, due to the weather conditions in the UK (so much rain), clay and artificial clay are popular because they can be used for a much broader operating envelope, and are safer to play on when wet compared to hard courts. I think you have some kind of romantic idea in your head of England = grass. What you may not appreciate is just how bad the weather is, and not every small club can afford the vast costs of maintenance of grass courts.
yeh really humiliating to reach a GS final....come on man. Yeh he got beat badly, but he'd been diagnosed with mononucleosis not long before the tournament and still got to a GS final.
Fun fact: Federer won against opponents with the score 6-0 6-0 in every surface

I remember that. As a Hewitt fan, it was painful to watch, especially because he was so successful against Roger earlier in their rivalry.

@@lynhru6854 Nadal is the King of Clay, no question. I don't think anyone is ever touching 14 Roland Garros titles.
Only a person never doing any sport in his/her life can call this a humiliation.
It's not humiliation but a learning experience. Too bad we didn't see the handshake.

He beat Gaston Gaudio 6-0, 6-0 at the Masters Cup.
And Michael Zverev at Halle 2013

The gap between a top ten player and someone out of the top 200 is STILL huge. I don know what the speaker is talking about, he is COMPLETELY wrong.

People forget that Federer was the second best clay courter of his generation. He *only* lost to Nadal and he’d often take a set off of him too
