Well compared to the history of the planet then Roger Federer is an infant. Seriously, in today's day and age with advances in physiotherapy & recovery & strength training & stretching etc, provided that there are no major injuries and the desire is still there, why can't men & women keep in top competitive shape into their 40's and play at the top of the game? It's time we changed the rules and our mindsets of who is too old blah blah to compete and stop giving these athletes a hard time about their age.
@Goran Matulovic Because of societal conditioning. We are taught by society that they older we get then it is accompanied by physical decline. This may be true for athletes but I have a suspicion is more to do with wanning desire by the athelete to do whatever it takes to keep at top physical condition as their body moves through space more and more. However the age card is a taught conditioned response because we look at the obvious 'differences' between the winning and losing athlete.
All I’m saying is that it is very surprising for a 37 (almost 38) year old winning against players that are almost 20 years younger than him, that just proves how he has been able to create a playstyle that doesn’t take a big toll on his body.
He is a super-human indeed... at 38 yo beating players almost half his age is just unbelievable for a normal human being. He along with Nadal and Nole are truly blessed. We should be proud of being alive at the same time as these great persons.
@@rksleung Nole will play until he is 40. So Alcaraz and co. will have to wait at least another 4 years until they can start claiming Grand Slam titles without any of the big 3 having to say something about it. I am afraid Rafa is done, but who knows...He might come back for one more Roland Garros. To say goodbye.
Federer is 38yo at this time, and he is beating with no mercy Casper Ruud wich is a futur Top 2, and multiple finalist in Grand Slam. Thats why the Big 3 is legendary, they were the best at a young age, and the best at an old age.
@Ethan istanforCBE nadal raises his clay game to an insane level at rg when facing his biggest rivals like thiem he got destroyed by rafa back to back at rg i think rog will lose to stan or lose to nadal in 4 sets
@Ethan istanforCBE ye i fully agree its just adds to his goat status of been the 2nd greatest clay court player without nadal fed would have more rgs than borg but if fed loses to nadal tha 'adaltard djokotard fans will be trying to down him
SIMPLY PUT :: I just really enjoy watching this guy Roger when playing tennis. :) Poetry in motion. Magnifique. :) God bless him and us with 2nd RG title.
I've been able to watch him for so many spring workouts on the courts of my Zurich Grasshoppers Club, fascinating. What is most amazing about him (apart from the way he turns tennis into an art form) is the man's modesty...
incredible for his age. Although at the end you can see he looks a bit worn, or maybe relieved that its over. Each hard fought win takes a toll at this age
…i miss the type of tennis that Federer produced…his change of direction with the ball is like the flow of water…effortless…eloquent and powerful…long live the Maestro of the Artistic Tennis game…♥️u and miss you Roger…🥹♥️🌹
Maybe as the rounds progress there will be longer highlights since there will be fewer matches to cover. After all it might just be one guy/girl doing all of these.
I'm a hardcore Rafa fan, but I'm really glad to see roger play. Hes done so much for tennis already, and at 38 and still kicking ass! When both he and Rafa finally retire the game just won't be the same anymore.
@@Dayumhesgood And he didn't manage to surpass nadal. Not even djokovic manage to win against Nadal in those year, and all three were at the best. So I think that Nadal between 2010 to 2014 will be remembered as the strongest player of all time on clay, in the past and in the future.
Even though Ruud couldn't offer too much resistance, this was still a strong match from Federer. One thing I think was really smart was how Federer started really attacking with his backhand, even when he was out of position and would normally have sliced the ball. Instead, he kept trying to belt the ball with top-spin and rediscover his form on the backhand side. A stroke of genius I think, especially if he is going to end up facing Nadal. Federer has had the wood on Nadal in their recent meetings and a big part of that has been his willingness to step in and attack with his backhand. Even though he made a few errors, it looked like he was practising, knowing that this is what it is going to take to win the tournament. I really like what I'm seeing from Federer so far. Makes me wonder why he didn't come to Roland-Garros last year when he was in even better form.
connorism69 I thought I was the only one who observed it too. Roger is playing some really strategic tennis, saving energy and very calculated on shot selection. I also noticed what you said about the BH, he seems to be coming into the net with it a lot- practice for what is ahead certainly. His FH has been so impressive in the last 3 months and in this tournament I love that he is able to maintain the Baseline rallies and win points from there without sacrificing his position. He is quietly cleaning out his opponents. All eyes are on Nadal and Novak. I hope he gets to play Tsitsipas here again and reach the SF.
I agree, however I would argue that Federer is has played better in 2019, hitting the ball with more authority than he did in the early part of 2018. He won the AO and Rotterdam last year without being pushed much and then he wasn't great in IW or Miami. This year he played well against Tsitsipas in AO and he's made 3 finals since, winning 2 of them. He is definitely capable of making the semis in FO, it's been great seeing him back on clay. But he would need to play perfect aggressive tennis on the forehand and backhand side if he wants to stand a chance against Nadal.
Because of his FO losses to Rafael, Roger never received the full credit for his spectacular play on the red dirt. He was always the Maestro of Goats...I have been so spoiled 😢
I was fortunate to watch Roger courtside at many tennis events, it was truly majestic and unbelievable! One particular match that was so amazing to watch was Federer versus Mannarino US Open 2013 night match 🌃🎾 (6-3 6-0 6-2) it was so electric! I remember Mannarino looking at his box and saying “I can’t do anything!” Lol! 🎾💥
no. he would be outside the top 5 for sure. He had a bad record against new gens like zverev tsitsipas and thiem. only against meddy he had good record but meddy was not as good during the time roger beat him
Completely true. The fact that he is achieving this at almost 38 is remarkable. I don’t think any player will be able to achieve this level of play this late in his career ever
As a Nole fan. I agree. He is the best ever in terms of quality and records. Would’ve been awesome to see how Novak competed in the Roger era. I am honest enough to admit that Roger would probably win though
This forehand has got to be the prettiest shot in all sports combined. Looking forward to the farewell tour when you return Champ. #teamfedex #goatnomatterwhat

Casper Ruud has really advanced himself. Now, right before the 2021 French Open he is one of the 5 Favorites to win!
I get recommended this after Ruud is now in the final, nice RG
Always a packed stadium no matter who the great maestro plays!
I was there on last saturday and saw his training...suzanne langlen court was packed as well.
Well Ruud has now just played in the french open final so it was great practice for him.
Casper Ruud is now 2 times RG finalist
After 2 rounds we had incredible 3 min HL..... Merci beaucoup RG officiel
