Every time I see RF play I think “that’s how tennis should be played”. He’s so graceful and creative you forget that it’s essentially all out attack. Which is why the fans and players alike will always rate him the highest of the Big 3. Attack is adventure. And adventure is excitement.
Yessir! Well said. Adventurous is just the right word for Fed's tennis...except on BPs and MPs. 😐 But kidding aside, Fed single-handedly created and revealed a new aesthetic for tennis. If a sport (especially an individual sport) is lucky, it gets _one_ incarnation - who embodies the game by being a distillation of an ideal. For tennis, that was the Fed. A never-before-never-again phenomenon.
People always forget this point of how his style of play is so high risk and Djokovic/Nadal basically play the same style of counterpuncher with a little aggression; don’t get me wrong. It takes a massive amount of physical strength to do what they do, but at the end of the day majority of their shots choices are not risky. It’s still amazing what he’s been able to accomplish, and I will always believe his 2017 and 2018 seasons were the best for someone his age.
2017 was Roger’s last great season. He won 2 Grand Slams, 3 Masters 1000, altogether 7 titles, won 92% of all his matches and finished the year at No. 2!
@@andreacava5512 Roger had a good year in 2019 winning 4 titles including another Miami Masters plus reaching the Wimbledon final in that epic battle against Novak. After 2019 Roger didn’t win another title and his career basically ended in November 2019. In 2017, Rafa finished No. 1 by virtue of winning 2 Grand Slams, a final in another and 2 Masters.
@@Max-yp1iw Yes and it was his only tournament in all of 2020. After 2019, Roger didn’t win another title. Roger won at least one title for 18 years! His rival & friend Rafa, has won at least one title for 19 years and in consecutive years!
It's hard to believe! dramatic points from his matches through to final especially against Kyrgios. i did not expected it would be easy against Rafa. It's effortless win Incredible cameback, incredible year from the goat.
Against Rafa surely wasn’t effortless, it was an intense match where he had a bit of luck too on important points on serve (the let courts on 30-40 in the first and on 30-30 in the second) but ultimately won deservedly.
The Kyrios match was one of the most intense matches Roger played in his career, that wasn't a Grand Slam match! Raucous pro-Fed crowd, great shot making/serving, and back-and-forth throughout! Will always remember that epic 3-set classic!
@@edkiely2712 At the end of 2019 it was the atp itself that chose the best match for each year in the 2010s decade (excluding the slams obv). Later this match was chosen as the best one. I think because besides being a beautiful and exciting match it was extraordinarily balanced from the first to the last point.
@@nicolinotaraborrelli9916 Yes it was! I still vividly remember watching it! Matches like that don't happen too often! That Miami crowd gave Nick the business as well! Not like he doesn't bring a bit on himself though. Thanks for the reply my man!🤟
Federer is a specialist in playing against big servers, it is the result of the monstrous sensitivity he has in those hands. It blocks and accurately returns 200+ km/h serves like no other. Since Roddick's days, he has always been a master in this regard.
Federer on his comeback won against Nadal in Australian open, Miami and Wimbledon where he lost to him previously. The way he played at his age is simply genius.
For every RF fun this was absolutely amazing season..🎉 I think that every fan felt like during his prime!! But 2017 was a truly special! How everything change that one step to hit the backhand earlier!!😎 That run at the begging of season + Wimbledon is just beyond belief !❤
The Nick Kyrious match was absolutely epic. I remember the fans booed Kyrious in the tie break which unsettled his mood and helped RF a bit. Also impressive was the Indian Wells run. He would play Nick who just beat Joko, and would be a very tough match but Nick retired.. in all, the whole month of March when he won the sunshine double was a dream for me
It's incredible to think how good Fed was in 2017 even though he was technically 8 years beyond his prime at that point... the freaking GOAT, and I say this as a Serbian!
That SF match vs Kyrgios was an absolute epic, shame about how it ended with the audience calling out Federer destroying Nadal in the final was epic, backed it up nicely after another slaughter of Nadal in the 4th round of Indian Wells the previous tournament.
In 2011,2014,2015,2019 Federer should win atleast one slam considering the level of tennis he played those year....those year nadal wasn't the main issue but novak was.....
@@guillezorro he should have won AO 2014 as well if only he knew how to play Nadal at that time. He would have beaten Wawrinka 100% Also he should have won Uso 2014, he should have beaten Cilic and easily beat Nishikori. Uso 2011 also would have been a possibilty if only he won the match point against Djokovic. Then Wimbledon 2015 as well
It was exciting times to be a Federer fan, 2017-2019. Will always be grateful for Federer that he fought through the surgery and came back to give us some thrilling matches. Managed to dominate Nadal and had pretty even matches witn Djokovic once he came back in the middle of 2018, although Roger lost most of them. The last chapter of the golden era of tennis, the guys started getting injured one after another and as a replacement we got the next gen who know nearly nothing about winning majors.
The GOAT of tennis & greatest champion of all time list: 👑🏆🐐 🇪🇸1) Rafael Nadal. 🇨🇭2) Roger Federer. 🇺🇸3) Pete Sampras. 🇺🇸4) Andre Agassi. 🇸🇪5) Stefan Edberg. 🇦🇺6) Lleyton Hewitt. 🇷🇺7) Marat Safin. 🇸🇪8) Bjorn Borg. 🇩🇪9) Ivan Lendl. 🇺🇸10) Jimmy Connor. 🇯🇵11) ninja warrior.
Nadal is the goat on clay, im pretty sure that Sampras and Federer are better players on grass and fast courts than Nadal. I think Nadal is the player who would make the best character for a movie, Djokovic it's a winning machine, and Federer is the god os this sport because of the way he plays
Will always remember 2017 season, the year Roger truly figured out Rafa's awesome forehand. His neo backhand really annihilated Rafa (outside clay) since then. Too bad for the back injury during Canada open otherwise he would add 2-3 more titles that year including USO where he'd obliterated Rafa again in the Final.😢
If they'd played that year, Fed would have beaten the Djoker. (I think they were twice one match away from meeting.) Not just because of Djoker's slump but because Fed was playing with a _freedom_ that he hadn't felt since 2008 perhaps. He was _resurgent,_ in the true sense of the word. He was on a high and when the Fed's feeling like that, there's little _anybody_ can do to stop him (with the exception of Nadal on clay over 5 sets). It's why Fed was able to go 4-0 against Nadal (on HCs) that year alone.
The most amazing thing about their rivalry is 2017 onwards was the first time I saw an Nadal uncertain of how to win, because he had depended on Roger Federer, making errors, and for the first time those errors on the backend were not happening. This is a massive reason why I’ve always felt Roger Federer was GOAT, unlike the other two, he absolutely has the shot selection and mental aptitude to win and the others to put it in simplest terms. Just keep getting the ball back until you make an error.
Yes, but Djoker being in a slump would've been part of the context of those wins, so it would've been relevant. H2H is circumstantial, as we all know. Nadal losing his speed also helped change the dynamic of the Fedal match-up.
“I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of that in the future.” (Of Kyrgios’ tweener winner) We’ve seen some of it, but sadly Nick has never managed to live up to his potential. Wishing him a quick recovery and a renewed fire to compete! Would be a shame to see one of the entertainers retire so early.
To be honest, with the way Federer plays, I think he has a couple of decent seasons left. But it feels more like that mental fortitude has dipped, more than physical
2017, the only argument left for Federer fans in the GOAT debate, the classic GOAT debate... Those 4 wins on hard against Nadal (who, btw, was just making his comeback to the top level after the extemely tough period between 2015-2016) are also the only reason why Federer leads Nadal in the hard court head to head nowadays. They haven't met on hard since then... Moreover, 2015 win + the 4 wins from 2017 were the only 5-win streak for Federer against Nadal when Nadal had THREE such streaks throughout their rivalry (when both were in their super prime, btw). Also, the final remark. Federer fans don't want to acknowledge 2017 had no real competition for Federer besides Rafa, because Djokovic and Murray were injured and the transition between Old Gen and Next Gen had just started. As soon as the likes of Tsitsipas, Thiem, Rublev, Nadal, Djokovic, Zverev arrived, Federer only won one Grand Slam and his final one: AO 2018. Don't badmouth me for this, I tried to be as respectful as possible, but you have to admit there were special circumstances for Federer's 2017 season. :D
Next gen wouldn’t beat this Federer lol. Wawrinka and nadal were playing at a higher level then any of next generation has and lost to fed. Federer 15 anyways was doing well against Murray, so I don’t know why 17 would struggle. Djokovic Federer would have been fun to watch though. But 2017 Fed in terms of form was way better than the next season. I mean he lost to Millman and Anderson at slams lol. Where as he lost to Del Potro in 2017. Also, you snuck in rublev and tsitsipas like they would have beaten this Fed
@@Divvy21 Lol, you liked your own comment... 🤨 Do I need to remind you Zverev beat Federer in the Montreal 2017 final? Zverev was the first next gen rising star at that time. After 2017, Federer started losing to Zverev, Thiem and Tsitsipas pretty frequently. The Wimbledon 2019 final against Djokovic was the unofficial end of his career, I think many people noticed this. These are actually things that happened, I don't understand why you, fedfans, don't want to accept them, it's unbelievable...
@@tennisradu I actually didn’t like my own comment. Yeah, Federer obviously declined like Nadal is now. He was also 37+ lolol. The only tournaments he played well after 2017 were Paris, Miami, Indian wells, Wimbledon 19, Dubai, some of clay season, atp finals 2019. Federer also beat next some of next gen post 2017 several times. If you think ao 17 Fed is the same as ao 19 Fed In terms of form, then you’re wrong. Next gen got some of their wins when Fed was about to retire. 2015 Fed in fact would also be owning next gen. Fed is also 3/0 against meddy, 2/2 against stefanos despute being almost 2 decades older. If you think next gen would beat this version of Federer, you are wrong. Federer also dealt with a back injury at Montreal which forced him to skip Cincinnati lol
@@Divvy21 Yeah, of course, whenever the discussion becomes a little bit inconvenient to you, his fans, you start using the age factor, of course... Djokovic has 10-2 with Tsitsipas, Nadal has 7-2 against him, are you serious? 🤣 That's a monumental difference between these h2h's and a 2-2 one. Admit it, 2017 is your only argument you can use nowadays... An argument which would've never happened if Rafa had won that fifth set from the AO final or maybe if Federer hadn't taken that medical time out before the deciding set, lol... 🤨
@@tennisradu If Federer played those guys since he was 33 like Nadal and Novak have, the h2h would be similar. He only played those guys when he was mostly 37+ which means he had a much fewer chances to play against them. If you think that 37 is the same as 34 lol, then ur just wrong lol. The fact that you think next gen is better than Federer shows ur bias. I am not even commenting on the goat debate, but I feel ur just not giving credit where it’s due. AO 17 was an earned win. Also, Nadal fans can’t be discrediting ao 17 when djokovic was deported in ao 22. If ao 22 is valid, then ao 5 years ago is valid. The mto was before the 5th set and had no effect on the 5th set.
Greatest year for FEDAL 2022 Grand Slam champion list: 👑🏆🐐 🇪🇸1) Nadal: 2022 Aussie open champion. 🇪🇸2) Nadal: 2022 French open champion. 🇨🇭3) Federer: 2022 Wimbledon champion. 🇨🇭4) Federer: 2022 US open champion.
SF against kyrgios even tho he won but that time kyrgios was actually being mature and not smashing rackets, everything worked for him until the crowd calling out... and federer took three consecutive tiebreaks to win but well done
Poor Berdych. 6-4 serving in the TB. He was a bundle of nerves at that moment. That DF on MP, oy. Federer down 4-6--as cool as the other side of the pillow.
All the way through the match it looked like Kyrgios was gonna take it , experience won out . He played the toughest opponent and did well , close but no cigar .
ATP needs more grass court event then you will see who will be winning...I feel personally they are too much clay court tournaments across the calendar. I think they should divide the tournaments equally according to the surfaces.
I got the feeling roger federer was not the biggest fan of nick. Roger oozed class and nick.. didn't, and that upset nick because of how much of an idol roger was to him
I guarantee 100% & confidence 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) the magician will lift up the Trophy 🏆 2023 🇦🇺 Australian open champion for the record 10th time in history & 22nd major champion is still coming soon in advance 💪!!!

An argument which would've never happened if Rafa had won that fifth set from the AO final or maybe if Federer hadn't taken that medical time out before the deciding set, lol... 🤨
@@tennisradu If Federer played those guys since he was 33 like Nadal and Novak have, the h2h would be similar. He only played those guys when he was mostly 37+ which means he had a much fewer chances to play against them. If you think that 37 is the same as 34 lol, then ur just wrong lol. The fact that you think next gen is better than Federer shows ur bias. I am not even commenting on the goat debate, but I feel ur just not giving credit where it’s due. AO 17 was an earned win. Also, Nadal fans can’t be discrediting ao 17 when djokovic was deported in ao 22. If ao 22 is valid, then ao 5 years ago is valid. The mto was before the 5th set and had no effect on the 5th set.
I'm going to miss that guy

😊Fedal the best Player all time
I was today-years-old when I found out Roger was down 2 match points in his match against Berdych.
Really epic title
SUNSHINE DOUBLE !!!
Such a tough draw
The universe did answer our prayers in 2017
What game was with Nick K.
SF against kyrgios even tho he won but that time kyrgios was actually being mature and not smashing rackets, everything worked for him until the crowd calling out... and federer took three consecutive tiebreaks to win but well done
Poor Berdych. 6-4 serving in the TB. He was a bundle of nerves at that moment. That DF on MP, oy. Federer down 4-6--as cool as the other side of the pillow.
Why was there so much green in this video 😂
I loved his AO and Miami run but hated those Nike jerseys
It kinda spoils the fun
7:55 How is that block even possible?
the 60fps makes fed raquect look like a light saber, phew phew phew
All the way through the match it looked like Kyrgios was gonna take it , experience won out . He played the toughest opponent and did well , close but no cigar .
King Federer

the views and likes are not quite simultaneous... About you I saw that you were UTR10 💪 you don't compete anymore?
ATP needs more grass court event then you will see who will be winning...I feel personally they are too much clay court tournaments across the calendar. I think they should divide the tournaments equally according to the surfaces.
No filler in this run, only Tiafoe who is not a top ten player at some point.
I got the feeling roger federer was not the biggest fan of nick. Roger oozed class and nick.. didn't, and that upset nick because of how much of an idol roger was to him
Rip Kyrgios. Made it to a masters semi which he had a solid chance of winning and got stopped by giga fed
Why is the audience booing?
I guarantee 100% & confidence 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) the magician will lift up the Trophy 🏆 2023 🇦🇺 Australian open champion for the record 10th time in history & 22nd major champion is still coming soon in advance 💪!!! Mark my word and Vamos Roger!!! Perfection and Cheers to the Swiss Maestro!!! 🇨🇭🏆🐐🎾
