Just abot to hear that part of it . Greatest match in my city AO or one of the most heartfelt and crowds applauding. ALL great shots from both sides .

      2017 will forever remain my favorite as my 2 most beloved tennis players have played stellar tennis once again after both being down and out with months of injury in the previous year. When this final became a reality, I was crying like a boy, simply being amazed and happy to see my 2 tennis heroes playing another GS Final. I felt like it was 2007-2008 again. How they have played, dominated, took all the spoils and basically turned back the clock 10 years in 2017, is probably the most beautiful story in tennis history. Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Roland Garros, Halle, Wimbledon, US Open, Laver Cup and them playing doubles for the first time, Beijing, Shanghai. This was Fedal in 2017, which is simply nuts. We were blessed and spoiled like never before in 2017. I cannot wait for Roger to get back once again and I can't wait to see them both at this year's Laver Cup. FEDAL forever!

    The way Roger completely reinvented his game in 2017 at the age of 35 is astonishing. Overall, his ability to effortlessly hit winners and hit THROUGH the court AFTER the ATP slowed all the courts down is simply out of this world.

    • @tcarlaw
      @tcarlaw Год назад +8

      What is exciting now is watching Nadal do the same at the same age and seeing Djokovic almost accomplish a calendar slam at that age. I think the ATP needs to expand draw sizes and the number of tournaments. Not necessarily with players playing more tournaments but allowing players outside the top 32 to regularly compete with such greats. Tennis has a lot more depth with great players playing into their late 30s and I think we would witness more great matches if players had more time to rest between finals and more players had a chance to make longer runs. Instead of paying appearance fees limit the number of events each top 10 player can compete in and spread them over more events with Slams bringing together those top 10 players. The top 256 players are probably closer together than ever before but players outside the top 64 cannot be expected to compete successfully without more tour experience against top 10 players. Look at players like Shapovalov who are ranked in the top 20 but frequently lose after having a bye in the first round. It only takes a few losses like that and they effectively lose a month worth of competition training. Losing after a first-round bye also means a big drop since you receive no ranking points. The only reason for having first-round byes in the ATP is to rest players who played in the final the previous week and to give top players an advantage in later stages of the tournament. Better to have more tournaments and reserve a certain number of draw entries for players losing in early rounds and give players like Nadal and Federer a chance to play a lighter schedule in their later years when they need the rest more than the match experience.

      I wonder why only Federer fans had a need to talk about "Court Speed" ?
      Never heard Nadal's or Djokovic's fans arguing over court speed.
      You guys like to talk about it as if the courts were slower only for him!
      If court speed is really that important then I guess all of Nadal's eight majors win outside of clay ranks higher than any of Federer's win, because he is considered as a GOAT on clay which no matter what era, what generation, has always been the slowest surface.
      Federer was very good on slower surfaces too it's just that he was a better player on the faster surfaces.
      Nadal was asked about the surface speed at Wimbledon and he said eversince he started playing at Wimbledon (2002), he hasn't found any noticeable difference in the surface speed(Murray also said the same). He said may be people wants to talk about it because I won two majors here !
      It's a shame that many Federer's fans use court speed as an excuse to defend his losses especially against Nadal and Djokovic.
      It's nature's rule adapt or get perish !

      The backhand for Roger was a real weapon in this match. It is a pity that most men use the two-handed backhand, which looks like they are chopping wood and although it is more powerful it lacks the control/finesse of a single-handed backhand. All right for women's tennis to use two hands, given the more powerful racquets, but men should have been able to use regular backhand. Then came the sliding on all surfaces....

The other great match by Fed was his win against Nadal in that great Wimbledon semi-final of 2019. Fed won that one in 4 sets, despite an amazing attempt to come back by Nadal in the latter stages of that 4th set.

It is unbelievable what these 2 guys made for the sport I practice and love the most. And now, after Roger retirement announcement few days ago…what a journey! Thanks so much Roger, for what you did, and thanks as well Rafa, for what you will keep doing. I feel so blessed to have witnessed such a greatness. I love you so much guys! ❤️❤️ Greeting from Italy 🇮🇹

Djokovic record breaking and the humbleness he shows after fighting with hostile crowd especially at Australia Open. That speech in french blew me away. Also rising star Carlos Alcaraz being world number 1, carrying the torch with 35-3 seasons record and counting. At the age 20 !
    Excited for the rest of the season. Really hope Nadal can recover and make it more competitive.

Some say "nostalgic" and I can understand that, but for me this is rather new. This match here made me a real fan. Man what a couple of awesome and fair sportsmen. This unbreakable will in Nadal is just as impressive as Federer's backhand. This is tennis from another universe. I always enjoy watching it. 😘

    This is the real comeback for a 35 Yr old (or infact any sportsman for that matter) under very difficult circumstances and this 1 match is enough to prove that he is the greatest ever..
    1. 11-23 h2h against his biggest rival before finals
    2.6 months no match play and coming back after injury
    3. 3 five setters and 1 4 setter en route to his title
    4. Berdych, nishikori, (potentially) Murray, wawrinka and rafa in his draw before start of AO..
    5.Never won against rafa in AO
    6. His (so called) weak backhand especially against rafa
    7. Roger's mental strength is not as good as Rafa
    8.Roger chokes in tight situations
    He defied all the odds against him.. That's true greatness

Not being able to walk having been on crutches to return and win AO against the most in form hard court player being two sets down and 3-4 0-40 down in the 3rd set while going for the historic 21st slam in his weakest GS is beyond imagination. It was something you’d see in a movie and can’t believe it was real.

BTW, roger had to beat a player in AO2017 finals who has caused him all trouble right through his career(11-23 h2h) and who probably has greatest mental strength in our sport.. Medvedev is not even comparable and is known for choking .....Though both comebacks are unique in their own ways, roger's title run is the most greatest and the most difficult one..
