For me, he is the greatest men's player in my lifetime of 72 years. He raised the bar the way the Williams sisters did on the women's side. Nadal and Djokovic had to get better to be able to beat Federer. No one I've ever watched had a mind for the game like Federer. His shot-making alone is extraordinary. His matches are the only tennis player's matches I'll rewatch and rewatch and rewatch on RUclips. I miss him so much. But hope he enjoys life after tennis. He was the greatest ambassador for tennis ever--his conduct, professionalism and respect for the game were all top flight.
🎯 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fed is tennis incarnate and the greatest player who'll ever live and his game is tennis's fulfillment. How lucky we are that he played in the time of (mostly) high-quality video.
I agree with the title 100%......but we shouldn't even look for somebody like Fed....he was that great....he was kind of a gift for us tennis fans that wanted to see somebody who has all the shots,all the strategic genius, then the entertainment factor and down to earth enough to be the favorite everywhere he showed up to play....there was only one Roger Federer...
"The one handed backhand is weaker than the two handed backhand", yet Wawrinka and Federer were consistently top 10 players, blowing through double handed players left and right. You can't get some of the amazing shots with a two handed backhand that you got from Federer and Wawrinka. Tsitsipas being the top back handed player is good, but nowhere near their levels.
Dominic Thiem also had a good one too, but now he is gone unfortunately. I watched Gasquet at the US open recently. He also had some spicy backhands. But there's no doubt the modern game is dominated by two handers.
Sinner and Alcaraz both have adopted aggressive playing style, and ive seen federer in alcaraz when he plays on grass court. no surprise if he wins 5 consequtive wimbledon and RG at this point.
Ja leider werden wir Roger so nie mehr sehen, aber es gibt Weitere grosse Talente, die sehenswert sind. Federer hat es jedoch auch geschafft die Leute mit seiner Art zu begeistern, für Sie ein Vorblid zu sein. Er ist ein so grossartiger Mensch, Vorbild, Persönlichkeit und war und ist ein Glücksfall für den Tennissport und für die Schweiz. So wie er unser Land representiert hat, hätte das Niemand sonst geschafft. Also nochmals Danke Roger, Gruss vom Schweizer. !
Thanks RTT for the clip and to you other fans for the comments. I'm happy that Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is carrying the one-handed backhand flame today, along with Musetti and of course DImitrov who is still in the Top 10. GMP is up and coming and just rips his backhand, so if you're "nostalgic" for the 1HB, check out his matches.
The best of all time IMO. If Fed was 6 years younger there is no doubt that he would be the all time slams leader. Joker being 6 years younger had a distinct advantage. 6 Years in tennis is a lot. Fed didn't have many injuries but the Mono and back and knee injuries definitely set him back. Love Fed. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM. NEVER.
WORLDS ABSOLUTE BEST! So Suave, Clean, Beautiful, Talented, Humble & Respectful~🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽. I Absolutely Love Roger~🙏🏽~ I Miss Him Dearly~ No One Can Ever Replicate His Talents….No One~🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
Wow, I miss Federer. I got into playing tennis around 2001 when Fed was just becoming so great. I always loved the look of a one handed backhand and always gravitated to players who used the shot. You can now argue that Djoko is the GOAT but Federer is my favorite player of all time easily and certainly had the most aesthetically pleasing game of all time. Was fortunate enough to see him play several times in Cincinnati.
People don't realize HOW DIFFICULT is to be a father for 4 kids and a husband and a top player particularly in your 30s! Nobody ever talks about that... He could have won several more easily if it wasn't because family was number 1..
The GOAT ❤ et ne me parlez pas du nombre de GS 😉 pour moi c'est le joueur de tennis le plus talentueux, un QI tennistique incroyable ! c'est le jeu le plus beau à voir, c'est l'élégance même
@@mr.nobody3492 After Djokovic, definitely, but Federer is greater than Nadal. Nadal's numbers are smoke and mirrors; he isn't competitive on grass or hard, only on clay. Watch Goatkovic's video, "Federer Is Greater Than Nadal".
The younger Federer was the more evident his strokes were influenced by his idol Sampras. Lower racquet ready position especially, more fluid classic takeback, no windshield wiper forehand, less violent whip on both sides. Reminds us how Sampras was his idol, not his rival and Federer himself admitted he never lived and played with the reason in mind to break Sampras’ record. Unlike Novak who admitted his goal was to win the most slams. That Federer achieved 20 grand slams without such goals and just 14 slams as a target speaks for his immense talent, skill, and greatness. Like everything else about the big 3 Roger the king of the court, not just the baseline, did and accomplished many more things the other 2 WON’T EVEN DREAM OF DOING LET ALONE TRY while winning matches against both even well past his prime.
As nearly impossible as it would be to emulate Federer, let's not give up. Maybe some kid will use Roger as a template to model their game and character
Let’s hope. But it was his reflexes and hand eye coordination and most of all intelligent play that made the difference that maybe difficult to emulate, I think
I’m waiting for tennis to grow large enough including commercially, enough that the best of U.S. athletes choose tennis and not only basketball, baseball, football or even golf where all the men’s sports money resides. Maybe someday we’ll see a 6’ 6” or even bigger, faster, skilled and athletic Jordan-like, Magic-like, Lebron-like tennis player with a Federer-like powerful all-court game. I would like to see how today’s defensive baseline players avoid getting devoured by this velociraptor on a tennis court. When Tiger Woods, an elite athlete, arrived and this happened in golf and he destroyed Augusta National Golf course at the ‘97 Masters they soon added rough and lengthened the course. Many other golf courses could not be lengthened and were rendered useless for professional golf. Again I’m curious and waiting to see results if/when someone/something similar would happen with the limited confines of a tennis court.
"The hair?" Hehehehehehe... For my money, the true genius of Roger is his footwork, movement and balance that make those shots possible. You could erase the racket in his hand and I'd still watch Roger highlights videos.
Will someone explain: The standard comment to a dropshot is on the lines of clever, nicely done, brilliant and so on, whilst the type of shot at 2:17 is generally just called cheeky, as if almost immoral. Both do generally the same thing - leading the opponent on by disguising the shot selection for the longest time. Same thing with under-arm serve - it's a good tool to use, sparingly, to keep your opponent guessing.
Truly the best tennis player of all time His skill set is and will be unmatched But he was too good God saw his creation and decided it was too perfect, too complete, too unbeatable ... and so he created a kryptonite, and when one wasnt enough he created a second one And when Roger asked God why he was being so heartlessand and cruel God told him not to worry because although those two kryptonites would achieve more God would make sure that neither had superior tennis skills so that Roger would remain and forever be ... the best tennis player of all time
Will never see it again because fed's game was sqaush...Fed was over rated only winning 33% of his GS matches agaisnt Ndal/djoki..50% of fedsqash titles were on the B circuit 250/500..Nadal never lossed at French final, djoki never lossed Aussie finals..Fed lossed 4 times on his supposed best surface in finals to djoki/nadal at wimbledon..Fed had a weak backhand, weak mentally and never evolved his sqaush game just depended on the crowds to get him through who drank the marketiing koolaid
te refieres a un reves tan debil que nadal le gano 10 GS jugandole solo al reves???? o te refieres a los multiples GS ganados a jugadores de segunda como gonzalez o roddick ???? o te refieres al 3-0 que Djokovic le propino en wimbledon 2014, 2015 y 2019 por su mente debil??? sin duda no volveremos a ver a un jugador proclamado ¨EL MEJOR DE LA HISTORIA¨ pero que no fue el mejor de su epoca jajaja ridiculo solo para fanaticas.

@@NCinNYC Exactly how I feel about it, that, and he got his revenge against Nadal in the AO 2017
His one-handed backhand was the most beautiful thing to see. These are wonderful clips. He is the GOAT ❤
The best, the artist, the genius, miss you Roger.
Miss him a lot!
On top of it he is a very faithful.family man. I.mean you cannot be better than that. Mirka & 4 kids is very lucky.❤🙏🏾

One of the most graceful athletes of all time
For sure 🙌🏼

@@CPA003 Good points
And the other 7-8 players in that top 10 had double-handers… what are you talking about?🤣
A one handed backhand is more powerful. It is just more difficult to defend with it. You need a lot of anticipation !@@RogerThatTennis
Every shot in the book plus many more that were unique to him, Federer simply played the game on a different level to everyone else.
I praise compilations like this one, but never the less it makes me cry thinking we never see this again..............................................
It hurts brother 🥹

t's such a beautiful sight, it gives me goose bumps. It's like art, so creative, so much fun.
Swiss Maestro was an artist on the court

Una leyenda el man
Pure Quality.

A moment of silence for those who won't get to 7:18 and watch the sequence of one handed backhands
Those were great man!

So true.
Great video. Thank you.

Today we listen to Chopin and Bach etc. in 100 years we’ll be watching Roger Federer! 🎾🍾❤️ PS Thank you!
He’s admired not only by his talent, but also by his gracefulness, and virtue. Be persistent, you can be great as Roger too, in God’s eye
Agree.
That's what sets him apart.

And Federer hardly ever sweated. That’s how cool he was. Granted, against Nadal on clay he did sweat a little 😎👍

Federer is the best
Roger u miss one player from India.
sometimes Dojo just knows he is going to lose, usually when he he is so frustrated.

If Djokovic and Nadal were banned from double fisted play, they would be no match to Federrer.❤
Was Roger konnte, kann Sinner auch. Bitte nicht so übertreiben.

hmm he is really brilliant but sorry Djokovic is the King of Kings in Tennis and noone ever will be like him again.
I love Tennis and Rodger but, the new crop of players are truly better
We agree to disagree brother 😂
You sound like someone who started watching tennis yesterday

No he didn't
Hahaha si no es un jugador cualquiera
