It was unusually cool and cloudy in the desert that weekend. He was actually a bit under the weather but was able to beat Nadal in 2 after losing to him in the semis at Australia.

Y quién decide al más grande son los aficionados. En el mundo entero y por lo tanto en México eres un ídolo. Gracias Roger Federer por hacer del tenis un deporte importante de verdad gracias
The time when federer was playing with that toothpick of a racket. Its incredible that he won so many grandslams with such a major disadvantage, during his peak years. The difference in power when he switched to a larger one in aus 2017 is so blatantly evident
That s his problem if he doesn't know what kind of racket is better for him. Also it's easy to be smart now how come no one noticed he should change racket back then. You are only saying it when he actually changed to bigger racket and you can compare the difference.
@@draganduga2781 It was always known but it was difficult for him to make the transition, because he came up in a time where the courts where much faster and maneuverability was more important than slugging the ball senseless. Bjorn Borg had the same issue when he couldnt switch from the wooden racket. It was the genius of federer that he dominated the fast court era and stayed a dominant force even when it slowed down. By 2010, it became impossible to compete in the tv friendly slow courts with the old tool.
I agree but just FYI , he made the racquet switch in 2014 .. He just got more n more comfortable as the years went by and by 2017 he had Full control.. He even admitted this in the 2014-15 wimby finals when asked why he didn't slice like he used to against djoko, he said he doesn't have the feel on the new racquet for the slice yet.. Imagine his bread n butter shot
@@draganduga2781 These homogenised slowed-down courts and modern racquets and strings have taken away from tennis as much as they've given. Different playing styles on different surfaces, variety,touch, feel, flair, invention and artistry have all but gone from tennis to be replaced by baseline grinding bores like Djokovic and muscled-up baseline ball-bashers like Nadal, Del Potro and S. Williams. As Sampras said: "Variety has gone from the game, now it's all about who can hit hardest from the baseline."
2012 was not a good year for Rafa ... Backhand error in fifth set of AO final costed him the trophy and here the second last point was very much like him untill the end.
A pity Rafa pulled out of their match in IW 2019. Fed would have won and their h2h would be more even at 23 16, overall, and 14 10 to Fed on non clay. Rafa's last wins over Fed occcured in 2013, and in the Australian open 2014, when he was adjusting to the new racquet, after an injury hit 2013, and experimenting with racquets.
Lol. What a lame and sorry ass excuse! Nadal has been dominating Federer since their rivalry began in 2004. In fact, he won 6 of his first 7 matches against Federer. And that included 5 straight victories. And from that onwards, Nadal had continued to dominate their h2h rivalry. Was Federer adjusting to "the new racquet, after an injury" back then? And Federer has even pointed out that part of the reason for his better success against Nadal (in recent years) is because Nadal isn't playing quite like he did back then. And so, what you stated is complete bs!
@Siva Kumar Kakara Well, that most of their early matchups were on clay is true. However, 3 of their first 4 matches took place on hard courts. And Nadal won 2 (including their very first). And Nadal also held a lead on hardcourts, prior to Federer winning their last 5 matches on the surface (which helped him gain the lead). Even so, they are still very close on hard courts. And I think Nadal was also on pace to record more HC slams than Federer (at least based upon age). But injuries played a huge role in slowing him down.
@Siva Kumar Kakara Nadal has beaten Federer 3 times in Australian Open and once in Wimbledon. Also in Cincinati and WTF finals, as well as in Indian Wells, Dubai, Miami and basically everywhere they've played on hard and grass. Not the same story for Federer on clay vs Nadal.
Federer should have never won a match against Rafa with that backhand. When a mismatch like this happens, the h2h should by all means be 20-3 in favor of the guy with the advantage. Think of big-3 vs Wawrinka. Total one sided. That Federer managed to beat Rafa with that unsure one-handed backhand and their h2h was 23 vs 10 before the racket switch speaks volumes to his talent. In all honesty, it should have been 23-4 in Rafa's favor to account for bad days for Rafa. But since that racket switch, it's been a different story. One wonders how different their rivalry would have been had Federer adopted a bigger racket all the way back in 2007. Would Rafa have had his amazing 2008-2009 where he beat Fed at the FO, Wimbledon and AO? Would Fed have had an earlier 2017 and for a longer duration? Things we'll never know.
@@martydav9475 Just try to understand I am also a huge fan of Nadal,but the fact is that he won US Open because Djoko and Federer had lost early.Djoko is master of hard courts and has best return in game now.Nadal waits for too long before going for a winner.He doesn't hit the ball deep as other players hit.
I know Federer is a great player. But you can’t help but notice his a CHOKER! hahaha Man This man ain’t GOAT. Al titles won because of the era he played, during his golden era he got beaten by 18 year Nadal and 20 year old Nole. Man, he can only defeat Rodick for fucking sake
