@@sonquatsch8585 im a fed fan, you clearly havent watched alcaraz at all, the only thing he is lacking is a killer serve, but federer lacked mental strength in critical situations
When Roger played even more agressive than usual and had "it" that day, noone had a chance on a fast surface. because he took away so much time for his opponent, when he took balls that early. the pressure was insane.
@@brunofernandez2906all those matches roger made lot of errors which novak capitalized as usual..novak's win/loss depends on roger's unforced errors count
@goderer2057 Federer beat him three times in 2015, and played at a high level even when he lost in the same year. At 38 years old nearly, federer almost won wimbledon having to face nadal in semifinal and djokovic in the final. He lost to djokovic but on the razor edge in that final.
I like your editing a lot, shows a real understanding of tennis. You keep the handshake at the net, which is super nice. You keep the double faults in pressure moments, which also show the effect of Federer's aggresiveness on the return. You keep some of the opponents' best shots and winners as well. Thank you your videos are top notch
The true genius of Roger? Variety of shot and movement. Watching men's tennis these days really drives that home for me. I knew it 20 years ago, but watching some these men's US Open matches is like watching a game of old school computer pong. I was watching the Medvedev\Sinner match and screaming, "Move your damned feet!" at BOTH guys. Ugh. So many flat footed shots in that match...
Exactly. I am watching the ATP finals, in these days: all players play the same way. The majority of the points they do are not winners by opponents' mistakes (i.e. ball in the net or too long a shot). Sometimes they even miss the basics of sportmanship because when the opponents makes a mistake they even dare to raise their punch in the air as if they have won the point by themselves.
This is the year when Federer finally started playing with a 97 inch racquet. It completely skyrocketed his game. One can only wonder what would have happened if he wasn't playing with a 90 for the previous 12 years.
@@vijayendranvijay4538Cincinnati was rogers favorite especially where he played quick aggressive tennis on a fast court..it took one bsd match in 2018 to lose to djokovic
That’s the same thing folks said about Sampras and Agassi retiring. And before that it was McEnroe and Connors. As much as we love RF. No one is bigger than the game. Someone else will come along. Hopefully soon. Cause for right now tennis is almost completely unwatchable
@MrPernell27 Right. The best players today are mainly thinking of hitting the ball violently and the game nearly always ends up with the ball in the net or too long
His level on this tournament is ridiculous. Tell me whatever you want, no other player has or had such a variety and so much ability to achieve impossible shots in a smooth, casual way.
2014-Australian Open 2016 was the prototype of what Federer would have become in 2017 to 2018. Just the Neo backhand wasn't there but it started to show up in some cases.
I mean he was playing in his home country and the courts were so fast, he wanted to put on a show no doubt. Beautiful tennis! The level of tennis he played against Nadal, oh my lord lol 😮
12 finals in a by 2015 and 10 in a row! Ya its not debatable. Still just like Novak and Rafa can compete and win a few from him under these conditions. Just like Roger was just barely the inferior player to Rafa on clay. The gap looks bigger in results than in the actual matches.
@@ryaniam22 Federer is a great clay player, but he is not 'barely' the inferior player to Rafa on clay. Djokovic is closer to Nadal than Federer on clay, but there's no way he isn't 2-3 levels below Nadal on the dirt.
It’s proto neo backhand. Neo backhand was much more confident. Get inside the baseline, stand tall and deliver with confidence. This backhand is still not there.
@@Sven_Guitar I think so. For example, in Wimbledon 2019 he beat Rafa in the semi and 2 MP against DJoker in the final. Had excellent backhands. If he had beaten Rafa and Djoker back 2 back at the age of 38, he would probably be undisputed goat. I think God was jealous so he threw Fed under the bus with some nasty bad luck haha.
@@ArnHaz Thank you again, I really like his 2019 matches (and backhands)! Yes, even Boris admitted that Fed was the better player in this final against Nole... How fit Roger was at this age! Even at his last Wimbledon (with just one leg) he did some superb shots! He is the Goat, in my opinion!
@@Sven_Guitar if goat is defined as the number of slams, then he is not. But there is more to tennis than numbers. It is also about giving spectators joy through playing tennis.

That final made me believe in something else for what he could do. Didn't know it meant 2017's success, but there was belief

Federer on full-offensive was one of the most dominant thing seen in tennis
This video is a great example of that suffocating feeling Roger's opponents always remark.
Federer, a magical piece of art. Missing Roger's tour presence, but Raz, you're making us relive those years of excellence. Thanks Raz!! 👍👍🙏🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
We will be lucky to see a more complete player again in our lifetime. FedEx is definitely a once in a century player.
Probably Alcaraz

ONE & ONLY ROGERRRRRRR Fantastyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Roger's shotmaking was so exciting to watch. It was not just grinding down the opponent, but actually beating him with sheer brilliance.
He's sharp as a tack throughout. Keep them coming Raz, the summaries of a tournament are great. 4K views in 1 day, I'd like to know all these people!
Thanks for posting this, RF - what a legend 😮
Nadal was trash all year, then out of nowhere played great against him. Thank God he won that one.
Fed's own mistakes cost him that break in the 2nd set. Otherwise he was the dominant player throughout.

Liked before even watching
federer inside out shots are the best
Genius only comes around very infrequently. Lucky to have lived during this era and watched Feds live.
What the TV doesn't show is his wrist work at contact
Best backhand of all times. Period.
His backhand was his biggest weakness, wdym lmao

Magic tournament from Roger !
Never seen Federer play this aggressive on a hard court before

He was playing like he was double-parked
So like every other week he played on tour in his career... :)
Federer to Kukushkin: "How dare you not to get a bagel?"
How did Kohlschreiber never entered the Top 10? Unbelievable Player...
Very underrated… Really liked his style of play
2014-Australian Open 2016 was the prototype of what Federer would have become in 2017 to 2018. Just the Neo backhand wasn't there but it started to show up in some cases.
There is a reason why he suddenly amased 3 slams in that period and then stopped immediately.
Rf is tennis!
Kohl* you have great skills... may be better than RF but may be not that perfection
I mean he was playing in his home country and the courts were so fast, he wanted to put on a show no doubt. Beautiful tennis!

what the hell was that volley at 5:31...my god
Sadly, we may never see this kind of attacking, all-court tennis again.
However much people like the goat debate, it's pretty uncontroversial to say that RF is the fast court GOAT.

Yes. He had a good game. Very underrated and fun to watch. Of course most one handers often are. Maybe because it's rare now.
@franks2910 yeh I won a fair bit of coin over the years betting on phillip
At first glance, thought it was Bob Mortimer at 12:44
Federer was 34 here????? insane movement
My toxic trait is thinking I have the speed and skillset to play this aggressive style of tennis in my next match and succeed 🤣
Playing for/on his country?! Understandable
Ahora pueden ver a quien imita alcaraz? Pues al maestro roger
Pete Sampras would be proud
Rafa was world No.7 vs Roger world No.3 in this tournament,Roger was in much better shape than Rafa in 2015
Nadal only won 1 indoor title in his career. Federer won many. Their head to head would have been very different if they'd play more indoors.
That's assuming Nadal could make it to the finals end of the tournament!

The saber is a terrifying maneuver. The man changed the game with this.
its literally been around since the open era..its called chip and charge and was done by every S&V player.
