Everytime B.B speaks out he never misses the point. I don´t care what others opinion on him is. Relating to the sport he is the profoundest of them all. Just to point out, I´m no german!
I agree with you! Even I russian. Boris speak always very interesting point of view.
Boris is great I always enjoy his comments.
Dont know, if Federer is the Goat - but for me, he is a perfect Söortsman - on and off the court. He gave me many exxiting hours on TV with his Elegance in playing.
GOAT
Federer is a phony. He definitely isn't as nice as he seems.
@@Revolver1981 He is mobbed wherever he goes and always has time for fans. Watch the ESPN segment on the girl with cancer in the Make a Wish segment. He was supposed to do a meet and greet and it turned into an all-day event with her. I don't believe what Federer does is any way an act.
@@Revolver1981 Did you invite him to your birthday party and he didnt show up? What a jackass!
It's great to see Boris play Boris all the time. He's good at that.
The passing of time... Man, now I'm feeling old this birthday... I used to watch his games back in the days!
"ultimately the love for the game" good point there.
un campeon del tenis...lo he visto en 1989 en mi infancia..un gran tenista...jose de paraguay
Boris is the GOAT BAR NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAIL VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!
He is looking perfect, perfect styling simple yet effective
probably the best analyst. he def knows what's going on!
WOW his English has gotten so good.
Everything is a question of time. Funny comment! SMILE! But FEDERER and Nadal, both are immortal!
But the calendar is also longer than the '90,s and 80's!! Tennis has grown to heights in popularity such that the demand has created more tournaments world-wide!!
Tennis was most popular in the 70's And 80's. The tennis boom, it's not that popular now.
considering it less tournaments and matches, and no more masters 1000 5 set (all the finals was a 5 set), its more demanding cause raquets and surfaces, and better physical training
Don't know how old you are but in the 70s,80s and part of the 90s tennis was from January to December........
xman4un: You got that exactly backwards.
haven: You're probably right. It's like a vacuum has been created, being filled by mostly European countries now.
People need to stop with this myth that Rafa's style is somehow more physical than anybody else's. Guys like Federer, Djokovic, etc, have put just as many miles on their legs as Rafa, with just as many swings of the racket. EVERY professional tennis player begins to break down in their late 20's and early 30's. Which is why it's INSANE what Roger has done. He was already the greatest of all-time, but then to have the type of comeback that even Ali or Jordan couldn't have just puts him in a league of his own.
Rafa hurts himself with all of the wasted extra movement and effort. His silly rituals are a part of that.
Let's compare the following:
Between points, Roger stands and lets the ball kids toss the balls to him, or bring him his towel.
Between points, Rafa walks all the way over to the ball kids to get the ball and/or his towel.
Between points, Roger moves the racket to his off-hand so his primary one isn't always carrying or gripping the racket.
Between points, Rafa keeps the racket in his left hand.
Between points and games, Roger uses very little movement and what he does is relaxed.
Between points and games, Rafa walks a specific path to cross the T at the baseline, around it if necessary, shuffles his stupid water bottles around a certain way, etc.
Before the serve, Roger bounces the ball between 3-5 times and moves right into his service motion.
Before the serve, Rafa bounces the ball 20+ times which leaves him bent over longer. This is harder on his back over time.
When chasing the ball, Roger uses smooth, gliding steps to get into position.
When chasing the ball, Rafa uses dozens of short, abrupt steps. While equally good for getting into position, this creates hundreds of high impact jolts on the ankles and knees during a match.
Roger tends to keep a very loose grip on the racket, frequently rolling it around in his hands.
Rafa has a death's vice grip on the racket almost at all times leading to all his blisters and taped up fingers.
This isn't about his style of play. His buggy whip swing, his grunting, his sliding, his explosive sprints all over the court...those aren't hurting him as much as all of the worthless ticks and rituals.
While some of it is genetics, habits, etc, all of these little things add up to breaking Rafa's body down all the time. His PED use from 2008-2011 notwithstanding, he's hurting himself with all of the ritualistic ticks that keep him focused. Roger is not only the better, more complete player - he's also doing literally all of the little things to better protect his body.
specially the annoying grunts... ugh so painful to the ears!
Its almost as if they're two different human beings.
Nadal's game was definitely much more physical than the others for a big part of his career. He didn't have the technique ( of Federer or Djokovic or of the top 1-3 level I mean) but had the physicality. Would always get to the ball and return it with power and strength (but at quite safe places on the court) And ventually he also built the technique and became super-sayan, supertop at technique.
Might mention Rafa in the title, too, since Becker is talking about both of them.
PEDs have gotten a lot better and more precise over the years as well (not to mention almost impossible to detect)
Thank you, I've been highly suspicious of this for the longtime as the careers continue to be extended.
i don't understand the hatred to this guy
Well, if you meet him in person you would know. He is two faced. Treats the upper echelon people of his sport with respect. However, if you, for example, just being a regular person, were to attempt to start a conversation with him......he would be aloof, dismissive and abrupt. In other words, to him you are a nobody and he has no time for you. That's Boris's problem.
Obviously he's not praising "their favourite" enough. Very hard to get fans to be objective. Basic human nature is "me first" and subjective. Becker is obviously trying to be objective.
Boris. Is. Legeng. & top .class. Coach. Brilliant. Man
Very good!
Boris looks pretty rough here, like he is sleep deprived and has been drinking heavily. I wish him the best of luck for the future and hope he sorts his life out.
I keep laughing at how he says "Wombledun" to Wimbledon
Well spoken Boris........! Sense..... - For those who have a problem... they should change to mountain climbing or desert wandering...
He forgot Alcaraz
Good story
Boris "Party-Hard" Becker
Look at the grand slam tally of Federer you will just faint of severe heart burn...he's certainly gonna take it to May be 27. ..28...may be thirty...he's jealous of Roger Federer's success
Nah, dude, I don't think so.
Boris has always said that Fed is the Greatest Of All Time, even when he coached Novak.
www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Roger_Federer/19064/boris-becker-roger-federer-is-the-goat-he-showed-it-again-/
"I can't praise him enough." That sounds real jealous.
Is painful to see how low the tennis level is now, reason why fed is where he is now. Nadal, Djockovic and Murray tennis miss you so much.
boo ho ho...
Age didn't treat Boris very kindly. He looks like he has lived life to the fullest.
Well, you just live once, aren't you??
Check his private history. It seems he has...
Why did Boris say "Marin Djokovic" instead of Novak Djokovic?
Chris71319 He said Murray and Djokovic.
Revolver ok because at 0:33 it seems that he said Marin Djokovic. He didnt pronounce it clearly.
In all pro sports I don't understand why the athletes buy into the unreasonable schedules. The top players don't need to be earning $20 million annually at the expense of their health.
Federer and Nadal could continue to play into their 50s. ATP tour just continue to let them use PEDs lol. Give them a silent ban every once in a while for cheating.
And Roger doesn't let go of guys like this to keep imaz.
BB Socrates
False advertising
Björn Borg is so silencio;-)
You clearly see that he is not afraid of alcohol. Already back then as an active he let himself go.
Duftstab Kerze What are you talking about pal?
Duftstab Kerze Is old Boris a heavy boozer pal?
Out of the top 4 guys Federer's game is the least physical, by a considerable margin. Is it any surprise that he is the one who is the least injury prone?
Boris looks like he's had a rough life since tennis.
Apparently he has, or has had, an alcohol problem. You can see it in his face. For those of us who saw him when he was seventeen this is very, very sad.
"Boris Becker on Roger Federer's continued success"? Not really.
He sounds like Arnold
Martin E That's because they're both from German speaking countries. They have a similar accent.
Obvious resaon is Rafa and Roger wants to end their career as the one with the most number of slams, titles and considered the best player..ever...ever...ever!!! Rafa has more masters and is considered the best in clay. Roger has the most slams and considered one of the best, if not the best on grass and hard. Best all rounder definitely. Both of them will not give up unless they have a major injury. Very intense competition!
He speaks such good English .... hardly any German accent in it.
Becker hat schon lange nicht mehr alle Tassen im Schrank.
I try but I can not take him seriously, really
I think he is cute in a way :)
Alyssasrealm he'll be happy to take you in a broom closet
Why not? He knows what he's talking about. Are you a top player?
Ros Williams great logic. He's top player so he's always right.... wow....
Alyssasrealm Boris Becker cute!? Wtf!
I don't get the impression he likes Fed that much. The biggest reason for this would likely be Becker's jealousy of Roger followed by his closeness to Djokovic, although the two no longer have a professional alliance.
Frog eyes.....
Like we never forgot what you wrote about him in your book.. such a liar.
Becker was saying what he thought at the time but also remember he was coaching Djok... and Roger seemed to be failing just then. The point now is that Becker is judging NOW, remarking how they didn't expect Roger and Rafa to return strong (or at all) but it's happened...
Damn, Boris looks older than me by far when the opposite is true. Must be all that sun, beer, and stress he's suffered.
But not more then thd Greyt Federer
why talk about "they" when Federer is clearly better than Nadal.
no nadal is better
Both of you shut up
Federer98 nah u shut up
No one here knows anything intelligent to say. Shame, going straight to if u don't agree with my opinion "SHUT UP" how childish are u
Federer98 u told me to shut up so im telling you to shut up. Nadal is the best tennis player ever deal with it.
He himself retired at 30 is raising doubts over Federer's career..though people were saying that Djokovic was doping ay the time he wad his coach...any way this man is nothing in front of great Roger Federer...he also married a black woman only to have an illegitimate child from some other woman
Boris always comes across a little jealous of Fed.
Y Zhao Right..while coaching Djokovic he wad so mean to Roger Federer
Can anyone please tell what exactly did he say against Roger?
Schlaganfall gefährdet...wenn er noch so lange raunt!
Biggest clown in Tennis doesn't taste that much success which Roger and Rafa did
Did you ever see Becker play live?
Roger get success for less competition and inferior opponents he faced,look at the Boris time and who he faced,he faced far better player than Roger.Roger is better than Boris but Boris record is not bad considering his era and opponents credibility.Roger Federer is one of the greatest of all time but no he is not greatest.He is the most elegant player along with Stefan Edberg.
is it me or but boris is kind of impersonating trump
Boris hasn't aged well.
50 year old's aint meant to look well
He looks fine, lol
Well 2 divorces def does not help!!!
boris he had only 6 grand slam and already he think himself is the best of all time
Sampras?
Philippe c yes this guy is still living in 80's
Philippe c Even his pupil Djokovic kicked him out of his team due to his extortionist demands because of his bankruptcy
Edberg "only" had 6 too but that was awsome in that time because there were so many good players and therefore it was harder to win
Philippe c when did you hear Becker say he thought was the best player of all time ? He never said anything in that direction as far as I know
You’re just trolling around
Boris Becker is clown
Tennis Tennisgod He squandered all his wealth and is now like a pauper
Tennis Tennisgod Old Boris is definitely a pure freakshow. I mean what a weirdo.
boris who?
...pander...hypocrite...failed...
Failed at what?
nobody dares to speak about doping. What a hypocritcal world...
Djokovic has a 9-6 lead over Fed in Grand Slam matches, including eight wins in the last ten meetings. Nadal leads Fed 9-3 in majors. Greatest of all time? yeah right
GOAT doesn't mean best at everything. It just means better than the others. If Fed isn't GOAT, then who is it? Fed has 4 more grand slams than Nadal and 8 more than Djokovic. He spent considerably many more weeks at number One. He has more GS finals, semi-finals and quarter-finals than them.
I can't speak for their H2H with Djokovic but against Nadal, most of their encounters were on clay where Nadal is better. But on grass and hard courts, Federer is leading against Nadal. It's not Fed's fault that Federer gets to the finals of grass and hard court tournaments while Nadal loses earlier against other weaker opponents.
As for his H2H against djokovic, you must realise most of it was when federer was declining from injuries and age and novak was at his peak. It’s a miracle federer managed to stage a comeback.
"nooooooo Federer is not GOAT!!! DjokoNada better HtoH!!!!." Others?
can't compare Fed, Rafa, Joker historically until they're all retired. Fed's not done yet, and the other have a few more years, depending on injuries.
everybody thought Tiger would sweep past Jack...
perfectforehand .yes but Djokovic went of the Cliff mentally.
