I am 75 and have always loved one-handed backhand players. Federer has a grace that most players don't have. After his retirement, I don't watch tennis!
Please don't compare people using wood rackets with modern players. It's simply a different game and I'm speaking as a player, who's played with both (I'm 66). Wood tennis rackets had several key limitations compared to modern composite rackets: String Tension Wood rackets could not handle high string tensions like modern rackets can. The typical string tension for wood rackets was much lower, around 40-50 lbs, compared to 55-65 lbs for modern rackets2. This lower tension limited power and control. Power and Speed Wood rackets were significantly heavier than modern composite rackets, weighing around 400g compared to 250g for modern rackets2. This extra weight made them more difficult to maneuver and swing quickly. As a result, players could not generate as much racket head speed, leading to lower power on shots. Accuracy and Control The head size of wood rackets was much smaller, typically around 65-70 square inches compared to 95-110 square inches for modern rackets2. This smaller sweet spot made it more challenging to hit the ball accurately and consistently. The flexibility of wood also made control more difficult. Spin Generation The dense string pattern and small head of wood rackets made it very difficult to generate topspin compared to modern rackets4. This limited players' ability to hit with heavy spin. Durability Wood rackets were prone to warping and required frequent maintenance to keep them in good playing condition3. Modern composite materials are much more durable and stable. Feel and Touch While wood rackets lacked power, some players argue they provided better feel for touch shots and volleys compared to stiffer modern rackets4. However, this came at the cost of overall performance. In summary, the limitations of wood - weight, small head size, low string tension, and flexibility - made wood rackets significantly less powerful, spin-friendly, and forgiving compared to modern composite rackets. The technological advancements in racket materials and design have dramatically changed the game, allowing for much faster, more spin-heavy play at the highest levels.
Novak and his fans are the most thin-skinned bunch of crybabies out there. He's such a poor role model on court, yet is butthurt over the fact that people love Fed and Rafa way more
Remember what a whiny quitter Novak was early on when things weren’t going his way? He’d take medical time outs or retire, which is why Federer didn’t like him. I’m with Roger on this.
Not just tried to hit he actually did it with force .. but Fed does not care ... however if someone had hit Djokovic even with a half paced shot he would have created a drama on court.
Yeah and if Djokovic gets hit, he glares at his opponent like his opponent disrespected his whole family, go to the umpire and start whining for the next 30 min
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has frustrated other players in the manner Federer has. Just look at Djokovic's face, the glare at Federer. The pent up anger and frustration were obvious. Kyrgios basically stated this in an interview once, stating words to the effect that no other player has the ability to just make you feel inept.
This is when tennis was tennis Rodger showed them how to stay cool and play proper tennis really you just cannot find fault hope one day it all comes back to this fair play no games just honest tennis what a joy to watch no matter whom federa plays just fantastic ❤❤❤❤
Roger, Nadal, and Novak are all superb. It is so funny that we are most interested in fighting who is better or worse as a player and as a person. They are also all humans with low and high moments on and off the court. Sociologically, trash talk seems to be more entertaining. Generally, I believe we were blessed to have three of them creating magic on tennis courts. Each of them is special with a totally different style. It just couldn't be better.
And now people want to present him as a victim and say Roger got mad because he surpassed him. No,,,the real thing is that he was a very desrespectful opponent.He didnt even apologize in a proper manner.
Djokovic the "schoolboy" leads Federer 13-6 in finals played against each other. So clearly the GOAT title should go to Federer - but one must smoke something first in order to come to that conclusion clearly :)
@@sohailhines~I would lead as well if I Did what he does and did! As you see NO ONE CARES, because they know HOW it was Won! Some ATP GOT PAID AS WELL! Time for him to leave while he has some dignity left! The Game is over! People don’t want to go to jail!
@@soblessed2176 care to elaborate? I'm here and listening. I've seen some of the closest head-to-head matches where Djokovic came from behind to win. I didn't see anything strange there. Are you suggesting bribes for officiating? That's a serious allegation I've not see mentioned elsewhere. Tennis is usually a pretty clean and well regulated sport so I'd not think that would go unchecked. The other data point is that when I see the most recent Davis Cup footage with conversations between Novak and Roger, I don't see any animosity or resentment as I'd expect if crimes were committed as you suggest.
That’s why he has a couple more slams, majors and no.1 weeks than Fed. It has something to do with his family and war situation in his country when he was young. D needed to represent his home country more than anybody else in the tennis circus.
Pathetic & Unethical! He will NEVER BE LIKED! I don’t care if he wins 100 Slams! He will NWO one close to Roger! Novak is classless and dangerous, not talking about playing tennis ?! Look him up!
Many people already know why Federer is loved and Novak is booed every game. Novak lacks the sportsmanship to be the best athlete. That will not be fixed until he retires.
Federer was the best tennis player ever! Best include all aspects! Although he does not have as many grand slam titles as Nadal or Djokovic, he was an amazing player, not only technically, but also in behavior and respect to opponents, empires and public. After his retirement tennis is not the same.
What year is this? Never mind. With a little research, I see this was 2018..probably August. Looks like Federer owned Djokovic at Cincinnati. No wonder it took so long for Novak to win Cincinnati.
Yeah, federer was the most academic player, nadal was the hardest dog, alkaraz is probably even more talanted by them, but djokovic is the goat. It is so nice that he shut the mouths of all those who claim to represent the civilised word and despite these two examples almost all players who faced him confirm that he is a gentleman. Considering the pressure and the unfair attitude he was given everywhere in the anglosaxon world and in the potato field in france, this is amazing. Actually this makes him the greatest person in sports.
Its a legal shot. If you dont want opponent to have that option put down your racket orturn your back. If he hits something else and misses or you stick out your racket and hit a winner, i bet youll take the point.
Roger is the KING, GOAT, THE BEST, ETC ETC ETC! Novak will NEVER EVER BE ABLE TO LIGHT A CANDLE NEAR ROGER! Novak is Classless! Thank God he’s about out the door before ALL his SCANDALS DROP!! Everyone knows it, that’s why he’s not celebrated! Some of the ATP Were involved as well, just for the money! ~Roger won all his Titles FAIR & *CLEAN*!!!!!! We Love You Roger~🙏🏽✊🏾♥️🙏🏽✊🏾♥️🙏🏽
I understand at that level hitting your opponent is easy, but is hitting the ball centre of mass not allowed, surely the aim of the game is that your opponent doesn't return the shot.
Djokovic leads Federer 13-6 in finals played against each other. But please don't bring up stats to the Federer fans. They need to make this more of a popularity contest instead of about stats and records because Roger has no chance with any sort of record books comparison with Novak.
Novaks JAIL BIRD TEAM MEMBER that they Showed Is the ONLY reason he won those many titles! And ATP KNOWS IT!!! 💴 talks! Exposure around the corner! Time for him to retire while he has a chance! Jannik better be VERY CAREFUL picking those Crooks to be on his team! The last ones he fired tried to set him up! And these 2 are WORST!
The one who stands alone, on top of everyone who ever played tennis. It hurts, it does, but facts are facts. One record after another, and then again one other after another and so forth. 428 weeks number 1 and for sure another 50 weeks of which he was robbed in various ways. And the best of all, he comes from Serbia 😂, he's a Serb. One that is and will be untouchable for many decades. Have you ever read the very long list of his records 😂. Novak is also the best role model, he showed the world how not to bend your head in front of stupidity, how to be yourself no matter what, to believe in yourself when no one except your loved and closest ones does. Thank you Novak also for feeding the poor. A truly great and humble human being.

jika anda bertanya kepada saya siapa yang lebih hebat antara Federer dan Djokovic tentu saja saya bilang Federer. Mengapa? Federer punya 20 Grand Slam. Namun, Djokovic yang lebih muda 5 tahun ternyata hanya mampu mengoleksi 24 Grand Slam. Begitu juga Nadal cuma 22 Grand Slam. Semestinya dalam waktu 5 tahun perbedaan umur baik Nole dan Nadal dibanding Federer, mereka seharusnya lebih jauh lagi dari sekadar 24 dan 22 Grand Slam. Kesimpulan, Federer lebih hebat!!!
انا اكرة هذا المهرج ولا استسيغه ابدا. للاسف. هو اكثر من فاز بالبطولات الكبرى وهذة هي اللعنة الكبرى. لايوجد افضل من فيدرر ونادال.. ملوك التنس واكثر ناس مخلقين ومحبوبين في هذة اللعبه

Did Roger run a business with his priceless answer ? I bet he did.
I am 68. I have seen Laver, Rosewall, Borg, McEnroe, Agassi, Sampras, and everyone who has followed. No one has ever played like Federer. Full stop.
Add the decorum Federer carried himself with and you have the reason he's loved, admired and respected the world over.
same deal here ( great list ) and i saw Gonzalez and Ashe live in the day. i still admire Rosewalls backhand !
I am 75 and have always loved one-handed backhand players. Federer has a grace that most players don't have. After his retirement, I don't watch tennis!
@asathyamurthy2481 I'd like to tell you that there is a resurgence in the one handed backhand. Not as beautiful as Roger's but still beautiful to see

Ironically Novak is always the first to complain when someone does this to him

Remember what a whiny quitter Novak was early on when things weren’t going his way? He’d take medical time outs or retire, which is why Federer didn’t like him. I’m with Roger on this.
norrie hit Novak when Novak already turned back and surended point .
Not just tried to hit he actually did it with force .. but Fed does not care ... however if someone had hit Djokovic even with a half paced shot he would have created a drama on court.
He is a 😺 boy that Djokovic. With his pinocchio head.
My favorite player since Edberg retired. I love that beautiful movement and smooth stroking and all that variety.
and Federer had Edberg as idol, growing up...
Federa is such class just plays the game to perfection no sweat fabulous ❤❤❤
Love the "Federer is the GOAT & that's no Djok" banner from a fan in the stands. Love this video. Thank you.
genius
he is a goat for kids
@@dragomir22 yeah because the kids don't realize that Djokovic leads Federer 13-6 in finals played against each other.
@@sohailhines Don't think they care when they see most of those finals it was prime Djokovic versus grandpa Federer.
@@sohailhines any idea why the big majority of kids - and adults - still prefer Federer?
Roger so classy, effortless & graceful.
something about federer and fast courts is just so enjoyable to watch
Yeah and if Djokovic gets hit, he glares at his opponent like his opponent disrespected his whole family, go to the umpire and start whining for the next 30 min
Exactly! He has always been Classless! That’s why no one likes him!
Aww the Rog-eh! It’s so nostalgic when you post these videos about him. I simply miss watching him play the game. 🩵
Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤
Roger played the real art of Tenis
Both players are moving and playing terrific.
That is the magic only Fed could show on court. Dogo did his best but still looked like a puppet in the hands of the master. Thank you Raz.
Amen!~
Serve and volley, hit and charge, drop shot, Roger does it all and masterfully..
With these kind of matches, friendship was hard to get between theses two GOAT.
That 47second game 🤣
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has frustrated other players in the manner Federer has. Just look at Djokovic's face, the glare at Federer. The pent up anger and frustration were obvious. Kyrgios basically stated this in an interview once, stating words to the effect that no other player has the ability to just make you feel inept.

I agree, I love all of them as players but they’ve all had their bad moments which is normal because they’re only human
What exactly is Roger's "priceless" response here?
The most technically gifted player of our time, what a joy to watch playing an incredible warrior like Djoker.
Never liked Djokovic. Too bad he's won so many times after Federer retired. Federer is forever my favorite tennis player.
And now people want to present him as a victim and say Roger got mad because he surpassed him. No,,,the real thing is that he was a very desrespectful opponent.He didnt even apologize in a proper manner.
Djokovic is and always has been a little shit, while Federer, on the other hand, is class and elegance personified.

True - Djokovic leads Federer 13-6 in finals played against each other. Imagine how much better he could have done with a better temper :)
Djoco, like anybody playing against Federer, is just a schoolboy. The fame of GOAT to Djoco is nonsense.
