I never understood why Kokkinakis could not rise above the top 60 of the rating. One of the most undisclosed players on the tour at the moment. It's good that at least AO won in a couple.
Injury, consistency, and shot selection… I don’t know much about Kokkinakis but I think it’s either one of them (def. injury in his crucial years of developing, not sure his problem now).
He's not the strongest mentally, not very consistent. Doesn't defend very well and needs a lot of time to set up a good forehand (which he certainly has)
Losing the Indian Wells in such situation really drenated him, you can see than here he wasn't playing and moving well. He just needed winning 2 matches and with that mantaining world no. 1, those were hard weeks for Fedfans
No,that wasn’t biggest upset,because Roger was super tired after Indian Wells final and he was 36 y.o here,right now nobody trying to play 4 weeks in a row at 36
Would love to see Kokkinakis' reaction to the video title considering how he always comes across as if he thinks he's God's gift to the world & can beat anyone (which tbf he kinda can when it comes together).
I do things on my terms when he beat Federer and then loses to Vedasco next round who was baiting him for a fight(physical) would you believe. I would have like his dad to have told the Spaniard where to go.
Alcaraz and Sinner are so exciting to watch . Their level is unbelievable. So much higher than Fed .They play so physically and with ridiculous talent. They can defend , return serve like Djokovic and attack like Federer . They can even play all the spins and pass like Nadal. It’s simply crazy how good they are . Djokovic is by far the GOAT , but for how long ?
This is even worse that Djokovic v. Nardi IW 2024. But, can we draw a parallel to Novak 2024 season and Roger 2018? Age-wise? Would this indicate a resurrection 2025 season for Novak, like Roger's 2019? Time will tell.......
Actually pretty similar. At Indian Wells Roger lost to Del Potro in the final, a top player of the time, like Djokovic lost to Sinner at AO this year. Those matches took away confidence resulting in the losses just one tournament later to a much weaker opponent..!
@@Luckyluckyluc But Roger came back in 2019 winning 4 titles including Miami Masters. Almost winning Wimbledon (was the better player as confirmed by Novak also).... This implies that if Novak finds his motivation again and is injury free, he should win 2-3 more titles this year and 4-5 next year. I'd go with a bold prediction he'll win at least 1 x Slam, 2 x Masters 1000 and perhaps retire by winning his last title at the Tour Finals (the fastest hard court).
Federer's biggest mistake was skipping the Clay here. Even though his dip in form after Indian Wells, participating in Masters 1000 events in either Monte Carlo, Madrid or Rome could have secured him more weeks at the top after the Wimbledon.
At this stages of their careers, the focus is more on being selective and saving your body for grandslams, than adding few more weeks to your #1/2/3 position
fed got the goldilocks era 2003-2009 but once novak/nAdal got going fed faded and ONLY won 33% of his GS matches agaisnt both..TOTAL FAILURE!! couldn't even nadal once at french, losed to djoki 3 times in a row at wimbledon finals on fedsqasuh supposed best surface!!!!!?? 505 of feds titles were on the B circuit 250/500

Same... he definitely got the game, seems like his head is the problem and overrally his decision making
Injury, consistency, and shot selection… I don’t know much about Kokkinakis but I think it’s either one of them (def. injury in his crucial years of developing, not sure his problem now).
Injuries and more injuries that never allowed him to play freely and to develop his game.
He's not the strongest mentally, not very consistent. Doesn't defend very well and needs a lot of time to set up a good forehand (which he certainly has)
He isn't good enough.
We miss this Kokki version. He was such a promise in that moment...
Overrated player
😂@@cuerdoxxx
@@mattimeikalainen1635 Best ranking: 65...
Speak for yourself. Dude is like Kyrgios, a wasted talent
@@unowen7591 Kyrgios is very good and lazy. Kokkinakis is a top 100-65 level player
Every Kok win is an upset
😂
lmao
Except Big4
This match was the end of Federer's resurgence that started at Australian Open 2017.
I'd say failing to take one of those three match points in the previous match was the end
What an amazing game from Thanasi. 👍
Losing the Indian Wells in such situation really drenated him, you can see than here he wasn't playing and moving well. He just needed winning 2 matches and with that mantaining world no. 1, those were hard weeks for Fedfans
Probaly 🥥 Kokonakkis was having a lot of fun with vekic before the match 😮
😂😂
Un hilo de confianza que genera amabilidad en cada conversación. Una fidelidad verdadera de todos los participantes
Thanasi is a famous player but his max ranking 65. Wao.
The ball looks super slow compared to today. it looks so weird :D
No,that wasn’t biggest upset,because Roger was super tired after Indian Wells final and he was 36 y.o here,right now nobody trying to play 4 weeks in a row at 36
No, that was a well fought hard earned victory for Kokinakis
delusional. roger was still really good 2018-2019 even though 2018 was not his best.
@@dinkydoodle8325all went downhill after that IW final loss
@@dinkydoodle8325 He was very tired,if you saw this match,then you know that,he was very slow,because he doesn’t have any energy left
Fedal fans and excuses 🤣
Upset: Yes.
Biggest Upset Ever: Absolutely No.
Kokkinakis was ranked 175th at that time in the world. Federer was the numero uno player in this tournament. That's why it's the biggest upset ever.
Would love to see Kokkinakis' reaction to the video title considering how he always comes across as if he thinks he's God's gift to the world & can beat anyone (which tbf he kinda can when it comes together).
If you're going to deny the statement at least mention the one match you think is the biggest upset in Miami history.
In MIAMI history
@@Tiziown Yep in MIAMI history

Back when Miami courts was still nice to watch. Now they ruined it with the new paint
I personally like the new colors, it looks clean, but yeah this colors were great too
It’s in a different location now. Used to be crnadon park, now hard rock
It's the new stadium imo
Damn, he was good. I remember his RG match vs peak joker when he was only 19. 6/4 6/4 6/4
i thought new star rising, but something went wrong.
I’ve seen Thanasi play twice at the Arizona Tennis Classic ATP Challenger, but I wish he did better at Indian Wells instead.

This is even worse that Djokovic v. Nardi IW 2024.
But, can we draw a parallel to Novak 2024 season and Roger 2018? Age-wise?
Would this indicate a resurrection 2025 season for Novak, like Roger's 2019?
Time will tell.......

@@Karen_McAlllister idk, Novak is more emotional than Roger when it comes to (bad) game performance so I'm not sure if we can draw that parallel...
Shame on you.
@@zafferung4440 Shame on terrorist
Hamas and Hezbolah.
Federer as always gracious in defeat.
Sure, go watch 2011 US open semifinal press conference
Nobody is more gracious in defeat than Novak
What an amazing tennis from Federer❤ he is the best 👏
The final Masters tournament where Fed wore Nike.

Prime Kok
Kokki got lucky 😅… he got one from the tail end of the GOAT career. 😮
...and Kokkinakis still lost in the 3rd round to Fernando Verdasco. Talk about highs and lows. Isner practially got a bye to the final and won it.
How do you figure that? Isner beat Cilic, DelPo and Zverev, 2nd, 5th and 4th seeds respectively.
delpo had that epic battle with raonic in the qf @@guillezorro
At federers age I don't see why this should be considered an upset?
Woah! A 36 year old Federer past his prime loses one match to a promising teenager. Shocker
A 22 year old Teenager
Federer was #1 in the world
fed got the goldilocks era 2003-2009 but once novak/nAdal got going fed faded and ONLY won 33% of his GS matches agaisnt both..TOTAL FAILURE!! couldn't even nadal once at french, losed to djoki 3 times in a row at wimbledon finals on fedsqasuh supposed best surface!!!!!?? 505 of feds titles were on the B circuit 250/500
This is exactly what happened to Djokovic
Did Kokkinakis bang his girlfriend too...??😡😡
Unfortunately this was the real downfall of Fed’s 2018. Didn’t play well at all after this and only regained some form in 2019
who cares.. 0:48 was the best shot of the day lol
When this match happened
Only wished feds stayed longer with Nike so they could release more of those air maxes
Federer: it's not right but bravo
Poor Koki, still never reached even 10% of what did Roger in his career.
10 percent of rogers career is beyond belief for almost any player ever
According to Kyrgios, Kokk is now the goat then.
huh
Biggest upset in Miami History was Tommy Haas vs Djokovic
It’s like a curse 😂😂😂
Federer was tired- and also has a tendency to choke matches away, look at U.S. Open 2017 where he choked to Delpo.
Kokkinakis played great and deserved to win while roger at least he didn't lose to a lucky lose like someone did days ago 👌😂😂
Federer wearing one tens on court?!
FEDERER IS BACK?!
🤦🏽♂️
Old game
@@enormousenoch oh my fault
@@dylan12.0 my fault LOL
@@lisayuen6239 😂
This was the same match as Albot the next year, Federer was completely off.
Yes....Kokkinakis played good....really good....but Roger was far from his best there....
Federer wasn't kokki after this match. Thanasi was though. He always is.
Then this dude got kicked out by Verdasco after being a spoiled bastard on court😂
Golden era of NIKE design..
That’s what age does to you!
He always be the goat ,not statisticly,
yes kokkilnaksi is tarented but nothing speshul about his gayme
What.
Its dated 2018 … enhale and exhal😂e
most overated player ever
About the only career highlight for the over emotional crybaby. 😂
