@THE KING That was years ago man. People change and Rogers gotten a lot more humble. He doesn't need people like you watching his conferences if ur just a salty hater
At the beginning of his carrier I didn't like him, was a big big Nadal fan, but with time and knowing him better (as a player watching his games) I changed my mind and now I am a big fan of him, just because he is really on another class level. Really one of the greatest of all times!

yes, it s very different from a speech like: " I think he is a tough opponent , I will need to be at my best tennis level to beat him" served to any questions about the next opponent to be faced.
I think Federer has an aura, part authority, part affability that makes it hard to be disrespectful to his face. That is not to deny that there is likely to be racism and/or sexism involved as well. Re his function as a role model for those struggling with pressers: while what he says is undoubtedly good and advice for a great many, it may be of limited value to someone struggling with serious mental health problems. We like to think that tweaking your behaviour and attitude can solve them, but that may not always be the case even though it is true that those who do overcome, say, depression usually show a lot of initiative in the process.
@@Molybdaenmornell he's describing how he gained that calm. Federer didn't always have that, and had a reputation for outbursts as a young player, but he's considerably more experienced in life & competitive tennis than Osaka. 16 years on the tour is a huge learning period. For example the media created an image of Agassi as a brat, which Nike played up for marketing purposes, but the reality of the man was a kind an generous figure with a vision for philanthropic donations to schools for the underprivileged. Osaka is still a kid and will get over this hurdle.
Why is Roger The Goat ? Because he isnt just a tennis player. He is a well rounded human being. He struggled with his temper at the start of his career and then made a paradigm shift when he lost his mentor. He made massive chamges in his game to stay competitive. He always strives to be better in everyway.

Exactly !!! Cilic and Novak guilty of this every game.I believe it's intentional to make the player opposite wait.Why cannot the towels be at the back of the court behind the players.Easier to get quickly.
There's a video showing Cilic about to hit the serve and Mr 40-15 Chokerer decided to ignore him and walked off.. He was right to call Mr 40-15 Chokerer out for cheating with time. Cilic was ready to hit his serve and Mr 40-15 walked off to get his towel. Grow up. Classy my @ss..
The clown umpire today gave Roger the time violation after 18 seconds after the last point ended for Cilic to step up to the line and bounce the ball 10 times?! So if Cilic wants to bounce the ball 19 times (which he did on a few occasions) then Roger has 10 seconds to walk to the towel and get to the other side so not to delay Cilic's ball bouncing routine of 6, 8, 9, 12,15, 19 bounces. Exactly as Roger said in his press conference - he's not going to be rushed when Marin wants to rush to get to the line only to have him not serve and bounce it 10 times
the key argument is about the rule. lets say if 20s is the max time gap, if person A needs 15s bounces, does it mean person B (Federer here) needs to be ready on the line with from the 5th second? so person B（Ｆｅｄｅｒｅｒｅ） only has 5s to take the towel lol
I have time to go to the loo amb back and Marin is still bouncing. Do they think the fans pay to watch them bounce the ball? Couldn't they just bounce the ball a couple of times and go for it? I stopped playing at club level because of time wasters. Life's too short to spend most of your time in court waiting to hit the ball because of that type of player. Couldn't they learn from Agassi, Fernando González or Federer?

@@srinitaaigaura facts a lot of players do that bullshit once twice ok every time you serve definitely throws off returner rafa if you notice always tries to be ready for server and he sweats bullets
"Regardless of the outcome, I am very happy, which is why I came here in the first place." I think every competitor should imbibe this attitude about every tournament.
He's nearly 40 and didn't play almost 2 years. Yes he's back. Every shot he played so beautiful to watch. It's tennis for me. The umpire's unfair. He used less time than Cilic bouned the ball.😄😁😆😅🤣😂
lol know your tennis. he can't be the greatest. he is not even the greatest of his era! most of his grand slams were won before nadal hit puberty and after that his domination was over. djokovic and nadal both are greater players.
@@joellahrman4557 No because you’ll run the clock to 0 and get a warning and then a point penalty. By the time the server gets to the line, he usually has about 5 seconds left on the clock.
Am not familiar with power tripping umpires. I suppose he can say I’m the first umpire to give Federer a time violation in his entire tennis career. I’ll remember this umpire as Emmanuel Joseph the Wanker. Even Cilic lost my respect after sheepishly replying to Federer’s Question “Am I playing too slow?
So true. Cilic has played Roger so many times now and knowing RF's persona on and off court, Cilic should have been a little more respectful and mature. But maybe that's what separates greats like RF and idiots like Cilic. I think it must have been his strategy to hurry up Federer knowing that he was coming off a long injury break and is obviously old. So, maybe he thought that if he hurries him up and not let him settle, it might give him a chance. I mean for God's sake, Fed is not slow 😂. Have you seen the time Nadal takes to get ready... plucking out his undies out his ass. Cilic himself was bouncing the ball for an entirety before serving. Idiot. I think RF is the only guy who does things in the most fair/right manner. In the match against Cilic, he even gave him a point during the tiebreak when the umpire called it out. All others try cheap tactics against him to beat him and sometimes succeed as well. case in point - Djoker has taken medical timeouts several times against Fed at crucial points when he has been on the brink of losing and then after coming back, has dramatically turned the match in his favour and won it. Even Nadal has done such stuff. Now, some may claim that it is as per rules etc but you just know when a wrong is being committed. Isn't it?
That’s why the Williams sisters were so powerful and strong. They had each other and they had an entire support system. They had challenges from a very young age from many people, from the media to the spectators to the organisers. It must’ve been difficult but they endured 😍
A very good 1st question from reporter. Federer is very honest and outspoken. Really articulates his thoughts well! Lots of gold nuggets here if you listen
He could play for another few years at this rate ! Which is crazy when you thijk about it. But who’s to say he can’t ?? He can still beat most people on tour.
Roger is not only articulate. He is quite insightful. His is the only press conference I really bother to listen to. Really a great ambassador for the sport.
The irony of Cilic complaining about Roger playing too slow. He bounces the ball forever when he's serving, adjusts his foot on the line over and over and then bounces the ball again for what feels like an eternity.
@@yopermangarcia5232 of course but there’s also a rule that the returner should play to the server’s speed. So you have to get ready within the 25 seconds when the server decides to step up to the line. The point Federer is making is that he’s ready but Cilic in this case is just bouncing the ball and not really intend to serve and he gets tired of this and I can get that.
the key argument is about the rule. lets say if 20s is the max time gap, if person A needs 15s bounces, does it mean person B (Federer here) needs to be ready on the line with from the 5th second? so person B（Ｆｅｄｅｒｅｒｅ） only has 5s to take the towel lol
One of the reasons I love tennis: the well-mannered (for the most part) participants, Federer among the top examples. Going back a few years, I include Navratilova and Patrick McEnroe and Courier in that group.
Curb your time! When Roger asked Cilic if he was taking to long, Cilic threw him under the bus, and then proceeds to bounce 30 times before the serve. Like no class or pride as an athlete. And you could feel the umpire's guilt afterward because he gave a penalty to Cilic later on. But the King won, who is now to me a wizard on the court.
Su Majestad Roger Federer!!! The only elegant player in the circuit.... It doesn't matter how many titles... His moves, effortless, he's unique backhand... Like a ballet dancer on the court... Roger marks the difference... Everyone loves and respect him like no other💎
Your words!!!!!Always so so precious! Thank you for being You, thank you for being our peRFect! We love you loads, Hero ! This advice about mental health is important not only for tennis players, but also for us! Best wishes! Stay safe! Take care!❤❤❤❤❤
That's not how I saw it. Imagine you're stood there, waiting to serve and you having to wait for Roger Federer strolling back from where his towel id again and again. I twigged Cilic's point of view even before the commentators picked up on it. It wasn't deliberate but it wasn't right. The rule is the opponent has to play to the pace of the server. I'm a huge fan of Roger, don't get me wrong....but really he should know that strolling around while his opponent is waiting to serve isn't right.
There is a video showing Cilic about to serve, and Mr 40-15 Chokerer decided to ignore him and walked off to get his towel.... Mr 40-15 Chokerer is clearly cheating on time. Cheap trick to disrupt him and piss him off. Cilic was right to call him out... And even the commentators agreed with Cilic.

Cilic has no business criticising taking time. Mr 20 bounces.
or nadal and djokovic. Federer is the best through and through.
Exactly !!! Cilic and Novak guilty of this every game.I believe it's intentional to make the player opposite wait.Why cannot the towels be at the back of the court behind the players.Easier to get quickly.
There's a video showing Cilic about to hit the serve and Mr 40-15 Chokerer decided to ignore him and walked off..
He was right to call Mr 40-15 Chokerer out for cheating with time. Cilic was ready to hit his serve and Mr 40-15 walked off to get his towel. Grow up. Classy my @ss..
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 Are you dense? That's one time in comparison to the crap that gets done to him.
@@andrewtrejo6543 Nah she is a joker fan and keeps farting against Fed and Nad.
The clown umpire today gave Roger the time violation after 18 seconds after the last point ended for Cilic to step up to the line and bounce the ball 10 times?! So if Cilic wants to bounce the ball 19 times (which he did on a few occasions) then Roger has 10 seconds to walk to the towel and get to the other side so not to delay Cilic's ball bouncing routine of 6, 8, 9, 12,15, 19 bounces. Exactly as Roger said in his press conference - he's not going to be rushed when Marin wants to rush to get to the line only to have him not serve and bounce it 10 times
The game begin and end by one thing I guess : HR
When Roger speaks, you listen.
Or not
@@Swingeout then you disrespect
@@Swingeout if you dont,you lose. Are you a loser ?
He likes guys so he's happy for you to be his..... B... ch..
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 this is the most juvenile comment I have read in my 60+ years of life.
He's incredible. Absolutely love watching and listening. Will also savour every moment that he continues to play professionally.
Cilic protesting about players taking too long while he stands there bouncing the ball for 2 minutes is really fucking ironic.
as a Čilić fan, i cannot but agree on that
No kidding...my thoughts exactly! Super annoying.
man that first answer was so profound, what an icon 🐐
“New to the New Tour” lol 😂 Priceless!
His laugh is so catchy!
Too bloody right ! - 10 bounces ? - Ridiculous .
the key argument is about the rule. lets say if 20s is the max time gap, if person A needs 15s bounces, does it mean person B (Federer here) needs to be ready on the line with from the 5th second? so person B（Ｆｅｄｅｒｅｒｅ） only has 5s to take the towel lol
@@-thisismylife-
I don't care what universe we are in.. 10 bounces is obnoxious!
"Start bouncing already!" haha!
I died
I have time to go to the loo amb back and Marin is still bouncing. Do they think the fans pay to watch them bounce the ball? Couldn't they just bounce the ball a couple of times and go for it? I stopped playing at club level because of time wasters. Life's too short to spend most of your time in court waiting to hit the ball because of that type of player. Couldn't they learn from Agassi, Fernando González or Federer?
From the time Cilic started his bounces and was ready to serve, Federer could've a shower and a short nap.
😂🤣👍
They should show commercials between points while Cilic is serving
@@quinnworthington3306 same goes for nadal, his small rituals with his finger in his ass and his hair takes a hella long time
@@mustafakilic8693 come on!
Yes yes we all know Federer walks on (shower) water 💧
So HAPPY to see you back.!♥️
Roger always makes the one third Swiss in me feel so good......
And what about the chocolate?
Goat 🐐 on the interviews as well! The only male player that i can really listen to what he says, without get tired: flawless speech with many interesting things to say about this amazing sport!
Man I love hearing Roger talk in his interviews!
This man doesn’t look 40.
Ummm I don't know. Him and Nadal have definitely shown their ages of late...but they still play like they are in the twenties.
Course he doesn't.He's 39.;)
He always looks sharp and is always charming.How many men of his age as a top class athlete have worn better.Class.
And how does 40 years old look? In your stereotypical world? No, I am not coming for you, but would appreciate an honest comment.
He's got millions to spend on cosmetic surgery. He's done botox... And cosmetic treatments.
The umpire wasn't right this time... Federer is the last player who would want to do that...
Except the umpire was right, it's the rules.

Just like you shouldn't time violate rafa does same routine every time
@@mikeybmore5860 Or Tsitsipas, who fudges the ball toss just to give him extra time to serve again and throw the returner off rhythm.
@@srinitaaigaura facts a lot of players do that bullshit once twice ok every time you serve definitely throws off returner rafa if you notice always tries to be ready for server and he sweats bullets
"Regardless of the outcome, I am very happy, which is why I came here in the first place." I think every competitor should imbibe this attitude about every tournament.
Congrats Roger you‘re Legend continues, we love you allez allez, keep it up🇨🇭🤗❤️
“Yeah, he can start bouncing while waiting”, I lost it😂
He's nearly 40 and didn't play almost 2 years. Yes he's back. Every shot he played so beautiful to watch. It's tennis for me. The umpire's unfair. He used less time than Cilic bouned the ball.😄😁😆😅🤣😂
No one can touch Roger! He has it all!! And im a huge Rafa fan!😍
@@tiannacampbell7327 thank you. And Rafa's king of clay. HBD 😊
Dont be ludicrous
@@Marekxk What's your problem?
The GOAT speaks! Glad to see him playing again!
lol know your tennis. he can't be the greatest. he is not even the greatest of his era! most of his grand slams were won before nadal hit puberty and after that his domination was over. djokovic and nadal both are greater players.
Very good questions and answers.
it just seemed like they was asking really stupid questions
Advice for young players? Huh?
@@cbmtrx ask about the match what he just played, not this depression nonsense
"nonsense"
@@tennisone6376 They did, what a kind caring personal you must be.
Rule should be implemented for only 5 bounces before each serve!
OK but I'm going to take 5 seconds between bounces, is that OK?
why?
I so agree....
@@joellahrman4557
No because you’ll run the clock to 0 and get a warning and then a point penalty. By the time the server gets to the line, he usually has about 5 seconds left on the clock.
@@hymansahak181 ok so you want to limit the number of bounces purely because it annoys you, not because it takes too long?
I said "good question" before roger said it as well. This means im on the same level as RF.
When it comes to appreciating this particular question, definitely!
@@coughhy you can always dream LOL
Obviously
You said it before Roger so you are even above his level. You are the true GOAT!
@@hesch-tag good point.
A player-commentator is he. Listen to him is another charm of tennis!
Anyone else hears this in a Yoda voice? Upvote!
One of the best sportsmen to ever live and probably my favourite person. So WONDERFUL in everyway. Roger Federer. 💚 4ever
Am not familiar with power tripping umpires. I suppose he can say I’m the first umpire to give Federer a time violation in his entire tennis career. I’ll remember this umpire as Emmanuel Joseph the Wanker. Even Cilic lost my respect after sheepishly replying to Federer’s Question “Am I playing too slow?
So true. Cilic has played Roger so many times now and knowing RF's persona on and off court, Cilic should have been a little more respectful and mature. But maybe that's what separates greats like RF and idiots like Cilic. I think it must have been his strategy to hurry up Federer knowing that he was coming off a long injury break and is obviously old. So, maybe he thought that if he hurries him up and not let him settle, it might give him a chance. I mean for God's sake, Fed is not slow 😂. Have you seen the time Nadal takes to get ready... plucking out his undies out his ass. Cilic himself was bouncing the ball for an entirety before serving. Idiot. I think RF is the only guy who does things in the most fair/right manner. In the match against Cilic, he even gave him a point during the tiebreak when the umpire called it out. All others try cheap tactics against him to beat him and sometimes succeed as well. case in point - Djoker has taken medical timeouts several times against Fed at crucial points when he has been on the brink of losing and then after coming back, has dramatically turned the match in his favour and won it. Even Nadal has done such stuff. Now, some may claim that it is as per rules etc but you just know when a wrong is being committed. Isn't it?
You just can't help but love this guy.. he's a humble legend.. hope he at least makes last 8.. #GOROGER
We are witnessing a true sport miracle...turning 40 and can beat anyone on any given day
Thank you for this
Rogers is always a gentleman ..!!!
This guy is so loveable! Great questions and answers... Really learned a lot!
Roger is Forever gonna be under the age of 40😱😱🤣🤣🤣❤️💯
Sheer Class. Sheer Professional. Sheer Gentleman. Sheer Intelligence.
I cant tell if this is parody or serious
Finally, a FULL interview! Do you have access to any other French Open 2k21 Interviews?
The legend, so intelligent. Has all scenarios in his head .
Hi! I love your videos! How can I watch de press conference of Pablo Cuevas???
Holding the return position as the server bounces 10 times has to be frustrating.
Marin bounced the ball 15 times at times
That’s why the Williams sisters were so powerful and strong. They had each other and they had an entire support system. They had challenges from a very young age from many people, from the media to the spectators to the organisers. It must’ve been difficult but they endured 😍
It was a really windy day and the ref hit Venus with a time violation. Just over officiating. It was uncalled for and she let him know.
06:51 Roger rocks up when feels he's ready to go 😎👍
Roger is 40 this year and still playing like a 24-year old man! Top!
True. Also, there probably isnt a 24 year old man in the world that can beat him.
@@paricutin21 i dont think there is a slight chance that roger will reach semis.
or even if he do hes gonna lose to nadal.
Roger: *Gives extremely thoughtful and detailed response to question*
Journalist: "Great"
Come on, not even a "Thanks Rog" or something?
Pure Gentleman of Tennis.
A very good 1st question from reporter. Federer is very honest and outspoken. Really articulates his thoughts well! Lots of gold nuggets here if you listen
Federer was in the right here. He had 15 seconds left.
So good to hear Roger's view.
The first answer was so thoughtful and intense... I understood nothing except the legends willing to help
Always great to hear and watch Federer
Fed still looks and moves around the court like a 25-30 year old. Not almost 40!
He'll be 40 in August. He's legendary isn't he?
@@cerengultekin absolutely! On another note, did you see the innumerable times Cilic was bouncing before serving? It was annoying af.
He could play for another few years at this rate ! Which is crazy when you thijk about it. But who’s to say he can’t ?? He can still beat most people on tour.
Masterclass!
Federer played very well at some of the most important times. Very happy.
Roger is not only articulate. He is quite insightful. His is the only press conference I really bother to listen to. Really a great ambassador for the sport.
He doesn’t age. His skin looks flawless , his hair looks gorgeous ...
I mean, a lot of his hair is gone lol
Very generous man. Unlike some tennis players that avoid the press or make them feel like they are annoying. Great example and role model.
The irony of Cilic complaining about Roger playing too slow. He bounces the ball forever when he's serving, adjusts his foot on the line over and over and then bounces the ball again for what feels like an eternity.
yeah Cilic seems like a nice guy but I can't stand that service routine. he takes forever and looks like something's up his ass
Is there a Marin cilic press conference?
Greatest of the greats! N most humble!! ICON !! Tennis face!!
How are you handeling copyright strikes ?
Do you get them
Should enforce a bouncing rule. Marin’s bouncing is silly to be honest. Totally getting Rodger there 💯
Countless times they should have enforced time limits on Nadal
@@mizofan Absolutely. His matches always take long because of all the delays, even when he’s winning easily.
there is actually a rule that is 25 seconds, LMAO
@@yopermangarcia5232 of course but there’s also a rule that the returner should play to the server’s speed. So you have to get ready within the 25 seconds when the server decides to step up to the line. The point Federer is making is that he’s ready but Cilic in this case is just bouncing the ball and not really intend to serve and he gets tired of this and I can get that.
the key argument is about the rule. lets say if 20s is the max time gap, if person A needs 15s bounces, does it mean person B (Federer here) needs to be ready on the line with from the 5th second? so person B（Ｆｅｄｅｒｅｒｅ） only has 5s to take the towel lol
Roger speaks impeccably. This is why he is so beloved everywhere in the world!
One of the reasons I love tennis: the well-mannered (for the most part) participants, Federer among the top examples. Going back a few years, I include Navratilova and Patrick McEnroe and Courier in that group.
Me too
part about the argument starts at 4:50
First time that I have seen him so inpatient 💙
Masterclass on and off court.!
Federer keeps fighting an uphill battle with players who are younger and higher ranked than him. I hope he plays until 45.
45 would be an absolute dream
Curb your time! When Roger asked Cilic if he was taking to long, Cilic threw him under the bus, and then proceeds to bounce 30 times before the serve. Like no class or pride as an athlete. And you could feel the umpire's guilt afterward because he gave a penalty to Cilic later on. But the King won, who is now to me a wizard on the court.
Undoubtedly greatest player ...he is best tennis player best sportsman on and off court...👍
Stick around for many more years dear Roger. Are are a great human I can see it all the time
271k views just for his press conference!!! Even some players' match highlights don't get this much views... that's why he is Roger Federer ❤️
Hope he Win's Another Grand Slam. Good Luck Mate. Best Tennis Player Ever🍀🍀🍀
Su Majestad Roger Federer!!! The only elegant player in the circuit.... It doesn't matter how many titles... His moves, effortless, he's unique backhand... Like a ballet dancer on the court... Roger marks the difference... Everyone loves and respect him like no other💎
Your words!!!!!Always so so precious! Thank you for being You, thank you for being our peRFect! We love you loads, Hero ! This advice about mental health is important not only for tennis players, but also for us! Best wishes! Stay safe! Take care!❤❤❤❤❤
Can someone pls tell where i can watch these press conferences live? :)
Depends upon where you live. Look it up on Google.
Marin wanted to speed it up, just as a strategic move.
That did seem to be the plan. It didn't work out too well but there ya go ay xD
Yeah..serve after looking up once only and 10 bounces instead of 20.
That's not how I saw it. Imagine you're stood there, waiting to serve and you having to wait for Roger Federer strolling back from where his towel id again and again. I twigged Cilic's point of view even before the commentators picked up on it. It wasn't deliberate but it wasn't right. The rule is the opponent has to play to the pace of the server. I'm a huge fan of Roger, don't get me wrong....but really he should know that strolling around while his opponent is waiting to serve isn't right.
Nah, Federer was clearly trying to slow down play
There is a video showing Cilic about to serve, and Mr 40-15 Chokerer decided to ignore him and walked off to get his towel.... Mr 40-15 Chokerer is clearly cheating on time. Cheap trick to disrupt him and piss him off.
Cilic was right to call him out... And even the commentators agreed with Cilic.
Federer has earned the right to take his time and the youngsters are going to have to take it with a grain of salt. Period.
