People will just look at slam numbers and never truly remember how great Federer really is. After everyone counted him out, calling him too old. Then he comes back a break in the 5th set to close out a victory against his lifelong rival. It's not just about the numbers. It's also about the manner in which you accomplished them. Reminds me of MJ in basketball.
I don’t think Federer suffers from people not appreciating his greatness. Regardless of final slam counts and GOAT talk he is clearly one of the all time greats that brought something very special to the game, just as Djoko and nadal have as well.
@@Alex-rj8ns I think he would have beaten him, Nadal was playing insanely well and still wasn't able to beat the Fed but I love how you guys always try and diminish Federer's achievements.
@@JacenSolo0 We all have seen what happens when Nadal faces Novak in AO final in 19', demolition job Novak in AO is very similiar to Rafa in RG, but sadly will not play there anymore
@@Alex-rj8ns Nadal was playing better then and 2017 Federer with his Neo backhand and amazing form would have clinched it against Djokovic, I mean we can never know but Roger was on fire that whole year plus Djokovic lost to Istomin..
Good bye Roger. Thank you for giving us the good times and the bad times. You are the best I’ve seen and you showed my son and I how tennis should be played, with style and elegance. Through the Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Sampras, and Agassi days, I’ve seen it all. You are the GOAT by far
This late career Federer is my favourite Federer. It was hypnotic to watch a 37 year run around the court like he did, and my god that backhand was perfection for about 14 months.
This is probably the most competitive, most elite level tennis I’ve ever witnessed. Both players at the end of their prime, both absolutely crushing it. This is a treat from the tennis gods.
@@pedropabloceron6150 I would argue that both Rafa and Federer were better here in 2017. Both had better knowledge of the game and better technique than they did in 2008. Hard to say which is the better finale overall but I vote AO 2017.
@@DylanDarkWorld2 knowledge but speed wasnt even close to the level they had, this was a veterans match. That wimbledon was the toro (bull) rafa vs the torero federer both at their prime.
It's a small detail, but there's something about them wearing the same outfit that gives this match quite an epic feel. Kind of like Yin and Yang, with each man fighting his opposite.
Well deserved from a die hard nadal fan I cried for Rafa but then I had happy tears for fed he was such a fighter that match You know how Nadal fights like every point is match point in a GS well done Rodger it's been a honour to be able to witness your greatness
Nadal fan here. Was gutted when he lost this one, still hurts. But he’s got a few more slams since then, so doesn’t hurt as much anymore. But despite being a Nadal fan, I can safely say that Federer is the GOAT. Just for the sheer skills on display. If you asked me to draw the perfect tennis player, I’d say google Roger Federer.
@@gangster125 lol skills don't make the goat . Accomplishments do . Otherwise kyrie irving would be the goat of basketball and we all know that's pure cap.
@@Fraudkovic have no idea who that is. Are we really comparing someone from an internationally watched sport to someone from some shitty USA-only league…. even as an analogy? Really? lol what jokes. Beyond a certain point of achievement, accomplishments by themselves start to matter lesser than purity of performance.
@@gangster125 kyrie irving is a popular American basketball player . He's the most skilled player ever but he's not even a top 75 player in the history of basketball. But he is more popular than any tennis player that ever exists . Also more relevant than your dad federer . There, some trivia for you tennis nerds who can't appreciate anything else. But it's aight ig since most people don't consider tennis real sport. Maybe because only 3 people are keeping this sport relevant which will die along with their retirement .
After all this years , it still evokes the same sweet emotions that it did the first time round. To me, this is Roger's second greatest slam victory behind his French Open 09 victory.
This must be his best. He finally beat Nadal in a slam. The French Open was one he squeaked in without having had to go through Nadal, in which case that crown wouldn’t even have happened. Novak went through Nadal for one of his French crowns, so he has that over Roger.
@@rittsuo4584 yeah. But that was never going to happen. Nadal is way more of a beast on clay than Federer was on grass. Even the 2008 final was going to be a straight sets win for Nadal if not for the rain break.
Roger is for me the most elegant player ever. Absolutely incredible to watch! Hope he will be able to play again at that level. I know that's highly questionable but still..
We will miss these two when, eventually, Father Time wins in the end. Astonishing scorelines. At the time, I felt Nadal was going to win in the fifth set; he seemed to have the upper hand and Roger had lost to Nadal in so many similar situations but Federer hit some remarkable shots ( not just the obvious winners to end the points) but more importantly deep top spin shots that got him back into points Nadal looked destined to win and Roger turned these rallies in his favour. His backhand in particular, withstood some serious assault from Rafa. That probably surprised Rafa. Admire both these legends
Also helped that this was a Nadal coming back from injury, and still learning the new way of not running everything down but going for big shots to shorten points and stretch his eventual career.
@@anonymousLeroy sure. That is why I call that Australian Open an absolute embarrassment for the next gen. To have two half-baked oldies, all-time greats sure, but to have these two even make the finals was an absolute embarrassment to be honest. I didn’t follow much of Federer in this tournament because I honestly didn’t expect him making the final, let alone winning it. But I followed most of Nadal, and it was clear he was playing at barely 50% here.
A fabulous display by the two greatest sportsmen of our generation! True sportsmen and true gentlemen, both absolutely at the top of their game! A wonderful display of finesse and skill by both men. Thank you both!
my god i was thinking the same even before the point came I said this is the same as that one. Roger's most clutch forehands ever, also the one from wimby 07 was super clutch and a thing of sheer beauty.
I know Nadal has more wins than Roger but for me, Roger will always be the GOAT because of his graceful styles and his demeanors on and off the court. But I am also a huge fan of Nadal and Novak too!!
@@Riley_Reid He was out for sometime and I would guess that has a part to play but even his forehand feels restrained. Unless he's 100% certain it looks like he's holding back.
The handshake between the two legends at the net just after championship point, one can see that Rafa truly respected Fed for his efforts that night in Melbourne, as he kind of gestured/intimated/said "Good job, Champ...you earned it."
@@prithwirajdhar1591 in your dreams. Federer is done and dusted. Not going to win any more slams in his 40s. Champion of a weak era. Nadal made Federer cry and wet his pants.
What a final!! I was so happy that Rafa won it and I am a huge fan of Roger!! Rafa deserves nothing but respect! Just like Roger, at the age of 35, he came back after a 6-month absence from the tour, while everyone thought his career was coming to an end, and he won the AO! Amazing player! For me, the goat debate will go on forever, because each one of them has achieved crazy records over the years and they are all goats in different ways. We should stop comparing them and try to enjoy them, while they are still active. I don't have much faith in the next-gen and I hope they prove me wrong.
Federer Always has so much Pressure on him to WIN no matter Who he is playing that it is Very Palpable...He is so ADORED that anything short of a Win is a Big let down...Nadal/Djokovic never had to deal with the Level of Pressure Federer has to endure
Roger is like watching Borishnikov, it's ballet on the tennis court. Maestro at work. Blessed to see that dude play. Goodbye roger and have an awesome retirement. Game is not the same without you...
Looking back, I can’t believe it was his backhand that saved him on key points, especially at the end. It’s when he started to flatten it out and drive it, taking away time for Nadal
my god at 13:20 federer made something amazing i dont know english word for italian controbalzo.....when you hit the ball as soon as it bounced off the surface, (half volley?) he did it 3-4 times in a row
It's too close to call. Can't say from a slowed-down video. Rafa should have challenged it since it was such a crucial point - had he run out of challenges or something?
What an amazing final. I hadn't seen such an amazing gs match since their last meeting in the us open 2019 final. We all thought Daniil would win in straight sets and it was so sad seeing Rafa making so many unforced errors but somehow he managed to turn this around. Just amazing!! And just like Roger in the same age, he came back after a 6-month absence, while everyone thought his career was coming to an end. The greatest fighter ever!!

That backhand was insane. Nadal has struggles with hard backhands from him like 2:26

Best game ever!

Haha joker goat!
6:57 incredible from Roger Federer
What a beautiful friendship/rivalry. Hope to see this with Alcaraz and Sinner now ❤
That inside out at 5-3 30-40 is synonymous with the Inside out he hit against Tommy haas at RG in ‘09
my god i was thinking the same even before the point came I said this is the same as that one. Roger's most clutch forehands ever, also the one from wimby 07 was super clutch and a thing of sheer beauty.
I know Nadal has more wins than Roger
but for me, Roger
will always be the GOAT because of his
graceful styles and his demeanors on
and off the court. But I am also a huge
fan of Nadal and Novak too!!
And Federer's victories were more evenly distributed across the various surfaces. Nadal shined best on clay.
I am the 4800 suscriber :)
Roger and Rafa are the bests. Novak too.
Thank you for the great editing!!

where was this against hurkazc? :(
can't expect the same level he showed as a fit 35-year-old compared to a 40 year old with injured knees. that is unfortunately the truth :(
Federer is the greatest sports man I have ever seen.
At minute 12:00 is not out... play it at 0.25 velocity , that point was decisive
It's too close to call. Can't say from a slowed-down video. Rafa should have challenged it since it was such a crucial point - had he run out of challenges or something?
Game of the gods!
long live king Roger! ❤❤❤
Who's watching after AO2022?
What an amazing final. I hadn't seen such an amazing gs match since their last meeting in the us open 2019 final.

And just like Roger in the same age, he came back after a 6-month absence, while everyone thought his career was coming to an end. The greatest fighter ever!!
Un juego épico, Federer se dio revancha con Nadal en AO, le falto solamente con Djokovic en Wimbledon.
Federer Brand lives forever just like Jordan Brand. Tennis is a great sport
У Рафы после спада в 2015-2016 годах,форхенд больше так не летит,как раньше,зато появилась стабильность в подаче и ударе с бэкхенда.
hard to believe this was the last time Roger tasted victory at the top of the mountain
Unreal
Nadal would always bully federer’s backhand. This match you can see that Federer was stepping in and ripping it back at Nadal
how come they are wearing same colors?
Two Monsters !!!
god damn this tennis is fucking thrilling
