Rafa and Roger locked horns in an AO classic earlier that year and then went on cheering for one another like nothing happened. Shows how great of a friendship and love they have for each other.
There first 2 matches was 6 sets total of tie breaks. Federer ran away with the h2h but I’m sure even after the first 2 matches, there were many tie breaks
For some reason when I see Kyrgios I imagine him as a kind of guy who’s just naturally good at every sport and one day saw Federer on TV and thought “I can beat him” and went pro over night 😂
Man Kyrios is one of those guys you sit back and ask yourself how good could this guy be if he had the hunger and love for the game like the others Nick should have won that match absolutely an amazing talent to push Federer..
I think part of the reason Kyrgios makes so many great plays is the fact the he presents as though it really doesn't matter to him so he can swing away freely without concern for the outcome. That can also work against him when it comes to battling someone with the heart that Federer consistently expresses. When facing a man of solid character a renegade tends to be put off their rhythm when faced with the question - who wants it more.
Should've won? Should? Haha. There are no shoulds in tennis. Much less at that level. There was one of the two greatest tennis players of all time. The other cheering up for him. And on the other side of the court a mentally ill boy with rockstar super ego. Nite nite Nick 😂😂
You can look at it that way his one of very few from his age group to say he has wins against the three greatest tennis players we have been lucky enough to see..
@@78tagnick definitely wanted it more. Can you not see the man battling against one the greatest players of all time, fighting tooth and nail for every point, and then nearly brought to tears 28:58 at the letdown for his team.
Living precariously on the edge of Roger's racquet with Rafa doing triple duty as coach, cheerleader & conductor. Was this war? It goes without saying that the level of play & competitiveness matched the increasing decibels of cheers & groans from all around. The editing was superb. Thanks for the effort. ❤
Dick Krybabios is ALWAYS the biggest a-hole on the tennis court 😂 plus with all the tacky gold chains he looks like some kind of Greek pimp with a bad attitude 😆
Nick is a very talented player who doesn’t take the sport very seriously but man wta match it was… rafa supporting his long term rival roger is merry to the eyes. This shows how a rivalry can turn into a beautiful friendship
When Kyrgios is in the zone the only thing you can do is get him to make unforced errors and get him frustrated. Cause when he is feeling it, his normal balls all hit like incredible serves themselves. And ironically, his own service it's like a machine. When he is feeling it, he returns an incredibly good serve with a return that's even faster and more dangerous. With Federer he doesn't have to complete at his peak feeling it, he can be mediocre and return most balls that aren't the dangerous ones. And after a while Kyrgios will get mad, take more risks, hate himself for it and instead of being content with playing longer rally's he goes ahead and still does his second serves like first ones, and doesn't block fast serves, but does the flick of the wrist.
@@harold3619he has always been a team player although he hates Kyrgios. I hate Kyrgios too with , can’t stand his spitting on court and out of the blue meltdown
When ever I saw a channel where ROGER FEDERER is playing, I feel breath taking moments. And the true bond, Love 💕 , devotion and the level of Respect between RAFA n FEDERER is life changing . ❤❤❤❤❤❤
love him or hate him. he may not have the grand slams, but you gotta admit nk is one of the most gifted and most entertaining tennis players we've ever seen
Kyrgios dominated the match, but Federer clung on with relentless determination. In the end, he emerged victorious, proving that winning is second nature for true champions, even in the face of adversity.
We will probably never see another beautiful single-handed backhand again. Roger said himself that if he had to learn tennis again he'd probably use a double-handed backhand.
100% not true. the limitation of the backhand before was getting the weight and inertia of the wooden racket moving in time to contact the ball in front. i would more say that both styles will be used by the same player in the future depending on the situation. Federer proved that the one-handed backhand can do everything that the two can and it offers more reach and less energy consumption.
@terrenceolivido741 100% true that Fed said that. I disagree that the one-handed backhand can do exactly what a double-handed backhand can on a consistent basis for individual players, same for the other way around. But I still believe one can be a top 5 player with a single handed backhand in the future. Anyway that's not what the og post was about.
@@terrenceolivido741 Why are there only a few players in the first hundred with one handed backhand then, if it "can do everything that the two can and it offers more reach and less energy consumption." and causes wrist injuries?
@@pinhe4d321 ok ...., the truth is the one-handed backhand will require 3 times more training time to master than the two. it is true that if you are young your body can withstand the extra work and stress of the two-hander . Federer proved what the one-hander can do in modern tennis. i have no problem using combinations of the two. what about a right handed and left handed forehand for that matter ( switch hands ) Monica Seles used a reverse grip on her backhand. she hit two handed from both sides. my main point is the one-hand backhand - while hardest to master - results in the most beautiful body positions. you can snear at that if you want. as far as you and your peers - you could ask - " if being smart were an advantage, how come me and my buddies out-reproduce everyone ? same point - though you will probably not be able to understand it.
@@terrenceolivido741 I think you guys both have good points but that this discussion is a lot more technical than even you guys got into. Let's agree that some sports simply have space for multiple styles. I personally LOVE me some reverse backhand penhold in table tennis, but that doesn't mean it is better than shakehand. Consistency probably is the most important trait of any sport. And a smidge of luck
These were tennis gods, even Mac and Borg were exilarated!!! Was this as good as the Wimbledon final of 2008? Its matches like this that make you take up the sport!!! Your comments!
Have to add after seeing this that Kyrios is more a team player, he was definitely playing 4 the guys & no temperament flair ups…very very cool & you could see that was hard 4 him at times. What a pity he couldn’t hold it together for his own games 🧐. 🆒👍🏻💯
I don't like Nick, but honestly, if he always had tried as hard as he did in this game, who knows what he might achieved in his career. And God, how i miss Federer's single handed backhand... Thanks for posting, awesome editing!
I firmly believe if Kyrgios regularly saw a sports psychologist and figured out how to channel that emotion in a healthier way, he would be up there with the best
without overstating: for me, the matches with NK are the most entertaining to watch within the whole tennis sport. if he had a better mental strength, he would have been near to unbeatable.
the master looks old - but he is undisputably the greatest of all time. ... kudos to djokavich and nadal. love to see my old masters, Borg and Mcenroe hanging out with the kids.
Federer did what he had to ..didn't try to outhit kyrios who was playing well..he used his experience especially towards the end with percentage play..he knew unforced errors would make the difference
Kyrgios just had a slit as a commentator during the US Open semi-finals. He definitely has a career in broadcasting after tennis. He a natural. He’s a great communicator. He has an incredibly high tennis IQ. And he’s incredibly charismatic! Great job Nick. Love you as a player too so don’t retire any time soon!
at 4:16 the point should have gone to federer because before the second bounce Nick was already touching the net. And that was game point for Nick. Strange they didn't call it
Kyrgios mostly a servebot. The rest of his game is by no means on the level of the topplayers. Guys like Karlovic and Isner were also hard to break on the fast surfaces and they also played a lot of tiebreakers. Most people think Kyrgios is a great talent, but playing umorthodox tennis doesn't mean that you are incredibly talented. In most cases it means that you don't have enough talent to win by "normal" tennis.
Two polar opposites, and it was those totally opposed aspects that made for totally opposite career arcs. Federer was the consummate professional who loved the game as much as any ever has. He has the utmost character and skills to go with his relentless desire to improve and win. Kyrgios has a sh** personality and character, crap discipline, and was satisfied being the talented hotdog ham.

all the best romances have some fights here and there
He was blowing seed inside him
smiled throughout the whole match - what a great match from both.
Kyrgios hate eveyone who beats him he is a real loser i think this guy should make a therapy
What a contrast of beautiful talents - raw, crude Aussie v/s refined, elegant Swiss.
Federer vs Kyrgios is an Underrated Rivalry . Wish we got more of their matches
They played at Miami a few years before Fed retired I think...look it up, incredible match - super close
There first 2 matches was 6 sets total of tie breaks. Federer ran away with the h2h but I’m sure even after the first 2 matches, there were many tie breaks
Krygios is no match on a young RF.
No one wants to see more of Dick Krybabios, he's ALWAYS the biggest a-hole on the court
dont like kyrgios tho. he is lowkey toxic
feeling grateful that Roger put together this team event. It is special to see the drama unfold here.
For some reason when I see Kyrgios I imagine him as a kind of guy who’s just naturally good at every sport and one day saw Federer on TV and thought “I can beat him” and went pro over night 😂
Yeah he is naturally talented and gifted but mentally very weak
@@mokaddemabderrahim6119he battles himself.
@@jeffwhite1334 he’s a fun player. Great to watch.
An embarrassment to Aussie tennis. Wish he would just disappear. Sad that i wanted Federer to win really
😂😂
No doubting Federer's class, but by God is the little Aussie firecracker good to watch too. Great match.

😂😂😂
When Kyrios played drama free tennis he was as good as the 3 kings .
true his biggest oppunent was himself. he had the talent be one of the best but not the mental health.
never happened lol
man id cry too if the match ended like that with the greatest players of all time watching
Even though I knew the result it still had me on the edge of my seat 😁😁
for a moment i forgot the result and i was dying not knowing who would win
Kyrgios's serve is next to perfection. Jeez! just like the speed of light.
His ball toss is so consistent opps can’t read it it’s so crazy
Closest to Isner
Except - it never won him a single GS. Which tells you, an incredible serve alone isnt getting you anywhere...
Dick Krybabios is ALWAYS the biggest a-hole on the tennis court 😂 plus with all the tacky gold chains he looks like some kind of Greek pimp with a bad attitude 😆
It's about 1.078e+9 slower than the speed of light =p
I am from rest of the world. But my heart wanted Roger to win!! He patiently hung on till the end.. What a game. ❤

Yeah extremely talented and naturally gifted but mentally he is very weak
If he had what it takes mentally he could’ve beat the shit out of everybody big 3 included
NK is super talented he just needs to be focused. Never seen anyone play like him before. Rocket.
Nick is not hitting the ball, he launches rockets 🚀. What a pleasure to watch him play!

Surprised Nick kept going for his backhand. Roger’s cross court backhand is killer
the black and white court against the red and blue clothes looks really badass
That environment was electric
Here during US OPEN 2024 😂

Goodday. Speak to me,I am nearer. Cobus🐳
Federer is the undisputed Grandseigneur of tennis. And Kyrgios is hell of talented, like probably nobody was.
First view on this channel. I do appreciate the colors. This might be a good thing because it's easier to view. I like the color contrast.
Glad you enjoyed it buddy
Muchas gracias !!! Qué partidos... Qué tiempos !!!
Jajaja ganar a kyrgios... No hay nada mejor jajaja qué mal perder tenía 😅😂😂🤣😂🤣🎾
Great channel!!!!!
Good thing Mac was there to cool the Greek’s jets.
Rafa is Federer biggest hype man, I have never seen such rivalry between 2 great sportsmen support and care for each other as much.
had me whisper yelling at the screen lmao
I don't like Nick, but honestly, if he always had tried as hard as he did in this game, who knows what he might achieved in his career.
And God, how i miss Federer's single handed backhand...
Thanks for posting, awesome editing!

The thrill of Victory (28:44) and the agony of defeat (28:58)
what a match!

This is the best match I’ve seen Kyrgios play!!!!!!! I love federa and Rafa but I will always back my Aussie
3x watching this historic classics tennis game
Amazing quality
Glad you liked it ❤️
the whistle from nicks dad is so unique^^
We love to see it!
i miss roger very much
I remember this match, Davis Cup, a true epic. Kurios was devasted when he lost and the Europeans won.
The Goat will ever be Federer and Nadal ❤
kyrgios was crazy good 🎉
Cant be a better ending for a Laver cup, can be?!
i didnt know, Fed , Nadal, even Nick, took the laver cup seriously, its not a exhib
Roger the Great Man❤
Roger could probably come out of retirement tomorrow and make it to the semis of Wimbledon.
yoooo the ending edit was dope af why did those bubbles pop out so early
Rare footage of Nick actually trying
And not even %100 😅
Boy oh boy how i miss seeing Federer’s backhand w only one hand
Rafa’s passion for Roger😍
I firmly believe if Kyrgios regularly saw a sports psychologist and figured out how to channel that emotion in a healthier way, he would be up there with the best
Narcissists don’t change even with therapy.
it was kyrgios’a game to win, and his to lose. He just happened to be playing with Federer.
Kyrios being nice, wow.
the only Rivalry of Kyrgios is with himself, sadly
Federer knows how to make men cry..
Nick 😢
Welcome relief from US Open, watching Djokovic let Derek appear to win😅
Kyrgios's such a beast!!
A narcissist for sure!
kyrgios at his finest. he went downturn since then.
without overstating: for me, the matches with NK are the most entertaining to watch within the whole tennis sport.

Close but no cigar, Kyrgios.. 💪RF
gosh i miss roger!

This match felt like Daniel son fighting against Cobra Kai 😂
Is there something wrong with the image contrast on this video or am I tripping?
