@@Stefan92-sb4vy This post is about Novak's best year ever, 2015. Of course, Federer played amazingly against him on 20+ other occasions, but he's showing how he still managed to beat him several times during Novak's best year (the only one who beat him more than once in 2015).

@@naeemulhassan3664 For many people, such as myself, the sport only has value when it's transformed into something pure, and the post 2010 5 hour baseline endurance slugfests were not the sport at its best.

No disrespect for Djoko or any other GS Champions. RF always looked different from others. Absolute pleasure n treat to watch him. If he was in full flow - nothing could be better than him.
sure, i commented similar above. it is devastating to watch RF on-his-game glide thru a match with a precision and grace that destroys all pretenders. some say this other guy has the best one-handed backhand in history. i have watched it and i want to vomit when comparing its elegance to RF. RF is a quintesstial Swiss dream.
Even after 2012, the prime Djokovic still struggled battling against an aging Federer. If anyone knows and plays tennis at a high level, he would know how much brutal the prime Federer ever played.🎉
Out of these 3 wins, only one came at the big tournament. 1 came at the masters 500 event, and 1 in the round robin of atp finals, only to be avenged soon after that. Kind of describes their rivalry perfectly, interesting matches, great clash of styles, but if it's a final or a semifinal of a big tournament, odds are Djokovic is going home with a smile.
I dont want to start some stupid argument, but I have to say that when I watch performances like Fed's in the Cincinnati final, shown here, I feel like that is as great as tennis will ever be played. "Majestic" is the first word that pops into my mind. Roger will always be my favorite, no question.
Unless you played tennis and watched it in the 90s. I miss that flat shot, short rally and serve and volley tennis. You also didn't have to be as fit and could still win back then.

@@aisthpaoitht what does that even mean, the highest peak level ever, even after I cited all the losses, and I didn't even mention the many times he lost to Nadal, especially at the French open! great player,, he's not the goat. the real tennis fans, the astute fans like myself know who the goat is....C'MON ....SAY IT WITH ME...NOVAK DJOKOVIC!!!
Noo, he is not maybe the most beautifull to.watch and talented gift but not the best. He does not lead.the most importante parameters of tenis like slams Big titles
You know sometimes i feel i can never explain the upcoming generation, the generation after 2020 how good was Roger Federer As a player i know how brutal he was while playing but at the very same time maintaining his elegance and class I feel u can never see that class in any other player Today Djokovic is on the top maybe 50 years down the line someone else will be but i don't think so anyone will have that leve of effortless tennis
I'm glad you can take comfort in these wins, after 40-15, makes it a bit easier to bear, but it will never fully take the pain away! Still, Federer could and should be on 25+ slams now.

Roger is the GOAT, the other two candidates were doping. The Lance Armstrong from the Balkans has been doping since 2010 and the ATP is still allowing him to play. Roger had dignity, and he was the best Tennis player ever. Roger is Legit.
Can you or somebody upload the full match like full highlights of the 2015 rr London against Djokovic that match was awesome to watch I'd like to see the full highlights of that one Federer played invincible that match.
Difference is that age 31-40 federer had to play against prime DJOKER, prime Nadal and prime murray and prime wawrinka... Novak turned 31 in 2018. He since has had to play no more murray or wawrinka, end career nadal and end career federer... Basically alacaraz and tsistipas and Medvedev etc.. thats difference final tally
If this is what a declined Federer could do to a prime Djokovic, imagine what prime Federer would do to him, Nole is lucky he came after Federer's best years. Two of the greatest players ever nonetheless.
Prime federer was getting embarased by a teen nadal on hard courts jajajaja. Federer is the lucky one. Without the bagdathis, philipousis and rodicks of the world he wouldnt have one a third of what he did. He had several free years before nadal came to the scenes and djokovic reached his level.
Also prime federer has a negative h2h record against baby murray jajajajaja. Del potro being so young did what rodick coudnt do in his hole life... What a weak era he had full of mediocre players that are constantly overrated by federer fans
Like it or not, Federer is the most elegant and beautiful tennis player of all time. Yes purely on numbers Novak is the greatest but Roger also have outstanding numbers. Roger had all the shots in the book. Novaks mental toughness is something to be commended. And yes another great player, Rafa is also there. All three are great players. Even though I admire all 3, Personally I am a federer fan as I started watching tennis regularly after watching him play
Increíbles los 3 partidos de RF, pero lo más sorprendente es como Djokovic se tomó revancha ganándole a Roger en el siguiente torneo. RF ganó Dubai , luego perdió la final de Indian Wells RF ganó Cincinnati luego perdió la final del Us Open RF ganó en RR del WTF, luego perdió la final del mismo torneo.
Djokovic in 2015 beat Roger 5 times: Indian Wells Final, Rome Final, Wimbledon Final, Us Open Final, Atp Finals Final And when he lost these 3 matches then he took his revenge in most important events Loss in Dubai final, Revenge In indian Wells Final Loss in Cincinnati final, Revenge in US Open Final Loss in RR at the atp finals, Revenge in the final of that event....
Always found it funny that in Novak's best season ever he was susceptible to a 33 year old Fed on fast courts, and in Roger's best season he was susceptible to a 19 year old Rafa on slow courts - like yeah they're incredible but doesn't mean they're going to win every time
Novak Djokovic The greatest tennis player. The greatest of all time! GOAT! Federer is only the third. This should be recognized by all fans of the third Federer. But, Federer fans do not recognize the obvious.
اقسم بالله عندما اشاهد لقاءات فيدرير مع جوكوفيتش كأنها حصص تدريبيّة للسويسري خاصة عندما يكون متكامل ذهنياً تجده يتلاعب بالخصم و يجعله هاويا !! ليس هناك من هو افضل من فيدرير مهما وصلت أرقامهم - فلو فازت ايطاليا في كأس العالم 1994 لزادت من رصيدها نجمة و لم تزدد البرازيل نجمة - فلا اعتقد انه من العدل القياس على الارقام لأن ايطاليا خسرت نجمة بسبب ركلة جزاء !!!!!! يبقى الحكم للأفضل و الأكثر متعة 😊
There are 2 correct statements: 1) Roger managed to beat Novak 3 times when 2) Djokovic had one of the best years ever on ATP. In light of that and Roger's overall greatness, that Novak's year is probably top 3 years in the history of ATP. They played 8 times, H2H was 5:3 Djokovic. They played 7 finals and one RR irrelevant match that neither guy had to win. Djokovic chose to play Nadal in the SF by losing RR match. Nadal had a bad year overall and Novak even beat him in Roland Garros QF that year. He avoided Wawrinka who had beaten Novak at FO final earlier that year. Roger on the other hand had been a kryptonite for Stan the Man. That means it 5:2 in finals. Doha final is the least important in those finals. That makes it 5:1. That one in Cincinnati was a big win for Roger just a week before US Open but could be cancelled with either Novak's wins at 2 ATP 1000: Rome or Indian Wells. Clear 4:0 for Novak in Big finals US Open, Wimbledon, ATP Finals and 1 ATP 1000 that Year. After all, Novak could not possibly have won ALL the titles he contested, could he?
roger still loses the important matchs ! wins dubai final and loses indian wells final wins cincinnati final and loses us open final wins round robin match and loses the final
The only other loss that wasn't from the BIG 3 (total of 5 losses from Murray, Federer and Rawrinka combined) in this 2015 season was the very first tournament at the Qatar Open, by none other than DR. IVO KARLOVIC!
Past their peaks, samprass,aggasi and many others couldnt not win against the young players federer included, fast forward fed is well past his peak but surprisingly new gen and peak djo find it difficult to defeat him... thats the class...
Today’s game favors novaks game. Slower courts allows players like Novak to play like he dose. However a true fast court favors players like Federer who has that attacking game. This is why Federer would be the only player to have a chance against Sampras and Becker in the 90s
These are great but here are the matches I believe Fed should have won at least ONE of: Wim 2015, USO 2015, Wim 2019. That would have really cemented his GOAT status. As it stands, it's a bit difficult since he couldn't beat Nole at a Slam since 2012.
The US Open final against Delpotro was a tough loss. Its not always been easy being a Federer fan with some of those finals loses but from the perspective of artistry and what I consider the best tennis I've ever seen in the last 35 years I've been watching the Sport, it's Roger Federer at the top. Each to their own.
Just a little correction: it was Murray who finished number 2 in 2015. Not that I thought it was the right ending for the season, but Roger ended number 3
Moral of the story based on the Theory of Federer Fans .... If Federer finished with 24 Slams and Nadal with 22 and Djokovic with 20, he would be the undisputed GOAT and Nadal 2nd and Djokovic 3rd. If Federer ends up with 20 Slams, Nadal 22 and Djokovic 24, he would still be the undisputed GOAT, do you know why? Because when the numbers have been exceeded, what matters is the elegance of the game. So dont waste your time with these people, Djokovic is the same era of his 2 Biggest Rivals(1 year by rafa and 4 and half of Federer) and beat all of them to make your Kingdom. The Big 3 is Legendary, but in the end... the story speaks itself #.
They talk garbage about Federer, but let's not forget that he was Novak's consistently toughest competitor out of all others. So how does that make him a "weak era" player?
I’m not a fan of pink on anything except stuff on women, ribbons for cancer awareness and to celebrate Mother’s Day but this pink with the faded blue shorts is, IMO, Federer’s second best outfit ever (after all black US Open “Darth Federer”).
Correction: Roger ended the year ranked #3 in the world. Murray was second. Sorry guys, only realized it after I published the video :(
Here we're missing 2 clinical performances from Fed.

@@aisthpaoitht what does that even mean, the highest peak level ever, even after I cited all the losses, and I didn't even mention the many times he lost to Nadal, especially at the French open! great player,, he's not the goat. the real tennis fans, the astute fans like myself know who the goat is....C'MON ....SAY IT WITH ME...NOVAK DJOKOVIC!!!
@@aisthpaoitht OH, REMEMBER 40-15 IN 2019.......😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣still hurts I bet!
God i miss this guy soo bad 😭
Yeah same here🙂
Federer is 👑 #Period
Majestic!!
Yessirr
Maestro of tennis 👍😍
Yes Angela 😃
Those beautiful routes and shots will show up no more. Tennis was perfected with him, and died with his retirement.
:(
Tennis will never be the same without him.
Alcaraz seems very Federer-ish in his talent to be honest.
RF was always the alpha male on the court. Even his opponents marveled at his shots.
And thats why roger is the best player of all time
Noo, he is not maybe the most beautifull to.watch and talented gift but not the best. He does not lead.the most importante parameters of tenis like slams Big titles
@@Logan00710 In the 2010+ era.
Love him with no word…. Hope he could come back again 😅
You know sometimes i feel i can never explain the upcoming generation, the generation after 2020 how good was Roger Federer
As a player i know how brutal he was while playing but at the very same time maintaining his elegance and class
I feel u can never see that class in any other player
Today Djokovic is on the top maybe 50 years down the line someone else will be but i don't think so anyone will have that leve of effortless tennis
I'm glad you can take comfort in these wins, after 40-15, makes it a bit easier to bear, but it will never fully take the pain away! Still, Federer could and should be on 25+ slams now.
Thank you for the comforting words Paul ♥️
@@RogerThatTennis Yes, Alcaraz is the saviour- I know Federer talking about he'd like to see Novak break his records, I'm sure deep down, he's thanking God Alcaraz won Wimbledon, if only he got 9, he wouldn't be under so much pressure! Hoping for a miracle come back next year, or even at U.S. Open, this is Federer after all!
@@pauljohnson6019 Lol Djokovic has all the records, what's the difference for one more? Federer is enjoying his retirement and it's way easier to cheer for your opponent when you don't have to face them.
@@vijayla21 Federer knows he should be on 9 Wimbledons, deep down, he still feels shock, shock is something that never leaves you, and trauma, I've heard he was crying for months, after that devastating loss, the real reason, why he retired.

That year Nole won 2 GS finals vs Federer. Enough said.
@animatronicosangriento that and next year Djokovic lost 2 GS finals vs Wawrinka. Enough said.
@@wimgroart1870 Not true. Never the same year.
@@animatronicosangriento is losing 1 GS final versus an older Wawrinka in the best year of Djokovic not astonishing? And in the next year again?
@@wimgroart1870 What are you talking about? Wawrinka was a good player, that's it. Djokovic has more GS than Federer and Stan combined. What it's your point?
@@animatronicosangriento point is that Wawrinka vs Djokovic 2-0 in GS finals.
GOAT Nole appreciated Roger to warm him up and won IW,USO and ATP final big titles subsequently.BTW they're top-2 so only met in finals of tournaments
2011 Djokovic > 2015 Djokovic
2015 Djokovic's season > 2011 Djokovic's season
Yep, agree!
Agree. Well said 👌
agree, the level of competition in 2011 is unmatched.
2012 Djokovic > 2011 Djokovic
2012 Djokovic season < 2011 Djokovic season
But
2012 competition > 2011 competition
federer was born with the eight ball. he kept two of them with him, and the other six were called infinity stones.
Roger is the GOAT, the other two candidates were doping. The Lance Armstrong from the Balkans has been doping since 2010 and the ATP is still allowing him to play. Roger had dignity, and he was the best Tennis player ever. Roger is Legit.
Can you or somebody upload the full match like full highlights of the 2015 rr London against Djokovic that match was awesome to watch I'd like to see the full highlights of that one Federer played invincible that match.
I’ll try one day
The thing is Novak on their most important matches that year, including two grand slam finals and the ATP finals along with two masters 1000s finals
Nothing like watching Federer play. Except maybe watching Michael Jordan.
Two goats!

@@belakovacs5765and messi
Fed was and still is the standard of artistry and excellence. He made most look like they shouldn’t have quit there day job
THE MAESTRO
Yessirr
Difference is that age 31-40 federer had to play against prime DJOKER, prime Nadal and prime murray and prime wawrinka...
Novak turned 31 in 2018. He since has had to play no more murray or wawrinka, end career nadal and end career federer...
Basically alacaraz and tsistipas and Medvedev etc.. thats difference final tally
Man, I miss watching tennis like this.
It'll come back one day
It was beautiful!
Hopefully!
@@rupertgordonii6623that’s the day I’ll start watching again lol
@hafadaze9046 it's going to come back, sooner than you think haha
It’s a shame he got the short end of the stick at the grand slams; that made all the difference in the goat debate
10:50 INSANE!
Yessir 🙏🏻
If this is what a declined Federer could do to a prime Djokovic, imagine what prime Federer would do to him, Nole is lucky he came after Federer's best years. Two of the greatest players ever nonetheless.
Bro if prime Federer went up against prime djoko especially on hard courts not even a question lol
Prime federer was getting embarased by a teen nadal on hard courts jajajaja. Federer is the lucky one. Without the bagdathis, philipousis and rodicks of the world he wouldnt have one a third of what he did. He had several free years before nadal came to the scenes and djokovic reached his level.
Also prime federer has a negative h2h record against baby murray jajajajaja. Del potro being so young did what rodick coudnt do in his hole life... What a weak era he had full of mediocre players that are constantly overrated by federer fans
It's true, but this is the most TRIGGERING thing to your crazy eyed Djoker fans, look at that guy commenting above my comment, you got under his skin.
Like it or not, Federer is the most elegant and beautiful tennis player of all time. Yes purely on numbers Novak is the greatest but Roger also have outstanding numbers. Roger had all the shots in the book. Novaks mental toughness is something to be commended. And yes another great player, Rafa is also there. All three are great players. Even though I admire all 3, Personally I am a federer fan as I started watching tennis regularly after watching him play
I agree with you! :)
Best offensive player ever for sure 😮
Increíbles los 3 partidos de RF, pero lo más sorprendente es como Djokovic se tomó revancha ganándole a Roger en el siguiente torneo.
RF ganó Dubai , luego perdió la final de Indian Wells
RF ganó Cincinnati luego perdió la final del Us Open
RF ganó en RR del WTF, luego perdió la final del mismo torneo.
Si brother 🥲
6:12 Look at it, it's just the most beautiful motion.
Djokovic in 2015 beat Roger 5 times:
Indian Wells Final, Rome Final, Wimbledon Final, Us Open Final, Atp Finals Final
And when he lost these 3 matches then he took his revenge in most important events
Loss in Dubai final, Revenge In indian Wells Final
Loss in Cincinnati final, Revenge in US Open Final
Loss in RR at the atp finals, Revenge in the final of that event....
Djokovic can't play like Federer even in his dreams.
😂😂😂 i love fed, but im too realistic to say that nole won all and the head to head with my boy u.u
Claro que el GOAT NOVAK DJOKOVIC no puede jugar como el terceron juega mucho mejor y lo ha ganado todo y más veces
Always found it funny that in Novak's best season ever he was susceptible to a 33 year old Fed on fast courts, and in Roger's best season he was susceptible to a 19 year old Rafa on slow courts - like yeah they're incredible but doesn't mean they're going to win every time
Novak Djokovic The greatest tennis player. The greatest of all time! GOAT!
Federer is only the third. This should be recognized by all fans of the third Federer.
But, Federer fans do not recognize the obvious.
him and nadal were the nightmare of the GOAT Djokovic !
Healthy Roger is untouched
lets not forget the myth, the legend of 40-15😅😅😅😅
At 9:24 RF hit a cross court sliding winner v. Djoker, using his great opponent’s signature shot in a winning match!!
2012 was Djokovic's best year in terms of game quality.
There was better competition than 2011 that's why it's not as clear.
The scream at 4:07. That could be any of us 😂😂😂
Hahaha
اقسم بالله عندما اشاهد لقاءات فيدرير مع جوكوفيتش كأنها حصص تدريبيّة للسويسري خاصة عندما يكون متكامل ذهنياً تجده يتلاعب بالخصم و يجعله هاويا !!
ليس هناك من هو افضل من فيدرير مهما وصلت أرقامهم - فلو فازت ايطاليا في كأس العالم 1994 لزادت من رصيدها نجمة و لم تزدد البرازيل نجمة - فلا اعتقد انه من العدل القياس على الارقام لأن ايطاليا خسرت نجمة بسبب ركلة جزاء !!!!!!
يبقى الحكم للأفضل و الأكثر متعة 😊
There are 2 correct statements: 1) Roger managed to beat Novak 3 times when 2) Djokovic had one of the best years ever on ATP. In light of that and Roger's overall greatness, that Novak's year is probably top 3 years in the history of ATP. They played 8 times, H2H was 5:3 Djokovic. They played 7 finals and one RR irrelevant match that neither guy had to win. Djokovic chose to play Nadal in the SF by losing RR match. Nadal had a bad year overall and Novak even beat him in Roland Garros QF that year. He avoided Wawrinka who had beaten Novak at FO final earlier that year. Roger on the other hand had been a kryptonite for Stan the Man. That means it 5:2 in finals. Doha final is the least important in those finals. That makes it 5:1. That one in Cincinnati was a big win for Roger just a week before US Open but could be cancelled with either Novak's wins at 2 ATP 1000: Rome or Indian Wells. Clear 4:0 for Novak in Big finals US Open, Wimbledon, ATP Finals and 1 ATP 1000 that Year. After all, Novak could not possibly have won ALL the titles he contested, could he?
Imagine making a whole video against another player (the GOAT) to support the choker federer
Imagine liking your own comment
Jealousy identified, personified. 😂 Keep choking on your 2021 US Open final dead fish 😂
You are right! Djokovic used to beat when Federer chocked.
In my opinio Neo Backhand started in 2015 but didn't meet Nadal enough times to showcase it
Yep, his backhand was great in 2015 already. Rafa had a terrible year sadly
@@RogerThatTennis 15 Fed is basically 17 Fed without near peak Djoko
roger still loses the important matchs !
wins dubai final and loses indian wells final
wins cincinnati final and loses us open final
wins round robin match and loses the final
This is sad and true. Wimbledon final 2019 was the biggest loss!
Man, can’t even argue against that. I was doing the video and kept thinking about the same thing. Frustrating for Roger fans :/
That was a tough one Marc!
@@RogerThatTennis I cried a lot!
No.. Dont say that Roger's mentality is weak openly. He will remain THE GREATEST for us roger fans
When Fed is on attacking mode, no one can survive. Only Djoker can last until tiebreak
Agreed!
lol Tsonga survived him in Wimbledon 2011
As we already know, peRFect.
Yessirr
Federer = Elegance!!
Yessir!
Hate to say this but he (Roger) lost the most important one: wb19 (with the still hurtful 40-1.......) 😔
The only other loss that wasn't from the BIG 3 (total of 5 losses from Murray, Federer and Rawrinka combined) in this 2015 season was the very first tournament at the Qatar Open, by none other than DR. IVO KARLOVIC!
Past their peaks, samprass,aggasi and many others couldnt not win against the young players federer included, fast forward fed is well past his peak but surprisingly new gen and peak djo find it difficult to defeat him... thats the class...
is it just me or the courts look slower in atp finals?
Today’s game favors novaks game. Slower courts allows players like Novak to play like he dose. However a true fast court favors players like Federer who has that attacking game. This is why Federer would be the only player to have a chance against Sampras and Becker in the 90s
Prime Federer is the best ever. Also at the Nittro 2019 Federer gave Djokovic a tennislesson.
He was the most tallented of Big three by far away
He would change all these victories for those in grand slam against Nole i bet
good
These are great but here are the matches I believe Fed should have won at least ONE of: Wim 2015, USO 2015, Wim 2019. That would have really cemented his GOAT status. As it stands, it's a bit difficult since he couldn't beat Nole at a Slam since 2012.
The US Open final against Delpotro was a tough loss. Its not always been easy being a Federer fan with some of those finals loses but from the perspective of artistry and what I consider the best tennis I've ever seen in the last 35 years I've been watching the Sport, it's Roger Federer at the top. Each to their own.
NCYGS 2015 Wimbledon 🐐 destroyed Federer in the final 2015 US Open 🐐 destroyed Federer in the final 2016 AO 2016 Roland Garros let that sink in
Why you look so mad
@@can_snoww3070 rather factual
lo vi caer muchas - no tantas - veces a Roger: pero jamás lo vi aplastado
Pffff..goooooood nightttttt
Just a little correction: it was Murray who finished number 2 in 2015. Not that I thought it was the right ending for the season, but Roger ended number 3
Yessir, I put a pinned comment correcting it as well 🙌🏼
Djokovic is the greatest ever and Federer is the best ever. (Although I feel these kind of labels are quite reductive)
Moral of the story based on the Theory of Federer Fans ....
If Federer finished with 24 Slams and Nadal with 22 and Djokovic with 20, he would be the undisputed GOAT and Nadal 2nd and Djokovic 3rd.
If Federer ends up with 20 Slams, Nadal 22 and Djokovic 24, he would still be the undisputed GOAT, do you know why? Because when the numbers have been exceeded, what matters is the elegance of the game.
So dont waste your time with these people, Djokovic is the same era of his 2 Biggest Rivals(1 year by rafa and 4 and half of Federer) and beat all of them to make your Kingdom.
The Big 3 is Legendary, but in the end... the story speaks itself #.
They talk garbage about Federer, but let's not forget that he was Novak's consistently toughest competitor out of all others. So how does that make him a "weak era" player?
I’m not a fan of pink on anything except stuff on women, ribbons for cancer awareness and to celebrate Mother’s Day but this pink with the faded blue shorts is, IMO, Federer’s second best outfit ever (after all black US Open “Darth Federer”).
Fed is the 🐐
