That's why Roger is the GOAT. He's an artist, going for creative shots and plays to win points, rather than just hunker down hitting baseline shots and waiting for his opponent to make a mistake.
Fed had possibly the greatest feel out of all the players. Others may have been more effective, but no one made tennis look quite so brilliant as he did.
Nadie es más grande que Federer, él es, carismático, virtuosismo, caballero, ingenio con elegancia, excelencia y respetuoso siempre de su oponente, etc, etc, no es simplemente jugar al tenis, nunca habrá nada igual.
We all know his charakter, his attitude and what a fantastic personality he is. This videos shows, independent of the total amount of titles, why Roger is the most talented player ever. Unique skills. The Greatest of all time!
@@user-kn3tt4eq9jmost people forget that Fed was leading H2H against Djokovic until he turned 32, Djokovic couldn't really handle prime Fed, only Nadal could sometimes, still a lot of their encounters in the mid 2000s were on Clay, and we all know how that goes.
Ah, the GOAT debate . . . Ali is the greatest boxer not because he won the most, but because of his beauty, style, elegance, charisma, ease, effortlessness, and total superiority when he was on. He captivated the world's imagination the way no other boxer before or since - far beyond boxing fans. It's the same exact thing with Roger. Yes, of course Djokovic has a superior record by now. But how many has he charmed with his tennis? How many have fallen in love with his style, his flair, his genius? Roger, Ali, MJ, Pele - they're just different.
When he was in his prime, Federer's movement was so fast, nobody moves better on the court. Federer was also very inventive in creating new shots, new angles. He is brilliant in that way, more than any other player. When Federer made his shot, lots of time, he did not look at the opposite side of the court, he just look at his racket and the ball, yet he could steer the ball with the right angle and speed. It's magic and very entertaining. :-D
You know, if you would admit the genius of Federer's playing and shot-making, you'd make it a lot easier to acknowledge anyone else's accomplishments. As it is, you just seem like a willfully obtuse asshat. Do you not watch the highlights even from Federer's losing matches? @@laurentdu78
as much as i like to agree. this is a highlight reel. however even his "normal" game looked much more interesting than todays baseline exchanges. we need some turnaments with faster courts that reward offensive players to get away from this baseline heavy game.
Roger saw opportunities for winning shots where other greats focused on just getting the ball back, i.e. the conservative low risk shot. That's why more people loved watching Roger play than any other, he took the shot that didn't even occur in other players' minds. Nadal would bludgeon his way to victory, Djokovic was like playing against a brick wall, but with Roger there was always the sense that magic could happen at any time. In a class of talented people, he was the genius.
@@talastra are you for real? Federer was a notorious sore loser and even admitted it himself. The press conference after the 2011 us open loss was the saltiest of all time for example.
No one really filled the gap between Djokovic and the others since Federer retired. Never seen a player with such a tempo hitting the ball so quickly after bounce. AO final 2017 is one of the best matches I´ve seen. Sinner maybe on his way after AO 2024?
That's because Djokovic is the #3 who found himself in a lucky situation by being younger. He doesn't even come close to Federer in his prime, in fact he couldn't do much of anything against Federer early on, until he got too old, then he overtook him physically. And as far as sportsmanship in general, Djockovic could win 40 grand slams but he would still remain an asshole :)
That first amazing shot by Roger, Nadal almost returned it... those two were amazing to watch, I will miss both. Hard to argue against Novak being the GOAT with more grand slams than either, but those two were more fun to watch, imo.
I’m asking for some insight from people who play the game, because I don’t, though appreciate it. In slow-mo, I noticed that as Federer hits these incredible shots, he doesn’t look up or in any way telegraph where he intends to go, yet they land in crazily precise spots. Is that normal? Thank you much.
No, not normal. But like most pro sports people, he has a keen sense of the court and the other player, and control of his racquet so 'looking up' isn't needed as much you'd think. Telegraphing his shot's direction is something they all practice but he was amazing at it, this video shows that really well I reckon. And his precision was fabulous, he probably had a talent for that.
I think that what actually counts between Federer and Djokovic, is that when Roger was playing good tennis, Nole could just try to prolong the match, hoping that at some point the Swiss started to make some more errors. Of course Roger's game became less consistent with age, making it difficult for him to prevail in best-of-5 matches... He was able to continue scoring victories over the Serbian though, despite the big age gap, even at 38½ y/o (Finals 2019, when he put Nole out of the tournament). Federer at his best was essentially out of reach for Djokovic. That's the most important thing which makes difficult calling Nole the GOAT.

He made the impossible look so easy. No one has ever played like Roger.
He quite simply played the game on a different level than everyone else.

Sometimes he even seems to be commenting on his opponent's last stroke by the way he responds to it - an extraordinary ability.
He was must see TV, like Michael Jordan. You had to tune in to see what spectacular shot they would come up with. And they never disappointed.

No one truly believes Joke is the GOAT over Federer, especially since Joke's highlight reel is completely inferior to Federer's highlight reel.
I am a Federer fan but, what does highlights have to do with being the best ever?

@@kweizi5712 Sure but Djokovic also had to come in and do it against the pro-Fedal crowds too which made his achievements all the greater.
