The greatest tennis player, an honour to watch the elegance with such effectiveness
Without doubt, Federer is the most talented, beautiful, vesatile player ever to play tennis. Variety of shots he plays, is far more than combined of Nadal or Novak. His volley , stop volley, backend, forehand and dropshots are very pleasing to watch. To play for 20 over yrs with very high consistency is simply amazing. And above all, he is very humble, down to earth always easy going with his fans and media. We hardly read or hear ppl say bad things abt him. It is astonoshing to know that he has never retired half way in 1500 plus matches he has played. This shows how much he loves Tennis.. No other player has this effect on public past 50 yrs plus. No wonder he gets so much love, respect and attention from Reporters, players and public.. Even if Novak wins 25 Slams, he can never match talent, skill, charishma, elegance and popularity of Federer. Novak may go down as Goat but Federer is Lion ( king who rules)..👌🏻👌🏻.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Roger is the GOAT🐐
wrong Miroslav Mecir, John McEnroe, have more talent! But they had no discipline! After his Rock and Drugs Tour, 1984-85, McEnroe, never really came back! And Mecir never trained! Tirac said about him, while the other players were training, I used to meet him at the casino in Monte Carlo! Consequence, back broke quickly and career ended with him almost paralysed! Talent is not enough!!! Without the will to reinvent yourself every day, to keep at it, to train hard, nothing works! Look at Nadal, he lost years due to injuries, a player who was less possessed would have been history long ago! Funny, Mecir and Nadal are two extremes!
Touch of a god, doesn´t get any better than that.
You gotta know about it as his biggest fan.
@@JosephDT Djokovic fans are the worst. Such waste of human air.
@@unowen7591 yeah I know it’s sad
@@kamilmalinowski1267 well said
@@JosephDT obviously.
No one dedicates more time towards Federer, that´s some passion right there.
Federer’s approach game and net game are unmatched in this generation. He’s able to drop the ball almost perfectly where it needs to be, so it’s out of reach. You usually get killed at the net if you don’t execute like this.
he stretches and hit the drop short really low. that's why he had so much control
This is easily my favorite highlights you've ever done. It's a great demonstration of what sets Federer apart from everyone else.
On this I can agree easily, while being a Rafa fan since 2006.
Never seen another player that can do this with such consistency.
Federer basically half-volleys multiple shots during any given rally.
The owner of the best one handed half volley in history. Only one who comes close is Stefan Edberg
One of the best things about these highlight videos is seeing the reactions of the opponents again. That half volley against Murray at 1:16 - from the year end finals in 2012 - never fails to crack me up. Murray was like, "WTF more am I supposed to do!?"
Here's the thing about the GOAT debate - nobody has ever feared playing Rafa or Novak in their prime. Guys literally did not want to play Roger because as Agassi once put it when comparing Roger and Pete - Roger can squeeze you from every part of the court. When he's in "God Mode" - it doesn't matter who he's playing. Novak and Rafa have been both on the receiving end of some Roger beat downs. Even though he has a losing record against both? Out of all of the matches he's played against the 2 of them - there's only 1 really horrible from Roger where he was never in the match - and that's the 2008 French Open. There have been multiple times when he's played Novak and Rafa when it hasn't mattered what they did on court because Roger was untouchable.
Roger is my favorite player ever, but what you said about the matchups with Rafa and Nole is just crazy to me. Rafa has had games against Roger where Roger hasn't been able to do anything, and so has Nole. I do believe Federer's prime was by far the greatest and most beautiful tennis that we'll ever see tho.
You nailed it. I always think almost the exact same thing.
It's like, "What the hell was that? and What am I supposed..."
For me, the one at 4:18 is the best of a crazy bunch. His racket is coming ACROSS the ball and he has to time it right, and feather it, at the same time as opening it for a slice. All while getting into position with his feet.
The sheer number of things that could go wrong but don't, along with the eye-hand coordination and awareness of his racket face, is mind-bendingly good to me.
2:46 is outrageous and one of the great pieces of Federer commentary "Maybe Blake should play the Federer Forehand".
Softest touch and most naturally talented player ever. That's undebatable. Djoko and Nadal might have gone pass him when it comes to pure athletism and mental toughness, but I dont find myself watching youtube clips from them. And neither do you, there's a reason for that.
I do the same, just watch federers video clips. I dont watch grunting players and not much variety of shots. I also watch brown, monfils,sampras
I never thought a compilation of half-volleys would be my favorite Fed video ever!!! Also, I like that you keep the audio rolling through the beginning of the next clip. It's a nice touch. 👌
Thanks! Happy you appreciated the editing :)
Gift from "The Tennis Gods"...
Unbelievably hand Skills... So Good 👋 👋 👋 👋...
Thank you so much for this compilation! More than anything else, these trademark shots make him the greatest player ever to step on the court. The reactions from audiences and commentators alone -- priceless! If Federer was in the right frame of mind to confidently execute his most outrageous winners after putting in the delicate footwork needed, he was more or less invincible. Once again: Thank you, Raz Ols, and thank you, Roger Federer, for this beautiful legacy!
I love how the first half of the video are BH shots and second FH shots.
All shots are pure magic.
Everything about him is otherworldly divine .
Makes you go
"This is the Greatest I am witnessing" and you feel thankful about it .
The Physical Effort Which Federer plays Tennis seems so Relaxed and Peaceful....His Artistry with the Raquet is so Thrilling and Gravitating...Watching Federer play This Sport is Worth every Single Penny you might Spend to get a chance to Experience such Beautiful Languid Brilliance
Anyone who keeps comparing Roger's backhand to other one-handers like Tsitsipas, Shapovalov, Dimitrov or Thiem (and seriously keeps saying they are similar or even on the same level) should see this video. None of them come close to Roger. Anyone who keeps saying the backhand is his great weakness that cost him more success (i.e. he would be a much better player with a two-hander) should watch this. It's a magical, extremely versatile shot.
Atingere magica
Marca Federer.
Sanatate multa si asteptam sa revii in forta.
I mean seriously, apart from their family members, why on earth would anybody not be a Federer fan, the man is an artist, a genius, the best ever
I remember a half volley forehand in the Australian open final against Cilic, espectacular shot
I was figuring which part of his game was most satisfying to watch. I settled on this one. This is the reason he always makes it deep into tournaments. People who do split step just stand still and watch. And people who hit it deep expecting to approach a defensive shot just get blue balled.
Roger Federer! GOAT! Klar die Anderen waren oder sind auch nicht gerade schlecht! Das machte es ja so interessant ! Einfach einzigartig! Er machte genau was Er dachte machen zu können! Einfach klasse! Man sieht die Liebe zum Spiel,Sport! Ich spiele selbst gar nicht! Aber Ihm zu zuschauen macht mir den Sport verständlich! Genau wie Jan-Owe Waldner im Tischtennis oder Michael im Auto! Federer ist für mich Tennis 🎾! Toll,immer wieder!
Best half-volleyer of all time
Best forehand of all time
Best one-hander of all time
Best serve of all time
Best slice of al time
Best hand of all time
Still figuring out the goat talk?
Best volleyer, smasher, tweener....the list goes on
You guys.. you don’t know, Sampras best Smash/Serve.. Volleys Edberg, not everything is Roger Federer.
Best one-hander of all time? Not even best one-hander on the tour now.
@@nicholus_h2 Wawrinka has a better one but won 3 majors on 3 years and poof. Thiem has had a very short successful career so far. Tsitsipas and Shapo are far behind in execution and consistency.
@@sephsmals7383 I was gonna say Top 3 server. But I'd actually take kick and slice serves and least DF% of any GS winner over Sampra's big second (and first).
And I was gonna say Top 3 at the net, since Edberg, but Federer has won so much more titles coming at the net, especially later in his career, with a much harder ball to volley given the modern strings technology
The most naturally gifted genius that has ever played the game of tennis.
I've been watching your videos for almost 4 years now and coming from India where Tennis isn't as popular (don't have too many people to talk about it), I still remember the days when I started watching way back in the mid 2000's, Roger made playing tennis look ridiculously easy. I'm a decent athlete myself playing Volleyball, football and cricket but until I tried playing tennis, really couldn't appreciate the level of difficulty, skill and talent. Stats don't tell you the whole story, I mean in any sport, for example, MJ doesn't have the best stats in Basketball, Ayrton Senna neither in F1 but they are considered as reference points. I myself am a huge fan of Novak and Rafa for different reasons - Novak's consistency, Rafa's spirit - the guy doesn't know what giving up means. But I don't miss them when they aren't playing too much because such traits and their gameplay can be found in other really world-class players. But there can't and will never be another Roger. For me and I think for many tennis fans in general, we've crossed the stage where results matter. Anyway, thank you Raz.
FedEx forever! In days of little to no FedEx, as a tennis fan I wonder why I’m unable to get behind another player …. This video right here is my reason! If you grew up on this, then everything else just pales….
What a compilation - Am cherishing these - RazOls never fails to deliver :)
Joy to watch, notice the reaction of the ppl in the background !! You probably can make another hour of ridiculous half volleys by Federer.
The timing required to do this is a very very rare talent. Unequalled.
A lot of those shots were insane!
I love all of these "50 greatest...by Roger" videos. It just proves that he was the real deal and that his spectacular shots weren't one-off accidents. I remember a certain top player (who shall remain namelesss so I don't start a war) mimicking that Federer just stuck his racquet out and swung at a shot and it turned spectacular. But no. Roger is possibly the ONLY player in history who could hit these types of shots on the regular and maintain an incredible, champion-level record. There were other tricksters in the game, but not a single one of them ever won a Grand Slam, i.e., Monfils, Brown, Leconte, Santoro, Dmitrov, and a few others. Maybe the only exception to that is Noah, but he only one a single GS title. While Roger's total GS, Masters 1000, and YEC record may not stand up against Nadal and Djokovic when all is said and done, Roger's pure talent, hand-eye coordinator, and outside shot accuracy has never been equalled in the history of the game.
Amazing 😍😍😍
I mean, he makes it look so easy 😳 This is what is missing from tennis these days… I hope he returns soon 🤞
Thanks for the video Raz!
I have been a subscriber for years of your channel and a tennis fanatic, you do a great job with the videos, successes bro
Appreciate the support! 🙏
It's the best tackle in the history of tennis and Federer is the most skillful of the courts.
Speechless..💫♥️
Otros tendrán mas GS, pero como él, no hay y no habrá. Como dijo una vez David Ferrer: "Roger hace que parezca fácil".
Y no hace alarde de sus golpes mágicos. GENIO DE LA RAQUETA !!!!!!
This is the definition of GOAT. Lasting legacy for a 100 years.
Goat is Laver then everyone else.
The shot against Hewitt and Gasquet are practically identical
I miss watching this guy play every week. We need you back, Roger.
"Pure genius."!! More examples of the man who will never be equaled.
If and when they decide to come up with a box-set of Federer's most beautiful games ( of which there will be 100s if not 1000s ) I am buying the whole box set and watching it anytime I wanna feel on top of the world.
Did you include those 2 halfvolleys against Delpo at the AO 2009? I watched the conplete video but maybe I missed them😅
Two things:
Firstly, that RF was doing that when he was young (with his ponytail), and in his later years (UNI QLO sponsered). and
Secondly, that this is why I love to watch High-level ATP tennis.
The opponents are great and making amazing shots. Federer is just Better.
One of my favorite shots of federer is his half volley and it's the best half volley in tennis .
Loooooolll I choked from laughter, 'last time we saw one of those, God was a boy.' 1:32
An important one missed from this cool video was vs Nadal, backhand down the line half volley, 2017 Indian Wells. Pure genius!
Which point?
@@RazOls sorry it was the Miami final 2017, 2nd set 5-4 and 0-15
@@pmorgan8 Ah yes, I saved that one for 50 ridiculous backhands ;)
@@RazOls so there's more to come?? Wow, you are the maestro of video-tennis in the FED-league!
@@RazOls I think u missed a ridiculous half volley backhand from baseline which he hit against dimitrov in Brisbane... Very similar to the shot against gulbis he hit in RG 2014
Guga showing young Fed who is the boss in da house. Great match.
"Look at the hands...the majestry!" lol 00:57
Федерер, явно прошёл эту игру ))
Often it's a clear tactic - push the other chap further and further out, move in on the final push, then direct the ball the other way. Amazes me that you can plan and execute like that in such fast game. Lovely to watch anyway.
god
Ti amo immensamente ❤❤❤, non esiste il paragone con nessuno
Sinplemente magico
🐐♥️
When you watch Rafa and Nole, you realize they are great athletes. Watching Fedplay, you realize he’s a great artist who happens to play tennis.
As a long time tennis player and fan since about 1980, and having watched all the wonderful players between then and now, I sometimes ask myself who I would most want to be able to play like? Only one answer comes to mind: Roger Federer.
I find this his most impressive shot. No one else can do it.
Simple, easy (apparently) and elegant, whatelse !
“You can’t practice this shot.” Well what do you think Federer does? How else could it be that easy for him?
Federer playing tennis is like watching Jordan play basketball. On a different level to everybody else !!!!
FedEx the magician
God
Proved to be beyond existence of mind...second to none skillset
Is it allowed to upload best ofs yourself?
11:12 shows the difference between the fastest and the best forhand.
wow looks just like me at the park 🌲🌳🌲
Just the best player ever stats be dammed.
no one is closed to federer in term of skills with tennis racquet....that's why in the goat debate when you talking about Federer, it's beyond the achievement, at least for me, because he is the most skilled tennis player in the history.
Every opponent should be required to make noise so you know who you're going for... Betterer.
🤯
Im really starting to notice that its al backhands, is rogers backhandvolley so much better then his forehand volley?
In this video it's basically 50-50, but I suppose his backhand is more talked about when it comes to half volleys.
Oh yeah the beginning is just mostly backhands, thankyou👌
It's bcos of the wrist flick on the bh.
Its just sooooo cool
I thought these were called “on the rise” shots
the statistical GOAT nadal still dont know what a half volley is.
Federer is like that one dude in your favorite TDM server that quickscope oneshots you that you call nolife virgin out of rage, but really deep down you know he's just _better_ than you lmao.
So Roger mostly is only good on half volleys with the backhand? Good to know the next time I play him
12:43 slinky as frkn shot
An awful lot of these against Djoko.....😇
Just re name it the fed
01:45 stop it
Honestly, I feel bad that the golden era is past us. We will never watch anything like Federer's touch, Rafa's grit, and Novak's resilience.
Unfortunately yes...
Hos half volleys from the baseline only got better as he aged.
1:43 “last time we saw one of those, god was a boy.” Is it me or does this guy make the weirdest comments?
You mean like he comments like a mongoose on amphetamines?
@@RazOls lol all I’m saying is, 99 out of 100 commentators would not have said anything like that, but this guy is NOT in that category.
@@mazi_thoughts Maybe they should call 911, it seems like he just got out of jail, that's how crazy that guy is!
@@RazOls they could, but even if the cops showed up it wouldn’t matter, because his commentary is nearer the gods, no mortal may approach!
😂
Mucho saque y volea, el juego de Nadal es más divertido y espectacular.
Be.
1 of the things/ skills the younger generation lacks...
Yes, while technically you can hit half volleys from the baseline, I think only ones at net should have been included
Half of these half volleys aren’t even half vollies
