I don't care if Novak wins another 20 grand slams, he can never have the beauty, grace, elegance, the technique of Federer. IMO the best player since Laver.
Nadal fan here..I won't argue that Federer clearly wins the talent eye test over Djokivic/Nadal..He makes it look so easy!!...Alot of QB's have/had more talent than Tom Brady...Alot of golfers have/had more talent than Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus... Djokovic and Nadal are not clearly better than Federer but both of them have owned Federer head to head in the most important matches...With that said regardless of Djokovic/Nadal... Federer is a legend and one of the greatest to ever grace a tennis court...All 3 will forever be in in the conversation of GOAT...Making a blanket statement for any of the big 3 as hands down GOAT is silly
For real though, his swings don't look too powerful but damn the ball still goes extremely fast. He uses one hand for them backhands and he doesn't even grunt, but still he leaves the opponent standing still.
He could have defeated any prime player at any time in any era🤯🤯🤯🤯 06 was so close. 2017 coz he yearned to defeat rafa during his prime years. But 2017, he was on🔥🔥🔥 so this separates 2017 with 2006 defeating even rafa multiple times with ease. But 2006 is more than enough to obliterate anyone with current technology and work out regime. We can say he redefined 2006 in 2017.. Just stunning.
@clue mysteryRoger has defeated prime Novak 2011 RG semis, rafa was also close to prime in 2017 2 slams. Also that backhand could have won a RG against rafa in the earlier years. Who knows. All I know is that backhand was troubling rafa a lot.. He beat rafa mercilessly 4 times that year. Game wise Roger's backhand was being vulnerable against rafa. He improved that also. Being 4 to 5 years older than Novak and Rafa and still being able to challenge them is something beyond your thought process. Here we don't question his prime. Wat questions is how good is Roger that he was able to defeat Novak and Rafa nearly after 37 or 38 years. I think u can't comprehend in ur tiny brain on how impressive comeback that was in 2017.
His playing was so beautiful as always...awesome and entertaining...He is the best of all...Federer is the world tennis hall of fame atlet..just like michael jordan in basketball, zinedine zidane in football, and tiger woods in golf... #respect #federerforever
There was a great Reddit post describing the essential differences between the big 3, likened Nole to having 2 shields, Rafa to having a sword & a shield & Fed to having 2 swords. Idk why everyone must insist their fav player is the "best ever", can mean so many things (Highest peak? Best longetivity? Most complete player with fewest weaknesses on average?) Is very very subjective based on criteria. But just enjoying enjoyable tennis is where it's at :)
On second thought all these shot are incredible , that’s why if ur a fan of tennis u can’t help but love this guy , he’s in league of his own when it comes to highlights , like McEnroe says , it’s scary how good he can be at times
Any idea what that event was? Strange for Fed to be wearing a watch during a match so suspect it might have been an exhibition. What a shot - he seems to be grinning already as he hits it
I'm a Djokovic fan and I respect both Federer and Nadal. I don't know why you guys are always hating on Novak when he is a great player and a great person ( always smiling after loss e.t.c... )... The 3 are just great friends who play professional tennis.
Roger's slice us to be brutal it was the key to beating everyone ever since he got the big racket his slice died and thats why he started having issues with novak.

@@Pratyush2124 very cool. Glad you enjoyed it. Am working on a lyric video to go with the song that comes out soon. Would be cool to see some real Federer footage lined up with the imagery.
For those who think the Nole would have faired as good as he had against Federer if he faced him in his prime years they are fooled. He only got glimpses of what Federer was before his back injuries with full upper body rotations behind those shots.
Federer in his Younger Prime used to beat down Djokovic so bad that Djokovic would RETIRE before the Matches even finished...Federer was Still GREAT as he got Older but Once he got Older is When Djokovic hit his Prime...Even in 2019 Fed had 2 Match Point on his Raquet in Wimbledon Finals vs Djokovic...Even though he did not Convert he still took Djoko to the LIMIT and was Unfortunate to Lose that Match..Just shows that Even an OLD Feferer is still Capable of Competing at the HIGHEST level vs the BEST in the game
Djokovic is better than both. It’s not about tricks shots it’s about a complete and consistent game. Djokovic’s return, backhand and defense are the best ever.
Gosh I love those forehands.
One of the 3 Gods of tennis I pray to before any match or training session.
Federer was something else. The Fedal era is my favourite tennis era and I reckon it was the best ever.
4:00 I think about this shot a lot
The smoothest
0:44 I love this short
3:31 the one point where Federer grunted from start to finish
All I've got to say is 'Damm'
13/20 off the backhand side which is kind of a surprise actually
Sensational shots by RF...every shot he plays with style, class and grace..
2:51 That backhand pass is absolutely insane, wow.
I don't care if Novak wins another 20 grand slams, he can never have the beauty, grace, elegance, the technique of Federer. IMO the best player since Laver.
Neither of them are Nadal. Neither can bring the intensity, the fighting spirit, the the determination and the jaw-dropping moments that Rafa can
I'd have to agree. Federer is incredible to watch. Nadal is also up there. Djokovic... Don't even watch him. Racket breaking, yelling. It's no fun
Nadal fan here..I won't argue that Federer clearly wins the talent eye test over Djokivic/Nadal..He makes it look so easy!!...Alot of QB's have/had more talent than Tom Brady...Alot of golfers have/had more talent than Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus...

X2
Absolutely 100% agree with you
The only GOAT
poetry
The GOAT
wow never saw fed grunting so much.
It was an exhibition match where Fed sometimes likes to exaggerate a little :-)
Every time I see querry i think he is a gta customized player
I cannot agree more !! All of what you mention PLUS a personality to compliment it all and never throwing a tantrum
I feel bad for Tsonga, RF does deliberately want to make him looked bad, it is just how RF plays.
His arm is so strong! He’s able to just effortlessly chip backhands at 100 mph!
Not strength.
Talent & timing 👌
@@drejtoman2974 I would say: Perfect technique, timing, body and arm movment and a lot of talent
Not 100 mph lol that's too fast
For real though, his swings don't look too powerful but damn the ball still goes extremely fast. He uses one hand for them backhands and he doesn't even grunt, but still he leaves the opponent standing still.
@@picotera7328 Nope. He can smash over 100 mph if he wants to.
Federer Is the best I have ever seen
So elegant. So majestic..!!
5:33 Blake says “you’re too good”
Federer played so long that he self actualized tennis for a human , he raised the bar , he set it to a new height and who’s gonna rise above it ?
He said this is the best tennis can be , who’s gonna out do me
The speed on his shots both wings is insane man
Incredible precision of Magic Federer!
His powerful backhand along the line is gorgeous and unstoppable!
did anyone notice the sound of the wind of rafa racket in the wimbledon clip?
"He makes it look easy." Nothing more to say.
Fed artist
Djokovic machine
Nadal warriot.
2017 Federer was the best ever.
06 >
Totally agree
He could have defeated any prime player at any time in any era🤯🤯🤯🤯 06 was so close. 2017 coz he yearned to defeat rafa during his prime years. But 2017, he was on🔥🔥🔥 so this separates 2017 with 2006 defeating even rafa multiple times with ease. But 2006 is more than enough to obliterate anyone with current technology and work out regime.

goat
His forehand back in the day.... On fast surfaces is lethal af
At his peak, Federer forehand was the best shot ever in singles tennis history. Can produce winners from absolutely anywhere.
Seems like Federer can place the ball exactly where he wants, and with so much power and grace. Truly a great player. A pleasure to watch.
4:02 the umpire’s reaction says it all
The best and most graceful ever. The speed on these shots comes from racket head speed, but also impeccable footwork and timing.
イカれてる。良い意味で
Federer forehand is so smooth man
It was part of an exhibition tournament though. (The Gillette -Federer Tour)
It was pre-2011, afterwards it was not as deadly.
He’s like a male version of Steffi Graf.
He’s a joy to watch, the most elegant tennis player to ever hold a tennis racket coming from die hard rafa fan, but a tennis fan in the first place
Most are backhands. The one hander is more powerful than the 2 hander. Just so hard to learn to hit.
Nadal 22 Grandslam roland garros
Give me Federer's backhand and Nadal's forhand and I win every grand slam
His playing was so beautiful as always...awesome and entertaining...He is the best of all...Federer is the world tennis hall of fame atlet..just like michael jordan in basketball, zinedine zidane in football, and tiger woods in golf... #respect #federerforever
I’ve seen a lot of RF vids and I didn’t realise actually how good he is until now
Those inside forehand return winners...
No one else.
He's the G.O.A.T because he's the N.T.P.O.A.T
The Nicest Tennis Playing Of All Time
Nobody hits that forehand at 2:25
This is the Tennis goat. His game is so much cooler than Noles imo

@@Dman9fp Thats a cool description.
Simply the best!!!
they have all their unique attributes, but in my books i love watching RF most
4:07 reaction from Roger
That’s one of the greatest shots in tennis , the back footed one hand backhand down the line , right around thirty’s seconds a gain at querry
On second thought all these shot are incredible , that’s why if ur a fan of tennis u can’t help but love this guy , he’s in league of his own when it comes to highlights , like McEnroe says , it’s scary how good he can be at times
Recorded tennis has never seen anything like him
Federer footwork truly is a thing of beauty
Look at the chair ump's reaction at 4:03 . Gold!!!
Any idea what that event was? Strange for Fed to be wearing a watch during a match so suspect it might have been an exhibition. What a shot - he seems to be grinning already as he hits it
Sorry it wasn’t a tricky effort to figure out - this was a Gillette exhibition match tour of Brazil
When you think about it, it's scary that most shots in this video are on his backhand which is considered "weaker".
But also you need to think about how this is what he’s known for.
And then there's the fact that he plays it both open-stance and closed-stance.
Great vid!
Only 22 times..?! His balance when striking the ball is out of this world
Федя воистину великий
Único!!!
A new time of backhand is born... The Federal Backhand.🔥
The best ever!
We have the privilege to live this time with him.
The best....👏👏👏👏
im a VERY big federer fan im very sad when he quit because he plays sooo beautiful
His back hand’s shot..just amazing and beauty..😏
0:43 backhand swinging volley from the baseline-very special stuff.
0:50 an unveliable difficult hit
I expect precision and clever shots from Roger, but he has pure power too!
Where is the last point against sampras where he bet him
From 3:32 to 4:46 were back to back points. Just insane.
The fearhand
I'm a Djokovic fan and I respect both Federer and Nadal. I don't know why you guys are always hating on Novak when he is a great player and a great person ( always smiling after loss e.t.c... )... The 3 are just great friends who play professional tennis.
He focuses more on aim than power
3:28 Fed hit the ball so hard the frames couldn't keep up
He’s just too good.
King Roger, truly a legend 🤲🏼
Yummy
lol best
Ripping the forehand down the line! Check out the new song called FedFan
Roger's slice us to be brutal it was the key to beating everyone ever since he got the big racket his slice died and thats why he started having issues with novak.
Praising Federer without mentioning Djokovic in the same sentence seems like mission impossible to some people in the comments.
“FedFan” Lyrics by View19
For the love of the game
The adoration of the fans
The maestro’s at work
Building on the plan
The blueprint created
As we watch the play
Yes, we all waited
It was the peRFect day
We are…
The FedFan
You’ll be…
Hitting the groove
In peRFect time
Ripping the forehand
Down the line
Gliding….with an effortless sort of mastery
Aces on Fire
Focus so Cool
Slicing the drop shot
Destinеd to rule
Witnessing the majеsty….the glory
Come on….yeah
Inspiration is found
In every single shot
With the timeless refinement
Of a Rolex watch
Turning coal into diamonds
With precision and grace
The maestro’s at work
Everyone’s got that look on their face
We are…
The FedFan
We’ll be…
Hitting the groove
In peRFect time
Ripping the forehand
Down the line
Gliding….with an effortless sort of mastery
Yeah yeah yeah yeah….
Aces on Fire
Focus so Cool
Slicing the drop shot
Destined to rule
Witnessing the history…
It’s just…..peRFect
The Fire
The Ice
Legendary
From the Swiss Alps
To the Match for Africa
Extraordinary
Melbourne, Paris, London, and New York!!!
We’ve got…
Aces on Fire
Focus so Cool
Slicing the drop shot
Destined to rule
Witnessing the majesty….the glory!!!!
Excellent poetry 👌👏👍
@@Queenvenus73 cool. Thank you! Go Venus!
Thats brilliant !
@@Pratyush2124 very cool. Glad you enjoyed it. Am working on a lyric video to go with the song that comes out soon. Would be cool to see some real Federer footage lined up with the imagery.
Lovely!!
He is consistent with lots of his winning shots
0:44 most impressive for me
So glad Federer is history
For those who think the Nole would have faired as good as he had against Federer if he faced him in his prime years they are fooled. He only got glimpses of what Federer was before his back injuries with full upper body rotations behind those shots.
Federer in his Younger Prime used to beat down Djokovic so bad that Djokovic would RETIRE before the Matches even finished...Federer was Still GREAT as he got Older but Once he got Older is When Djokovic hit his Prime...Even in 2019 Fed had 2 Match Point on his Raquet in Wimbledon Finals vs Djokovic...Even though he did not Convert he still took Djoko to the LIMIT and was Unfortunate to Lose that Match..Just shows that Even an OLD Feferer is still Capable of Competing at the HIGHEST level vs the BEST in the game
01:34 is from other Universe
Racquet head speed ...
I miss when courts were fast
Who's the BOSS ??????👍👍👍
It’s really not hitting the ball. More like spanking the ball. Speaking of, where’s my wife?
dude where's that backhand down the line against nadal in indian wells 2017??
When I see him I imagine Quentin Tarantino and Joaquin Phoenix fused together to make the perfect tennis warrior.
Uffffff!
Nadal and Djokovic have accuracy, endurance, mental toughness but both lack creativity and artistry like Roger.
Nadal comes close tbh. If you watch a trick shot compilation of both they’re pretty equal, Nadal’s just tend to be more athletic
Djokovic is better than both. It’s not about tricks shots it’s about a complete and consistent game. Djokovic’s return, backhand and defense are the best ever.
And MOST of those were backhands!
You wouldn't have to look very hard to find 20 ONLY forehand winners at more than
100 mph, each.
Who is Federer? I saw God playing tennis there, buddy!
Nadie juega como Federer ni teniendo 700 GS más.
New balls please
As if prime Fed wouldn’t destroy Novak in straight sets
