Fantastic documentary! 🤩 It's so great to flashback to a fabulous winning streak of such a player as brilliant as Federer!
I'm tired, extremely tired of these comments "Oh Roger is not the best", "Roger is an outdated player", "Roger is the 3rd best player in history" etc. I figured out. Novak is the greatest tennis player of all time? Fine. Rafa is superior. Okay. I don't care because Federer's huge career cannot be summed up in one title. It's more than sound recordings that will all end up being beaten and that's normal. I admire Rafa, he's amazing, I respect Novak and no matter how much people want to spit on Roger, I tried to put him down, for me there is still Roger Federer: the one who made me fall in love with tennis. The one who transmits the magic through his game. The one who leaves me speechless at each match. There was a time when he dreamed of being number one in the world, he was for a very long time. There was a time when he wanted to break records, he did it in a very glorious way. People say we'll forget about it eventually. How false. Roger will never be forgotten by those whom he made dream at the same time as he realized all his dreams. He is a genius, the Maestro. And you will never take that away from him.
Nothing has really changed. They have been saying Fed is not the best since 2015, some of them since 2008. H2H was the reason, now it's slam count. The detractors make about half the comments on Fed's videos these days. You'd think they'd have plenty videos of their idol to watch to keep them busy. Alas, they are as obsessed with Federer as they have ever been. No change there, either. Maybe some of them are feeling a little insecure after that reception Fed got at Wimbledon. Gotta work though it, somehow -- ah CZcams comments!
Federer is the GOAT. And I say this as a Serbian too
@@initialize21 kudos to your impartiality
Yeah, Absolutely, numbers are game and Above that Roger is absolute legend of Tennis!
@@shirin8402 Absolutely...not. I approve of the fact that Rafa and Novak are statistically above him and I find it incredible that at their age, they continue to achieve these exploits. I do not understand however this vital need of some people to spit on Federer - I mean - one can express one's opinion while remaining courteous.
Roger Federer was a miracle for the sport. Something truly special that you just know is rare, it doesn't come often. He made millions of people all around the world fall in love for tennis. This natural elegance, so effortless, he is such an icon like no one else. I don't care how many titles Rafa and Djokovic end up winning (they can be the greatest champions of the sport), all I know is that Roger will always be remembered as the greatest and most perfect "tennis player" there ever was. Forever in our minds and in our hearts.
Djokovic is the most Perfect tennis player of all time. Technically perfect playstyle, and in terms of stats and titles as well.
@@cobrakilla8 and still can't smash at the net, perfect player....
@@p.c.k.m.h690 ...and yet he still manages to win 24 grand slams and stay world no. 1 for close to 400 weeks and has a winning record versus Nadal and Chokerer.
@@GrantPearson because he gave up every time he was behind!
@@GrantPearsonFederer was 6 years older than Novak, the core of their rivalry was during novaks peak and Federer was slowly declining.
For me, Federer is the greatest tennis player to ever step foot on a tennis court. The most magnificent tennis I've ever seen
No no no no he is one of the greatest tennis player in the world
Djokovic is goat of men tennis
Nadal is greatest clay court player in the world and one of the greatest tennis player in the world in open era
If he wins 5th US Open title this year he will be tied with Pete Sampras in hard court major titles for sure
1. Djokovic=12
2. Federer=11
3. Pete Sampras=7
4. Rafael Nadal and Agassi=6
Rafael Nadal wins 5th US Open title he will be tied with Pete Sampras in hard court major titles for sure
He would be in 3rd place with legendary tennis player for sure😌😌😌😌
7=7.
Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis player in the world in open era
He is going to win ATP finals title.
1. Djokovic is greatest tennis player of all time
2. Nadal is greatest clay court player in the world and one of the greatest tennis player in the world in open era
3. Federer is one of the greatest tennis player in the world in open era
Djokovic and Nadal both defended their domains actually never lost a final also like Federer.
Djokovic domain is Australian open
Nadal domain is French open
Federer doesn't have domain
Djokovic made Wimbledon his domain

@@kikaa1884 so he's won it on par with your IQ?
Roger Federer is the greatest to ever play the game of tennis, full stop!
No player in the history of tennis will ever come close to the prime of Roger Federer. From 2003-2009, he won 6 Wimbledon’s, 5 US Open’s, 3 Australian Open’s and 1 French Open. He beat Sampras’ record of the most Grand Slam titles (14) in just 6 years.
Personally I think he’s the greatest player in tennis history, although he no longer has the most Grand Slams anymore. He can do things that nobody else in the history of the game has ever been able to do with a racket.
from 2003 to 2009, it was the strongest competition in the history of tennis🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@majstorringo Federer is the GOAT, and I say this as a Serbian too
BRO HE WON 4 AUSTRALIANS... and almost made them 5 except 08
that was the goldilocks era where he had no threat once nadal/djoki,murray ,wawarinka came along and got their game going feds run wilted with his sqaush game and mental weakness
@@canski5646 after he had entered his early 30’s😢😂😂😂😅
Federer is the GOAT. Most influential, talented and beautiful game anyone has ever seen!
Epitome of class, dignity and elegance. He will forever remain the greatest player to have graced tennis. Lots of love and respect. Thank you for everything Roger.
NOVAK GOAT
@Sleepy Joe He said "epitome of class, dignity and elegance," so no, not Novak
@@codygusto9654 you know, nowadays when you say: Del Potro with the most massive forehand, someone says: Novak GOAT shut up. So yeah
@Sleepy Joe Yeah, only Novak fans think otherwise and they are quite less amount of people evident from crowd support
When you undermine someone's victory who saved 2 match points and came back from 2 sets down and call it luck it is certainly not class.
He might not hold the most slams but in my opinion he’s the greatest player to grace the planet. For me it’s the influence he’s had on the game and the legacy he left behind. He isn’t asking people to surpass him, he’s showing them how beautiful the game can be. It’s hard not to be romantic about this game now that he’s introduced me to it.
Roger has personified what Tennis truly is: elegance over strength. Mind and style over power and speed. It is this very fact that his game defies time that has spanned multiple generations. This is precisely why Roger is GOAT and will be forever favorite of the people.
that said, he packs heat, too, especially in his service game. aced himself out of trouble quite a few times in his incredible career! and his play style somewhat disguises his quickness, as he just seems to be effortlessly gliding all over the court. but hey, nobody catches up to what seems to be every single shot without some jets in his legs! he's essentially the perfect synergy of strength and grace in the tennis world, which is what sets him apart from pretty much everyone else, and why his game is such a magnificent sight to behold.
The awe with which Federer's peers were speaking about him shows just how great he was in these peak years.
Tennis to me is Roger Federer. He will never be forgotten. He is the only tennis player that made tennis look so easy to play. I will never stop loving him. Thank you, Roger for making us millions love tennis.
Most beautiful tennis player of all time in terms of class and style. My favourite of all time for sure
My dear king 👑 Roger Federer love from India 🇮🇳❤️
NOVAK GOAT

@@sleepyjoe8394 2013 was arguably one of Federer worst physical seasons, dealing with back pain. The matchpoints against Novak he did choke those, I am aware, and it hurts. I don’t need a CZcams Novak fan troll to remind me 😂

NOVAK GOAT
@@marioglory8528 no
@Sleepy Joe Novak is not 3rd, I’d say he is second, right above Nadal
@Sleepy Joe no, and in general I don’t think there’s a wide between any of the Big 3
@Sleepy Joe no, there is no wide margin between any of them, and we are just lucky to have lived through the era of the Big 3
Murray was right. "I think he's playing great, I just think the level of tennis has got better." Kudos to the big 4 for driving each other to produce a truly unbelievable period in men's tennis.
The big 3*
I’ve been following tennis my whole life and the tennis GOAT debate has always been fascinating. One can make strong arguments for all 3, Federer, Djokovic and Nadal and the answer isn’t self evident. However, I do have this to say : If all 3 were to play each other at their absolute peak, like on their best day, Federer would absolutely destroy both (in my humble opinion). Federer on his days of peak form simply obliterates any player that has ever touched a racquet.
That is true. Federer at his best is better simply bcuz he's a genius and the most creative player ever lived
Couldn't agree more, on his best day he's the best.... BY FAR
On his best , he consistently lost to Rafa. And don't bring clay because if he was the goat he should have one atleast once !
Well considering a peak Rafa beat a peak Federer this doesn't make sense!
@@sandelf845 They both beat each other in there peaks. Rafas style gives Roger trouble I admit that but Roger is the more naturally talented tennis player. In my opinion obviously.
The level of tennis by Roger from '04-'07 has not been seen/matched since by anyone. Novak's run in '11,'12,'13 was remarkable no doubt, and still is tbh, but the quality of tennis was from roger in those years was on a different level altogether. Just my observation, have been watching tennis since early 90s when Americans ruled tennis
Federer between 04-08 was another level all together, it wasn’t that the era was weak. It was more the fact nobody had answers to his aggressive style of shot making.
You look at what occurs these days….whoever misses, it’s not about attacking and playing tennis properly, the new gen of players just billy from the baseline, it’s so tedious to see 🤦🏼♂️
Cant believe how great this man is. A phenomenon. Everything this guy has is beyond belief.Truly a mythic hero. His vision and qualities are unbelievable. The things he achieved during these years are incomparable to nothing. This guy will forever be in my mind and heart,a living legend.
One of a kind
NOVAK GOAT
@@marioglory8528 He is the GOAT, and I say this as a Serbian too
The Fed is the *only player in any **_individual_** sport* to *_simultaneously_* be that sport's aesthetic touchstone, greatest creative shotmaker, and most successful winner. (This was during the 2003-2009 period). That he should have done it in a sport as athletically, physically, and mentally demanding as tennis beggars belief.
Perhaps just as impressive is that he continued to be among the sport's top 3 players for another 10 years, keeping up with two elite younger guys whose game plan against him was ceaseless baseline attrition.
The 🐐
NOVAK GOAT
He is always so humble and down to earth. A Legend.
Nobody can’t play tennis more elegant than Roger. I hope he’s playing again as soon as possible
What can you say, I think the name says it all, Roger Federer, champion and amazing person. 😊🔥🎾
Might have been overtaken by Djokovic and Nadal in terms of Titels and grand slams. But to me he’s the true GOAT. When you think tennis , you think Federer. Similar to Jordan, Woods, Schumacher in basketball, golf and Formula 1, respectively.
Exactly. Most of MJ’s records have been broken by Lebron, Kobe and others. But that doesn’t mean MJ is not the GOAT anymore. Same shall be in tennis and Roger.
Lol
@@bournejason66 what records?
nadal and Djokovic have a superior h2h against Federer lol, can't call him the goat when he won most of his grand slams in a weaker era compared to nadal and djokovic, where as djokvoicn won more grand slams in a quicker time span in a much tougher era with the likes of murray,nadal, del porto, wawrinka and medvedev. Federer only had andy roddick.
@@bournejason66 Federer will always remain your favourite.But he is not the GOAT and never will be again.
Hey Roger, it's just you, the miracle, the marvelous, the legend, the greatest of all time, you're all elegant, powerful, inspiring! Bravo huge, huge Respect, lots of love, billion thanks for everything!
Thank you for this US Open ! There's a lot of revisionism going on regarding Federer's status in the game, but this video just epitomises what he was all about. It was perfection on a tennis court. He was getting GOAT shouts in 2004-5 when he'd barely won 5 majors. Playing and competing against the likes of Agassi to now Zverev, Thiem generation. He truly transcended the game itself. What a privilege it was to watch Federer in full flow. He won't end up with most majors or most titles or his records may still be broken but i just want to say Thank You Roger.
The GOAT! Always and forever!!! ❤️❤️ no one else like Roger! 🎾🎾🎾

Best all round skills. Near perfect player skill wise.
Greatest player of all time. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Federer is the GOAT, and I say this as a Serbian too
Roger is super human ⭐❤
What made Roger the greatest, in my opinion, even though Djokovic owns the majors record, was his technique (forehand and backhand,) acumen and tennis IQ. Roger was out there thinking and it was such a treat to watch a master, a professor of the game school his opponents on how to play the game.
World Class GOAT. No one play ' s like you. Maestro.
roger federer=3rd best player in tenis history
The most versatile, balletic player to ever grace a court. Unbeatable in his prime.
I really think the courts are so much slower these days which works against Fed big time
Su magestad, cuando por Perú 🇵🇪, éxitos RF
NOVAK GOAT
We have been lucky to get The 3 legends at a the same time
Great job US open, for recognition you put on this video, I miss Roger and his night sessions on US OPEN especially in 1st weeks there was certain chill atmosphere. I miss it.
Players with more hunger for success will come and surpass federer, but not many will be able to make people fall in love with tennis.
Thanks 👍 very much for this great opportunity to straighten the standard out to recollect and to emphasize the utter brilliance of Roger Federer,the man had every shot in his repertoire,he was and still is absolutely smashing and great class on top of it,just remarkable!!!🙏☀️
This is really an amazing video, not only because of Rog but it is so nice to see old footage that we almost forgot! Thanks US Open
Tennis King Fed and tennis Queen Serena. Thank-you for all you guys have done to the tennis world
Great documentary video. Roger is a legend of tennis. ❤
I hope he can win another us open. The GOAT.
Great Video on Peak Roger! But interesting to see that Novak was the only losing finalist who didn't have a defeatist attitude after losing to Roger. He still believed.
i mean if i was to play federer at his prime myself and loses i wouldn't be even have an attitude
The most beloved sportsman in history 💯
Wow! great piece of history thank you so much for uploading.... gives me chills, i was there at 2005 US Open and got to see this amazing, jawdropping, crazy, insane, etc. performance.
I had the chance watching Roger live at Wimbledon,before his match I watched Andy Murray ,I watched nadal and Djokovic as well,but there is big but,watching rogerfederer is a pleasure,he is so smooth ,watching him doesn’t tire u,the other players I have mentioned they tire u,he literally floats on the court,there were 2 old English ladies sitting next to me,they were sipping their champagne and watching Roger and said they never missed of his any matches because Roger brings class to the court
Love Roger Federer GOAT
Roger Federer is the GOAT. Always will be. It’s not the amount of Grand Slams won to be the GOAT. He holds countless records that won’t be broken in decades. He was the 1st to reach 20 Grand Slams, 5 consecutive US Opens, 9 Wimbledon, longest streak at #1 and many more. Don’t forget, Federer was the trailblazer for upcoming Nadal and the Joker. The Haters will Hate so I say, Poor Poor Pitiful You!!
11:33 - zen master Agassi knew it. On fast courts no1 could stand a chance against prime Fed no way 🐐
an incredible journey to watch this amazing phenomenal awesome skilledfull great Tennis legend his tennis skills to watch it just so so special. From this amazing player. Thank you very much Roger. Incredible Always a legend on tennis court.
Magnifique les reflets de Federer ❤️👏👏👏 J en ai des frissons le Mozart du tennis
Great edit. Long live the king!
We terribly miss you, MaestroRF! MaestroRF forever & beyond! ❤️
@US Open thanks for putting this together, extremely well put together. Can you please release full Federer matches *but from the court level view*? Thanks!
FIRE & ICE - Most elegant player ever & He never looks tired.
The famous Back-Hand-Slice will always be his Trademark.
Titles aside, he's just got the most beautiful all around game that it seems to count for more than just the W's.
Lucky to have gotten into tennis right around 2004...watching him play has been amazing. When the big 3 are gone men's tennis is gonna take a massive hit. Let's hope guys like Alcaraz and Sinner can step up and take over...but these 3 guys may never be matched again.
amazing vedio ... love roger my favrt player all time miss him
Great documentary. Unfortunately, Roger lost to himself in some important matches that influenced the GS count. Despite that, he is still the GOAT in my point of view. I just hope he can play a little more, doubles included
Cant wait to be back on court this open.. miss the atmosphere
Rest In Peace Mr. Enberg
This video is case for GOAT.
It's awesome how the top players even knew he was the GOAT or on his way to be the GOAT. Agassi's comments were awesome. To hear him say "He's the best I've ever played against" wow. And Fed was still young then. And to hear another say "he see things on the court differently, I've never seen anything like him." Wow. Does anyone say that about Rafa or Djoker? No, cuz Roger was a genius. He gave Rafa and Djoker "tape" to up their games.
The greatest of all sports!
He's talented, handsome, humble, and Classy a Marketing manager's Dream come true.
Es ist herrlich diesen Bericht zu sehen! Dann ich schaue ihn 5 mal die Woche! Roger ist wirklich goat!,!!
Roger CHANGED THE GAME, he changed what it means to be a champion!

The Maestro.
Amazing and has aura around him
Other players may win more slams then him but no one is as talented and special as Roger.
this is the best video i’ve seen since roger’s retirement announcement
The record of 273 weeks at number 1 for the most weeks at number 1 will never be broken - means at his prime no one is comparable to hiim which make him the greatest ever. He brought many players to the world of tennis, invented new shots, set new standards and reached new heights he was called the goat when he had 9 slams even before he got to 15 slams and broke Sampras
let's be serious, Djokovik never lost the 1st place, if the governments didn't become totalitarian.
Master of shot placement. He changed the game of tennis.
King of 40-15
THE GOAT .
Thank you for making my childhood peRfect, Roger!
When a mother and father sit down there son and say to him...RIGHT ALL I WANT FROM YOU IN LIFE IS TO GROW UP AND ACT LIKE ROGER FEDERER AND I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST AND PROUDEST MAN AND FATHER ON EARTH !!

Great video. I can't get enough watching Federer's old matches. What's that music that starts around 10:50?
The audio levels could be balanced better, otherwise thoroughly enjoyable, thx!
2:17 he had definitely worked on his serve over the following years
For me the GOAT of tennis is no doubt Novak. If my life depended I'd choose Novak anyday. But if the style and grace of playing tennis were metrics, Roger is the best. It's beautiful to watch his game.
Terima kasih Roger Federer. Wishing you the best retirement years.
