2017 Australian Open Final
2018 Australian Open Final
And Sadly 2019 Wimbledon Final, I Will Never Forget These Matches In My Life. Really The Previous Decade Was Unbelievable, Federer Won Grandslam At The Age Of 36.
When it comes to tennis, I think outside technical (Djokovic) and tenacious (Nadal) abilities, in terms of raw talent, Roger Federer is the absolute best! He's like the definition of tennis.
Rafa fan here and that's why he's the GOAT to me. If you want to show somebody how tennis is play, just show him Federe's highlights... "Everybody wants to be like Mike"
YOUR definition of tennis
Djokovic is not a technical player.
@@nicoslater8750 he is highly technical
I am rafa fan. But can't agree more with you. He is the most talented of all.
Let alone numbers be aside
He is like Lionel Messi for me. Profoundly gifted in all regards to their sport but can be so entirely humble at the same time. It is so good to live in this time and experience people like them
Messi so gifted that he can't play with his right foot. Try again. Don't put the pure genius/talent of Federer on the same level than the overrated Argentinian.

messi is undisputedly the greatest of all time and after hus recent 8th balon dor,im sure retards like you will remain real quiet@@divicospower9112
@FabricioFF66 so perfect he could not beat Djokovic for an entire decade
It’s too bad Federer couldn’t keep this form up and defend Wimbledon, too.
Still tho. To defend Australian Open at the age of 36 is just crazy.
@DS AO 2017: Berdych, Nishikori, Mischa (who has beaten Murray), Wawrinka (who was the US Open Champion) and Nadal. Wow what a special draw.
AO 2018: Struff (not a bad player at all), Gasquet (a known name), Fucsovics (played phenominal in this Tournament), Berdych (in absolutely strong Form), Chung (who faced Djokovic), Cilic (1 GS + Wimbledon Final).
Hmmmm. Looks not so easy to me. Nadals victory in the 2017 US Open was easy.
@DS when fed wins is the weak era , its the pathetic draw again this bulshit , when djoker wins everything is hard ,until federer beat him in his peak at roland garros.
@DS Stop talking like you know something. Anyone who believes in the weak era is a parasitical moron.
Melzer took a set off Federer and Rubin gave him a good run, too, I believe was a break up in the 3rd. Wawrinka won AO 14 you moron, as well as USO 16. So who's a pigeon again?
Federer earned all his Grand Slam wins. Don't be that asshole.
@DS we get it you hate roger
@DS Who says I'm angry? You're calling me a kid? If that's all you got you better get off the internet.
Stop talking like you know something about Roger and tennis. People like you are pathetic. Why can't you just respect all players? Oh wait, you can't. Forgot.
And you say I need to go to school. The idiocy in some people, I swear.

8:31 Genius !
yep
one of the best shots ive ever seen
Nadal or djokovic would have overturned that shots to their points
Thw best ever
This was neither a classic nor a bad match... it was a very weird match. There were hardly any stretches in the match where both the players played well, Roger started pretty good and was cruising for set and half, then his level dropped and Cilic started playing well and won the TB. Federer then played pretty good at the start of 4th set, got the break and I thought he would wrap it easily in 4 sets...but then Cilic peaked all of a sudden, Roger looked rattled, gets broken twice and loses the set. At this point, Cilic had all the momentum, I thought Roger might lose this. That first game of 5th set was so crucial, if he would have gotten broken there, I doubt he would have won it. He badly needed that game after getting broken in last 2 service games.
Federer played very passive in this game and this was probably his most passive performance in a non-clay GS final. One thing which surprised me was that he hardly went BH DTL in this match, he hardly had any winners from baseline in this match. If Cilic's ROS wasn't so inconsistent, he could have won this. On the whole, a very strange match and a very strange performance from Roger but got the job done in the end. Now, waiting for #21 at SW19
Most likely cuz fed was super nervous in this match as he said so himself in his interviews post match. As the overwhelming favorite to win, there was obviously a lot more pressure in this final than in the 2017 one.
Cilic 's super aggressive groundstrokes made federer look passive . Cilic was throwing his full power at literally everything.
Wabbajam Whooy Yes and I find it hard to believe that at his age and with so much success and experience Federer still suffers from nerves. He is a champion of champions and its his humility that stands out for me. A phenomenal athlete but its amazing that someone as good as Roger at times suffer from nerves, more so of late. I hope he wins another Wimbledon but even if doesn't he will anyways be the most admired champion.
Sports Fanatic d
If you look back on 2017 his AO final against Nadal isn't exactly a very high quality one either. The first four sets are marked by momentum shifts, one player would capitalize on the other's error strewn play before receiving the same treatment a few games after. The 5th set though was remarkable, and the legacy surrounding the match made it all the more better.
Robbie Koenig 😂 his squeaky commentary never gets old
Honestly this match was basically Federer fighting with himself to play good lmao
I know right ? I just realized it now but, you know, for every match or final you have different special shots of each opponent. When both players have intense rallies showing off their best tennis. And there are always atleast some points or rallies which you remember. For example at the Australian Open 2017 there is this intense rally or the special nadal forehand slice passing shot or some other federer backhand winners.
And for this match the only thing i really can remember after rewatching it is this amazing forehand halfvolley behind his back by federer. I don't know if we are just spoiled about the amazing shots the big 4 have given us each match when playing or to say against each other. But for me this final isnt really one that will be remembered because of the high level of play.
gLeeksFF yeah whatever you say
Never was
Sorry mate.....federer didn't win here easily........
@@ddddddsssssss cilic was the favourite, he was destroyed by Federer who put himself in the god mode when he needed to
How do you post a 24 minute video, but skip both breaks in the 5th set? You know, the thing that decided who won the match...

Love you forever, Roger! This was one of the most exciting sports moments of my life, because it taught me that you should never let yourself be limited by what they tell you you can do at your age.
Love the GOAT Federer.

The best in history! GOAT! Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Everywhere Federer plays the crowd is totally cheering for him. The God of tennis.
Love 22:55 Roger’s face when he realize have to wait hawk eye.
Compared to 2017, the noticeable difference is that federer is slicing the ball way too much. Watching videos of AO17, you see the difference. I dont know why he has lost that NEO backhand.
Muhammad Ali Zaidi i guess, but maybe it’s just cilic. Because if you realize when he vs Nadal he doesn’t slice that much, I guess he just looks at the players style and he decides if it would be smart to use it.
Slice was like a jab, keeping it low makes the taller guys have to use the legs more to get low enough. Might not look like a lot, but over 3 or 4 hours it pays dividends.
Neo backhand my ass, he only won slam because djoko was injured, period
@@junbermas4208 salty much?
Czura s Yes, cause 1st Cilic is big and has to go down very much to get those slices and 2nd Cilic can’t really gain power out of those low slices so Federer can dominate better.
My expectation is Roger will announce sometime before AO22 that it will be his last year on the tour. I think he understands what he means to the fans & wants to give them the chance to see him play one last time at each Slam. Health permitting.
I doubt. I think he will announce his retirement. I mean he just went through a third knee Surgery.
I’m from the future and he just announced his retirement after the US Open
@@Andreas1986xyz He wanted to play another season but the knee just didn’t heal the way he needs it to play Bof5. And he’s not going out there as a faded shell. Really sucks he can’t go out in his own terms.
For me it's simple. No interest in goat debates... im a tennis fan since mid seventies. Federer is the "prettiest" (among top players in history - shapo still too young, kyrgios doesnt win enough, etc) to watch, since Edberg, w an honorable mention to Pete of course.
Roger has played his entire career, every point with a view to win the point as fast as logically possible. Safin didnt have the same variety or consistancy. But that's the type of mental focus. Attack. Rafa and Novak will end up on par success wise, no doubt. But Roger simply to my eyes of viewing tennis on hard or grass, has every shot in the book, and the most visually pleasing of the big 3.
Totaly legit opinion, that is about taste.. when we talk about best player ever, it is different story
Great work AO
Golden legend in universal
Cilic’s latter 4th set and early 5th set were like US open in 2014

Look how fast the court is playing. Looks like an old school hard court. No wonder Federer won the AO in 2017 and 2018 when they suddenly sped the court up. If they hadn't slowed all the courts down so much, he would have won more, which is why the GOAT debate is silly. It's all conditional.
True... Nadal is the most beneficial !!
Federer & Djokovic wud have won more slams had the courts werent slowed
Great players great sport I grew up seeing ashe vs connors.big names then.pj.thanks.
SU MAJESTAD 👑🐐❤🇨🇭
He notado que en estos últimos años, Federer se encorva mucho al momento de servir, a diferencia de sus años dorados (2004-2007).
I can't believe it's been more than 5 years since roger won his last major
thank you.very very very good.bay bay bay
The final game of the match is one of the most hilarious stomps of the tournament XD
Fed makes the game beautiful to watch, Nadal, mental, Djoko, hopeless (to the other player).
how is that even possible with the age of 36 defend a title on hard court ? i thougt the only one who will defend at this age is wimbledon O_O amazing Roger ^.^that's why you'll always be the greatest of all time #RF20
According to your logic, Ken Rosewall is the real GOAT. Ken Rosewall defended his Australian Open title at age 37, not 36.
Modern era, dumbass.
What do you mean modern era? There's the amateur era which was before 1968 and the open era which is 1968 and onward.
@@thientran9461 There is no such thing as "modern era". Ken Rosewall remains the only player to win a Grand Slam at age 37 in the Open Era.
Marcos Villavicencio You're comparing two very different eras here. Federer's victory is more impressive, because:
A) We live in an era where power is much more important than when Rosewall played
B) Stronger opposition for Roger (most definitely in the QFs and F, not necessarily in the SF)
What's so amazing about Rosewall though, is that he also won 3 grand slams in doubles. Now that's just an absolutely amazing feat, if you ask me.
Thank you AO!!

Was his opportunity. Break point on a second serve and he throws it away like that.
@@matijacvitkovic3735 He might not have won though, being a break up does not guarantee you will win, look at Nadal, 3-0 up in the finals at AO2017, and still lost.

The Greatest of all time
people saying cilic has a small heart. partially true.... but his game style involves with whacking the ball hard and taking it early to win a match. when it's on it's hard to deal with as you could see the ball was traveling 80-90mph landing on the lines. but on the other side that mean small fluctuation is going to damage his game a lot.
8:30 best shot of the match
How the hell did he do that?😳

He must've thought then, he had sealed himself as the best ever. To me he will always be goat no matter what.
Roger Federer superman
21:10 backhand fury
The recognition of the huge superiority of the Master is obvious by the crys of anger of his opponents.

GOOD highlights but the 5th set was cut too short.
12:08 THOR😅⚡️
History still written here
The serve at 16:00 I am a huge Fed fan but I believe it's Cilic's point. Fed wasn't put off by the out call (hit the same time as the call)
Anyone else miss when Federer didn’t slice most of his backhands?
He got away with it here, but he’s always been best as an aggressive player in my opinion.
happy birthday Rog
One of the more strange five-setters I’ve seen. Definitely a one-sided five-setter, like when Murray beat Federer at the 2013 Australian Open semifinal.
Superman
🐐
Federer is the greatest tennis player but possibly the greatest athlete of all time. 36 year old winning best of five matches on hard courts against players in their prime. Unbelievable. Where was Rafa abs Novak? So much for that silly “weak era” argument. Federer at his best beats everyone. End of story. This match wasn’t his best but it revealed how is grit and will to win. I remember thinking that colic was going to take it after the fourth but Federer will kicked it into another gear that fifth set which 36 year olds shouldn’t be able to do. Too bad the AO didn’t stay grass courts so that Federer could have more slams. That’s what surprises me about Federer wining back to back Australian opens because it’s a best of five on a slower hard court. Didn’t think his body could handle it. The courts have been playing faster the last couple years but still considered one of the slower hard courts which is a shame. Here’s hoping Federer can win one slam in 2019. If not, it doesn’t really matter because it’s a real privilege to watch this incredible shot maker even without the silverware. I have a lot of respect for natal and Djokovic but I don’t know how anyone can hate Federer. Rafa and Novak are great athletes but they play such a boring, physical and defensive style of tennis. I think the reason why Federer is the most popular worldwide is because if his brilliant shit making and offensive style (movement). Win or lose, Federer plays on his terms which can’t be said about other players.
DS
No offence, but your comment made no sense. How did your brain twist a fact into “I want my favourite player to win all the time.” I was stating a fact that the AO hard courts have played very slow from 2008- 2016 and that favours baseline grinders like Novak and Rafa. Just like how a faster court like Wimbledon helps an offensive player like Federer. They’re just facts that everybody who understands tennis is already aware. Actually you helped prove my point that if the AO still had grass courts it’s not unreasonable to think Federer would have another 4 slams to his name. I didn’t under data due your point about “tiley”? Are u saying you can’t explain how Federer won back to back Australian opens?
DS
You’re a fucking hypocrite. So I’m not allowed to talk about court surfaces but you’re allowed to butch and complain that Federer played his matches at night? You’re pathetic. Federer is the greatest player of all time so he’s earned the right to play at prime time. What about the fact that he was 36 years old and won 3 slams in 12 months? Can your boyfriend do that? I didn’t think so. Stop being jealous of Federer and get a life.
DS
Nope. Nice try but you’re wrong. Federer’s record is safe. Nadal is finished and Novak Chokovic has one good year left. Have fun loving the rest if your life knowing that Federer is the greatest of all time and there’s nothing you can do to change this fact. If you’re that jealous of a professional tennis player then you should consider getting professional help, if you haven’t already. 😂
I do enjoy life thank you very much.
Vaffanculo bruto stronzo
Messi is but u biased and so am I so probably usain bolt
So if I have a 2018 prius is that a classic?
I don't have a word for 20 grand slams. Rafa or Novak might get more than 20 slams but that don't matter because roger is the goat and will never be replaced.
On what grounds is he the goat, the no. Of GS won right? So it does matter
"Federer will remain the GOAT forever even if another player achieves the greatest records because my idol is the most loved or beautiful to watch"
A brilliant example of partiality 😴😪
Federer's fanboys really need to stop acting so badly. *The GOAT debate should not involve the affect and personal preference of each one but be based on the figures, statistics, on the palmares.*
*This is the best way to be objective* on the subject. Whether you like/dislike the game and/or the personality of a player, whatever he is, it's not crucial and should not be taken into account. Impartiality otherwise the opinion has little credibility. To date it is Federer but it can very well change if Nadal or Djokovic exceeds his records
Please don't be a sore loser just because the situation could not suit anymore your guru 🙄
Federer tu nous manques
His last stand, after Wimbledon 2012 many didn't believe he will win another Grand Slam, but Australian open 2017-18 and Wimbledon 2017 were proof that he wasn't done.
He's toast
