This is how tennis is to be played. Concentration, skill, respect. Without schemes to disturb your oponent, no insolence, no insult to referees or umpire. A gentleman's game. Matches like this will become rare.
Gotta love it!
So true. I'm okay with the craziness sometimes but nothing beats this environment - full focus, prestige, minimal crowd factor / scheming.
Exactly why these two are the greatest champions in men's tennis.
@@giantsquid2 after Novak
@@arunsekhar7931 Djokovic fans make fun of fed and nadal fans for clinging to calling them goats, but oftentimes there are a lot of weird Djokovic fans like you that feel the need to prove something
All 3 players are each the GOAT for their own surface. Nadal Clay, Fed Grass, Djok Hard. But the rivalry of Federer vs Nadal is so historic. What a time to be alive. Makes you emotional to think that it's all in the past now. But at least we have videos that we can watch back
You got it man!
Isnât much of a rivalry when Federer always got slapped by Nadal. Just check the record against each other.
@@nath-wp7xp 24 wins to 16, I wouldnât call it âalways slappedâ. Also Fed won 7 out of the 8 last matchesâŠ
Sampras is the goat of grass.
Federer is also if course and in general he is the goat of all around play with amazing quality strokes.
Nadal is more serious player , more serious for the win and for purpose, so as a man.
Federer purely tennistically makes some strokes , he has the capacity to do some strokes at higher level to Nadal or Djokovic in general.
And of course Sampras in fast courts , such as the ones of early nineties and mid nineties is best.
Federer Nadal rivalry is historically one sided
Idk man this tournament still hurts. Only if he could cros the line in final, this win would have been legendary. defeating novak and nadal back to back for his final slam would have been a story to remember
Would have been crazy
Idk what to say... Then why Roger whyyyy.... Djokovic certainly doesn't deserve the game... FFS.... Roger would've been 21
This broke me.. This tournament was Federer's last real opportunity to win his 21ste GS and 9th Wimbledon title.. It would have been incredible if he defeated Nadal and Djokovic which was crazy close.đđ
for me that was when roger lost his goat status :(
dunno how many finals roger lost where he was clearly the favorite (even on sand against nadal once) but couldnt finish the job mentally
â@@Ernaldinho1993 yeah one of the saddest moments in tennis history for me (even worse than wimbledon 2008 and ao 2009 ...)
Over two years later and this still hurts. Beating Nadal and Djokovic to win his 9th Wimbledon title would've been epic. But to perform like that against champion players 5 years younger than him at age 37 underscores his greatness.
Correct Victor!
But Roger deserves this Wimbledon than anyone... Djokovic got lucky...
Roger lost the final that year to Novak cos Rafa had taken a lot out of him in this match
@@sids1907 He beat Nadal quite comfortably in 4 sets. It's more Federer choking along with Djokovic's crazy mental strength to win. That's why he is the goat in tennis.
@@AzAkh60 I wouldnât say he choked, he performed unbelievably well and the match went on forever! The longer they played more difficult it had to become for Fed. He lost 13-12 :O
This is amazing to watch! I know it wouldn't be at this level, but I can't help but hope they will play again. Mostly, I just want to see Roger playing again. I miss him and that beautiful one-handed backhand!
I hope they'll play once again
honestly I started watching tennis because of federer and nadal. I was not a big fan of tennis but after watching a short BBC movie on federer when he had 14 slams and that 2008 Epic final I fell in love with tennis. Both are legends always to be remembered in the history of tennis.
Me to brotherâ€â€â€
Gotta love the duo
I started watching tennis because of Federer in 2005 when he beat Agassi in US Open Final. That match was such magic. Federer on top but Agassi the beast fighting back and only the last set was one sided. I guess Agassi ran out of gas by then and in those days, 30+ was too old.
Roger played a final before playing another final. Incredible!
For real!
People can say whatever they want,like they love Nadal for this,and Djokovic for that,but without Roger this game lost something deeply essential... The beauty and the magic that will never be recovered... In my heart,like in that poem,I feel like a poet 'has died',so it doesn't matter what kind of trader is born after that... Thank you Roger for everything.
You said it like Roger made tennis. I can't understand it. You said Roger is like poet of tennis. How much legends tennis had and how much have now and how much will have in further? More. If we look statistic and records, Nadal and Djokovic are better than Federer and it's reality.
@@matijamanojlovic2456 Of course he didn't "make it",but he certainly,and of course that Nadal and Djokovic are and will be more sucessful in the manner of results,but that was not my point at all. In time,I realized that there are two groups of people. The dominant one are those who cares only by the results,and due to that,they form their opignion,and the other that are born with a talent to recognize the art above hard work and discipline. Well,we all know that Germany won the World cup four times,but the people will always love more Messi and Maradona than Schweinsteiger. That Is also the everlasting enigma why despite the better results of Nadal and Djokovic comparing to him,Roger Is dominantly the most loved one
@Stefan Lukic love this..I can assure you know sports better than anyone else.
@@omkaarsawant Thank you very much...
@@matijamanojlovic2456 it's how that person FEELS about Federer in their heart not the bloody stats!!! That person is entitled to have whatever feelings they have..and you cannot criticize that AT ALL..
LEGENDS!! I wish we could see Roger one more time. đđđ
Hope so as well!
Is this 2018?
The first two and a half minutes were simply amazing and thats just the first set. Federer vs Nadal is always so epic.
The last two minutes were even better!
Roger and Rafa: the 2 GOATs and most gracious players. They will be playing in Charity Events until both are 99.
Hopefully haha
Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal miss you so much â€â€â€
Yessirr
This match was just incredible, probably goes down as one of Rogerâs sweetest victories. Like he was just amazing, threw everything at Rafa and delivered on literally every aspect of his game. Credit to Rafa too, he always puts up a great fight and is so strong defensively. Honestly, the quality of tennis during the match was extraordinary and hopefully theyâll face off again even if itâs just once more. Great legendsđđŻ
Insane match indeed!
We all would love to see few more strong years from fed but the truth is we will never Stop to want that. RFed has entertained us a lot and it will be cherished forever. Let's wish him a beautiful chapter of life after tennis â€ïž True Legend alongside Rafa and Joker
Great comment!
In some ways I think there's a bit of poetry to what may end up being their last two matches against each other.
Nadal won with a comfortable score at RG, on his best surface, even if parts of the match were close.
Federer won at Wimbledon, on his best surface, with Nadal giving him a very tough match.
Agreed David!
and it was just like their starting meeting when they met in RG and wimbledon back to back for 2006, 2007, 2008. 2019 was the best year ever.
It feels good to now that I've witnessed the, arguably, pinnacle of tennis.
Possibly!
Thanks God I was watching this match live. I was expecting this 5 set thriller but unfortunately in the fourth set Fed took the match away. But still it was classic. Main take away of this match was in the long rallies Federer was winning.
Would've been nice to see a fifth set!
Rafa's grit...... Roger's artistry!!
Exactly!
Good news: It has been announced that Fedal will play together in the 2022 laver cup!
So excited!
The 2019 Wimbledon final still annoys me to this day even though it was 2.5 years ago. It's still fresh and remember it like yesterday. Still can't believe Federer lost especially having 2 match points on serve while serving aces on his previous points. He choked and felt he lost his goat status to Djokovic that day. If Federer won that final he still be the goat today along with having won 9 Wimbledon's which is the most prestigious Grand Slam out of the 4. Credit needs to be given to Djokovic with his crazy mental strength to recover and win the title. Federer has no chance of winning another Slam, a shame.
Yeah I feel that. This win over Rafa would have been even sweeter had he won that match. Novak's mental strength is too much though.
@@RogerThatTennis Although I am from Serbia, I am a great Federer's fan... I still can't rest from that final,and for me,no matter the results,Roger will always be the greatest of all time.
The reason is that F is coward on his second sever , not DJOKO was great !

This might very well NOT be their last meeting in SW19...
Nadal and Federer is The GOAT Of Tennis
are*
Very nice indeed
@@RogerThatTennis thanks
nole goat
@@Kristian89 No
Still remember watching this match live on TV. This and the RG'19 semi final happened just a few weeks apart, with Roger winning on grass and Rafa on clay
The master of the grace and precision in tennis vs the master of the effort and grit in tennis. Will never see 2 like these again
Unreal!
The finesse of many times Federer makes strokes is amazing.
Makes it look so easy!
Video titles that break my heart - top one on the list
I am sorry Carol :/
Two legend's â€â€â€
Fed is goat most complete player ever only any surface and could during any era heâs Jordan of tennis record means nothing. Jordan has six rings whilst bill Russell had 11 so it ainât all about the rings itâs the way you play
Clay ? đ¶
@@vibraniumforever985 Federer was great on clay.He lost to Nadal a few times in a final.
haha most complete player ever is Novak Djokovic who beat Nadal 2 times in RG and Federer 3 times in Wimbledon. Also only Novak won all masters and all grand slams twice. Period.
@@robertratajczak3931 Novak isnât the most complete player ever he may have those records but from tennis style and technique he isnât not even top three. Period.
@@Aaron-fj1hl if you are record breaker that means you have to be most complete player. You cant beat records without having all skills
Wow! Watching this I realized how much I miss Rogerđ„
we might at Wimbledon 2022, but in much earlier stages...also a Masters, also earlier stages.
Hopefully!
@@RogerThatTennis Yeah, this whole plandemic just robbed us from a couple of matches that might have taken place between the 2, so i am 90% sure we will get a rematch in one tournament or the other,
Used to always bite my nail ,when Nadal and Federer play,as I was a Federer fan and Nadal just seemed to have Federer' s number.They were always enjoyable matches though
Great to watch them!
That dynamic changed after Roger got a bigger racket in 2014. Rafa couldnât pick on Fedâs backhand. The record has been strongly in favor of Fed since then. Roger shouldâve upgraded the racket a few years earlier. He would have a few more Grandslams.
Except for set 2 when he switched off, Roger had too much variety and outplayed Rafa that day
@@jonathanlim7091 amazing display!
I still think about those 4 championship points every day
It hurts!
god i could watch Roger play for hours. out of the big 3 he may not hold most records anymore but he sure is just a joy to watch. I always think: this is how Tennis really should be played. nobody comes close imo
Guy's built different
That's how I feel about Nadal. Of the three, Federer is actually the one I find the least enjoyable to watch. Great champion though đ
@@markjamie4002 oh cmon now you cant be serious man :)
@@gratler Just a personal preference. In particular, I find his backhand ugly. And I LOVE long baseline rallies where the tension builds and builds. Federer ends too many points with his serve, which I find boring. I understand this isn't a popular opinion though.
I also used to dislike Federer as I found him ungracious when he lost - however as he has aged, I have grown to like him far more.
@@markjamie4002 its ok man everyone has his preference. I have to be honest i prefer Roger for just the reasons you dislike him: i dont like long rallies. I find it so interesting that Roger is always hunting for that chance to end the point quickly as opposed to the other side which is usually interested in extending the point. How you can find his backhand ugly is utterly bewildering to me though. I mean that one hander is poetry in motion. i think all two handers look cramped. I much much prefer anybody playing one handers.
A blessing for the viewers
100%
I miss it already đ€© đ
So nice!
The 2017 Australian Open will probably be the last Federer-Nadal Grand Slam Final. The end of an era.
Probably :/
You never know :). No one predicted a Fedal Final in 2017. I know it's almost impossible for Fed now at 41 but you just never know with these GOATs. I mean how many people thought Nadal would win AO 2022 even without Djoker.
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
The last Clasico on the tour. It was an amazing match.
It really was!
Hopefully they will play exhibition matches when theyâre older.
I hope the same!
What a great level of tennis Federer played in 2019. Hoping for his return to tour
Same over here!
amazing.
What's that tune at the very end please? Sounds like a little banger.
I don't know if we will see another match between them but they will be for sure in the same team at the laver cup this year so that's something
Hopefully none gets injured
Wow; I've never heard Federer "grunt" before. Shows just how intense these matches were.
He always grunts when serving second serves, and then sometimes during points, usually when he's having some difficulties putting on some pressure on his opponent.
Huge match man!
@@sfrerku agreed and he also grunts more often on clay as it's physically demanding surface. Although this was one helluwa intense match vs Rafa. Too bad he couldn't make it vs Nole.
@@skylaxx I'm not sure if clay is the more phisically demanding surface...for your joints I would say most definitely not...hard court makes you put on a lot more muscle and joint sudden stress when braking and changing directions...I've seen myself ending up quite more fatigued on my knees when I play on hard courts...clay is more forgiving and more friendly with body movements as long as you keep your balance right. And even though you accelerate slower when sprinting on clay, it is the same scenario for your opponent, so technically you are in no disadvantage. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Cheers mate.
It hurts man..
One more time at the wimbledon finalsđ
That'd be sick!
This tournament will hurt forever
A tough one!
It is probably the only match where Rafa hit more aces than Roger in the match, 11 to 10 and amazingly this has happened on a grass court
Oh wow, I've never realized this!
RAFA THE GOAT â€â€â€đ„đ„đ„
One of them haha
The two Greats of the Game
Yesss
As I'm watching all the 6'4"-6'6" cookie cutter players at this year's AO, in my mind I could hear Andy Murray saying about Roger, "Nobody plays like him." Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas (even with his SHB), FAA, Sinner, Berrettini, etc. Stick all their names in a paper bag and pull one out. It's all the same game - big serve, hard hitting FH, comes to net a little bit, stands 4 feet behind the baseline, wallops every ball as hard as possible, decent court coverage for tall guys, some shaky backhands, too many double faults, mediocre volleying, occasionally tries to play one of Roger's signature shots, etc., etc. They could all literally be the same guy...except...Medvedev actually gets the job done and wins.
Calling medvedev not unique đ
Sorry but you really need to appreciate these guys more: Zverev and Shapo have some of the best backhands on the tour right now; Medvedev has incredible defensive skills, almost akin to Nadal's; and Tsitsipas really has a beautiful transition game, as well as an excellent spot serve. Just because they're not all Roger Federer doesn't mean they aren't unique in their own way.
If Federerâs grunts matched his shots, it would be deafening.
Hahah right
We will never know this is the last match .. they can play each other if Roger returns again
Federer is pretty determined and already training again. I think he will be back. They will play again.
I mean, one day we will know
I already miss it...
Yessirr
truly the end of an era
The Golden Era
Talent vs Hardwork.
It was a great match but honnestly it looks like hard court, not Grass court. Not very fast. It helps strong players. Probably Federer wins much more Wimbledon with Real fast Grass court
It has definitely change
I don't think so. As Feds ranking drops, the higher the probability these 2 will meet as early as in the 3rd round.
Maybe actually!
Glad to see fed avenge defeat from 2008 here. Despite being 37/38 here fed was rarely dominated in rallies and deservedly won. If per the norm then queue the usual excuses that nadal was injured.
The final ruins this match. Could have been the perfect ending. But Fed has been always the naerly man when in cusp of reaching the height of greatness
Pure tennis
G.O.A.T. is Andre AGASSI. He won all.
He was world no.1 and he won..
1. Australian open.
2.French open.
3.Wimbledon.
4.Us open.
5.year end world championship
6.Olympic Gold medal.
NO ONE HAS ACHIEVED HIS FEAT.
Nonsense. They are playing together in laver cup this September, and there's a good chance rafa sweeps through roger in the early rounds of Wimbledon this year.
See them at RG!
Why the LAST EVER Fedal match? Did I miss something? As far as I know Fed hasnât retired yet.
The uploader probably means it's the last one they played so far
The Table did you read the title and description?
Hopefully they'll do a few exhibitions matches after they retire
God Tier.
Yessirrr
1:38 jeeez
Too good!
70% of those shots would have been winners against anyone outside the big 3.
Right!
What sucks is,we had to see Federer lose after this even with championship points.
Tough!
We'll see it again...
Hope you're right Luke
2:25 Ballboy at the net started running.. point could have been replayed
Good eye!
Hope that's not true
Me too!
funny fact, Nadal won their first match...Roger won their last
Thatâs nice!
Why is this last?
Not necessarily
Bro........... What are telling bro
I thought Federer didn't gave Retirement for him?
Can anyone reply... Plzzzzzz
How do we know this is the last one? Neither has retired yet
When these 2 play itâs fun to watch because theyâre completely opposite in playing style.
Right! Still play so well against each other
Dernier Fedal ???
N'Ă©tait-ce pas plutĂŽt Ă Roland GARROS 2020 ?
fedal is djokovic's favorite breakfast at wimbledon
Hopefully not the last đ€đ€
I hope I'm wrong :)
Thatâs ok we will get Nederer
I believe Prior to this match Federer hadn't beaten Nadal and then lost the next round
Why last time ??
Dramatical purposes. But also very likely
I don't follow tennis
May I know why they can't play against each other after this ?
How do you know they'll never play again?
Federer had the best chance to win Wimbledon 2019 which he missed it
2 match points on serve, on grass with Federer's serve.... how he lost this I will never know. Should be 21-21-19 now.
Exactly
So are tennis match fixed? I think its to strange that these 3 players have won so much the last 1-2 decades. Same with Ronaldo and Messi.
They're just too good man. No fixing
I dont think this match will be the last between roger and rafa
I hope it is not Leo!
At least if it is Roger won it lol
Nadal and Djoko didn t have much 5-6 years younger competition did they
oh man this is delicious.
So good!
Last? You don't know for sure. There's still chance for more.
why is this the last fedal match ever? They haven't retired yet!
Which year r u in.we r at 2044
Came back from the future
Federer is retiring? Why this is the last time?
The end is near!
How do u know? Federer hasn't announced his retirement yet. And if he returns to full fitness there's every chance they could meet again!
I hope you are right but chances are quite low :/
This match was 10 times better than the final which was a joke. One of the worst and most overhyped Big 3 matches ever. The quality was garbage all throughout the match, made me even angry at times.
Nah if Federer plays again pretty sure they'll draw him up against Nadal or Djokovic in early rounds.
Are you sure this is the LAST Fedal match...?
Very likely
