his speech about the ball boys shows perfectly what kind of man he is. No matter the number of titles, he will remain the greatest...at least for me :). nobility, class and honesty are not measured in victories
haha whatever makes yall happy, but he will never be the goat. Just beause someones favorite player may be wawrinka would not make him goat lol. novak and nadal clear of him
Not only did Roger correct the score, the moment he saw Stan trip, he seemed like he purposely hit the backhand out. Like he doesnt want to win with any handouts or flukes or just out of respect for his buddy. A true gentleman Roger is!
One of the reasons why Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time is because of his wonderful character - caring, humble, ethical, philanthropic, friendly and a true gentleman!
@@AnkitBhatiaatisn’t that one of reason why Roger is all the more inspiring ? Because he made many young , temperamental players believe that they could be good guys and inspire many others
@@agradina dude what 😂😂 Novak is clear goat nowadays everybody knows it lol….he is better than fed in like everything and also superior to nadal. Like it or not that’s how it is and he is the goat 😁
@@ronartest7748-- It's very disconcerting. Do you believe, somehow, that a statement like that is an honor to someone of Nadal's character? It's always interesting to me that someone can be a fan of an athlete who is exemplary, gentlemanly, never a braggart nor a bully, and yet, as a fan of theirs chooses to speak for them in a manner they would never condone. Nadal, of all people, would be disappointed.
Its almost like perfect sitcom comedic timing, shot is played, Haase says his line, Roger has perfect comeback, audience laughs, camera goes to umpire pressing 'FAULT' lol
I'm a Rafa fan too! and for a brief period, he was the GOAT if we go by majors. Federer was untouchable besides in the French, but I doubt anybody will surpass Novak. He's earned it. Rooting for Alcaraz now! 😅
Miss him so very much. It's not only about his tennis but his presence attitude and personality. Miss the grace he brought into the court. It's very painful, hurts a lot not seeing him play.
Funny how the video shows what Verdasco did to a ball boy. As a ref, I can tell you what a player does on court is reflective of his genuine personality. Federer is a great role model to the younger generations.
fr, everyone has a "theoretical best" and an "emotional best" and you can't excuse missing the latter by saying you know the former. Imo your genuine personality is a 25-75 mix of what you theoretically believe and what you end up doing in the moment
That last interview!! I mean I already respected and loved this man a lot, but the last clip made me admire him just a bit more. Tennis is just not the same without him
The absolute King of Sportsmanship; no one in any other sport has ever or will ever match Rogers courtesy and conduct. The light of tennis dimmed a bit when Roger took his leave, but how fortunate we all are to have watched a true hero during his career. GOAT for sure.
But it is about the prizes and achievement otherwise we wouldnt be giving them. He is not the GOAT but I like him very much. Why has to be the goat debate after all....just enjoy
@@dannycarlow8204 yea except alot are ATP 250s lol. Federer has 14 less big titles than Djokovic and more than a year less at no.1. It probably would be 2 years if we account for the rankings freeze and Nole’s ban from US/Australia.
Even if I re-watch Roger's videos in 10 years, I'd still be happy and glad I was lucky enough to see him play, not only at grand slams but also for kids day out and exhibition match.
I have always felt that FEDERERISM is a word that can be coined to mean "Laser Focus" ... Like many have said, He is the GOAT for me ... Apart from his talent and elegance, He is such a honour for Tennis ... You can shower every imaginable positive tag on Him and still it won't be enough ... a Class Act and so unique ... BTW, I am a Rafa fan
Tragically, we rarely see this kind of decency, integrity and class from any athlete in any sport these days. If you have a child who is interested in competitive sports, Roger Federer is truly a great role model for how you conduct yourself on and off the court, field, pitch, ice, etc. In this age of end zone celebrations, players routinely posturing and motioning for the fans to cheer them, whining, bickering, tantrums...I fear we shall not see Roger Federer's like again.
Rodger Federer is the greatest tennis player and one of the greatest athletes of all time. To watch his entire career was a privilege. I already miss seeing him on the tour.
Wow. Arguably the greatest tennis player ever asked the ball boy if he dropped the ball and, upon confirmation, didn't argue the call? What exemplary sportsmanship. Get that man some medals. Such humility.
We need far more Federer's in the world. They aren't just playing for themselves either, as much as they might feel they are. They area also setting an example for future generations, something that many of them should take some time to think about before they take the court again.
My favorite tennis player of all time. These examples are a big reason why. I also feel he is the greatest tennis player of all time, but everyone has their own thoughts on that.
That s why he s the goat. Numbers can go up, there will be players with more wins... but noone changed style 3 times like him. No one will have his class.
I have never seen any kind of cold discussion happening with Roger at the net during his entire career n most importantly never heard anyone say sorry at the net . Loved the way he said u don’t ve to . Maybe he perfected his behavior to brand his image but ppl watching him especially a young tennis player ll understand that it’s possible to be successful n yet be nice
I don't think his image directed his behaviour. His behaviour made the image. Even his post match conferences were always so informative; he would break his game down, and wasn't harsh anytime.
just so you know, you're allowed to grow as a person. I'm sure if we went back into your past in 2011 you'd have some skeletons in your closet@@1ena585
What an up-standing guy! Especially what he said about the ball kids. I only follow tennis because my wife watches it, but I recognize great sportsmanship when I see it. No screaming, no yelling, no showmanship. Just played his game...and won...a lot!
On the other hand we can see Verdasco just doing Verdasco things. Like the time he insulted Gasquet and the whole crowd during a match, what an another classy moment it was.
That's a human right there....after correcting the score he didn't even let those mumbling pride to enter his brain. Cz he knows what is is made of and where he goes after all this ends. That's a human right there....
goat , i dont know why luck was besides djokovic in saving multiple match points vs federer in grand slams finals because otherwise federer would have had 2 gs more and djoker 2 less until this moment , but i have no doubt that peak federer will beat peak djokovic.
Roger was always the most sportsmanlike player ever. Win or lose he always gave credit to his opponent. Exactly opposite of the excuse driven Serena on the women's side.
As a german i look up to him, not as a tennis player, because i never was interested in! But i always have been interested in humanity and being a good human being and Roger is all that a man should be! Great respect from Germany!!

I don't care how high the stakes are, you don't verbally abuse children. Period.

I think abuse is a bit harsh there. But he could have been better.
Roger: Look at me I’m the umpire now
Comment of the decade, seriously!! 😂
Not only did Roger correct the score, the moment he saw Stan trip, he seemed like he purposely hit the backhand out. Like he doesnt want to win with any handouts or flukes or just out of respect for his buddy. A true gentleman Roger is!
Definitely. Roger would never miss a shot that bad.
he hit it out because the previous ball was already called out
@@jimiyu.Please watch it again my friend. That is not correct
it doesn't matter. It was 5-2 and he won the first set. There was no way he'd lose.
@@KP-by4eu Always possible to lose if you haven't yet won.
"It's Out." - Sportsmanship, confidence... damn.
Respect for that umpire standing up for the ballboy also.
One of the reasons why Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time is because of his wonderful character - caring, humble, ethical, philanthropic, friendly and a true gentleman!
For us of a certain vintage Rod Laver was also a superb sportsman.
Well the game is now very different with Alcaraz and a few young guys, but Federer is a unique talent and so far nobody had been that way yet.
Younger Federer wasn't any of those things lol
@@AnkitBhatiaat But he grew up and became his true self .I think every genuine tennis fan misses Roger 's style and grace.

never will be lol

@@juve788 ur everybody seem to include nobody since u consider me and the majority everybody .
Verdasco should have received a official warning for that behaviour.
And fined for it.
Yeah that was particularly young kid and he didn’t do anything wrong at all.
And banned from tennis for life.
And have his chest hair cut
Verdasco was always a clown and a low class
And THAT'S why he is the Maestro!!!
I miss him so much already...

A true champion doesn’t want any free points from mistakes. They want to have earned every one.
No matter his grand slam record has broken yet he is the greatest of all time.
Legend Legend Legend.
I am a Rafa fan but Roger is the greatest tennis player of all time and one of the Greatest humans who grace any game.

2:22 he legit hit it out for the sake of his opponent falling over. Damn. Too classy
Helps that Wawrinka is his friend. Was probably very worried that it could be serious.
The absolute King of Sportsmanship; no one in any other sport has ever or will ever match Rogers courtesy and conduct. The light of tennis dimmed a bit when Roger took his leave, but how fortunate we all are to have watched a true hero during his career. GOAT for sure.
Not to be contrary, but in regards to courtesy and conduct, you might want to check out the sport of Strongman. 👍
My GOAT. The GOD of tennis. Its not only about the titles and prize money. His impact all throughout the world in popularizing tennis is immense.
they only say this now that he has been overtaken
But it is about the prizes and achievement otherwise we wouldnt be giving them. He is not the GOAT but I like him very much. Why has to be the goat debate after all....just enjoy
Not really he's the most naturally tennis player I've ever seen and by far the most graceful
@@Mark-ut5oqThe only man with more match wins and titles than Roger is Jimmy.

Classiest player in sports history, in my opinion.
Mmm, no.
Jack nicklaus wae class as well
Once you re a ball kid...you are a ball kid forever.
Every week , every slam without roger is a huge pain for me
What a bloody gentleman. I can see why Jannik Sinner sees him as his idol both in terms of sport/skill and personal attitude.
Integrity is a nice thing to have. He’s classy.
Success is temporary, class permanent.

The way he said’its out’
Wouldn't it be great if the world of sports had more role models like Roger Federer?
Or just the world in general...
Rodger Federer is the greatest tennis player and one of the greatest athletes of all time. To watch his entire career was a privilege. I already miss seeing him on the tour.
Lol I remember vividly both the Wawrinka moment and how he called his own serve out. Federer was great, maybe the greatest ever.
The best, period. Tennis isn’t the same without him😢
Mens tennis is certainly far more tedious since Roger Federer retired .
Simply, the obvious BEST...❤❤
Wow. Arguably the greatest tennis player ever asked the ball boy if he dropped the ball and, upon confirmation, didn't argue the call? What exemplary sportsmanship. Get that man some medals. Such humility.
No one came close to him in his prime a mammoth slayer ❤
Great Player
Great Sportsmen
My deep Respekt 🙏
...another angel...thank...love...
The GOAT. Pure and simple
Ademas de ser el mas increible para ver, todo un caballero!!
We need far more Federer's in the world. They aren't just playing for themselves either, as much as they might feel they are. They area also setting an example for future generations, something that many of them should take some time to think about before they take the court again.
Why he will always be the goat in my eyes
This is the kind of Legend i wanna idolize.
If Djokovic plays for 100 years he will never gain the respect and admiration Federer has earned.
Donna I agree that Roger is the most popular and respected tennis player in the World.
Not only a great ambassador but human being as well all upcoming sports people should aim for this.
The ball boy will be tougher for it - the real child was the one giving him the business about the towel being too slow for delivery.
The best ever in tennis history for he has CLASS on and off the court! A tough act to follow! LEGEND! 👏👏👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Federer could easily take free points but he's playing a bigger, longer, more important game 🥰
My favorite tennis player of all time. These examples are a big reason why. I also feel he is the greatest tennis player of all time, but everyone has their own thoughts on that.
It takes much more than titles to be the GOAT
Fair man,commands respect,that’s why he’s the greatest.
That s why he s the goat. Numbers can go up, there will be players with more wins... but noone changed style 3 times like him. No one will have his class.

4:00 in other words, the ball boy might've changed the result of a professional tennis match.

GOAT.
"no, its out" like a boss.
I miss watching RF play.
Seriously. He brings tears to my eyes. Is people with his approach on live that should be in relevant positions in society.❤
No matter how many grand slams Djokovic wins, Federer will always be the greatest tennis player to ever live.
Thats why he will win sportsmanship and fan favorite reward as long as he's alive even at 80 years old 👍😀
On the other hand we can see Verdasco just doing Verdasco things.
Like the time he insulted Gasquet and the whole crowd during a match, what an another classy moment it was.
Federer ❤
Lol this is why he won the sportsmanship award for basically 15 years running (with one year interruption by Nadal).
That's a human right there....after correcting the score he didn't even let those mumbling pride to enter his brain. Cz he knows what is is made of and where he goes after all this ends. That's a human right there....
Such a gentleman! I miss him!
A video impossible to make about Djokovic.
Classy comment
Simply the GOAT
4:24 fucking boss 😂🐐
One of the best thing that Covid got us is that the tennis players doing the towels themselves
This is why i love tennis, i find the rules are flexible towards sportsmanship. Truly a gentleman's game.
Oh Federer, that's very kind of you. We miss you 😂😂
cant believe more sports arent recorded from the end line. All these sports are 10x more interesting when not viewed from the side
Amazing Video Clips thank you. Loved Roger. But mine remains Pete Sampras' match with Jim Courier where he aces him while crying.
He is a champion. His interaction with the Italian girls playing between buildings during covid lockdown is a classic moment of sports and of life!!
Love it when players respect the game more than a need for personal glory
My all time favourite.
Legend
They say tennis is a "gentleman's sport", and this man embodies that concept perfectly.
Also heroic: that ump for not throwing a fit and just letting the players focus on playing tennis. Baseball could never XD
True gentelman
I love the last one, hes a dad he tottally knows what the ballkids are feeling like
I looked it up, and Verdasco later gave a really half-assed apology for his treatment of the ball kid.
goat , i dont know why luck was besides djokovic in saving multiple match points vs federer in grand slams finals because otherwise federer would have had 2 gs more and djoker 2 less until this moment , but i have no doubt that peak federer will beat peak djokovic.
Once the GREATEST, but even the GREATEST fall short
Even during good sportsmanship where Federer literally gives a point to his opponent, the umpire still manages to mess it up…
"Nobody called out"
Fed: "it's out"
Ok sir. you're gonna win the next point anyway.
