What a fantastic subject of video you just chose, now the Federer's celebration on match point means everything.
The entire text you wrote was on point, hats off for your work of research and for the voice off bro you're killing it !
Thank you so much brother! Always means a lot coming from the legend himself ❤️
I agree. GOAT is right for FedEx. Even though he lost some technical records to an other. His elegance will be unreached for long time.
Actually the career changing incident that Awakened The MONSTER Inside Roger Federer was death of his coach Peter Carter in 2002. He described it in multiple interviews that he wanted to get rid of his anger and be a better man for Peter after he died.
Yes, this is true. And also inclusive of such events in our life that we can "take to heart" and learn from is referred to in the somewhat long comment I made above yours about what it is that can allow us to align ourselves with our destiny and not be stopped short by what is usually called fate. Thank you for your comment. I did not know of this event of Peter Carter's death and the pivotal role it played in Roger's life. So thanks, again for it reminds me that my own inevitable death, I'm 75 now, can be a great adviser as I remember it's inevitability in the face of my life's circumstances and decisions.
@@fineasfrog Thank you for your wise words. Despite being 29, I'm still tying to find my place in life; which is my destiny. I feel what Roger understood and found very early on is what only a few people get in their life. Which made him successful in every step of the way. I hope I can find something like that.
You are at a similar age to my grandmother. Hope you are healthy and when the time comes lots of years later, you can pass on with happy memories.
@@simonsiddique Hello again. Yes, it is rather rare to come upon that which can guide our steps in life. We need wisdom which can come from applying what we need to know and know what needs to be done. For me "what I needed to know to apply in my life" came through a teacher who died in 2016. One thing he taught was learning to live in the question. He covers this in the first chapter of a very readable book; though, it's title "The Alchemy of the Heart" seems a bit odd. The author's name is Reshad Feild. I can recommend getting your hands on a copy and seeing what in it strikes you that you can apply in your life. Everything in the book might not necessarily be your cup of tea, yet that doesn't matter. Never mind that just take what you need and don't be put off by the language that the essence of the words is couched in). He has to use a framework of words but also he has put the distilled essence of a lived life into his words. So don't be put off by the language he uses. You can extract the essence that may be there for you. He speaks from the heart and with common words, not technical words. I'll leave you with a joke: Two snowmen are standing out in a snowfield. One says to the other "Do you smell carrots". Hint: Our ordinary mind and its attending continuously overlooks our own simple presence (which ultimately is not separate from anything) which is not limited to the separate form that we see with the physical eyes. This simple presence is the matrix (womb) of your own human and total potential (it contains the whole of your true potential; your destiny and the way to that destiny that can unfold to you) on earth as it already in the unmanifest potential. May you travel well in this adventure we know as life.
Wow, amazing storytelling in this one my friend! Federer is the GOAT, he passes the eye-test like no one else
He doesnt pass the 40-15 test tho
@@angerisdiscipline3913 like Novak can't pass the 5-6disq. Or the covid test 👌🏼
@@TheKDX7 hahahah im FedEx fan bro nice try but I just think its unfair to call him the goat now like come on show some respect to Rafael nadal and novak djokovic, fededer is for sure not the goat and djokovic will end with 25+ slams
@@angerisdiscipline3913 world of tennis will remember of Fed in 30 or 40 yo when all talk about tennis. I'm proud to be Swiss
People didn’t admire Jordan only because he got 6 rings. They admired him because of the way he played while he got those rings. It’s the same with Federer and it’s definitely not the same with Djokovic. He doesn’t evoke that kind of emotion. Numbers and statistics are the biggest compliment you can give Djokovic, but numbers don’t do Federer’s game justice.
I couldn’t agree more. The 2003 Masters Cup was a turning point in his career. The way he beat Agassi in the final showed that something had changed on him, which was sailed with his amazing victory at the 2004 Australian Open. He eased past the likes of Nalbandian, Ferrero, Hewitt and Safin.
His early losses to Hewitt, Henman, Nalbandian and Agassi, many of them heartbreaking like the one against Hewitt at DC '03, all caused the beast to awaken.
Nicely done, sir!
Most people used to think that Fed had been such a dominant champ right up from his childhood...
he was a late bloomer, as opposed to his kryptonite-infused rival and friend nadal. had he started dominating earlier, he would have been far, far ahead in gs titles than the 20 he holds now. however, the story in this video does not mention his coach. the death of his mentor peter carter. again, one can wonder what would have happened had carter stayed on, because lundgren was a temporary, inferior, replacement.
@@BG-mw5ptTo call Lundgren inferiror to Carter is nonsense. Look at where Lundgren took him and try again. / From
a swede that played Roger
Wow, I know Federer’s career quite well but learnt a lot here. Thank you for your great storytelling
Glad you enjoyed it buddy ❤️
This was awesome to see. Federer is my GOAT but I was a child when he started his meteoric rise so this was cool to watch
The story is amazing about Federer. Thank you for sharing!
Roger Federer is the greatest of all time - if only for the fact that he's the one who set the standard and has only very recently stopped being chased. Federer raised the game to that level; Nadal and Djokovic spent 15+ years trying to catch up.
Really ? Hey, dude, tell us.. What kind of weed do you smoke that deforms the reality ? Awesome!!
Very nice video, congratz. Hope you can bring more like this in the future.
great video! I never thought about how important that match with Agassi was!
Thanks for posting
Great video, man. Just great stuff. I feel nostalgic for this early 2000s era watching this.
Thank you! ❤️
You do an excellent job of setting the table for the primary focal point of your videos. Giving the excellent pre-history narration is absolutely crucial for those who have no idea where Roger was at at certain points in his career. Anybody can just load some highlights, or a match, give it a title, and call it good. But, by detailing the pre-history, it allows for a more in-depth and educated understanding of the context of the match in question! Great job!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! Now all the hard work is worth it ❤️
@@WivoRN You bet! New sub here!👌
Welcome to the channel buddy!
Thanks for the video! Awesome stuff
Glad you enjoyed it buddy ❤️
We miss you Roger :(
I remember your video on points that changed tennis history; the Agassi backhand miss should be one of them
Wonderful, thank you.
True self belief can be ever so elusive, even for a genius like Roger. Once he removed that monkey from his back, he never looked back. In the beginning no one questioned Roger's undeniable gifts, but his emotions were a problem. Until they no longer were.
Great video !
great narrative, great context!
Thanks Josip! ❤️
I wonder what Roger does day to day now 😔. We need an exhibition soon🤞🤞
Amazing video!!
Thank you! ❤️
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
Thank you.... it is good to know and remember how it all started for him
Glad you enjoyed it buddy ❤️
Excellent report
Thank you ❤️
Great work
Thanks Vilmir! ❤️
Great clip and upload. Thank you for the great content and wishing you all the best. #Chumjetze
Thank you for the kind words ❤️
Great video 🎉
Thank you Andreas!
in an inteview he said that his first coach death was the point of change, after that he change his attitude became more calm and composed and he regret to have lose time to hunderstand this
great vid bro
Glad you enjoyed brother ❤️
Really miss watching the GOAT right now :/
Very nice video. Keep up the good work.
Goat with 2 less GS than 2 other players while also having a worse h2h.
He's third and that's it
@@muaaaaaaan1082 It's not even funny or cute anymore. Djoker and Nadal are still fighting
for the real GOAT title and all these Fed fans are staying delusional. SMH
@@pdcdesign9632 Yes, because you all cared so much about numbers when Federer had 20 slams and Djokovic had 12. Stop pretending to be objective. No-one is. Federer is the GOAT to Federer fans. And what about it? It's interesting in itself that you care so much about what Fed fans think/say and their supposed delusions.
@@mantaishereD fan here. You bring a relevant point. Totally reasonable to say "RF is my goat" or "RF is his fans' goat". But stating it as a hard objective fact ("RF is THE GOAT, period") to me is sign of mental breakdown/ insanity.
@@fabiocaetanofigueiredo1353 Nah. Amongst fellow fans, it is normal to talk that way, and Fed fans are just too used to it now anyway. Neither Djoker fans, Rafa fans, Sampras fans, Borg fans, etc, need to use 'my' rather than, 'the'. Going around and 'correcting' people who are talking amongst themselves is just fanboy nonsense. Whose mind are you changing? We can just accept that that's how fans talk about their GOAT-level fave amongst each other.
Federer was good at saving and confirming match points then
Thank you. Excellent 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Ernesto! Welcome to the channel buddy ❤️
Nalbandian v Fed at the year end is the match I say got me hooked, the best ALL TIME for me.
Great video, great athlete
Great John
Quite a good topic... Would have been more interesting with a summary of all those opponents in the next 3 years against Roger. Also focusing on why he could not win Roland Garos for so long and who defeated him in which round...
What we see here as events and turning points is only the manifestation of the awakening of what was within the essence of the human being in this case it is Roger Federer. The manifestation of the awakening can also be seen in his time not in direct competition on the court, such as, practice time, the coaches he selects, the decisions he makes in his personal life, including the people he surrounds himself with, including his main squeeze (partner in life). These are all involved, what is hidden is the "knowing substance" or 'undifferentiated potential of consciousness' that is being shaped and was shaped by all the major decisions and sometimes even by seemingly trivial decisions he made. A clue to this can be seen in the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth" which says "There's something happening here" (the relation of what is manifesting to that which is in us that is our hidden and unmanifest potential). "But what it is ain't exactly clear....it's time we stop, children, what's that sound; everybody look what's going down" (manifesting in our life). In other words, each of us can stop and ask what's that 'sound' that's coming down (coming down can mean becoming manifest from the unmanifest hidden potential; in the inner traditions, it is said that it is 'breath itself' that carries the unmanifest into the manifest and that by allowing the breath itself, we can learn to choose the way we wish to travel in this life). We may not yet know that we can attune our decisions to that 'sound-sense' and so atune our outer life to it also. Rumi put it this way: "We are the flute but the music is Thine". What this music is and from where it originates is possibly the greatest mystery we are given in this life. Listen first in silence (the energy of silence, the essence of all the energy of life and our very is life, is the spirit hidden behind the manifestation of our life. Then we may be allowed to hear and see and take the decisions that will allow us to travel the way we wish for ourselves and others in this life. We can bring about the the reality of love that has its own intelligence and compassion into this life of ours on earth as it already is in the dimension of the unmanifest.
I watched without skipping bro. Federer beat all legends to become King of Kings
Life is not easy
Thanks for watching man!
After the monster awakened inside the Great Roger federer not only did he became world no.1, he showed the kind of domination the world has never seen before. Some of his records are unprecedented and unparalleled till now. He broke Pete Sampras most slams record in just 6 years after winning his first slam and became the man with most slams. Some of his major records are broken by his two rivals Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal but he still ended up with, most Wimbledon titles, 103 career titles, Most consecutive weeks at no. 1 spot, most consecutive Grand slam Finals, SF and QF and many more.
nalbandian should hav won at least 2 or 3 grand slams:(
Amazing video, what’s the name of the song from intro?
Thanks Coman! It's Naruto Rainy day remix by besideu
Pretty cool bit of early federer history most people don't know
This feels like the equivalent of if FAA won Wimbledon this year and then all of a sudden started dominating the tour. I’ve been secretly hoping for something like this to happen to one of the young players, but they still feel too mentally fragile or have big weaknesses in their game.
Would love for FAA to win Wimbledon, but he is really a disappointment, still. Do you think he can do anything noteworthy at slams? It does not seem as though his problems are purely (or even mainly) mental.
@@mantaishere Felix has technical and tactical problems as well. He does have some breakthrough performances now and again but by not fixing those issues, they remain patches.
Great story here.
Thanks Andrew!
Actually Federer taming his monster is what turned him into the goat. He was a whiny brat to start his career and he'd go on tilt after points like that until he learned to stay calm and be mature.
My friend I follow you on twitter you are a G
Habibi wallahy ❤️❤️
Losing to Hewitt in the Davis Cup is what did it, after this infact.
Roger ❤❤❤❤
My thing is ironic.
I never supported Federer while watching him, since i didn't want him to break sampras record of 14.
However, i really try to look like him while playing tennis, and i became a one hand and player because of sampras and Federer
Wow interesting I never knew this. Many others would have given up after a losing streak of 3-0 against Agassi and 5-0 against Nalbandian but not the GOAT
Best player in the world Roger federar
Very nice video; solid storystelling. Perhaps a next video could be about Federer loosing his grip on Tennis with Nadal entering, and the tears that followed.
Perhaps next video is you mum getting railed by Jamal and tyronne and the tears that followed
Great video....miss Roger...who would have thought back then that he would be surpassed in GOAThood by Djokovic before he finished his career.
He was always my favorite player. However I find it hard to call him the best. I would definitely do it if Đoković and Nadal didn't exist, but with them accomplishing what they accomplished and having better 1v1 record against him makes everything different.
Tennis is a very taxing game on the body and the mind especially..
I would classify it as Hippie Federer and Gentleman Federer ;D
How come what was usually your intro was your outro?
Just mixing things up buddy, nothing really changed
Nole is the GOAT. Of course.
Goat
Can he come back ? Please …
he got a PR team
4:47 That rimed
I got a reckon that in the early 2000's I thought Federer would be just another top10 just like Leyton Hewitt was. There were so many younger players that seemed more promising! Roddick being one of them.
Truly an absolute legend, marvelous player on so many levels!! (but we can't call him "goat" anymore because of Rafa and Novak)
😂😂😂 what about them? Roger is a genius like this sport has never seen, the other 2 are baseline runners with maybe a better mental, they don't sit at the same table. Roger is to tennis what Jordan is to basketball or Messi to football. Unrepeatable talent
Nice video but wrong title
Getting a haircut turned his life around.
I hope Roger watches your video
GOAT No 3-4 maybe 5
People act like he had a really bad character in early years of his career. It just wasn’t as gentlemanly as he is now
It was pretty bad
As much as i love Federer, you can't deny that there is only one Goat and his name is Djokovic!!!
Great facts but Still don't know what awakened Federer
The match against Agassi my dude 😭
The real q, what happened to Juliet?
I disagree with labeling his early attitude as a clown's.
What did he do with that cow.
Federer was GOAT until Rafa passed him and Djokovic passed him.
Truth. Real truth.
bro called 2005 roger a clown 💀
Mark Phillipoussis. Federer beat him to win his first slam.Started a chain reaction
You forgot the part where in quotes, “that’s where Rafa came in at 2004 Miami Open, and the rest is history through his career in life”
As Fed fan it's just so cringe when people keep calling him the goat :/
There's really nothing wrong with being the 2nd/3rd greatest tennis player in history :)
It's just so disrespectful to Novak. Give the man his title 🐐 👑
Everybody can count and see that Novak has the best numbers.
Not sure that is what goat is about though.
Cringe,lol man you talk like he won just 2 or 3 slams?
@TvRF Novak is purely the statistical goat? In sport decidet counts and not words.
FEDERER is purely the words goat:) sORRY Fedfans but federer is not even the second best;)
@TvRF why federer is the goat even when novak break all his records...please explain it
@TvRF tennis is not a miss universe competion , where elegance, beauty, popularity is importanT AND where the jury decited it. So decited now all the federer fans jury who the goat is?
Which football team is the GOAT in football. REAL madrid or fc barcelona? Of course real madrid and why because he won the most CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Title and LA Liga title. Imagine now would come and fc barcelona fan and WOOULD desperatly says like the most federer fans says, today that fc barcelona is the GOAT.
Sorry but on the court is the true and not your wishfull thinking. I KNOW its hard for your fedfans ; BUT YOU MUST LEARN TO Loose like mens and not search for everything a execuse like bad looser. THERE IS not more worse thing in sport then bad looser
Easy. Better opponents.
I always cheered for Federer, but he is by no means GOAT. 3rd in most numbers, he got most of his titles in the weakest period of men's tennis before Nadal and Djokovic reached the top.
Roger not just isn't a GOAT, but not the second best as well!
Easy. Winning the five setter against Sampras.
It’s no debate Novaks the goat he’s a stud on and off the court. Better then them all. живела србија
NOVAK DJOKOVIĆ IS G.O.A.T !!
Ma rasplakaćeš ih. Nemoj tako.
the goat? not sure there, but a goat nonetheless
His dominance ended when Nadal came by and from there they've started a huge rivalry
But Novak is the GOAT
GOAT IS DJOKOVIC…
Misleading, there is no answer to the question here.
What's with this obsession of calling everyone a GOAT? Is that a generational thing? I cannot remember having these tedious discussions about Lendl or McEnroe or Borg back when they were at the top of their game.
goat hahahahahahahaha
Hot take - Roger Federer is the second best clay court player of all time. It's not surprising at all he won a clay court 1000 as a teenager. We just take his clay court tennis for granted because we're comparing it to Rafa's.
Novaak
Nadal
Borg
Vilas
Djokovic
Federer is not even top 5, let alone top 2, don't ever disrespect Borg like that, fed hasn't even won all clay masters and has only 1 RG title to his name.
@@expert-editz Borg would get shit on by Rafa.
He is missing a couple of Grand Slam wins (and counting) to be the GOAT, he is not even part of the game anymore. To be the GOAT you need actual numbers and not a fan hype 🤭
i want my 10min back. click bait title
How on earth is that click bait, buddy?
But he is not the goat. I just checked the stats. It says Djokovic is the goat.
Sorry, the GOAT Is DJOCOVIC 22 GRAND SLAMS, and go flor 30...🤷
Hahaha so it was Agassi's fault hahahaha
GOAT?
