37 yrs old and kicking ass still.

First time seeing Federer playing so freely this year. Happy that with the Laver Cup he has an opportunity to get to that free swinging he was missing thus far.

"You've done your job really really well today". The umpire should have replied, "likewise".

DAMN Roger's backhand just looks so much better. Feels like it hasn't been as good as that since this year's Australian Open...

Does Mac know that he sounds super hilarious when he's mad?

If only he could have said "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS" !! Kyrgios would have stopped arguing and started laughing!!! ;)

I was there today, and it was my first time seeing Fed play a match( I've watched him practice before). he was absolutely a marvel to watch. Everything he does is stellar, and it's noticeable when you compare him to other players. I would surbize that only Novak, or maybe Rafa could have presented a challenge for him today. He was that good.

Amazing for a guy thats 37. Awsome.

Saw this match in person - Federer was unbelievable today - The two points at 5:10 had the crowd on their feet

Mcnroe was ranting deliberately to bring his vintage for fun Edit : see roger smiling at mcnroe 7:12 roger doesnt want to give the point intentionally to unleash mcnroe vintage. 😁😁😁 Clearly everyone enjoyed

Never will there be anyone as good as prime Federer on hard and grass and prime Nadal on clay...we are lucky we have these guys around...

McEnroe will make a very good coach for Kyrgios 😂😂

Who said Roger was finished ? He played smart today and showed Nick who is boss. McE nroe showing his frustration.

Roger waving his Wilson wand again!

I was at Roger's 2018 loss at the US Open. It was so muggy, and he couldn't get his first serve in for the life of him. But, even when he's off, his backhand is the purest, most accurate shot the game has ever seen. It's like it was crafted by NASA.

I love how your videos really show the true pace and mental development of the match, not the typical random points highlights of the match! Great work!!

3:58 - "that was world class in bodyweight" you can't argue with the metric of Federer's skills

Probably the most inspired I've seen Roger this year

Fed's so good, he beat em with a toy racket.

Is it just me or is Roger creating greater angles with those cross-court forehands than usual for him?

Fed is in another level. The man is like an art !

It's good to see Kyrgios actually grunting when hes playing it seems like when hes a part of a team hes working a lot harder to win. But federer is just on another level

Wished Federer played like that more often this year... McEnroe is doing his show to promote the event, there is nothing natural there.

Bloody brilliant. Every point is a gold. Solid backhands. Federer looks so relaxed and composed. He’s trying all the shots like he’s in some practice match ... if only he can carry this to next year , AO is his for sure !! Roger ❤️

Give me the rock I am ready to roll xD

Quite interesting. This is a match that Kyrgios could have made tighter, as he normally rises to the occasion against top players. However, inability to deal with adverse circumstances once again kept him from doing so. A commonality seems to be even against top players, if a call doesn’t go his way, he cannot move past it. Last year in Beijing, it was a similar story where he never recovered. Unless he learns to accept decisions from the umpire, fair or unfair, it is logical to presume that he will continue to lose many important matches where an umpire’s decision goes against him. Acceptance of unfairness is an integral part of life.

Mcnroe is a really good actor😂

The best I've seen Fed play in almost a year.

Umpire: "What's the chance of Kyrgios winning this match?" McEnroe: 6:44

That was some of the most genius tennis I've ever seen Federer play! Not even fan-boying, here. I guess the common denominator (with his most brilliant years in his career) is *having fun* - no pressure. When he is under pressure, from the likes of Djokovic and Nadal, mainly, but not just them - it just oppresses his spirits, his artistry and passion. I hope he will carry this sheer unbridled, impetuous joy to the ATP, and especially the Majors, to come. But either way, the wonderful thing to see is that he IS capable of playing at as high a level as ever. (Granted 5 sets will be much more taxing). Aside from that, this was a really fascinating and entertaining match. The Laver Cup is officially - *awesome!*

damn kyrgios did suck today and has been playing bad all the year, well done by roger tho but i hope nick will recover from now on, its not nice seeing him losing like that

This proves to me that Federer playing freely in his mind can still be lethal. This is exactly why he played so well in 2017 .. for him he wasn’t playing with the pressure to win but to enjoy himself (while making his comeback), same here. He is a lot more clutch in this mindset.

There is something insanely beautiful about laver Cup court..

Carlos Ramos wouldn't have dealt with JMac and Kyrgios speaking to him like that

We have been blessed with this video

Roger GOAT

Kyrgios seriously needs to grow as a person (so does McEnroe). Whether you agree with the umpire call or not, he's not going to change it no matter how much abuse you shout his way. It just makes the match uglier, and the umpire was within his right to call that Federer could have made the return (no matter how small). I don't think there's a chance he could have, but it's the umpire's call.

Haven't seen Roger so relaxed in a great while. Amazing shot making!

in all honesty Kyrgios really have a mental block against the GOAT Federer

That's why we still love McEnroe!

Damn it. That’s such a world class performance

Nicks forehand is so poor compared to when he first came through. I don’t know what he wants to achieve with that forehand style. It’s not penetrating nor is heavy top spin. Dare I say it’s similar to what Gasquet produces off his FH. The backhand also looks weird and he doesn’t look in full control. He needs to make some technical changes on his game because right now he is getting worse every month. I feel like his return is so poor that he would be better off standing where Rafa does just to get balls back in the court. His movement isn’t bad but it’s more his anticipation which is shocking. The movement requires tennis IQ and Nick lacks tennis IQ when he is defending. He needs a veteran coach who can tactically fix him up and someone who will make some technical changes.

@7:45 the commentator goes "Oh! Damn." after Roger misses a shot badly lol

Without doubt the best Federer performance in quite some time.. Hopefully this can set him up for a good finish of the year.

You get the sense that Federer is reading the Kyrgios serve better now. A lot of slice on the backhand, but his ground game overall on fire. I hope he can bring this kind of heat/aggression/purpose in the final tournaments of the year, especially with Djokovic now producing some special tennis.

Love this channel. Great highlights!

You know the umpire is in serious trouble when Nick and Johnny Mac start calling him names !!!!

Best I've seen Fed play all year!

Thanks for uploading so quick

Team World getting crushed right now

It’s all fun and games until someone brings up the subject of “your job tomorrow” or “your pay check”. Some people obviously take themselves too frigging seriously. It shows class man. It really does.

When these two play.. the entertainment is guaranteed..

Roger was quite entertained seeing the great vintage McEnroe on his passionate tantrum 😆

Federer was just incredible,,that backhand and He made Kyrgios keep running.

After all these years? John: Always!

Only one who can beat Federer when he is playing like this is, Djokovic. Krygios ground strokes are far too inconsistent, which gives Federer far too much time to play his shots. Take time away from Federer, with consistent deep and penetrating ground strokes and he's in trouble. Only Djokovic can do it over 5 sets. It would have been interesting to see a prime Federer of 2004-2007, with the current modified backhand and attacking strategy, match up against a prime Djokovic. It would be incredibly close, but I'll pick Roger Federer.

Your majesty RF, The best in tennis history

John McEnroe and Nick Kyrgios teaming up against the umpire is something I would thought I would see in my life

great highlights

Kyrgios's game has something like roddick's. It wakes up the beast in federer. This is by far the best i have seen federer play in long time.

Amazing

i enjoyed this match alot

Roger Federer is like in the tennis video game’s character, never misses wherever I want the ball to be

Roger going for lines. Wished he started doing that whole year but he decided not to. He might ve won the matches which he lost

Federer's movement is way better here. He is able to get into position to hit the backhand.

37 years young and brilliant !

Masterclass

No one: Nick Kyrgios: *loud breathing noises*

OH THATS VERY NICE

Jonny Mac and Kyrgios team up is legendary.

Federer in Flow - great to see :)

And the winner is - Roger Federer who has developed leaps and bounds since the last year's Laver Cup which was only expectable given his still young and maturing age. Meanwhile it seems Nick Kyrgios is finally approaching the very end of his long and spectacular career, respect and thank you for all the golden memories!

From 6:39 to 7:10 : Vintage McEnroe! So good to see that he's in full shape!

Yes John is back baby!

"Hand me the rock, I'm ready to roll" lol

lol at Federer's reaction to McEnroe yelling at umpire.

I know it’s almost technically an exhibition but wow Roger playing so well! Let me remind everyone this guy is freakin’ 37!

6:10 Nick's like "fuck this shit" lmao

there goes my idol

2 guys I don't really consider "vocal" were pretty noisy today, did they put mics on them this match?

The boy knew that he had no chance at all, so he tried to mess up with the umpire and blamed him for his loss. That made the boy feel better.

Well done Roger,master of modern tennis

Nicks backhand is so fucked, I love it

kyrgios's backhand looks like he's shoveling snow off his driveway

Though I hate federer and love to see him lose, I may say he was absolutely amazing here.. For a 37 yr old to play like that!!! So fluid, such a great server... Amazing...he has the most beautiful and complete game combination ever...

The Euros are just too good.

McEnroe looks and sounds like a dad that is unhappy that the coach is not playing his son (Kyrgios), and Kyrgios looks like he's afraid that the coach is going to get mad at him afterwards 7:21

Hi Sam your video editing is awesome

I hope we can get a few matches between Federer and Djokovic with him playing this way.

Federer played unbelievable well. I truly think that his game goes up a notch when he's calm and playing loosely. I know it's hard to upkeep this mentality especially during a grand slam match but he will be the favorite to win if he could consistently create these shots and angles.

Fed’s red racket looks too nice. He should rock that for all events honestly.

Now, THIS is the Federer I like. It's scary to watch him like this (in a good way!). My goodness, he was good here, it was a pleasure to watch. And journalists are seriously still asking him about retirement? Do they not watch any of his matches??

Perfect timing for Federer. He was in the zone

7:48 everyone’s reaction to any shot roger hits😂 ooh damn

Everyone thinking: Oh god here comes kyrgios arguin again, sure he is the biggest arguer in tennis history... Mcenroe: Hold my beer

Federer reading kygrios serve better, good return to the backhand side, good depth each time he returned

Nice clash Roger v Nick in Laver Cup

10:50 would have been a great way to finish the match!! Then the actual match point was so blunt. Great to see these two always playing each other. Hope Nick goes deeper in the slams.

I was totally with McEnroe on that call there was no chance Federer's return got affected by that 😂😂

McEnroe may be one of the iconic tennis players of the past. but man it is very disappointing to see that he still acts so immaturely, I would have expected him to have grown as a person since he would throw tantrums during his career. He especially should act more appropriate being the coach for Team World. He sets such a bad example.
