In full flow there has never been anyone even close...Nick was right when he said you just feel helpless...the demolition was ruthless and those who think Federer was still in his prime past 2009...well look at the difference in the power and movement...the only reason he was still a competitor was because his prime was just miles above anyone else...

Tennis God. Period.

There has never been and there will never be another who plays tennis with this level of brilliance and genius. I think the GOAT debate is meaningless, but for sheer joy in watching something that is this beautiful, this astonishing, Federer is in a class of his own. And I agree with HeisenbergR’s thoughtful comment below. The beauty includes his comportment during and after matches (with v rare exceptions). Went to Indian Wells and saw Federer many times. I stayed after every match, all of which included at a minimum quite a number of moments of this caliber of play, but I stayed to see him sign anything and everything that any child who came down to the courtside asked him to sign. Adults, too, but the emphasis by far was on kids. Very few others saw this, so if it was for PR (other than in a very literal sense of “relations”), it’s hard to see how. Just another special aspect of his greatness.

The fact that he ddn't even celebrate makes it good, because maybe he's thinking in what the opponent is feeling at the momment,

What a demonstration of the art of tennis! Roger, I will miss you forever!

Federer’s backhand is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Miss this kind of tennis

greatest athlete of all time. you have other geniuses like messi and jordan but Rogers class is on a different planet. I am 32y and ive never seen anything like that, and I doubt I ever will.

Roger ❤

Just the best ever as far as I’m concerned. Glorious to watch.

My favorite is 4:10 where his body looks like he is going for the diagonal shot but turns the racquet in the other direction when hitting the ball. What a perfect bluff!!!!

just the Best Tennis Player ever ❤️

GOAT

This match in Halle shows what is a real grass court, not like the joke nowadays called Wimbledon.

Great video man!

This man in his prime years was the best player to ever play the game ,and what made him the greatest was that he lost like a gentleman and one like a gentleman champion a class act beyond beyond Roger you are the greatest ever I don’t care what anyone says I dare to defy anyone to watch this video how wonderful and entertaining it was to watch you do what millions of people do but nobody did it better than you and nobody ever will ?………. The defense rests its case……..

Superb stuff! Thank you for this. :) A question: who's the commentator for the Gaudio match? I've always liked his transatlantic (?) accent and his commentary.

Federer's inside-in forehand should be the 8th wonder of the world

I've said it elsewhere. I'll say it here again.: When RF is "in the zone" he could probably take on any two opponents TOGETHER, and win! He was a once-in-a-lifetime player.

6:0 6:0 in the quarterfinal is insane!

4k looking great!

1:46 that's a top spin dropshot!

This was 2011 peak djokovic man! Grandpa Federer destroyed him man!!

🐐🐐🐐

He plays it with so much ease yet it is the most powerful. The cleanest hitter of a Tennis ball.. ❤

Beautiful players. When I see Medvedev or Sinner play, I realize I don't enjoy watching tennis that much anymore. Big shots to the right, big shots to the left. Rinse and repeat. No thanks.

That federer vs zverev match😳😳

Tennis heaven, can't say better than elgar104, elegant and brutal is dead right. So fascinating to watch his construction of points up to the killer stroke, and also the increase in daring after he's got the measure of an opponent.

Roger giving out free donuts to his opponents is so humbling.😂

Calling Kyrgios a grown man is a bit of a stretch 😂

Wow 🤩 ❤❤❤

Roger indoors in the O2 Arena. Just stay home boys.

I particularly decided to play this video for the wristband in the thumbnail. Because I didn't recall when he wore that outfit. Miss watching my king play tennis 😢 but love him foreverer ❤

The most glorious athlete I'll ever see. Beautiful elegant and brutal.

the best looking 20 slam winner ever, the cool way he looks when walking away from a winning shot

Difficult and attacking tennis, made easy. That's the best thing, he always won matches by his own merit. The fluidity, the easiness, the options in his game, the quick footwork, dancing like a gazelle across the court. Pure instinctive talent, leaving people in awe of his tennis capability.

Extremely tennis, one of the best 👌

Fookin executed prime Djokovic like he was nothing , Prime Fed was absolutely unplayable .

Adjustments at 5:20 are mind-blowing

Federer really tennis God

No one else could make anyone they faced feel powerless even if they were playing their best. Peak Federer is peak tennis.

He was so superior to the rest... And even that, maybe the score was 6-3 or 6-4, but you always felt that he was in full control of the game. It's like scores and numbers can't express his level.

I think Mischa Zverev retired from tennis after that double bagel 😂

Federer's precision and pace made him a monster of monsters in fast indoor courts, too bad his best surfaces (fast indoor and grass) were among the rarest on tour.

Senhores! Roger, um cidadão, um cavalheiro, um deus se divertindo na quadra na quadra de tênis!

You would think that thrashing he gave Murray that there head to head would be lopsided, but Murray actually gave him a run for his money on most matches and kept their rivalry close. Matter of fact Andy was up at one time in their rivalry. Kind of crazy how some match ups are different.

Federer is tennis🎾 Tennis is Federer

The greatest player to ever set foot on a tennis court

Terrific! At Halle wasn’t Zverev he is not a lefty

As my old tennis teacher always said.... is the whipping motion that u need to hit a forehand.

2010 RF had 16, Nadal had 6 & Djoko had 1. that's where RF started giving his time to family and not caring about records anymore thinking no one will surpass him. 2011 to 2019 he was below avg as per his standard.

Watching on TV doesn't really make you feel how much pressure it's like playing against a fast-paced playing player like Roger. It's tough, indeed.

In Gaudio's defense, he was sleep deprived because his girlfriend fought with him the night before the match.

I think you chose the wrong Halle Zverev match. Mischa was a journeyman player so him getting double bageled by Roger was not exactly a shocker. You should have chosen the 2017 finals thumping of Sascha. He was so rolled that in the press conference after the match he whined, "Roger as messin' with the ball." LOL!

By far the best tennis player and most elegant tennis player ever. However, Djokovic is the most successful player ever.

2nd Goat

Roger won easily against everyone in World Tour Finals except for Michael Zverev (Halle) and without giving break points or getting broken except for Djokovic.

Really , I miss the magic of the One: RF

At his peak - Federer was an unstoppable bulldozer crushing all opponents in his path and making their life on court miserable.

La classe, regle comme une montre suisse

two words for rogers tennis ,,,,,swiss precision

When Federer was on, it was just hopeless to anyone in the world

I think He can Do it with Andy Murry & Win 6/0 6/0 But he Give him a respect on that Time - When Federer be In The mood - Nobody can beat him Never !!!!

Murray thanked Fed for the giving him one game in front of his home crowd.

If in tennis only the usage of one arm was permitted, what is fair, Roger would have more than 30 grandslams

It's as if half the time he's not even playing tennis. Some other game, like a hybrid of badminton and tennis. Or "just" some way of playing tennis that no-one else has worked out.

4 of 5 times were at atp finals, so against one of the best 8 players of the world those years. But if it isn’t enough, 3 of these 4 times were against djokovic, nadal and murray… and if anybody needs to remind it, don’t worry, djokovic also received a 6-0 treatment from Roger in Cincinnati final 2012… do you need something else to learn anything about GREATNESS? Because I grew up learning from him live and I miss him and dreaming because of him too much

No man match his class ever

My personal favourite was the one against Kyrgios.

Federer backhand was lethal.

LEGEND Federer!!!!!!!

The admin of the game

You forgot the 2014 Shanghai Masters against Leonardo Mayer where Roger came back from 5 match points down to beat Mayer and made him cry at the handshake.

Yesterday just bought Roger L🎾VE Peace For All t shirt 😊

Roger was the G.O.A.T.!!

That game in second set vs Murray looks like he deliberately gave it to him

At his best, he was simply unbeatable. Except against Nadal on clay.

Well. Like many talented players in his prime . But not for too, long because Nad. & Dj will come better.

Roger lässt Djokovic wie einen blutigen Anfänger aussehen, einfach Krass!

FED tennis GOD

Damn I miss Roger

I wouldn’t say I’m a conspiracy theorist but it seems pretty easy to imagine the NCAA has/had a significant interest in having the Caitlyn Clark story continue. I was pulling for Iowa but that was a terrible call to make; especially at that point in the game.

Believe me, it pretty much felt like Federer let Murray win 1 game on purpose. He just wanted to give him at least a game I guess. Like Novak gave Mannarino a game in AO 2024

3rd match double bagel : Federer impressive vs Zverev depressive 😆

When federer plays great, he makes even the statistical GOAT l, novak, look stupid man.!

I wish he’d make a comeback. A racquet made from crutches and a walking stick are enough

2012 cincinatti between Novak was also a beatdown.

Show me every kind of shot, spin, improvisation, shot placement, combos while double baggeling prime Murray. Federer: Yes. But let me fool around in Murrays last game, he can have one game. ONE game! Bc i choose to play exebition tennis, just doing Roger things. Meanwhile Murrays best match ever came the year before in australian open 2013 which is considered Federers worst season since 2002. Took Murray 5 grueling sets in his highest level. Federer in the zone, unplayable. Federer at his worst, beatable but still expect grueling tight matches even on Federers worst level mostly.

So much for Djokovic fans "weak era"

I have t he feeling (no inside info) that Federer like to put on a good show for the crowd and, if an opponent cooperates, he can join in the project and the Fed will take it easy. HOWEVER, once he takes it a bit easy, the opponents think, "Oh, I think I see a weakness and I'can overpower him! Oops. Maybe not.

He's the goat

I think Cincinnati 2012 was worst for Djokovic

8 lettere: L E G G E N D A

much better than alcaraz because brute strength helps him the most no matter how much variety he has. dimitrov is the only other player who can play tennis like federer.

Which one of them cried?

2010 Federer was how prime Federer would hit shots. Only difference is Novak wouldn’t gotten his racket on the ball. Also Novak has never destroyed federer. Where Federer has many times to Novak

To say that Murray made it the big 4 is nonsense

Almost had peak Murray 6-0 6-0, Rogers A game is second to none except for clay court, what he lacked was his consistency. He could bagel the best of players and on other days he will lose to a wildcard. This is where joker and nadal excelled.

fedsquash is 10 losses and 4 wins in GS FINALS!! More failure

but not on clay, where Nadal has embarrassed Federer many times, including at the slam Roland Garros. is it any wonder that all these clips are on hard courts and grass???
