First pin please I love your videos

imagine having to play djokovic and federer in succession just to win an ATP 500 💀

Kei is such a gifted athlete & so underrated. He is confident in his game & it shows. Perhaps having Djokovic & then Federer was a bit too much. It can mess with your momentum & we know how tennis swings one way & then the other. I didn't see this game so thank you for this post. Love Roger & Kei. Thanks Wivo.

Love that you kept all the fun stuff in.

Such a beauty to watch! I knew he wanted to retire after playing one last time at Basel (Possibly to be able to say "That's where I started and that's where I finished") Roger, when you finished you were not the only one shedding tears (Nor you Rafa!)

Nishikori was an enormously good player.

I miss both Nishikori and Fed.

When asked who was best player on the tour Kyrios once said Roger was the one where you sometimes felt you had no chance.

You make the best tennis videos. What a treat for Tennis lovers. I love the storyline you create as a preamble to your videos.

Beating Novak was hard enough, but dealing with a very sharp Federer...too tall an order😮

Beat Nole 6-0 still great memory and fun

Serious question - who lost more of their prime years to injuries: Nishikori or Raonic? Surely someone has added up the lost years of playing time for those two?

Tennis is a sport of a lifetime. This video will help keep the interest in a great sport of a lifetime.

Great video, thanks. I always loved watching Kei play.. almost as much as watching Fed.

Love Kei Nishikori! And yet... Not a single title in Grand Slams (where to even reach the finals it's already epic) and only 12 titles (6 on ATP 250 tournaments and other 6 on ATP 500 tournaments)... The thing it's not "who can beat the big 3"... The real game is... who managed to have so many ATP and in particular... as many titles as any of the big 3. And no one gets closer. Not Kei Nishikori for sure... but Kei is a real hard worker with a great character. (not at all like a presumptuous Murray) ;)

to me, federer was the most skillful of the three. the other two were just mentally and physically tougher.

Damn never knew Nishikori bagelled Djokovic before

What makes Fed so good , compared to nadal & djokovic - his style n flare for the game - allowed him to deal with most players more easily. Its about the variety and his talent. Both djokovic & nadal started with WAY less variety in their games , than did Federer. You see them often grind away with difficulty against several styles , like djokovic here . Less so did Federer, in my opinion This aspect was what made him greater than the other two

Federer beating a lower ranked player in a final in Basel in 2011. Shocking that anyone can find this shocking.

Federer winning a match at Basel? Hardly "SHOCKING" XD. Quite the opposite.

Roger will always be my # 1 and Kei will always be my # 2.

encapsulates the issues of those in top tennis rankings at that time with the big 3 (then 4 for 5 years). you had to beat 2 all time greats in their peak to win anything above a 250

I mean no matter how many records, your eyes tell you this is the best tennis player ever

excellent tennis

power to power, Kenny can do it. Power to Brain..... still there yet. Mind over power!!

I was a big Kei fan. Even cooler is the fact he was coached by Michael Chang. Such a shame injuries destroyed his career

2011 Federer isn’t in his prime. Imagine if he went to that bigger racquet here. Went to his full attacking game like he did. He probably would have won more GS. That’s all what if’s tho. However Federer is such an underrated returner tho and this game shows it. Kie isn’t somebody you just beat he’s a fighter and tough cookie

federer became less of himself later on. case in point was his serve. it was a faster in the mid 2000 at 190kph. then it went down to just about 170kph.

Kei beats you with his backhand. You get pinned wider and deeper into the ad court, then he hits winners down the line in the deuce court. Nobody goes that better than

What was "SHOCKING" about that match?

If its Basel and if djokovic is playing, I am sure it must be before 2011 or something.....I am a Federer fan btw.

this was also federer's home court.

He bagels djokovic didn’t expect that

2011 the best season of all time. THE BEST athlete born in that season

Nishikori better than all 3, trust!

WivoRN is just trying to trigger Novak fans Lol Very unnecessary, True, but you could leave Novak's name out of it.

Unfortunately, Djokovic did all the destroying on Fedal in 2011.

When the Big 3 are at their absolute best, Federer obviously comes out on top. Sorry Bathroombreakovic

and where is nishikori now? also Basel isnt even a tourrnament worth about.

but head to head djokovic 18 nishikori 2 😂😂

shocking what????!!

You hates djokovic

How you gonna beat a man who has a technique for generating power when flicking a let behind his back.

and don't forget to mention that Nishikori didn't beat Djokovic ever again. Novak has dominated ever since that loss.

2nd

Спорт приравнивают к балету. Красиво -некрасиво.. Есть результат, победы, их количество. Не более того. А остальное-придумки и выдумки фанатов....

Wait wait...what did the commentator mean at 5:20 when he said Nishikori has "Japanese eyes"? WTF does that mean?

Novak toilet breakovic😂

Check these facts out: Federer Nishikori h2h: 8 to 3 ; Djokovic Nishikori h2h: 18 to 2. Have a good day :)

Secondal is better than thirderer 😅

I will never consider Djokovic as the Goat because is game is base of ANTICIPATION. The moment you stop Novak Djokovic from anticipating your hits and your play, even a no name player can destroy him at that moment and that is what happened

Fans of Federer are shocking and pathetic.

And Novak Djokovic is the only player who rammed Federer on every surface, just like an ancient washer man used to do washing clothes at a creek side.
