Versus prime Nadal ? No way

@F1ClassicCars he gave nadal alot of trouble. Also 2007 isn't prime nadal. 2010-2013 were his absolute peak.

This…is not true. You will find many fans saying the exact same thing throughout the 2000s. In fact, 2010 was one of the worst culprits of this (a clay courter won Wimbledon, US Open). I don’t think there’s any evidence courts were faster back then…in fact there’s actually evidence for the opposite. UTS data shows that the AO, Wimbledon and French open all got faster in the 2010s than from 2003-2010. And the US Open remained the same. So I really, really don’t understand where this is coming from…wasn’t this the same year Nadal won everything? And a few months after this, Djokovic won everything. So are you implying that the courts all miraculously changed on all surfaces overnight? I see this repeated all the time, but no one seems to even have a clue when, how, or why it happened! It is literally the definition of a myth that has been heard once and repeated without reason.

@@Mark-ut5oq Hold up there is no way ao 2010-12 is faster than in the early 2000`s It got faster in 2016 and 2017 but early 2010s courts were straight up clay court level

@@AlexisNess-mn4zw you don’t need to believe me. Check it out for yourself. But I want you to remember one thing: you CANNOT physically see the difference in court speed in television footage, even if you wanted to. Once you understand how frame rate works, and how far the ball travels in that time, you’d understand that it’s basically impossible to tell the difference if the ball spent a few more ms after bouncing. It probably wouldn’t even register in a single frame.

Didn't the Roger's Cup already suit baseline grinders back then anyway? Murray beat Fed in the 2010 final and also won here the previous year and Murray was more often than not a baseliner. The 2 years before that in 2008 and 2007 Rafa and Novak won as well, Rafa also in 2005.

bs, Fed just played really good / fast here.

the ball striking in this match was actually horrific, federer couldn't hit a backhand to save his life in the 3rd set and it was the most cringe thing ive ever seen watching Djokobitch serve

Without a doubt, Federer's forehand is the shot that has lost the most effectiveness over the years.

Lol. Maybe at branding. At tennis not so much.

40-15 🤣

@@tennisfan599 The list of great athletes of the 21st century has been released. Roger is 6th. Novak and Rafa are 11th and 12th. They are good rivals. Roger's rivals are Messi, Tiger and Brady. 😉☝️

God, you guys are so fking toxic. Grow up.

@@initialize21 🥇🐐broke Federer in next US Open he hasn’t been the same marked the end of the weak era

Reality is Djokovic was never a threat till 2013. If he beat Federer, it was more of an upset. Nadal actually showed how to beat Federer through endless defense, which Djokovic followed suit later on.

@@saratchandradeevi lol 🐐owned Federer still in 2012 whose last GS win was in Wimbledons only a fluke

Why would he have a fake surgery don't be delusional

man, get a life, I see you in every video where you constantly write the same thing.. djokovic gave you serious complexes

tf just appreciate the players

@@kaytae4053 It's questionable because Djokovic claims he got surgery and injured his knee, and yet he wins the Olympics without dropping a set. But yes, this type of fans are toxic asf, coming from a Fed fan.

Federer was a great clay court.player. had the courts not been slowed down I doubt he would have won outside of the french open. But I place him in the same category as jim courier. Great player just paled in comparison to his contemporaries.

Great fiction. Endless defense would not have worked on these courts.

well to be fair, fed 2015 beat him in cincy, and that fed was not prime fed.

@@saratchandradeevithese courts?? Please show me some proof these courts were any faster. The only fiction is from Thirderer fans about fast courts. Thirderer fans were complaining about slow courts in 2009 when he lost to Nadal and Del Potro. It’s just one of their 10000 excuses.

@@ryanjones7712 good joke after a massive rant of an excuse on a match that Federer won.

I will get to that eventually!

Delo potro was a monster in 2009

@@leroydavis236competiton got higher and Federer was not good enough to win at the US Open anymore

@@leroydavis236 Federer messed it up in the finals. Served like 15 double faults or so and got casual, hitting contstantly to Del Potro's forehand.

@TvRFReloaded where is it

When Federer wins the court is fast, when Nadal and Djoko win, the court is slow.

Yup. But when you actually look at the evidence, this is what the UTS (Ultimate Tennis Statistics) data says. It used different metrics to determine surface speed, such as ace rate, rally length, server advantage, etc: 2003-2010 avg: 60 2011-2022 avg: 60 The US Open remained the same over the average of 2003-2010 than it did as the later decade. Interestingly, all 3 other majors sped up. Like most things online, it’s just factually incorrect.

@@Mark-ut5oq I believe that the courts were slowed in the 90's after the 1994 Wimbledon final between sampras and ivanisevic and also Paris Bercy 1993 when Goran was booed after every aces. Nobody wants to watch this kind of tennis anymore especially with the evolution of the material and. However i dont believe thet they really slowed the surface after the 90's

@@richerlouis3391 I don’t know if there was a “specific” time that happened. The main court speed changes occurs when there is a change in compound, such as after Wimbledon 2000, when they changed it from 70% rye to 100% rye. This altered the bounce and made the grass a lot more consistent. Ever since, Wimbledon has been dominated by baseliners and serve and volley has completely died. Whether that’s due to surface or a combination of factors will never be known

Also it might sounds complotist but some people believe that Wimbledon was also slowed to increase the chance of Tim Henman to go far in the tournment so idk🤔 ​@@Mark-ut5oq

@@federicotown8052 they played at the US Open 5 years in a row. 2007 to 2011

Federer couldn’t even beat Novak that badly in the 2000s. In the 2000s the h2h was like 9-5..and I think a few of those Novak was aged 18 or so. So I really don’t understand this line of thinking. To me it’s almost just wishful thinking that your mythical hero is untouchable

Definitely he would have. Instead of stat keeping If you watched the level he was in 06'.
