Hey everyone! As things are getting tougher than ever on KZread with various new policies & rules, I've decided to start this page where you can support me if you'd like to help out: buymeacoffee.com/razols Any amount would be super appreciated and help me invest more of my time into making videos. I've had my channel for more than 8 years now mainly uploading videos of Roger Federer. This year KZread has implemented some changes to their policies and rules which have made it difficult for many of us amateur channels to keep going, hence why I started the page above. I'm also planning on starting a Patreon page with memberships which will offer some exclusive videos, like the top 1000 video, that I can't currently have up on my channel. Thanks for all the support over the years 🎾🙏

@@Cofimaslisa Frankly, not sure where to begin but I'll give it a shot...btw, there are no double standards in my or 7330's comments above. First: 1) Who said anything about LeBron not being a GOAT? (I say, a "Mt. Rushmore GOAT" not THE G.O.A.T, as the 'expert' players/coaches/sports analysts consensus is that player is Jordan). However, if you're going to conflate most points scored in the NBA with being a GOAT or the GOAT, that man, since his retirement decades ago, was Jabbar until just last year. Very few former or current basketball players would call Jabbar the GOAT after Jordan retired (heck, even before), but you could make an argument and he should be in the discussion for many reasons. Lebron's great achievement, I believe, is performing at such a high level for so many years (he's freakin' 39 and still among or close to the top ten performers, no drop off like Jordan and many other HoFamer's). Then again, he went straight from HS to the NBA. That 3 or 4 extra years of scoring (his game is much more than that, of course) helped him break the all-time scoring record and it still took several more years playing than Jabbar for him to do itl 2) Your comment is confusing. It seems as if you might be agreeing with us in that we say that just because one has the most GS titles (by the way, shouldn't we count doubles titles as well? After all, it's part of the game and shows versatility and comprehensive knowledge and skill) doesn't necessarily make one THE GOAT. That's why Federer is the GOAT...still impressive, but not the best GS titles resume and the most beautiful game in every aspect, including quiet mental strength and demeanor, with few anomalous exceptions, throughout his career.

I think it should be a mix of both: who played extremely high level tennis for an extended period of time. This should take into considerations mainly peak years of players, because dominating when level inevitably drops with age, requires some luck (i.e. not having to face champions of your same league, but younger), and they didn't have the same amount of luck from this point of view. Djokovic is having clearly too easy of a time nowadays, against an ATP tour which general top level clearly dropped heavily. His peak years are those which really count. The collection of slams he's doing nowadays against those babies, doesn't change the goat debate the slightest for me, which is different from a mere collection of numbers. In the end, for me it's very difficult to decide a true GOAT between the 3 fabs. Every one of them could've good pros and cons... perhaps Fed and Djoko a little bit more than Nadal, but in the end, I think they would be really too close to each other, so much that it would be a matter of personal preference... so I think they should just share the crown.😅

Yeah, Cinci this year was ridiculously slow, they changed the surface (Plexipave to Greenset), just grinding and millions of unforced errors, so bad..

4 aces in a row. 47 sec. That s the proof of the pure talent. He destroyed Novak at his peak. Roger is the raw talent, so high that.s imposible to keep it every day.

The greatest and most aggressive all-round player ever. Novak, Rafa are legends, but they all follow Roger.❤

Federer SIEMPRE jugaba bien y de modo hermoso...así perdiera o ganara - más ganaba, por cierto...pero la belleza de su juegos, plástico, fue evidente... la cualidad técnica le daba esa impronta de serenidad y hermosura...inolvidable...

Fed matched up really well against Djokovic: he varied the pace on his backhand and had an aggressive forehand that he came to the net behind. He was able to cut off the defensive shots Novak hit and put them away instead of waiting at the baseline like the other players who play now and starting the point over again.

More than 2 to 1, 13 to 6 in finals to Djokovic and almost 2 to 1, 11 to 6 in slams seems to indicate that he didn't match up too well in the biggest matches that matter the most.

But half of those wins by Novak were when Fed was 36+ in age (that's when Novak won half of his majors) and Novak was in his prime. The stats were pretty much equal between them when they were both in their 20s or Fed in his very early 30s. @@huzcer

@@alfonsonapoletano4522 Djokovic's first win vs the "old" 26 year-old Fed at the Australian Open. Fed can never win another match there against him. 1 single set for Fed over 4 matches 😂 Djokovic beats just turned "old" 29 year-old Fed at the US Open. Fed can never beat Djokovic there again. Whenever Djokovic first beat Fed at a slam Fed could never win a match again at that slam against Djokovic. Fed's last ever slam win against Djokovic when Fed was still only 30! Fed didn't retire for more than 10 years after that. Djokovic was beating Fed at the slams long before Fed was in any way "old". Djokovic is just the better tennis player....

@@pinnacalada9448 only one problem with that 😂--> 2015 was obviously Djokovic's peak. 3 slams, 6 masters beats Federer's 3 slams and 4 masters. Djokovic went out to attain the highest ever level of ATP Points ever achieved. Went on also to hold all of the 4 slams at the one time. Easily outpeaks Federer. Never mind the level of competition in 2006 vs 2015. Federer faced Baghdatis in an actual slam final. Nadal couldn't get past a US Open or AO 1/4 final until 2008. Baghdatis spent literally 2 months of his entire career in the Top 10 😁 Compared to Federer, Nadal, peak Murray, peak Wawrinka in 2015.

Thank you so much for these highlights, what a joy to watch, such aesthetically pleasing spectacle!! 🙏🙏

In this match Roger made the Joker look pretty ordinary.

Great highlight video! Seeing Federer's attacking volley style of tennis working so well is really exciting and impressive!

Excellent video as always never seen this match in this quality before

When he played like this noone could keep up with him.

Damn that was an amazing game by the maestro the big 3 always learn and adapt i think roger was having a bad time against novak before this match so he comes up with this super agressive approach of serve and volley , it was pretty effective in 2015 too he went 4-6 against novak fast forward to 2016 ao open semi he had this similar approach and this time novak haf a perfect reply for it , these 3 have challenged each other to tune themselves to their highest level , what an era to be alive and witness such greatness 🤌🤌

Roger's at his height of excellent display of the mastery

WHAT..A..WAY......to beat Novak...wow...he finished that off so incredibly well...

“Like a mongoose on methamphetamine” no wonder roger played outta his mind

Federer a brilliant player,a brilliant man.

Federer was simply on fire in this match especially with his net coverage against one of the greatest passing shot makers, I don't think Djoker played that bad a match in the 1st set. It was a case of turning back the clock as 33 year old Federer played like he was a 23 year old and completely outplayed Djoker by not giving him the pace and rhythm that he usually thrives off - this is the playbook against Djoker but it is so difficult to execute. The scoreline could have been a lot worse in the 2nd set if Djoker hadn't found a way to dig himself out of some serious trouble facing 2 BPs in the 5th game of the 2nd set.

The power RF imparts on the ball with his one handed backhand is a miraculous vision to behold. D jock may achieve the record slams but the quality of shot has to go to RF. Both the best that ever played the game and they faced each other.

That's why the Fed was so hard to watch. I expected him to play this well ALL the time.

Roger at his best is a beauty. At this point my personal goat regardless the number of titles

this is the very best federer, no one can beat him when he plays like this no peak djoko, no peak nadal this is the pinnacle of tennis

This tournament is played indoors. Federer is an excellent indoor player. That is how he beat Djokovic at wimbledon 2012, they closed the roof.

Fed finds angles with his wrist alone while pretty much everyone else has to find them with their whole body.

Too bad his peak form here got outplayed by post-prime Fed lmao

Roger came out dialed in, and did the same to Nadal in Shanghai in 2017 6-4 6-3. He only had a handful of unforced errors and was doing crazy shit like taking the ball in the air at the service line and hitting winner after winner..Nadal at the presser was like "What can you do?"

Been following professional tennis since the late 1970 s - and i must say - Federer is the best agressive all round player ive seen - closely followed by Sampras ( better at the net than Fed , but not as good from the back court ) , Rafter, Edberg . All at their peak would wip any current top 10 player handily

Fed was, is and ever wil be the GOAT. Sportsmanship, elegance, class, talent and style define him perfectly. Nole is by far best at whining, king of 157mn false-medic timeout and forever jealous of the Fedal's popularity. Oh, and he should play tennis in the WTA... ...were screams and handed backhands are mandatory.

Incredible tennis, miss exciting matches like this one.

I am here just to watch another masterpiece from maestro!

Not only poetry in motion but unless I’m blind neither have to look at their coach after every single point and fist pump after every single point? Refreshing just watching 2 legends of the game play tennis from the Gods. Never get bored of watching Roger as he simply plays with effortless ease and plays shots others can only dream of . Hopefully he will become a commentator at Wimbledon next year as it would be something special just like his tennis. As good as Djokovic is to watch it’s just not the same but dam close.

Another level, Roger~~~!!

No grunting. No whining. No mind gaming. Just pure tennis from both. Miss these days.

Looked like he was in a hurry..he had other important work 😅 Incredible dominance!

. 14:20 Federer in Shanghai is nadal at RG. I know nole is the goat, but no one played djokovic this well, or Dubai or french open. That 40_15 really got him. Djokovic is the goat, federer is the best I've seen.

2:30 great sportsmanship from Djoka. Nicely done alerting Federer of the linesman's call.

Federer, the GOAT ❤ Thank you for great videos!
