No matter what he's the best ever: his incredible vista, unbelievable & unexpected shots, elegance : Pure Talent

There's something different about the way Federer hits the ball - other players seem to whack it, he just connects with it so effortlessly and gracefully, the sound is different. And yet he can still be hitting with huge force, as in the Davidenko exchange.

The man was an absolute machine. Made the game look so easy, even when playing world class shots

There are players who perform at an incredible physical and mental level, charismatic entertainers, provocative volcanoes, guys like miroslav mecir, intelligent and sometimes irresistible and - there is Roger Federer! For me, the greatest of all players, always fair, humble and a gift to us and the sport we love.

Roger Federer- The perfect tennis player. Most elegant, aggressive yet an artist. Had all the shots , backhand volley from anywhere, great consistent first service, fast second serve , forehand, intelligent use of serve volley combination, drop shots from anywhere of court . He will remain unmatched

Perfect? Any tennis fan knows that his flaws were poor rally tolerance, his backhand on deep groundstrokes, and his tendency to mentally check out during high pressure moments. Far from flawless, and it cost him the distinction of GOAT.

KZread algorithm being on a mission to make me miss the man, the myth, the legend even more. That backhand is truly one for AGES. Sharp as finest knife, yet like a brush stroke painting masterpiece. And that no frill presence on court, some type of elegant charisma. Latent, but deadly when he was on. Missing you lots, RF!!

As do we all. So fortunate we were alive to see him. Love your expression “that no frill presence on court, some type of elegant charisma.” Beautifully stated, and absolutely part of the overall picture. Loved seeing Federer in his chair at breaks. For all you could tell, he was thinking about shrubbery at his house, a gift for Mirka - probably not but that’s the way it looked.

@@samuelsessions2817 yes, we are all privileged to have witnessed Roger :). I also loved his sense of humor on the court and how calmly in control he was over his body and performance. It was all just so...tasty. Natural.

The real GOAT. Djoko gets his props for the numbers but he makes me fall asleep compared to Federer and Sampras

He may not have the best results anymore, but one thing hasn't changed: I enjoy watching him play the most! (purely subjective)

It is his sheer talent that made him the very best tennis player that's ever picked up a racket !

Numbers are not important Roger Is the best tennis player of all times❤❤

Roger cannot be described by numbers.

He may not have the slam record anymore, but in OUR books he was the best ever. Djoker is an effective workman. Fed is/was an ARTIST.

Nothing to add!

Federer is tennis god, the very best there is. Finesse, great shot making and grace with power when needed are hallmarks of his greatness.

NO GRUNTING OR SNARLING!!!!

I just love watching his backhand, so strong and so precise.

I miss watching RF play.

Talent beyond all reason

When you think you got him, you're done😂

Djokovic actually did beat both Federer and Nadal in his peak, so we cannot go by what could and could not have been. There is no denying that Federer is a far superior talent than anyone but Djokovic is able to finds ways. However, I completely agree that Federer would completely outclass anyone if the courts are faster because he has the better serve and better reflexes. There is no point putting one over the other because all the big threes are very consistent but have contrasting styles, since Federer is your first crush he is your favourite. Even I enjoy watching Federer's points more than anyone, he is blessed with an aesthetically beautiful technique.

You’re correct Djoker did win a few matches when both were mostly prime-however taking a step back: Although Djokovic has won slightly most on paper between the big three rivalry, Djokovic hasn’t had as much of a continuous domination of the sport as did Federer (237 weeks at top, 5 US Open wins & Wimbledon wins in a row, & added up to the 8 Wimbledon titles’ record, stand alone record of his). And in the last 7/8 matches with Nadal Federer won (mainly by help of his neo backhand), a statistic that cannot be ignored-many who prefer Djokovic or Nadal omit this fact that Roger’s backhand in his comeback was not a liability but arguably the greatest one-handed backhand! May also recommend an article by an assist. Sports Professor though the Atlantic, “What Every Professional Tennis Player Does Better Than Roger Federer,” which argues that his uniquely losing more matches than any other while still winning more points proves his superiority overall.

i don't think we'll see any players as great as Roger in future

@felixy23 We don't have enough future to experience a player close to him. 😎

A lot of Roger's 'scrambling/recovery' shots are pure squash (the game). He played a lot with his dad when he was a kid and you can see it in his shots, especially the lunging, reaching forehand that he just slices back with a flick of the wrist. Squash & badminton all comes from the wrist, tennis from the shoulder. But you can definitely tell Fed has squash in his blood . . . . !

loooove watching toaster quality

Il Numero 1, per sempre

When you’ve got “the hands”. Those looks are just plain funny…Well, yeah. When it’s there…it’s that easy.

The best to ever do it.

At the most physically demanding sport where there is no such thing as a fat tennis player, he often seemed to go about dismantling his opponent so skillfully and gracefully, seemingly without even breaking a sweat.

I'm no one to judge, but this guy is one of the best of all times. For me, just after Borg.

Jack Sock going after him, really funny (5:36). 'Federer can make you feel really bad, like he makes you want to leave the court. He can make things seem really quick and that the court's really small.' Nick Kyrgios

The best of all times

Excellent footwork leading to racquet. Abc's covered.

I wanna see a live Tennis Match so bad!

this is basically what he did every game

The first time i saw Federer was against Agassi who was my favourite at the time. after Agassi winning the first set i was sure it was going to be an easy win. Then Roger started playing and the rest was history. I have never seen anyone play tennis like that. Hingis maybe

f**k that lol

4:12 two handed forehand in men's? I knew a guy in person who did that but never expected anyone in atp

WHICH IS THE CLUB of the end of the podcast? or where is it?

Now this is a game. I dont get it when tennis players play the ball into each other hands. Its like they intentionally stalling the game.

Smh life as we know it. Imagine the chaos if he comes back 😂 but he won’t. He’s not Tom. lol. But really the highest view ever if it happens.

I'd give anything to know if 2007 US Open Fed could beat Djoker/Rafa 75% of the time....
