I have doubts about Tipsarevic and Troicki. They both had kind of a jump in rankings between 2011 and 2013 and they disappeared together when Troicki was suspended after missing blod test... It might just have been the after effect of the 2010 Davis Cup win with Djokovic, but it looks fishy to me.

Federer faced unexpected stiff competition from the then unknown Serb Janko Tisparevic in the third round of the 2008 Australian Open. Federer had lost only 6 games in his two previous matches, so this five-setter came out of the blue. Tipsarevic played spectacular, but Federer's experience proved too much to handle in the end. In the highlights I've tried to incorporate English commentators as much as I could. For the points I couldn't find English audio, I had to keep the original Russian audio (sorry). Enjoy!

What a wonderful video. Shows off Fed's shotmaking, his movement, and also those moments of fragility. In counterpoint, it also shows off some wonderfully fierce and utterly fearless and penetrating hitting from Tipsarevic, with an uncanny ability to stretch Federer wide and then double down and hit past him - something I don't think I've seen very often. It's a real pity that he was injured so often - what an exceptional player, and it's a loss to the tennis-loving public that we didn't see more of him and the epic matches he would surely have played. Thank you, Raz Ols for having great taste and for giving us a real treat!

I'll never ever forget this match, watching it live. It got better and better as it went on and I couldn't believe my eyes.

I don't like to compare Roger with nobody because, in my opinion, his tennis, his style is special, it's Goger's style, and exceptionally elegant and magic, I enjoy it like sport and at the same time I enjoy it like art. Roger is something apart, is harmony, exclusive phenomenon in sports.

Tennistv and all GS channels should release ALL of Roger Federer's full matches from all tournaments in full HD quality, as a gift and public service to humanity.

You can see that today with Nadal - and Djokovic - who are widely considered 2 of the fastest players ever.

Thousand times djoker has fallen while playing matches, where as federer does not fall even once, because he has such good sliding balanced skills, very elegant. The one & only beautiful player who has ever played this sport & there never will be another one super player of this talent in the future world . We will get thousand novaks & five hundred claydals in the future world

So telling to watch these highlights. His drive backhand was quite safe but not really a weapon as it just wasn't quite as technically sound during those peak physical years. Back then he could afford to do a lot of defense and running around. Federer was so fast here. Still quite fast today but he was arguably the fastest player in his prime, apart from Rafa on clay of course. However, I think Federer's technique, especially on the backhand and return, was best in 03-04 and probably even better from 2014 onwards. It was at his technical peak in terms of technique in early 2017. That was probably the most technically complete player of all time.

He had such easy round 1 round 2 matches that the commentators were cursing he should get a tough match & then we got this match! Which ended up being a really really long day session & so ended up as the longest day in grand slam history! (Hewitt- baghdatis)
