This version of Federer is still the greatest level of tennis that’s ever been seen

i agree, 2006 Federer is the pinnacle of tennis. In fact, Federer 2006 season has the highest win rate in history 92-4 (96.7%) absolutely ridiculous... he played almost 100 matches and just lost 4, all on clay.

Super impressive level of play; Roger was great no doubt.

Feds forehand in his prime was something else. For some reason after his prime it was never the same. In his prime you can see in this video virtually every forehand he puts davydenko on the defense. Even on his backfoot fed somehow attacks with his forehand.

Fed changed his forehand adding spin to try to win the French Open. He got his French, but it likely cost him 3 or 4 hard court majors...

A big reason was Fed's decision to move from the Pro Staff Tour 90 to the RF97 -- with the increase in hoop size and beam width, the forehand lost some of its laser-focused power output, but in trade gained forgiveness on the backhand and a larger spin window on both wings. Fed knew this would happen, and IMHO it was a worthwhile trade overall.

Fed the best aways such grace and talent beautiful to watch . 11:13

Back when the USO was a real fast court. Good all time and great matchs.

8:01 Adjusting the settings on the wand.

Can’t really say that someone get schooled playing against prime Fed. Schooled would imply one learns something. Playing against prime fed all one learns is that life is unfair, that some just get awarded so much talent there’s nothing you can do.

Pero davydenko era incapaz de generar un juego táctico distinto, no usaba el slice tácticamente, solo cuando estaba en una posición completamente defensiva. Así ni se puede jugar contra todos. Era un jugador con un plan A y nada mas. Sin variantes

Unreal forehand winner

Like Burdych, clean hard hitters bring the best out of Federer

Fed was the best to watch so talented and such grace .don’t 11:13 . bother with the other s not interested so boring just keep hitting the ball back .

Federer was on fire until he met Djokovic at 2019 Wimbledon. Can’t forget that as I am Federer fan

I enoyed watching davydenko play, his serve was just too weak and inconsistent. He took everything early, had good footwork, and could beat everyone except the top 4. He and ferrer were similar in that regard. They were good enough to beat everybody else but couldn't handle those 4.

​@@divicospower9112 I'm not talking about head to head, I'm talking about winning a slam. They would get to a quarter or semi and get knocked out by one of them. I didn't specifically say Nadal , I just said one of the four top players that were owning the slams during their careers.

Federer in 2006 with his 92-5 record. He won 12 titles and he lost 4 of those 5 games against nadal. 3 of the 4 losses were on clay. So federer only lost to one person all year other than nadal. Safin, roddick, blake, Hewitt, nalbandian couldn't beat federer. Only loss one hard court game all year to nadal and no grass court losses at all. In a stronger era than now aswel. Federer's only problem that year was the best clay court player of all time by miles. Because federer himself is one of the best ever clay court players if nadal wasn't around federer would have won 4 or 5 French opens for sure i think he was 5 French open finals anyway, but only won the one nadal wasn't in. And federer would have won in the rome masters 3-5 times because he also got to plenty of those finals came really close to winning a 5 setter against nadal in rome either 2005 or 2006. Back when the mens masters were 5 setters not 3 like nowerdays.
