@@sfhnnx3 no, not really. Results don't tell the whole story. The H2H is a good example, Djokovic leads Fed but most of their matches (+60%) were played during or after Novak's prime (he also avoids Roger in 2017 but Roger didn't avoid Novak in 2013). And courts slowing down has also been a huge factor in Djokovic and Nadal's dominance for at least 7-8 years (2008-2016). I don't think either of them are better players than Federer (and honestly most people agree that the Swiss has the better technique out of all three), but the game became a lot more physical for several years leading to endless grinding favoring both successors. And I say this as a Nadal fan. Btw, I don't like Djokovic as a symbol, the guy is a douche, but if I actually believed he was more gifted than Roger I wouldn't have a problem admitting to it.

Remember that Fed had to beat Sampras at 19-20 age. So why can't Djoker do that?? Why did Djoker had to wait til Fed was about 30 to win? This to me clearly means Fed is GOAT.

The most fearful thing about this federer was he would not miss any chance to attack, all his forehand shots are going for a winner and this guy could produce them all day, no matter how much you defend the ball, the game wouldn't become any slower and you won't have a chance to recover, you would have to create an opening or push him back to win the point, he smashes all the lobs, kill almost all the balls at the net, a god like unpredictable serve.I guess that's why there were only Nadal and Davydenko who beat federer in the entire 2006, Such a monster Kudos to Novak, his game is so destructive here, he is competing so well, he had his chances in both the sets, I think he wasn't mentally strong back then.

Federer was physically in peak form then and his muscle power probably at his own peak too. Believe it or not that decreases a lot past 30 with age in elite sports especially with Federer's power, aggressive and pin-pointed accuracy based game. Of course Djokovic improved by leaps and bounds too. On grass again Federer could get him, 2012 with whatever power he had left since grass is technically a faster surface. But then it was one-sided in slams from then on until 2019 (Federer lost but it was closer than any match). That was because Federer changed his racquet, and style and tactics. I know and believe that as beautiful as it looks, Federer's single-handed backhander is his Achilles heel. Most players learnt and exploited it a lot.

Novak rely on the strength of his groundstrokes to move opponents around the court and aggressively goes for winners from the back of the court. He attacks short balls in the court, and takes the chance at making a few unforced errors in order to hit That's how he won 20GS, 354 weeks as #1, 35 masters1000 and 7 ending season as #1. 🎾🥇🏆 You can't have 25 victories or more in career against respectively Nadal & Federer without aggressiveness.

No, it's just a result of court speed. Courts have become so homogenous now that people forget how much difference that used to make and how much of a different game you needed to win on grass vs clay. Novak simply couldn't play the way he plays now due to how fast the courts were. This hurt Federer as time went on and helped Nadal and Novak. For example, no way Nadal wins a single Wimbledon if courts were kept as fast as they were in the 90s. Novak maybe not either. For further evidence of court speed making a difference, look at how an old near-retirement Federer in 2019 did against Novak at Wimbledon (almost beat him) and ATP Finals. The latter is a notoriously fast surface. Just watch highlights of that match vs this one, and it will look eerily similar how aggressive Federer can play and Novak doesn't have answers there.

Gee, when you watch the level these guys play at, it's insane. We will miss those days!

Federer at his prime, closest thing to perfect tennis ever seen.

This is tennis at its best. if you take a player's maximum strength as a benchmark, roger federer is without a doubt the greatest tennis player of all time.

Thats debatable.

He was much faster and had way more power in his twenties. It's like two different players. I don't understand the comparisons. Imagine if the roles are switched and 32 year old Djokovic is playing 26 year old Fed and Nadal like age is not a factor at all. That's why you can debate all day.

Federer played amazing in this match…I think this version of Federer was probably his peak. Later in his career he had so many more weaknesses and flaws in his game. Also after losing many close matches to djokovic and Nadal, his mental game took a huge hit. Later on his career you could see Federer struggle mentally and exhibit so many moments of mental frailty. Here, he played cold blooded tennis and gave the middle finger to djokovic whenever djokovic had a moment to gain the upper hand in the match.

Federer peaked in 2006.

Looking back now, the writing was on the wall all along. Novak really had chances here, and up against possibly the best version of Fed.It's bittersweet to think the era of the of the Big 3 draws to an end. On one hand, fresh blood, but on the other, the greatest Tennis of all time, likely never to be repeated.

Thời điểm này Federer quá hay. Hào hoa và lịch lãm

Young Djokovic was actually a really nice, down to earth, likeable guy. No cockiness, no gesticulating towards the crowd.

And now Djokovic is about to pass Federer's grand slam total after Sunday's Wimbledon final.

Peak Laver, Nastase, McEnroe (13 titles and an 82-3 record in '84 - still the best in the Open era. Seven doubles titles too in '84 including Wimbledon and the WCT Finals) or peak Sampras? No question though that Federer was sensational in his peak years.

Miss the wide open Arthur Ashe Stadium, despite the roof being better in case of bad weather. The acoustics and echoing of the shots along with the umpire calls across the massive stadium were majestic back then!

Fed won, but him looking at Djokovic when he picked up the tray at ceremony says it all.....Fed knew Novak would be a problem in the future.......maybe he didnt know , how big of a problem. Anyways, always great to see these two play each other !!

Quel match ! Les coups droits de Federer sont juste dévastateurs 😮

Things looked so different back then, Federer was playing while wearing a suit and Nole was the new punk in tennis

A few things, while certain elements of Djokovics game has remained the same or improved, its stunning to see how much his served has changed, and its also stunning to see how much of a complete player he has become as compared to here where he is in essence an offensive baseliner. Second, I am glad that they introduced the shot clock for serves, because dang, Novak's 50000 ball bounces before serves is definitely a tactic to waste time. Also, the improvement in how Novak has become such a mental giant, he is impossible to break in the mind now

Djokovic was such a kid back then, crazy. He dominated the first and second set, yet was not capable of closing those sets mostly due to his mental weakness back then. Today it's the exact opposite. 2006 and 2007 (08 and 09 weren't bad, but Federer was starting to go down) were the last great years for Federer, after that Nadal and Djokovic were way too strong for him.
