Other players have been faster, more 'stretchy', come in with loads of stamina, had more top spin, more muscular, hit the ball harder, than this man, but no one has still played tennis quite like him. Tennis is beautiful because of Roger and for me that is the greatest contribution an athlete can make to his sport. He made generations of kids like me expect magic every time he steps on the court. Just like MJ, Tiger Woods, Leo Messi, Maradona, Zidane. Thank you Roger. Always the best for me.

So lucky to be alive to witness the legend of Federer

Happy birthday Roger Federer, the greatest player of all time

I wish we could see one last hurrah from Roger. If not, we've been so privileged to watch him play. Happy Birthday Champ.

Just be glad we can still witness the maestro play! We won’t be able to say that for long :(

Happy Birthday Roger! Will always be my idol, and an icon for the tennis lovers!

He’s given everything to this sport. He’s won everything there is to win. And here he is, still going at 40 years old. Truly astounding from the MAESTRO 🇨🇭

I hope we can see him in action at the USO. All the best Maestro.

Dear Roger, thanks for everything in the last 23 years. You were/are and will be the best what happened to this sport. The best representative ever. Oncourt and offcourt. The GOAT celebrates his 40th today. Enjoy this day with all your beloved ones and all the best for next 40👍

I think that Roddick AND Agassi are still to this day in shock ;) "Incredibile ma vero" (Incredible but true. Love the Italian broadcast)

Nadal and djoko will end up with more titles than roger but the variety of shots he plays, his style, and the touch he has will be forever unmatched! Happy birthday!!!

While this guy stays in tour, I feel that I am still young and I am 40 already too, happy birthday, maestro!!!!

Never get bored watching his plays, pure perfection.

even roger not playing anymore, i'll still watching his games, he such an entertainer....the 2 last shots with agassi n roddick were unreal....roger truly the GOAT

Happy birthday, Maestro Roger! It is always such a joy to watch your amazing and unique tennis! We, the fans will keep supporting you and love you! Enjoy your day!!!🥳

You can‘t teach shots like this 🔥

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times... nobody, but NOBODY has the shot versatility that Roger Federer has. He is one of those humans who was just born to play. The Messi of the tennis world. The Muhammad Ali of tennis.

There will NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS MAN 🙏👍🏾

What a player, what a treat. My favourite tennis and what a genius. We are unlikely to see a player like that ever again. Maestro. Such magical touch that will be forever remembered. Absolutely magical player. Really special.

Without doubt, Federer is the most talented, beautiful, vesatile player ever to play tennis. Variety of shots he has, is far more than combined of Nadal or Novak. His volley , stop volley, backend, forehand and dropshots are very pleasing to watch. To play for 20 over yrs with very high consistency is simply amazing. And above all, he is very humble, down to earth always easy going with his fans and media. We hardly read or hear ppl say bad things abt him. It is astonoshing to know that he has never retired half way in 1250 matches he has played. This shows how much he loves Tennis.. No other player has this effect on public past 50 yrs plus. No wonder he gets so much love, respect and attention from Reporters, players and public.. Even if Novak wins 25 Slams, he can never match talent, skill, charishma, elegance and popularity of Federer. Last but not the least, behavior on the court where RF gets 9.9 out of 10 and Novak may be 5....Novaks behaviour in tokyo olympics 2 wks ago is totally disgrace and unacceptable.. 👌🏻

The beauty of tennis, in one video.

The most talented,natural,graceful player ever to watch. Edit:Why are there so many triggered Novak fans under my comment😂

No one else hits shots like this which is why RF is my favorite tennis player

In all these reallies, you see how brilliant he plays. You can not train or learn this. Simple the GOAT with a tennisracket!

Happy birthday Roger! No matter what happens, you are the best! Keep playing and keep producing those wonderful shots!

and this is missing a lot of footages from Federer's best years (2004-2007) because of video technology as well Federer's entire tennis career is a highlight reel

Happy Birthday 🎂 Roger Federer 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Greatest Of All Time No Question 👍 🎾

I can honestly say, from the deep end of my heart, on behalf of the whole universe and beyond, there will never be someone like him, not even nearing anywhere close to his level genious, and I’m so glad I play just like him!

No words can describe Federer’s game. It’s beyond us humans.

You can't spell peRFect without a piece of him. Happy Birthday Maestro!! 🤟🥳

The most talented and the greatest off all time. It doesn't matter if Djokovic or Nadal will or gonna have more GS’s, Roger will remain the best

The best ever to do it on a court, happy 40th birthday RF. Legend....

Federer is a combination of State of the Art and the Most Pure and Perfect Tennis that ever existed! GOAT!!

Hes truly maestro, variety of shots, beautiful to watch, and no grunting. Thats why hes my goat and nobody would contest that. Only rogers replays that i watch.

Tennis magician. He is the man that shows us tennis is fun.

Watching most of these is like "what's so good about th... wait that was a volley?!" Happy 40th to the GOAT!

i love his half volleys

Happy birthday Roger Federer God bless you with good health and abundance of Joy we all want to see USO

The looks of astonishment and disbelief on some of the star opponents faces (Murray, Agassi, Blake, Djokovic and many more) tells you all you need to know. This unique brilliance is what made Federer a 'must watch' in the tennis community. He had this amazing ability to make other players look ordinary, yet such a humble guy and great role model for kids.

Watching Federer play is watching the best that ever was and will be. He’s so classy and effortless.

Happy Birthday, Maestro! Hopefully you will entertain us some more with your tennis

Magic touches. The Best.

1:10 When the GOAT is playing, even the ground starts shaking!

Happy birthay to the GOAT🇨🇭🇨🇭👑👑

Welcome to the 40's club FedEx . Always a delight to see your graceful and effortless tennis. Would like to see in the US Open this year . Hopefully you'll recover in time 🤞

Forever the 🐐

The Man with the Magic racquet 🎾. Roger Federer 🔥🏆

Roger GOAT forever😎🐐

Always The KING

For me, his skills are a composite of many racquet sports - the overhead shots of badminton, the mathematical use of angles from squash and the touch of a table tennis player - love it all

Happy birthday idol! U inspired me to play tennis

The Greatest of all Time

I don't know if he's the greatest ever (it can't be determined objectively and it doesn't matter too), but it's sure easy to forget how good he was in his prime. Inspirational... Out of this world...

Screw Tennis; Roger transcends sports. He's honestly up there with the greatest artists in human history.

INCREDIBLE!!! Smooth plays.

Watching Federer highlights makes me feel sorry for Andy Murray... so many awesomely played points just to have Roger tear your heart out.

il numero 1 di ieri di oggi di domani e di sempre il Maradona del Tennis

Federer while using wilson nCode is the best!

Style, tricks and entertainment.. like a feather moving poetically all over the court. Keep your goat. He is the God

Although 2019 WB final is more recent, The 2017 AO final *fifth* set had some of the most spectacular winners ever assembled :)

Thanks God for having a Great tennis player like Mr.Roger Federer, so class and humble. My late swiss husband felt very emotional with teary eyes watchin Roger,during championship won. Wish you the Best always .

He was always so intuitive in creating new shots like the fake forehand slice or the SABR. But what I like the most at his game is his movement and the elegance in his strokes, like a prima ballerina. I hope we will see him at the US Open to have a fight with Nole and Rafa for their 21st GS Title. And Happy Birthday Rog, much love and many health.

Federer always will be the best in our hearts.. No matters what happens with other tennis players!!! Federer is and will be the most talented, the most charismatic and the most elegant tennis player the world has ever seen !!!

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Hey, where's the two-handed backhand down-the-line winner! More seriously, *tennis incarnated itself in Federer* - the greatest and most complete all-court player to have played the game. His records aside (some of which have been broken, some of which will be broken, and some of which may never be broken), this much is true: *his game will forever remain the gold standard for tennis aesthetics and beauty* . (As for those who like to say stuff like "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or "I like Rafa's forehand and attitude better" or "the Djoker's backhand down the line and mental strength are much better than 'weakerer's'", it's worth noting that *both Nadal and Djokovic, not to mention numerous others, have called Federer tennis's **_artist_* ... and one suspects they know what they're talking about.)

Simply the GOAT.

No other player has such a shot-making ability. Truly the most talented player ever.

happy birthday and respect to roger!

The 2 others are monsters phisically and mentally for sure, but Federer is the pure talent

Happy birthday roger. Miss RF tennis so much. Hope to see him well and healthy soon. Uncoparable hand skills

I Love Federer

He did things with a tennis racquet that I've never seen any other player contemplate. His level of skill is unmatched.

Backhandsmashlobvolley. Insane improvisation 😊

‘ last time we saw one of those, god was a boy ‘ my fav quote

Nobody has ever or will ever make tennis look as beautiful as Roger did! He could play five sets without breaking a sweat.

Federer the ultimate shot maker no one else comes near !

Here I am in 2024 thinking I miss watching him play and that these videos will keep being watched until the end of time

Hope he continues to play, unhampered by injury and we see many more unique and exciting plays from him.

As a nole fan you have to respect Federer. As much as I want nole to be remembered as the goat I don't think most people will change their opinion. It's no doubt Federer is the face of tennis, he's very entertaining to watch, just not against nole cos the crowd get mean

That last shot in the final rally is unbelievable, and the rally before that was pretty impressive too. What a legend!

His book should be called WINNING BEAUTIFULLY

He is an artist of tennis not just a GOAT.

The best tennis player ever.

Simply the Best

Roger Federer, best tennis player in history. GOAT.

Master of tennis from a Djokovic fan

HBD,Roger!!!!🎂👏🏻✨

Never forget the king of blue Clay!!

Such an inspiration to many people. And so graceful. An artiste

O:40 Andy murrays raction is everything

Oh my God, it's incredible! I think that Federer is tennis, without Federer tennis isn't the same, this man is a LEGEND! 💪🎾

Just THANKFULL !!!

There's no question the Federer is the GOAT. Watching this how could anyone question it. Breathtaking stuff.

Magician!🧙🏻‍♂️🔮🐐

Happy birthday Roger 😘😘

2:31 I BURSTED OUT LAUGHING that was so MEAN hahahahahahaha i love him man

Roger Federer is the G.O.A.T. not just because of his accomplishments, but the way he plays.❤❤❤

Tennis Players: The backhand slice is not a winning shot. Federer: Hold my beer.

Federer made tennis a pleasure to watch

The two-handed half - volley at the net was my favorite one .
