@@sakthidharan4370 that’s true to an extent, but all courts have been slowed down which just ensures long rallies, more robotic. Wimbledon this year has been slowed down according to some players

@@niamhne8046 Wimbledon has been slowing down quite a bit the last few years. Watch Federer at Wimbledon in 2004-06, and now. Very different

He missed so many chances since 2009. He should have won 2009 US Open. And he could have taken 2011, 2014 US Open titles and maybe 2017 US open title(in the condition that he did not have a back injury and defeated Del potro at QF).

I did not mention 2010 US Open final because Nadal played insanely well that tournament. So even if Federer made it to the Final at that tournament, chances are very slim that he defeated Rafa in the final. I guess the match would end in 4 sets with Nadal's victory. BUT IN 2011 I am certain that Federer had high chances of winning the final against Nadal considering that he almost defeated Novak in the semifinal who demolished Rafa in the final. Surely there can be people who argue that Federer was weak against Rafa at that time, but at the Grass and Fast hard court he could beat Rafa with great health condition.

His biggest chance was in 2011, he was absolutely ready to defeat Novak, but Novak was just amazing... In 2010 I think Nadal would be better in the final and in 2009 Delpo won fair and square with his aggressive game after a tough match... What seems to true that Federer is not a strongest mental player, but his hands are golden...

He's the best and the greatest.

@@Fraudkovic I do not think he choked but clearly he became tired and possibly a little nervous. I still think Nadal was right when he told a fan "If you think I am a better player than Roger you know nothing about tennis".

I know, that's one of the ones he regrets

@@rupertgordonii6623 Remember, the challenge system was new that year, and Roger had said publicly several times that he didn't like it. Roger had a set point in the third set, I believe, that was called one way, then reversed after a DelPo challenge. DelPo went on to steal that set, then win the next one for the match. I always wondered if Roger didn't like the challenge system because he knew it would hurt him in his quest to be crowned GOAT. The top players of yesteryear had an advantage that he didn't have after the the electronic line calling systems took over. The close calls tended to go to the Favorite before that. I'm not saying anyone knowingly cheated, but if the call was very close and the linesman wasn't sure, to rule against a champ on big point risked negative crowd attention toward you, and could potentially cost the Tournament a lot of money if the top draw was knocked out early....so when in doubt, go with the champ.....but the challenge system gave the underdog a friend in high places

@@joemarshall4226 One of the few times I feel like Roger let his emotions get the better of him, and it cost him the match. He had a spirited argument with the chair umpire (3rd or 4th set?) in this match after Delpo's late challenges, which he let get under his skin, and then he really looked flat and emotionally drained in the 5th set.

@@nicolasyemm8833 It was over the line call I mentioned, I believe....maybe Roger thought DelPo took too much time to ask for it.

5 in a row is quite an achievement regardless. Followed up with his 5 in a row at Wimbledon

Rafa leads 3-1 at the Australian Open

Rafa has also won this tournament 4 times so there is no guarantee that Roger would have won. Rafa has won 3 of the 4 matches at the Aussie Open.

Yeah right, hahaha

Rafa and Djokovic 16-21 years old, during this 5 year period. Roger was dominant when they were still boys. I mean Hewitt was #1 in 2003. Roger had an amazing career.

From 06-09, Fed would've probably won at the US Open. The courts were faster then and flatter. After 2009, the US Open became as bouncy and slow as a fast clay court. They changed the speed in 2010, and many questioned if Rafa would finally take it. Well, Rafa TOOK it. If they met after 2009, Rafa would probably win most matches at the US Open. After 2009, on best of 5, Fed lost his edge against the other two goats. Rafa, however, has NEVER beaten Fed on an indoors court. The H2H indoors is 4-0 to Fed. IF there were more tournaments indoors, their H2H would probably be tied by now.

The weak era talk is revisionist nonsense. The consecutive wins here for 5 years straight against #1 players, slam winners is incredible. Even beat Djokovic 3 times in a row, 9-1 in sets...impressive for a supposed weak era champ.

@@MI-ct9eh Goes to show these so called Djokovic fans are absolutely clueless about Federer’s timeline, like that idiot you just replied to. And yes, everything you said is accurate. Federer has always been an attacking play-style tennis player, so fast courts during his prime years were ideal and he excelled so well at it. Had the court speed remain unchanged from 2010+, I still believe (in theory) that Federer would’ve probably won abit more 3-set tournaments & GS titles up til now (even out of his prime). If anything, these 2010+ slow courts helped Djokovic (known for his extreme long rallies), but more so in favor of Nadal. These 2 should be lucky it benefited them a lot more, but heavily handicapped Federer. If you watch Federer vs Djokovic @ Barclays indoor match, which is a fast court. Federer beat Djokovic and he (Roger) was out of his prime. So that factor in itself says a lot right there. It’s funny cause Djokovic fans and Nadal fans talk so much but forget that 1 factor, which is the “speed” of the court that played a huge role and made a huge difference.

But you he is supposed to be the "best all around courter" according to his fans so it shouldnt matter if the courts are slow or fast

@@chrisarmelseyibayebek4977 it’ll matter seeing as how he is older than the other guys and the slower courts mean more rallies which doesn’t really suit his game. But when they changed the clay in Madrid 2012? Federer won. When they changed the court in Miami 2019? Federer won. When they sped up the courts in 2017 at the Australian Open? Federer won. So when the courts change, he can adapt better

@@dtower1825 Tennis is not about suiting his game sorry

@@chrisarmelseyibayebek4977 Right, tennis isn't about suiting any one player's game, but I responded to you with examples showing how he has adapted to different courts in the mid to latter stages of his career, which disputes your initial reply to Lorki

He would've had 25 Grand Slams with the slow courts as well if he didn't choke. He choked so many times against Novak. Federer should've won 2009 US Open too.

In real fast courts prime Fed would easily beat prime Djoko, people forget Djoko only won in 2010 and 2011 because Fed (already out of his best form) choked. And Fed was still beating Djoko on fast courts and making life hard for him even when Fed was completely washed up (by his standards) and Djoko was on his best form ever.
