I have been a tennis fan for most of my 62 years. I have seen and greatly admired some legendary players; Laver, Borg, Connors, McEnroe, Becker, Sampras, Nadal & Djokovic. However, IMHO there has never been any human being who picked up a racquet as majestic, graceful, charismatic and as great as Roger Federer. He is, to me, the greatest sportsman who has ever lived. I feel honoured to have lived in the time of Federer.

Yeah, could watch him all day. He won't be remembered as the guy who won the most but he will be remembered as they guy that took our breath away the most...

Federer may not hold the record for the number of slams won etc but he is still the GOAT for one simple reason. He played the game on a different level to everyone else. Enjoy your retirement Sir.

No grunting, no attitude, just class. I have hardly watched tennis since he retired. Been a tennis fan since 1991.

I never get bored watching Federer highlights from mid 2000's. What a beast he was. People usually describe him as a shotmaker and natural talent and so on. He was also a magical athlete, strong and fast. I have to put Djoko as the best ever considering everything, but I firmly believe that prime Federer was the best version of a tennis player we have ever seen. His A-game back in the days was out of this world.

Federer will always be my favorite not just for the brilliant talent but his class and character. Always showed respect for officials and opponents. Very gracious and accommodating with the media. I consider myself lucky to have enjoyed his legendary career.

The most beautiful tennis player to ever play the game. Genius, artist and the best in every aspects. He is Roger Federer. He always comes out with magic and miracles. He is the greatest.

I miss his finesse more than ever He was the epitome of charisma which may be unmatched for many decades if ever.

I love it when Federer is impressed by his own genius.

Greatest sportsman of all time. He's my tennis GOAT!

The last one against Daveydanko is my all-time favorite. That's called Roger's Liquid Whip. Breathtaking! Next would be at the net against Nadal at the French Open. Electrifying! Thanks for posting. These were great!

the most beautiful to watch and the greatest creator of magical points. As others said he may not have the most slams but his inventiveness and attacking play puts him ahead of the 'other two' in my eyes who built their careers mainly on defence.

In recent times, professional tennis may have produced more efficacious machines, but none more soulful than Federer. Many will be remembered by their numbers, few by their genius. What his poetry makes you feel in awe is unmatched.

This is the most amazing 4:43 all smiles on his way to an other incredible point.

Amazing artistry. Will be sorely missed.

Federer is so good his touch is so good

I love Nadal and the Joker. But i can burn a thousand calories watching them play, they are so athletic and play so hard every shot. But watching Federer play is literally like watching water run downhill in a smooth flowing calm stream. Enchanting poetry in motion.

The great entertainer and ambassador! Loved the games he played with the ball kids as well.

Love RF! The greatest! Art in motion..

Hands down the goat. He made the game look easy.

A Federer on top of his game is the best ever

Watching him sometimes felt like watching destiny. He was just fated to win and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

Beautiful.

Ladies and gentlemen Roger Federer the number one tennis player in the world!!!!😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😮

There are many greats in sports, but certain athletes are a notch above the rest, athletes that define a generation and will continue to inspire long after their careers end. Federer in tennis, Tiger in golf, Messi in football. etc.

Forget about stats tournament wins etc he's the best I've seen an the goat

I like how Federer is silent and always beats the grunters!! Well done sir.

어찌 저리 간결하면서도 쉽고 가볍고 강렬한 샷을 우아한 포즈로 창출하는지ᆢ 세상에 다시없을 테니스의 황제답습니다♡

What a champion he was! These are probably 20 out of 2000 great shots.

El Rey del Tenis. Ningún deportista me ha emocionado tanto como Su Majestad por quien quedé despierta madrugadas psra verlo jugar ❤

He won a lot of his matches by being in utter control, outplaying his opponents and having time left for some magical improvisations. Djokovic and Nadal have the grit and tenacity, but Federer left spectators with jaws wide open.

The master of volleys, the king of foreband, the Lord of tweeners who didn't necessarily need to look in direction of the shot to make it go right One and only.... Roger Federer

this actually shows how dedicated he was in his shot making. 99.5% of all other tennis players would not attempt a shot that goes around the net instead of over it

Federer is the MJ of Tennis.

The legend in action.

Great selection!

Roger... we miss you on court !!!

Sehr sympathisch! Well done und weiter so !

there was a time, when federer seemed to have a special contract with the laws of physics, allowing him to do things that no one else can do. pure magic.

No one played with the skill as Federer The world ❤ you We can only hope one of his kids follow in his footsteps

No ooing or aaing from Roger, just MAGIC!

Roger Federer and Stefan Edberg are the most elegant player of all time irrespective of titles.People will remember them.

No one has this magic single hand backhand. It’s such a beauty to watch and he makes it look effortless.

Everytime I watch a Fed highight vid I remember just how much I miss his magic. 😪

The GOAT. No question.

Since he retired, I must admit tennis is no longer the same 😢

Federer may be the only player for whom the crowd could be heard cheering more than his opponent, even when playing in his opponent's country...

I have NO IDEA what past good karma the rest of us tennis fans did in our previous lives ….but surely we must all have done something unbelievably good…..how else can one explain that we all got to see Federer, Rafa and Novak all competing against each other in the same window of approx. 15 years….and I am not evening counting Andy and Stan W in the mix. 2005-20 - the Magic Years for all Tennis fans…….bar no other period

Maybe Roger was not so strong mentally like his great rivals Rafa and Novak but the way how he played. Maestro!

Federer, el Messi del tenis; magia pura

True Tennis GOAT.

Two things (1) it’s easy to forget that the most graceful of players also ran MILES to chase the ball down. Doesn’t matter how great your touch, you still have to WORK (2) it takes two great players to make a great point. Roger only has to play these amazing shots because he is playing against great opponents. The standard of tennis at the top is incredibly high.

Yes Roger enjoy your retirement, but I must say I miss you on the courts. I was a great fan of yours. There is nobody playing Tennis like you.

FEDERER WAS A WIZZARD! He changed tennis for ever and the rest followed his examples....❤

Was & is GOD ✝️ givn talent , tennis missing Roger 😢😢

4:20 .. just sublime!!

It's a Messi - Ronaldo discussion... Djoko scored more, but the magic happens somewhere else

when the world still believed he was going to be the greatest ever. well, he still played the most beautiful tennis ever, looked the greatest, was the greatest sportsman, the real poster child.

I miss Federer 😢

ROGER......WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS❤

Roger- wasted no energy, was the most relaxed in his body, the most creative (in the moment).

If Federer would not (have) exist(ed) he must have been invented. What a joy.

0:52: Best commentary ever....

The crazy part is that he has 2000 other shots just like these. Almost every match with multiple moments of tennis wizardry.

“Don’t even have a physical explanation.” Physicists: X

Greatest TP ever…. He IS THE GOAT …. GS or not ?

But he will be remembered as a man who won the most at one time records were meant to be broken but ladies and gentlemen my Roger will never be forgotten enough said!!!!!!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Es en esa final de Roland Garros que le da una paliza increíble en el primer set a Nadal, que se va al vestuario y lo saca de partido. Le hizo un montón de esas escenas en ese periodo y el "bueno" de Roger nunca un gesto de enojo, sabiendo que se lo hacía para desconectarlo de su zona.

Federer is something like Ronaldinho in football

9:47 peak Davydenko vs peak Fed , that was violent

it's remarkable that with all the fantastic amazing shots Federer did you still had to include 2 where opponents mis hit the ball and one where it was a simple shot a 10 year old could make as opponent was too far away to hit it. That's 3 moments of brilliance we missed out on.

they always have a physical explanation....otherwise they wouldn't happen....

Super Fed. do you like also Alf from 1990

6:31 Bird

Bad Azz💯

That killer forehand.

5:54 is wild. Took him out of his shoes!

Dustin Brown highlights would be just as impressive

Do you lack the license to show any Wimbledon highlights or something? That's probably where most of his best shots were. The top one that comes to mind was around 2008 facing set point against Nadal and Roger smoked a perfect backhand passing shot down the line.

Jes

Wonderful. But of course they have a physical explanation, otherwise he couldn't have done them.

I miss those Rafa shorts...

When you know you had lost it but forced to make a move, your subconscious mind (98% brain) takes over & brings the best move out of you.

Novok is in making of the Greatest ever tannis player like Jahangir Khan in Squash.

All of these beyond the imagination of even djokovic the supposed GOAT.

How does this not include the Agassi one where Federer ended the point with a lob over Agassi's head.

You missed the greatest of all. His backhand get with the ball well up court of him, turned near fully up court, to lob Agassi to perfection.

i have no physical explanation for some of these shots!!

Federer llegó a emocionar hasta a sus rivales...algo difícil de ver...

A minute in and literally zero of those shots were close to "nobody would believe if not filmed".... Continuing on, and.... hell, I've done most of those when I was a junior tennis player. In fact, if these are so good nobody would believe if not filmed, then you wouldn't believe some of the shots I've made when I was a tennis player...... I was actually expecting some crazier/more impressive shots than these. The shots between the legs, or the spinning forehand early on, yeah, I get those being there, but honestly they're relatively common these days. Trick shots sure, but nothing befitting the title...... I mean, I once hit a shot that hit the tape of the net, rolled almost half of the length of the net across the top of the tape before rolling over the other side and landing in. THAT is the kind of shot nobody would believe if it wasn't filmed. Hell, I DID that and scarcely believe it. Gotta say, a little disappointed that they're just good tennis shots or good tennis in general as opposed to whatever the title made it out to be. That shot at 4mins, my coach literally taught me that shot, but better, landing much closer to the net. So close in fact I hit it against someone who bragged about his ranking in the state and he stood their stunned in disbelief for 3 seconds, before cheating and calling it out as junior tennis you umpire your own side of the court, at least that's how it was in pretty much all tournaments as a junior here. It's difficult, but hardly a shot nobody would believe, especially not someone who's actually played at a high level.

some of these everybody would believe

GOAT period.

Federer makes the game look effortless yet with so much variation, craft and intelligence. And no grunting / yelling. Sheer class and a joy to watch.

Supposed GOAT made to look silly at 5:45. Lol!

I’m a fed fan but let’s not be hyperbolic. Tennis nor federer break the laws of physics “no physical explanation” my ass

they dont make em like this anymore

I always thought the ball had to literally go over the net. Obviously not.

Nadal is the beast

5:40 Seriously Joker, you're going to try to Fed the Fed? He knew exactly what you were fixing to do. Class dismissed.

Young Federer would beat current Sinner. Federer would consistently absorb Sinner’s powerful groundstrokes and render them futile with his finesse shots and dynamic play style, discouraging Sinner to the point of learned helplessness that he simply cannot win even with his consistently overpowered shots. Too bad Med wasn’t a Federer. Federer truly is the ‘Greatest Tennis Player Of All Time And History And Always Will Be (aka The “GTPOATAHAAWB”).
