Agree. I would say he played the game a different way.

You mean Slam titles, right? Cuz Roger (at 103) and Jimmy Connors (at 109) have more total tour titles than Djokovic. Don't worry though - he'll play until he passes Roger. LOL!

​​​​@@jollymolly2521 If Djokovic cared about passing Roger's titles,he would have enterd into 250 tournaments like Roger did.Those things only matter to lesser players who can't have the important records.

@@brunofernandez2906 It's not the reason why Roger played those small events. He was very popular and some smaller cities/towns don't host a big tournament but still want him as a star attraction. It allowed his fans that don't have the means to travel far to be able to watch him. I'm sure he got paid handsomely for the appearance.

​​​@@fredko7086yes ...he put the game in another level...made a revolution with his shots he invented ..brown,monfils,kirios and even Nadal and Djokovic improve theirs shots because of Federer

Lol indeed, the slice cross court volley drop shots from between the service line and baseline. Not a shot I can honestly say I've seen anyone else hit.

and on Eurosport no less

The woke mob has gotten in your head

Yeah I was waiting for that one. Hits it 15ft high and Berdych never even got inside the baseline, possibly the best one of the lot.

Alcaraz mostly goes with cross-court ones which are easier to make. The second bounces are much closer to the first bounces off of Roger's drop shots when compared to Alcaraz. Not to mention Roger's drop shots look a lot more beautiful.

@@msaw504well you are right but let see alcaraz can improve even in thé dropshots He just started his career Its logical that federer prime and past peak is better than alcaraz is all aspects

@@victorito07 Yeah Alcaraz is the one person I would say is in the same class for drop shots, not got as many different crazy variants as Federer yet, but you can see the same ability to use it at the right time and just leave opponents completely wrong footed.

If you're getting the better of Nole and Rafa, you're definitely hitting unreturnable dropshots

That Soderling one.. he was on the move and still wasn't close to getting to it

He peaked in his 30s

I think he is rightly spoken about on glowing terms. But the period that he won his slams in mean that he avoided the other gods of his era at their physical peaks. For example his record against Federer gets better as Roger's body starts to break down. Still a legitimate GOAT shout though.

Definitely the latter.

That will be short lived fanatics theory. History will only remember the number 24 (or higher) and Federer will fade away easily. Also, how is 12 out of 24 slams "most of his slams". Just goes to show how dumb you must be to make these claims. Not to mention how in those 12 he had beaten Roger in Wimbledon, Australien Open, Rafa at French, Australian Open and Wimbledon to win 5 out of those 12 slams. And don't forget that Djokovic beat by far the most top 10 players on his way to each Grand Slam Title

@@miljann98 no, history will remember Novak the cheat, it's about time wada do another investigation

You haven't been watching then 🤣

@@kweizi5712 I will say that the only here who hasn't watched is you. You are probably young and stuxxd.. Anyone who says that Federer used the drop shot as much it is being used in the last few years is a complete joke...

@@FLAC2023 He was winning a lot especially pre-2010 so there was nothing wrong with his game. But he had to find ways to beat his younger opponents as they got the better of him so he did utilise the drop shots more as he got older.

@@kweizi5712 he learned to be more energy efficient on the court and when to come to the net more successfully with Edberg. But again, he DIDN'T use the drop shot as much as players are using it nowadays. To say otherwise it's just not true

@@FLAC2023 The drop shot is most effective when used as element of surprise. He used plenty of it during the 2019 Wimbledon final against Djokovic, still wasn't enough to get him across the line. Alcaraz used to a lot to great effect when his career was taking off. But it appears from recent matches, his drop shots isn't as effective, partly due to players now have wised up to his tactics. It's not an easy shot to execute well and when overused it's effectiveness wanes.

So what? Djokovic still own Federer lol

Ah yes, Federer's dropshots only worked because he was playing against weak players like *checks notes* Djokovic and Nadal

Lol, quick players nowadays. As if nobody could run 15 years ago.

Are you saying Nole and Rafa aren't quick? Though agree that drop shots aren't effective most of the time. They go good when done as a surprise element. It has always been that case nothing special about now. Physicality of players improved due to improvement in biophysics. Also, more physical they are, less effective they will be in the future. They have an expiry date.

Also, the shot at the net that followed drop shots were the real deal as far as Roger was concerned. 'Cause he was a great net player.

it's not speed of the opponent, it's the timing of Federer

You have some terrible taste 🤢

that's not true the exact same thing can be said about Joka's videos..
