Federer is the most overrated player in tennis history

Aight bro ​@@Captain-Planet808

The next ones will be Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune. Time will tell if magic will happen. None are as elegant as Federer but they all have great potential in their own style.

@@LaitingsI don't think so. The whole generation of tennis fans who started watching tennis 13 years ago, and younger got used to Big Three, as if it's something normal. Well it's not. Never had happened before and probably won't happen soon, if ever.

Agree. And not just the big 3. The competition around them is insane as well. Delpotro, monfils, roddick, berdych, wawrinka, isner, tsonga, murray, cilic and so on... They were absolute beasts as well

@@potato_rv8946 I do think you could make the argument that there’s more depth in the men’s tour now than in perhaps any other era as the game grows to become more truly international and performance science advances. The top 50 is full of players that at any moment can go deep into a slam. But for raw talent on tour, as you say, and absolute stars the big 3 era will stand alone for a VERY long time, it was historic because of their dominance, and I don’t think either Sinner nor Alcaraz will be able to replicate those feats, there too many players that on a good day can match them.

@@carlkligerman1981well yes of course if You compare alcaraz and sinner 20 years old with the big three in their best and domination Its logical❤They cant compete with them But hey Carlos and cie but more carlos just start calm down You and me dont know the future we are not a seer to lot of things can happended of course But imo alcaraz has the potential to reach them in the future maybe he will maybe not but in terms of potential he could And with sampras the majority say that his records will not be break … we know what happened next So the future is indpredictable If this had happened onth it could. Happened again

Serve with precision. The receiver always stays flatfooted and cannot anticipate the direction of the landing of the ball

The quality of his serve was: 1. Not waiting hours to play, he kept the rithm. Nice for the viewer 2. Not giving any indication on where and how he was going to serve. Most players are readable on their serve. Roger isn't.

How do you perceive it as played now? I'm new to watching and "doing my homework" with these videos, curious what you see in more modern matches.

it still is...your eyesight is just weaker as you get older

New generation just hit the ball hard asf and never up to the net or something, is a baseline game

Unfortunately,no one in men with single hand back seems to be in the top five during the next five years. Gone are the golden days when there used to be many. Have still some hope in women as there are two players who are single handed.

Las caras de Djokovic lo dicen todo Él lo sabe más que nadie. No hay, no hubo ,no habrá

@@wernerwutte3323 It seems that he is a good athlete, but as a person, as a character, he is greedy.

@@sinisanikolic7549 totally.....

Pas si sincère que ça. Et surtout mauvais perdant n'acceptant pas que ses,adversaires lui étaient assez souvent supérieurs

Hear hear. And always very sincere. A class act through and through (unlike some other great athletes whom seem to struggle with the hubris).

@@mariaberthier2448ses adversaires assez souvent supérieurs Tu parles de nadal et djokovic j’imagine dans ce cas oui Car sinon au long de sa carrière c’est justement le fait qu’il marchait sur ses adversaires facilement après les deux autres sont arrivés pour creeer une émulation

@@amos5281 Federer was a notorious sore loser, even admitted it himself. US Open 2011, Del Potro at the US Open also, Berdych at Wimbledon - there are plenty of examples of when he went all surly and salty giving only excuses or talk about "lucky shots"! The same Fed said publicly that Nadal is "one-dimensional" and that "On clay you don't need a volley or a serve. It's too easy'". Later he learned to clench his teeth.

Nike outfits are not like they used to be since Federer left

The SABR is not a chip and charge. Mcenroe never did that

This was a common tactic prior to the bigger tennis rackets, you're right, McEnroe did it but many did it before him.

No the sabr exist with federer But the sabs yes exist since Sampras😏😉

Everything except having the most slams. And most m1000. And most weeks number one. Oh, and positive H2h are out of his reach too, it seems.

@@IndineraFallzwell if I have the carreer of federer i Will be very happy with me Imagine that You watch a lot of video documentary in wich They sey that you are élégant on court magical etc… it will be a satisfaction 🤷‍♂️

He held on waiting for Djokovic to get injured for a while and it finally happened!

@@huzcer 🤣

but only for you

@@nicolagianaroli2024 for me too. The Joke had better competition conditions than Fedex.

​@@ooops372yeah like covid, great competition conditions eh. Djokovic is the goat head and shoulders above federer.

@@IndineraFallz Fed never took a timeout when on the loose. Great competition conditions, eh? Also, Fed had Nadal as one of the super competitors, nearly all way long. The Joker had them perhaps only 3/4 oder even 2/3 long. Because Fed and Nadal at the end very naturally slowly became less powerful. Fed started at 16 or 17 already on the tour. So with 34 oder 35 it is normal that you can not be on the physical peak anymore. But there always was Nadal ... and Nadal always had Fed. And Joker was always 5 years later and fresher. - Joker is a hard worker and a very good player, even with the undisputed reigning ability on the court, with a superb body, especially these days at 36/37. But Fed was above the field, a genius and a special human. - If you can argue mathematically and weigh the powers at all time, you will come to the result that Fed could have reached 30 GS w/o Nadal and Joker. - The end of Feds career makes me much more sentimental than everyones else's. I will not miss Joker that much. And Nadal, the machine, always had looked overpowering himself, so one might be sentimental but also knowing there must be an end.

@@ooops372 djokovic is almost the same age as nadal, I want the drug you're on dude lol

2015 summer fed was firing , djokovic was at his peak tho unlucky for fed

@@angerisdiscipline3913 that's not at all an appraisal. What @SJ-di5zu said is

best federer ever to see in my opinion, magical,brutal, full speed. in the final he somewhat choked, i couldnt believe my eyes...every game he got to 40 easily, then he couldnt make a point for his life. In the last game, had he broke twice in a row i think he could go on winning one of the best matches ever

Would have, could have, should have... The reality is different however. Federer's last win against Đoković, per tournament: AO: 2007 (Fed 25 yo, Đoković 19 yo). After that 4:0 to Đoković - 2008, 2011, 2015 (a massacre), 2020 USO: 2010, after that 3:0 WB: 2012, after that 4:0 FO: 2011, after that 1:0 in 2012 and then Federer became an invisible man there.

@@dzailibu rubbish, he was making finals in 2013, 14, 15, 16. Funking Slavs

Yes, it was a humiliating end to a short lived (two tournaments) gimmick.

@@tadm123 ok man, if you are happy with the result of that match, I'm happy too, and I'm happy for you too. One thing though, the name is Đoković, Novak Đoković. (You should learn how the name of the 🐐 is spelled. You can use Djokovic too)

Now, this is savage 🙂😂 savage and completelly true. Federer took that one Master 1000 tournament with his SABR, was completely decoded at USO and never used it again.

Federer fanboys have very selective memories 😂

Case in point: ukposts.infoUgkxWef5JPka1VpkQ87fAGRgw_GK5uUR1LYD?si=L9pBsqxDdxiHPBal

He used it on 2015 us open final and Nole lobbed or passed him over and over so he avoided this tactic on 2019...

he's like 'Wtf?! Return and volley? '

You can also watch ballet, there are much more elegant moves there if you are interested.

And inferior defense, backhand, athleticism and court coverage.

@@IndineraFallzyes anyone have their force and flaw

...but, Djokovic and Federer faced each other 50 times, with Djokovic leading the head-to-head record 27-23, including 13-6 in finals. Therefore, Novak is the greatest. :)

​@@sinisanikolic7549 Winning by 4 in 50 matches, being 6y younger and playing most matches after Roger's 30 is no flex in my books, but you're IQ is too small to go this far 😂

Tennis lesson.. Given by the GOAT in US open 2015 🤣🤣

@@sinisanikolic7549 I can see thinking is not your strong suit, but 50 wins, vs a guy 6y older than him, not being able to face him in his prime (when rafa could), and playing most matches after that man turns 30 is no brag in my books.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh, and let's not talk about how a granpa with 1 knee moped the floor with ND, only to lose on details...

He is not the goat by a long shot and djokovic always found solutions to federer. Djokovic is the goat by a very long shot.

Then lobbed him repeatedly in the big one a few weeks later in the US Open final when he tried it!

if they send RF back to be the same age as / coincide with pete sampras , sampras would have the most major titles between them. if every match was on grass like laver played...sampras would have the most major victories of all time right now :O

@@johncraftenworth7847 I agree. Sampras was something to seeing. I think we’d never see Andre but Andre probably the best returner ever and best at controlling the center of the court. However Sampras even made Andre look like a beginner at times

The ATP Finals were fast and just like Wimbledon he lost 3 finals out of 3 there to Djokovic there and never won it beyond the age of 30..

@@huzcer another person who just started watching tennis. Tournament director have said they played slower and even said they slowed them down. Wimbledon director has said they changed the grass to have longer rallies and the the us open and Australian open directors have said they added more sand to the courts and changed balls to have longer rallies. By 2008 all courts have been slowed down. The only surface that has yet be changed is clay. But also we are seeing longer rallies and matches lasting 4hrs. This stuff is becoming common also we are seeing more serious injuries on tour. This is all because courts are slower it was rare to have a match last 4hrs. Now we are seeing become common.

@@h-dawg1876 the ATP finals is not fast lol. Go dream your Federer excuse nonsense away. Federer couldn't even make it past a 1/4 final at Wimbledon until AFTER it was slowed down 😂

That worked one match and didn't save any of his records or improve his H2h enough.

@@IndineraFallzbut that didnt change that he is a Genius 🤷‍♂️

Sorry about that! What exactly did you not understand and I will try to help you as much as I can! ❤️

neo backhand is more like "nadal past his best tennis". Too bad fed only started making that h2h result respectible or even his advantage, when beating djokovic was already a very big ask for him . Nadal will always be nole's greatest rival (regardless of his best tennis being behind him)

@@johncraftenworth7847 Are you stupid? Rafa won 8 GSs starting in 2017, including 3 outside the French. He won 5 outside the French his entire career prior to 2017. And you are acting like Nadal is the only guy that aged, Fed was 35 years old when he found that neo backhand.

Federer held on to wait for Djokovic to get an injury and it eventually happened 😂

He is not even second best.

He is not even second best. Djokovic is by far the goat, head and shoulders above federer.

@@IndineraFallz numbers means nothing without context.

@@DiabloTommaso the context is winning slams on a tennis court, and djokovic is better at it than Federer.

@@IndineraFallznah bro numbers are nothing. how many shot did your goat invent to stay relevant? how many different age of tennis did he play in? take your number i m still with federer

@@DiabloTommaso Federer got lobbed when he tried to use it a few weeks later and lost the US Open Final to Djokovic. This is not a new shot - players like McEnroe in the past had done the same thing.

😂😂

Prime Djokovic was pretty unbeatable, which makes 2015 record that year against him impressive, defeating him 3 times

@@nicolaspalma93623 times? They played in Dubai, Indian Wells, Rome, Wimbledon, US Open, and in London twice. Djokovic beat Federer 5 times that year (I feel like I’m missing another one). That makes 2 wins for Federer

It was shortlived coz the US open is a slow hard court, giving djokovic time to think and play his lobs. Fast courts federer even at 40 will beat novak. Novak would be a middling player in the 90s fast courts. Sampras, Goran even ivanisevic his coach wud hav destroyed novak in those fast courts.

@@drnirmalraj2456 Absolutely not. First of all, the court speeds have not been slowed down that much, second, with Novak's ability to return and outplay pretty much any type of player on any type of surface, the likes of Ivanisevic, Sampras and Federer, especially on clay during any era would get beaten more frequently than some fans think. When the courts started picking up in speed again, Novak kept winning them by changing his playing style. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/nXuIoIWrm4V7x3U.html Federer was an outstanding player, #2 in my book. But Djokovic is rightfully the goat.

Remembering Montecarlo 1988 when Bahrami made fun of him doing that same thing...Roger didn't invented it.

@@claus191272 That wasn't a sneak attack; he just stood there and the server could see him.

@my8osprive Agreed...it was a fun attack not a sneaky one...look it up, he wasn't standing

Djokovic decoded it easily once the effect of surprise was gone.

Watch US open 2015 final which took place just a few weeks after this match. Nole figured him out

Return of serve

cheers, and Fed was known for being hyper agressive. Prob why the other great 3, Murray, Dj and Nadal developed great returns, the former two being the best.@@davidbornstein9197

It looks close, but i reality it's far and very very fast!

Kidding! Roger is the GOAT!

Cincinnati masters final 2015

Djokovic had a poor 2010 - that wasn't his prime. In the biggest matches, tournament finals of they played 19, Federer didn't even win 1/3 of them.

@@huzcer why nitpick on details, as if a semifinal isn't a big match, or somehow 2010, at 23 years old, wasn't prime age for Djokovic while it was for anyone else? Of course in their 16-17 years of career overlap, 10-11 of those came with Federer past prime. He should have only won about 1/3 against a rough equal, but he did a bit better than that overall. He held similar records as Nole against Murray and Stan and everyone else, holding a little less than even against Novak, only getting crushed by Nadal, until Nadal was past prime.

@@coulie27 2010 was the only year since 2006 along with 2017 when Djokovic was injured that he didn't win any masters or slam. That explains it pretty clearly. At 23 in 2011 though Djokovic beat Fedal 10-1 for the year in an absolutely dominant display. Federer was a few weeks off 22 before he even made it past his first slam quarter-final in a much softer period.

@@huzcer ah, your bias is showing 😂 . There's no reasoning with your type, every Novak loss is excused and every victory proof he was the goat. It's like y'all live to breathe Nole's farts. It never occurs to you that it's terrible logic to claim both Federer only won because of weak competition, and also Novak sometimes beating older Fed -- usually in 5-setters, and while closer to prime age -- makes him the better player. If Fed was so weak how did Novak lose to him so much? The truth is that if their ages were reversed, Roger would have absolutely dominated the Djoker. Have a good one, cheers.

@@coulie27 2011 was not far stronger than 2003 - you're really going to argue that? that's a laugh. It took "prime Federer" 7 whole years to get 8 wins off Nadal 2004-2010 (with 14 losses to go with). Djokovic beat Nadal who was coming off his 2010 best year ever, 7 times in a row in just 10 months from March 2011, all finals, including 3 grand slam finals and 2 masters clay finals. Perspective.

Most people aren't Nole fans 😊

No true tennis fan is a fan of that fraud

Sneak attack by Roger. That movement he does taking his opponents serve very early then rush to the net
