10 Minutes Of Roger Federer Sending Commentators WILD

[@oneone5028]

When Roger plays it’s not a game but an art perfected to the precision. His footwork, balance, recovery and court coverage and his versatile shots are such a pleasure to watch. You can literally learn to play tennis just by watching his videos alone.

[@michelebolzonello1736]

Absolutely.

[@dvidclapperton]

It was breathtaking tennis.

[@pacifist1360]

Watching his movements on the court, his beautiful and natural posture, balance, fluidity and alignment helps me so much to improve my piano playing as I learn a lot about using my arm in the most natural and efficient way possible when I play piano. This has improved my technique a lot. Roger Federer is the Mozart of tennis, absolute genius.

[@kennethbailey6634]

That shot against Agassi and his reaction is off the charts. That should be in the tennis training hall of Fame. That we have been enough for me to just go home. This guy has no equal when it comes to this game. You can't even explain what he is doing.

[@insulani]

I don’t see myself going back watching videos from his main competitors once they have retired. Can’t get enough of watching Federer though. I believe as humans we always long for beauty as it elates the soul and evokes emotions. This is what I experience watching this. Pure joy.

The one quality that Federer had above and beyond any player (past or present) was GRACE. Nadal hustles with frenetic energy and bustling athleticism, Novak has the complete game with little to no weaknesses, but Roger played with an effortless élan, a grace and fluidity that almost made him seem a ballet dancer. He made impossible shots with an artistry that defied and transcended the limitations the rest of us burden under. I think that's why it was so exhilarating to watch him play: he made the improbable rote, and the impossible seem easy, giving all of us a glimpse into how it would feel to truly fly.

You are simply the very best!🙏🏻🏆❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You made us all fall in love with this sport. You made us believe that no matter how hard life knocks us down, we must never give up and keep Believeing. It was a privilege watching you, right from my childhood days,almost 2 decades ago till now. You are an icon in not only tennis, but also the Sporting Universe as a whole. We all realise what you had to go through the past 3 years with 3 back to back arthroscopic surgeries on the knee. The only thing I am happy about now is that you will be relieved of the physical stress that a tennis athlete has to endure in order to play at the highest level. Needless to say that it breaks my heart to even imagine that you will never be seen again in the ATP Circuit after next week. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔Tennis will never be the same again without you, Rog!

Your Legacy shall live on forever. 🙏🏻❤️ Tennis will never be the same again without you. 🙏🏻💔 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❣️❤ 2017... What a dream year it was!! 🙏🏻❤️ Now only the memories remain for us to cherish. Here are some of the feats achieved by Roger Federer. 1. Record 237 Consecutive weeks as World Number 1(from February 2004 to July 2008) and a total of 310 weeks as World #1. 2. Record 65 consecutive Grass Court wins from 2003 to 2008 3. Record 19 ATP Titles on grass. 3.

Record 8 Wimbledon Titles. 6. 6 Australian Open Titles, the 2nd highest after Novak Djokovic(9). 7. Record 5 US Open Titles, shared with Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors 8. 1 Roland Garros Title, where he had lost 4 of those Finals against Rafa Nadal, the winner of 14 Roland Garros Titles and is yet to lose a Roland Garros Final. 9. Record 23 Consecutive Grand Slam semi final appearances from 2005 Roland Garros to 2010 Australian Open, which also features a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam Finals from 2005 Wimbledon to 2007 US Open, followed by yet another 8 consecutive Grand Slam Finals from 2008 Roland Garros to 2010 Australian Open. 10.

Davis Cup Champion( 2014). 16. 0 match retirements. Needless to say that the Legacy of this Great Man is beyond any numbers. He revolutionized the sport in astronomical levels with his fluid style of play, that made this Challenging sport seem like a walk in the park. He is in every sense THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. He now leaves behind an INFINITE LEGACY, and a void that can never ever be fulfilled. The Legacy built on a foundation of a combination of God-gifted talent, hard work, dedication and enormous sacrifice.

Greatest ambassador of tennis and arguably the greatest of any sport, most beloved wordwide, most admired/respected/imitated by his peers. He brought class, elegance, and excitement to the court all over the world. And while his overall playing career doesn't match Djokovic, I'd argue that Fed had the best ~10 year period. He had a 40 slam period, starting 2003 until 2013, in which he accomplished: - 17 GS titles, 24 finals, 33 semifinals, 38 QF (again, this is out of 40!) - 10 consecutive finals - 23 consecutive semifinals - 36 consecutive QF This level of consistency is absolutely amazing.

[@sup9542]

The competition definitely dipped as Djokovic in particular racked up Slams. If there ever was a weak era, it was the last several years, but it's looking better now with Alcaraz, Sinner and others. Federer's prime gets called a weak era by kids who were too young to have seen it. But make no mistake, the field was full of men back then, not boys. They were just tougher, battle scarred opponents, not a bunch of softies whose parents forced them to play.

Also Federer barely ever lost any important games to weak era players who couldn't keep up with him & his serve nor did they even keep up with a prodigy Nadal being just a clay courter mainly by then that's why Federer won most of his Slams back in that same weak era before he struggled to win them after that when Nadal then Djokovic joined him at the top of the tennis hirarchy, also when Federer started his career as a teenager in 1998 Sampras & Aggasi were already elders for tennis players aka too old to dominate and when he started beating them during his 20's at the early 2000's Sampras was playing his last tennis season before retiring due to his injuries ruining him back in 2002 which was 2 years before Federer even reached his prime just like Aggasi who could barely keep up with the highest level of tennis mainly back then before he also retired in 2006 for those same reasons, so the first rival & legit test in tennis which Federer concistantly had was a clay courter Nadal as a teenager back then which already started dominating him to expose him & his weak era of mid 2000's.

[@georgiostemirsidis1966]

@@zakariadjouzi660 I never liked Djokovic but at least I never disrespect him in my comments. Everything you say basically implies that Federer is a hack. He stopped dominating in his mid 30s. He won most of his slams after Nadal had already emerged. Between 2005 and 2011 Federer was unquestionably superior to Djokovic. Philippousis, Kafelnikov, Kuerten, Enqvist, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Nalbandian, Safit, Hewitt, Moya, Agassi, Ljubicic and Roddick are some of the players that you believe are worse than Zverev, Berretini, Wawrinka, Tsonga, Cilic, Rublev all of whom Roger still outshined even as an old timer. Federer turned pro in 1998 and in 3 years was already a top player and winning huge titles. Novak turned pro in 2003 and wasn't nearly as good as Federer or Nadal for like 8-9 years. Novak barely beat a 38 year old Federer at Wimbledon. I honestly don't see what makes Djokovic "way better". Keep in mind that Novak started really beating him when Roger was in his mid 30s. Almost every match before 2011 was a straight sets win for Federer. It'd make more sense if you argued that he's better than Nadal.

[@masters.1000]

There's no such thing as a GOAT, because eras can't be comparable fairly. Not even Novak and Roger can be compared fairly due to the age gap between them. Roger's tennis belonged to the 90's and he brought that into each decade he played. He adapted his game to every standard and development of the modern times without sacrificing his essence. He had no business playing (let alone winning) against people much younger than him while he was out of his prime or above 30yo. Every player from his generation retired at 28-32. That alone is worthly enough of any praise he gets. On top of that, Roger got everything to show for. He had the technique, the aesthetics and the numbers to prove his status. He may have lost the biggest records now, thanks to the absence of new players rising to the task, but he won our hearts forever.

An ERA-DEFINING legend of modern tennis. There will never be another Roger Federer.

[@kgarg92]

Peak Roger was unmatchable in entertainment and tennis mastery

[@VikasKumar-nq8if]

Tennis will never be same without Roger playing

[@claudinevervaeke8159]

We willen miss you Roger.Enjoy the rest of your days with your Beautifulll FAMILIE. I Saw You Play on R.Garros It wass a BEAUTIFULL MOMENT. that I never forget.THANKS.

[@my8osprive]

8:06 I think of all these magnificent shots, the one with Agassi was the most impressive one. Agassi thought he had him and you could tell how frustrated he was when he sat down on his bench after being broken.

[@wahn10]

Hearing Robbie Koenig wax poetic when Roger would produce a magical shot. In all my years of watching tennis, this will always be one of my favorite things.

[@GoGoTwice]

In terms of visual genius, Roger is the GOAT - sublime skill, easy movement on the court, out-of-this-world shot making and that second version of the backhand was incredible. He had Nadal and Djokovic to push him to unbelievable heights, I’m not sure we’ll see someone like him for at least 50 years

[@KiddoMusketeers]

Do you find that level, hype, craze and grace in grand slams after the swiss master? I dont think so, he was on next level. No doubt GOAT

[@axch2983]

missing him already. The CLASS + SKILL will remain unmatched for a long time. my goodness! the fluency, style, the visuals, the excitement! im sorry, but from my pov, no one comes close.

[@rafaelnadal1851]

Ombeliebable career. Without a doubt he will be missed, no?

[@Bouba69363]

Quel bonheur de revoir Rog, la grande classe, le Maestro en action 💪

[@booboopops4894]

Love Federer, the reason why I watched Tennis over the years

[@pajarosnaranja]

I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET THAT RALLY!!

[@ASCR]

😍

[@user-iv1nx5ik5f]

He wasn't someone I supported but he is part of my childhood. Much respect to him and for his part in Tennis I will surely miss seeing his name pop when ever I would check Tennis results.

[@TheCosmique11]

That single handed backhand - what poetry!

[@camilogabriel7201]

Para mi federer es y sera el tenista que mas disfrute ver jugar Su juego era el mas elegante de todos los tiempos Se te extrañara su majestad

[@maxhumpston]

simply staggering. Cant believe we're talking about him in the past tense... Wish he could carry on forever...

[@tennispro2716]

The great, the legend, the goat, gonna miss you Roger. You have inspired me to play professional tennis and it makes me cry that you are retiring, like tennis tic production said, dear roger Federer, thank you

[@Mbetman]

The special trickshots are amazing on the eye, but what he did between them was what won him 20 Slams. With Rafa best forhand of the game, one of the best serves ever, probably with Novak more than Rafa best movement ever, having every tactic of the game, plus sabr ;) one of the best competitors, taking the ball unbelievably early (which is the most special for me), probably many more things.

[@seifeddinebenazouz]

the point against Agassi was really out of this world !!!

[@Humayunkabir-nn4rh]

The Swiss Master and maestro!!! Tennis won't be same without you!!!

[@drshylaja85]

Roger is a true inspiration for the whole world and for generations to come😘 Thank you Fed🙏

[@SorcerorStrange]

A glorious career comes to an end. Thank you Federer, for entertaining us and keeping us obsessed with tennis for more than 2 decades. Good luck for your future endeavors

[@note20ultra37]

Federer is most loved tennis player because when he plays it's like watching art in motion

[@jordanoh1328]

7:28 looks so smooth

[@georgejung5429]

Federers highlight reels (yes plural) are better than watching actual live tennis. This dude is missed already… GOAT!

[@tyrone-tydavis5858]

What makes it more amazing is that his competitors weren't slouches. They were also the best of the best and he was still able to pull those shots off.

[@PraveenKumar-ws1if]

The man who made us fall in love with Tennis

[@skfnv6340]

Nadal and Djokovic make tennis look difficult, and indeed it is a tough sport. Federer made tennis look easy and casual. That's why he is my favorite tennis player of all time. Love you Roger ❤️

[@asianapex_9946]

Tennis tv, it’s not enough!!! I NEED MORE OF FEDERER’S BRILLIANCE!!!!

[@sgketan]

Without doubt, Federer is the most talented, beautiful, vesatile player ever to play tennis. Variety of shots he plays, 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 1500 plus 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. Novak may go down as Goat but Federer is Lion ( king who rules)..👌🏻

[@realtruth9346]

Wunderschöner Kommentar, und sehr wahr. 🙏🙏🙏🫶

[@galatasaray984]

roger defines elegance and finesse.

[@well....7751]

Will miss this composed and elegant style of play

[@dn-anonymous]

Its also a showcase of the incomparable robbie koenig commentating the sublime roger federer

[@rosePetrichor]

Other people have to learn their shots. Roger created them, imagined them. He knows exactly how he wants the ball to fly and how to move the racket to get it to happen, no matter how he's positioned. It's hard to describe how different it is to watch him than anyone else. It's something about his timing and footwork and how early he takes every shot that means he almost never looks like he's reaching for the ball or caught on the back foot.

[@kwangsoonchang1892]

He is the tennis, everyone else just played game. What a beauty!

[@FC-cz6zd]

Class act and a beautiful thing to watch when he was in the zone, which was most of the time. The one thing, that by in large goes unnoticed, is how he watches the ball through contact. Most players are looking to where they hope the ball will go before making contact. It's a millisecond difference but I'd be curious to know how this possibly helped him to play at the level he did.

[@roblouw3038]

yes - that millisecond of literally watching the ball onto the strings is often the difference between good great shots and 'miracle' shots that seem to come from no where - i can definitely attest to experiencing that in both tennis and squash that when i watched the ball onto the strings everything was effortless (body, foot placement, swing ) and timing was just spot on -

[@vanbastengoal]

Its Magical in any way to watch him play... no one had this magic to play this sport...Roger didnt play just Tennis. he made artwork on the court :-)

[@margaretfleming3554]

Unrivalled artistry! My GOAT.

[@maxhumpston]

Every 6 months or so, I find myself watching federers highlights. It’s beyond words.

[@stuartcarden1371]

For me, Roger would still be the best player I'd ever seen even if he only had 10 Grand Slams to his name. I've been watching Tennis since the 90s and he remains the only player who has regularly made me question the laws of physics. This is not to take away from any other player whatsoever, they're all remarkable and have amazing talent but Roger was a once in a lifetime 💜

[@JoseCastillo-in1gs]

The agassi point... you can see his spirit broken after that one

[@PierLuc111]

0:37 simply explains the greatness. Elite vs elite , in the most important part of the match , and still makes a jaw-dropping shot like that. Federer , la légende suisse!!

[@edgargarcia8866]

I dont think tennis will ever mourn the retirement of a player the way we do Roger. "Legend" does not even do him justice.

[@shoaibpatel5171]

The elegance,the class,the perfection Roger brought to the sport is just unmatchable🐐🐐🐐

[@gunasekaraaaa]

When he is in his groove.. he becomes a treasure box.. we will never know what shot will come out next to surprise the opponent and spectators together. He did that all with effortless looking fluid style..

[@utkarshdeshmukh6414]

Roger made lawn tennis like table tennis! Stand and deliver! Majestic in every sense♥️

[@b.willisfederer8720]

I've seen all of them once or several times on different compilations on KZbin years ago, and most of those points r great, but this one: 8:06 Vs. Andre Agassi, that I already saw a few times before but not since years and years, is one of the craziest.

[@hikotaka4256]

I like his backhand drop shot. It’s more beautiful than any other players

[@Aiyangar321]

Greatest of all time in terms of play style no one better to watch

[@marshaloga3047]

Older people told me that there was a time when tennis started declining after Agassi gone and sampras was finally coming to an end as well. That period was really boring and tennis in popularity was going down and there came a man who Revolutionized the tennis Entirely.... The popularity of the game increased so drastically I think people of many different countires might not have heard grand slams or how to play Lawn tennis but they know the name " Roger federer". The first man to surpass sampras and reach the Unimaginable 20 GS titles and more than that people just love watching him play, he was the second most respected person in the world a couple of years back. His records will be forgotten but his legacy will not. Thank you Roger for making us think Tennis could be this easyy and fun to watch... :)

[@HermanWaldorf]

the point with Agassi is against the laws of physics. Unbelievable, The best player ever. Thank you Roger.

[@pablouribe1522]

I grow looking him playing, so effortless, with class, without doubt my favorite player of all time.
