2017 Federer was just ridiculous. I miss watching him every single day
@orbitalwarriorАй бұрын
That shot against De Minaur is ridiculous, the fact his footwork was so quick to create enough space to hit that shot, stepping backwards yet generating that pace, is insane.
@samy29987Ай бұрын
It's my favorite of the compilation. He got so much pace out of that forehand from a very uncomfortable situation. Flick of the wrist, cross the back foot and a rocket came out of it of a half volley from the baseline.

The only player who doesn't need the power of a 160 km/h shot... Unique for possessing quick timing with 144 km/h shots, always producing twice as many winners as the opponent... The player with the greatest forehand in history.

Would Roger be more entertaining with a 2 hand backhand is the more important question. The answer is no, his 1 hander is beautiful to watch
@msaw504Ай бұрын
Of course he would have won more. The reason why Nadal always used to beat him was because of his weak backhand which is ready to be exploited by a lefty player who is also one of the greats. When he fixed his backhand with a larger racket their head to head was 6-1 in Roger's favour.

@msaw504 ....yeah but you are both right, and i am not wrong when I say the Goat of tennis won 24 GS, and is a 2 handed player, the second of all times is another 2-handed player ( Nadal) then comes Roger 3rd with 20 GS. Sinner and Alcaras the future of tennis is are both 2-handed.....entertainment is a personal opinion. Reality is Djokovic has 24 twenty four GS , very entertaining, just not as cute or maybe classy as Roger, but that's just an .....opinion. 24 !

He retired with more GS titles than anyone in history. Won more matches and titles than anyone in history except for 1 man. So I think the 1 hander worked fine for him. The question of winning more titles has too many variables. If Nadal was right handed Federer would probably have 3-5 French open titles. If. Federer played during the 90’s when the courts were faster than he probably would have another 25-30 titles. Who knows?

After his second knee injury in 2016, RF retired for recover, trained and trained and secretly rebuilt his game entirely: his footwork changed, his hands positions changed, and most of all his backhand completely changed, stepping in the court more aggressively and hitting the ball much higher and faster, as a result and you can see the difference (when he plays Nadal with that green shirt) his backhand was unstoppable, he destroyed everyone and won 2 majors slams in 2017, Australia Open and Wimbledon, making this one of the most unbelievable returns after injury in the history of tennis. No one could believe it but Roger Federer Did it.

@@josequintero8615 there's a lot to debate about. If you ask me the question literally "who's the greatest tennis player ever" the answer can never be Djokovic, his amazing consistency brought him to be the most successful player ever, but Federer and Nadal's peak are absolutely untouchable, if anyone else played them at their peak performance they would just get destroyed, Djokovic included (which happened many time by the way, so it's not an hypothesis, it's a fact). To further validate this point, Federer was leading Djokovic in H2H until Fed was 32, meaning Djokovic couldn't handle prime Federer at all, he did manage to win more in Fed's later years because Fed's game, although still brilliant, lost the consistency needed to beat Djokovic's "no-errors" type of tennis. Records don't define how good you were on your peak performance, you can root for Djokovic, he's obviously a legend of the game, but he couldn't have played in 2008 Wimbledon Final.
