5 Times NEO Federer Humiliated Next Gen

Same, there's some shots that only someone as creative as him would ever go for...and make it work. Alcaraz shows it in flashes

[@slam5]

@@alexanderwinzer2602 his 20 gs was against a lot tougher opponents that dojo won with. he transitioned the transition of technology. think about it, he was winning against agassi and sampras. and he beat all the gen after them. tennis technology was different back then. he adopted to a change in surface that was advantageous to his game. he beat the next gen consistently. and he was still beating the current gen when his body finally gave in. if that is not amazing, I don't know what is.

When Federer is on fire it may be the single greatest, most beautiful thing the sport has ever seen.

[@rrhotj]

Roger creates beautiful winners. That sets him apart. He executes. It is always a show to watch when he plays. He does not wait for opponents to make errors. He creates plays and winners here and there.

[@DonLee1980]

All that debate about most number slams or what not... The amount of skill that is needed to play this kind of tennis has only been achieved by one person ever. Where Novak and Rafa try to play the most solid tennis and watch their opponents make unforced errors, Federer goes out to actively create winners to finish rallies, some taking multiple steps to set up. Sure he doesn't get bonus points for doing it the hard way, but it sure is a lot more entertaining and respected.

[@futterkulcha]

This is the key point. Orchestrating and executing winners is teaching tennis its own potential. Outlasting opponents is great but not worthy of the title greatest tennis player. Maybe greatest athlete.

[@AL-ss4vr]

The number of times he moves forward to finish the point is astounding. Everytime he hits a solid shot and expects a weaker return, he moves forward and put more pressure.

Roger's game is just on next level, there is no words could articulate how beautiful his play is. The younger generation who got the chance to play with him is so lucky. But yet answering Roger's game somehow is like "what? I wonder do I know how to play tennis?"

[@SamJones-x7q]

Yes obviously Roger is incredible but it strikes me that in that first match, Tsitsipas was playing so much better than he is at the moment… We really took the consistency of the Big 3 for granted I think

[@luigimanzelli3786]

to be fair consistency has always been the key for top players, it just isn't anymore. Even players that were not winning slams were consistend in the 2000s. Players like Berdych and Ferrer for example, were in top 10 for many many years without fumbling, even Tsonga who was a bit less consistent, was still playing well for the majority of the year. Honestly dunno what the problem is for players if this decade. They probably just have too many useless things inside their head.

[@Milan1988Z]

​@@luigimanzelli3786 Lol 2000s were the era of most inconsistent players ever. Top players like Hewitt, Roddick, Safin would often lose in 1st or 2nd rounds of grand slams against nobodies.

[@luigimanzelli3786]

@@Milan1988Z i don't think you remember tennis very well.... those player might have lost sometimes, sure, but they still retained their spot in the rankings consistently for many years, thing that doesn't happen anymore these days. clear examples include Tsitsipas, Berrettini, Aliassime. The top 10 is always changing, in the 2000s the top 10 was always pretty much the same.

[@Milan1988Z]

@@luigimanzelli3786 In first 3 years of 2000s (2001-2003) 17 different players qualified for the ATP finals tournamnet (being in top 8) In next 3 years (2004-2006) there were 15 different players. In first 3 years of the 2020s (2021-2023) there were 14 different players. So even in that regard things are more stable now. Players like Medvedev, Rublev, Zverev are very consistently in top places. (not to mention Djokovic, Alcaraz and now SInner) Players dropping in or out of top 10 due to injuries or bad form has always happened, that's normal in tennis.

​@@huzcer younger mate, younger

[@huzcer]

@@Agent-bh9tk so wait Federer could beat Nadal off clay all those times in a row from 2014 and Nadal was younger. So it wasn't an advantage there for Nadal being younger (who is less than a year older than Djokovic). But it was when facing Djokoivc it was the big factor.... So interesting.. But let's look at it.. . Djokovic was beating 26 year OLD Federer at the Australian Open. Federer could never beat Djokovic at the Australian open again. Fed won 1 set TOTAL in 4 matches Djokovic beats just turned 29 year OLD Federer at the US open in 2010. Federer could never beat Djokovic at the US open again. Whenever Djokovic first beat Federer at a slam Federer could NEVER beat Djokovic there again.. Federer's last ever slam match win against Djokovic was when Federer was still only 30 in 2012 Federer was owned at the slams long before he was "OLD". Federer didn't retire for more than another 10 years

[@Agent-bh9tk]

@@huzcer it is quite simple. Nadal is not on Novak and Federer level on grass and hard. Novak prime was not as good as Fed, but he was younger. Another factor was his psychical strengh. Yup, in this he is greatest. I like Djoko, good Serbian man, i enjoyeed that he got the slam rekord, but he is not the greatest tennis player.

[@FExpiate]

@@Agent-bh9tk He is definitely not the greatest. Nor is he a great champion or ambassador for the sport and role model for the younger generations ON court.

[@dirkhartog7438]

I love seeing top young players with single handed backhands - some of them may even be as good as Roger's but none so far have his creativity and tactical sense. Most these days develop as hard hitting baseliners. If Alcaraz had a SHBH he would have been the closest to Federer's creative all court game but even he never serve volleys like Federer would in the right situation or surface. We might have to wait a long time for another that both inspires and wins like Roger.

[@Fiarion]

@@WivoRNWhat confuses me is that the ump had already called it out(fault),that's why the play was stopped right? So by challenging the fault/out call, isn't Federer basically saying it should be in? Zverev was already going to do a 2nd serve regardless. Is there something I'm missing?
