5 Times NEO Federer Humiliated Next Gen

Hope you enjoy today's video, Don't forger to DROP A LIKE For More Original Tennis content!
Welcome to the Grand Pa Roger Federer school, where he gave 5 next gen players a tennis lesson!
Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Francis Tiafoe...
Players nearly have his age had no answer to the Swiss maestro's genius, and his brutal attacking display.
What would happen if Carlos Alcaraz, or Jannik Sinner played Roger?
Thank you, Roger for everything you've done for tennis.

[@alexanderwinzer2602]

Wow amazing to hear. i watch tennis since 2005. But without fed some magic is lost. I know he mostly lost all his records. But what you never can take from him is. He was the first men to get 20 gs titles

[@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.

Fed is the deva of tennis. There will never be another like him. You can count all sorts of statistics... none of that matters... all you need are your eyes to see that no-one has ever played the game as well as him.

[@annewalden3795]

You are so right the sport of tennis misses the G O AT namely Roger Federer.

[@annewalden3795]

​@@noeldacosta7621I would go as far as saying that Roger has played tennis beautifully for many years .

[@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.

[@celinegarcia4158]

As far as I'm concerned Federer inspired a whole new generation of tennis players & fans. A true tennis fan will respect all tennis greats. Appreciate those who've laid the groundwork for even more tennis excellence. Not only is Federer celebrated for his tennis skills but also for being such a class act. Thanks for this video gem.

[@Bill_Stranix]

He is definitely not gracious in defeat. Like every time he gets destroyed by Novak.

[@geraldtek]

[@louisstevensexperience2984]

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

[@cineastik8220]

That level by Federer in the Halle 2017 final was absolutely ridiculous…😮

[@huzcer]

Although Zverev beat him 4-3 in the head to head

[@ChuyMJ12]

Since he played just one tournament in 2020 and stopped playing mid-2021, 2019 was his last full season, so I officially consider it was his last season. And man, what an amazing season!

[@cavon_08]

Best forehand in the history of the sport. GOD

[@Codesta]

The variety that we don’t see much these days. I don’t know many players that can effectively use a forehand slice.

[@thejester6753]

Alcaraz seems to have developed a very similar slice/drop shot. Closest one I’ve seen at least

[@futterkulcha]

In that Halle final tennis was taken to its completion.

[@GOJOSATOROUOJT]

Whoever is confused, Neo Federer is 2017- 2018 First Half, and after that wherever he played really great

[@gamejester.]

Agreed - it basically ended when he switched to Uniqlo or even Indian Wells 2018 final. I think if he wins that match he continues at least through 2019

[@blackblueandgold]

​@@gamejester.biggest tegret is one in 2019.. we all know, in second half of 2018 he had a wrist injury, then in 2020 knees came back

[@Saskobest]

i dont think Fed played in 2018 even in AO as good as he was in 2017.

[@bonzwah1]

@@Saskobest yeah definitely a case of competition being weaker in 2018 so he still made it happen. really the peak "neo" magic, in my mind, was 2017 AO to the sunshine double. after that, he kinda just resumed his regular level. the hesitation in his backhand crept back in, and he constructed his points around the slice much more than the drive backhand. but 2017 AO through the sunshine double, he was stylistically different due to having unmatched confidence in his drive backhand.

[@SamJonesPlatypus]

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.

[@radscorpion8]

WHAT ABOUT THE BIG FOUR

[@jollymolly2521]

Sascha Zverev in the press conference after the match, "Roger was messing with the ball." 🤣 Ya think, Sascha? 🤣 When I watch tennis now I just imagine Old Roger eviscerating these young guys and Prime Roger triple bageling them.

Of topic but federer 2015 is slept on for being one of his best versions over 30, he was literally perfect that szn but had to deal with a tennis monster in Wimbledon and the us open

[@huzcer]

But of course most Federer fans would never admit it because they would have to admit the other guy was better.

[@Agent-bh9tk]

​@@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. Off court he is awesome but the way he treats his team, fans and behaves in a match is an utter disappointment, just for that he cannot be labelled as the greatest. He is the stats king, he needed that or no one would ever remember him.

[@ryaniam22]

That indoor hardcourt in Basel Switzerland at 10:00 is a fast court...just like they used to be. And what do you know Federer destoys him and looks amazing doing it. Also destroys Zverev on that indoor grass court in Halla to win it for the 95h time. People don't realize how by tennis slowing down ALL the surfaces and the balls it reality fucked Federer. They wanted to make it more competitive and it worked. It wasn't until they slowed it down that Djokovich and Nadal got any foothold outside of Nadal on clay. ON FAST courts Federer is nearly unbeatable even against Nadal and Djokovich. On INDOOR fast courts he blows them out the water so bad they literally had to change the courts and balls lol

[@gamejester.]

agreed! fast court tennis is a tougher skill as it requires faster reactions and rewards aggressive tennis which is more high risk requiring no room for error

[@huzcer]

Djokovic with the 3 - ZERO record on Federer in the final title matches of the ATP Finals - players usually complaining they are too fast those courts. Same 3- Zero as at Wimbledon title finals. Federer lost to David "0 masters titles" Goffin in the ATP Finals semi with a lay-up final vs flaky Dimitrov waiting. Djokovic at an older age beat Alcaraz and Sinner back to back for the the ATP Finals title for a record 7th win. Sinner would chew up and spit out 2017 Goffin for breakfast. And of course talking about Zverev, he beat Federer 4-3 in the head to head including beating Federer at Halle, Shanghai, ATP Finals... Halle was truly the land of pigeons for Federer - across his 10 titles he beat a grand total of 1 single Top 10 ranked player. Bublik beat 2 Top 10 players on his way to the title in 2023 😂

[@hehehehehahahaha2025]

Yeah I'm sure Federer, the most popular and well liked tennis player in history, is the reason they changed balls and court speeds, because....??? The slowing down and homogenization of the sufaces, as well as adopting heavier balls, started before anybody gave a shit about Federer.

[@huzcer]

@@hehehehehahahaha2025 And it's an absolute fact that Federer couldn't even make it past a 1/4 final at Wimbledon UNTIL AFTER IT WAS SLOWED DOWN.

[@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.

[@aljehine]

His time has passed. We will fondly remember Federer as one of the three who dominated tennis. Although he did not have the most Grand Slams, he had the most beautiful game of most tennis players from that era. RIP Federer we will remember you with pleasure, you were good.

Sorry, fairly new to tennis, but what did Federer gain by challenging the fault call at 17:20?

[@WivoRN]

No problem at all buddy! If it was out, it would have been a second serve, which is easier to return than Zverev's rocket first serves.

[@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?

5 minutes after winning Wimbledon in 2023 Alcaraz was caught joking in Spanish with the actual King Philip of Spain about serving out the match “I was thinking in when Federer had 40-15 against Novak. Please this can’t happen to me”. Federer is truly an inspiration.

[@vestelth7024]

Great video, however showing Feds opponents unforced errors does not contribute. It's not humiliation by Federer, those are just some mistakes and Roger made them as well.

[@theacechip]

If only Tsitsipas were a couple of inches shorter, he would have the same "free ranging" feel of Federer. Tsitsipas appears a bit gangly, as do Medvedev, Zverev. Again, Alcaraz is just about the correct height for his style.
