I don’t know if ppl really understand how aggressive and low percentage tennis he played, there’s a difference in being aggressive and just hitting the ball hard. That’s my main reasoning for him being GOAT, such a high success rate with such low percentage aggressive tennis.

Yes well said....nobody can even try to repeat it...if they follow Roger's pattern of play, I dont think they can even win a single ATP 250 title..he is surely once in a lifetime player

All heart-stopping perfection. He is at the top of his form in these matches, bouncing off the ground - so fit.

Federer's sense of timing, court positioning, transition to offense, the consistent hammering of aggressive shot after shot after shot...jab, cross, hook, uppercut... to soften up his opponent, and then comes the final knife like shot like a michelin star chef separating the meat right off the bone with milimeter level precision...it's unprecedented in tennis history...it elevates tennis to a kind of performance art which should be preserved in a museum. Federe makes tennis a high class athletic and cerebral art...there is no comparison. He is like the James Bond of tennis: suave, stylish, but at the same time resourceful, cerebral, and most importantly, lethal.

Just wanted to add something. If tennis is part business, part sport, part show/entertainment - then what I talked about Federer's game above falls under the entertainment section. Federer’s goal is to play tennis, win matches and tournaments and earn money...yes. Everybody does that. But it is the entertainment aspect of his game that is so interesting. His techniques, strategies and skills elevate tennis into a performance art without non-tennisy low-class theatrics like screaming after winning a point or showing off muscle and athletic prowess. Federer’s game is about pure tennis. It’s cerebral brilliance first, athletic ability second. It's like playing classical music in a rock festival. And still getting standing ovation from the audience, still selling out the same number of tickets as the rockstars.

Another very important but perhaps rarely talked about aspect about Federer's playing that I realized after watching these Federer videos many, many times is how he sneakily robs time from his opponent. When he switches on or transitions into aggressive mode, he just hits the ball slightly earlier than anticipated by his opponent, and he does this over and over again shot after shot, keeps robbing time, keeps his opponent on his toes, keeps them guessing, dictating the rhythm until they are just chasing and chasing the ball like marionettes. Fed slowly "cooks" his opponent like this, raising the temperature a little bit with every shot, everytime something new, playing with topspin and angle and placement and speed and depth...so many dimensions....making his opponents lose their bearing, disorienting them...and then finally when the timing is right, he administers the lethal blow. It is like watching a player play 4D chess with time and place using all the different elements of tennis.

@ArnHaz 3 ай бұрын

Continuing with my thought, I think the most important reason why Nadal and Djokovic were able to challenge Federer is because they were very much aware of this bullying by time robbery aspect of Federer, and they both countered it by being extremely reactive and anticipatory as well as extremely fast at chasing balls at all cost, thus nullifying Federer's time and variety advantage. Only on faster courts like the WTF London or Shanghai was Federer able to fully apply his aggressive time robbing strategy against them, and he succeeded several times bt beating them in straight sets. This is also why the 2017 neo Fed backhand was so successful. He took the ball way early on his backhand and robbed even more time from everyone from the backhand side as well, destroying his kryptonite Nadal in the process.

So funny that Dimitrov has always said that he learned the way to play tennis is because of his grandfather, does he also insist that Federer copied his granddad instead? Meanwhile: every single shot screams Federer. Just admit it, there is no shame in copying the great man, but if you'll be as successful in doing so is another story.

Murray, Rafa and Roger are lost generation too? Cos Novak did beat em en route to almost all of his GS titles. Last season was the only exception, i believe. Ah, and AO 21, Wimby 2021 and 22! If i'm not mistaken, the other 18 of his titles, he had to go through those 3 gentlemen. Sometimes, more than 1 of them. Not to mention Stan and Delpo.

@@jay_kulina Almost never he had to beat two of them.Which means that he had a cakewalk until the semis or finals. Besides, they are from the previous generation mentioned. Federer was 6 years older than him, Del Potro was always injured, Wawrinka only played good 3 years (in which Nadal was out of form) and Murray is a mental midget. They weren't at their best simultaneously. Unlike Federer who's inmediate threat were the other Big 3.

@@initialize21 What went wrong in Wimby 19, where Federer was better in like 80% of that match and still lost it? What went wrong in Wimby 2018, where Rafa was the huge favorite(Novak was terrible for about a year bf that tournament, recovering from injury), played better in that match and still lost? What happened in AO 2019 where Novak beat Rafa (who dominated on his way to the final) senseless in that final? I can go on and on. Just stop with the nonsense plz!
