When it comes to tennis, I think outside technical (Djokovic) and tenacious (Nadal) abilities, in terms of raw talent, Roger Federer is the absolute best! He's like the definition of tennis.

Melzer took a set off Federer and Rubin gave him a good run, too, I believe was a break up in the 3rd. Wawrinka won AO 14 you moron, as well as USO 16. So who's a pigeon again?

I know right ? I just realized it now but, you know, for every match or final you have different special shots of each opponent. When both players have intense rallies showing off their best tennis. And there are always atleast some points or rallies which you remember. For example at the Australian Open 2017 there is this intense rally or the special nadal forehand slice passing shot or some other federer backhand winners. And for this match the only thing i really can remember after rewatching it is this amazing forehand halfvolley behind his back by federer. I don't know if we are just spoiled about the amazing shots the big 4 have given us each match when playing or to say against each other. But for me this final isnt really one that will be remembered because of the high level of play.

For me it's simple. No interest in goat debates... im a tennis fan since mid seventies. Federer is the "prettiest" (among top players in history - shapo still too young, kyrgios doesnt win enough, etc) to watch, since Edberg, w an honorable mention to Pete of course. Roger has played his entire career, every point with a view to win the point as fast as logically possible. Safin didnt have the same variety or consistancy. But that's the type of mental focus. Attack. Rafa and Novak will end up on par success wise, no doubt. But Roger simply to my eyes of viewing tennis on hard or grass, has every shot in the book, and the most visually pleasing of the big 3.

[@3438-e9z]

Federer is the greatest tennis player but possibly the greatest athlete of all time. 36 year old winning best of five matches on hard courts against players in their prime. Unbelievable. Where was Rafa abs Novak? So much for that silly “weak era” argument. Federer at his best beats everyone. End of story. This match wasn’t his best but it revealed how is grit and will to win. I remember thinking that colic was going to take it after the fourth but Federer will kicked it into another gear that fifth set which 36 year olds shouldn’t be able to do. Too bad the AO didn’t stay grass courts so that Federer could have more slams. That’s what surprises me about Federer wining back to back Australian opens because it’s a best of five on a slower hard court. Didn’t think his body could handle it. The courts have been playing faster the last couple years but still considered one of the slower hard courts which is a shame. Here’s hoping Federer can win one slam in 2019. If not, it doesn’t really matter because it’s a real privilege to watch this incredible shot maker even without the silverware. I have a lot of respect for natal and Djokovic but I don’t know how anyone can hate Federer. Rafa and Novak are great athletes but they play such a boring, physical and defensive style of tennis. I think the reason why Federer is the most popular worldwide is because if his brilliant shit making and offensive style (movement). Win or lose, Federer plays on his terms which can’t be said about other players.

[@3438-e9z]

DS No offence, but your comment made no sense. How did your brain twist a fact into “I want my favourite player to win all the time.” I was stating a fact that the AO hard courts have played very slow from 2008- 2016 and that favours baseline grinders like Novak and Rafa. Just like how a faster court like Wimbledon helps an offensive player like Federer. They’re just facts that everybody who understands tennis is already aware. Actually you helped prove my point that if the AO still had grass courts it’s not unreasonable to think Federer would have another 4 slams to his name. I didn’t under data due your point about “tiley”? Are u saying you can’t explain how Federer won back to back Australian opens?

[@3438-e9z]

DS You’re a fucking hypocrite. So I’m not allowed to talk about court surfaces but you’re allowed to butch and complain that Federer played his matches at night? You’re pathetic. Federer is the greatest player of all time so he’s earned the right to play at prime time. What about the fact that he was 36 years old and won 3 slams in 12 months? Can your boyfriend do that? I didn’t think so. Stop being jealous of Federer and get a life.

[@3438-e9z]

DS Nope. Nice try but you’re wrong. Federer’s record is safe. Nadal is finished and Novak Chokovic has one good year left. Have fun loving the rest if your life knowing that Federer is the greatest of all time and there’s nothing you can do to change this fact. If you’re that jealous of a professional tennis player then you should consider getting professional help, if you haven’t already. 😂 I do enjoy life thank you very much. Vaffanculo bruto stronzo

Good sign if Federer has to play Cilic in a grand slam final, accomplished 2 incredible things when he's met this opponent in a GSfinal (Won record 8th Wimbledon title, nice and comfortably too and then by winning Australian open 2018 made it 20 slam titles)...where as the GSfinals involving Djokovic since he's been in his prime it's been the opposite for Federer, he goes through tough long matches as expected and ends up narrowly losing when his level was good enough to beat anyone else. The 3 Wimbledon finals losing to the same player has somewhat put a damper on his Wimbledon achievements, he won't like that the same player has beaten him in 3 out of 3 finals of his favourite and most successful tournament, even if he did knock out Djokovic who was reigning champion at the time in 2012 semi-finals and went on to win it that year.
