Perhaps the best match Federer played in his career on clay courts

[@NamTran-xc2ip]

Exactly, but clowns claiming he’s outa prime at 27 😂😂

[@UltraInstinctGoku69]

He still lost the final, In my opinion Djokovic vs Nadal RG final in 2011 would've been the best ever,

[@abanoubmilad5645]

I believe that his clay courts matches in 2006 and 2007 Were his best ever performance on this surface But Nadal is just unplayable

[@tennisfan599]

No 2008 final against rafa was his best match on clay. Nadal was just better but federer played his very best. Federer may not have the talent that djokovic and nadal have but he is a hard worker like lendyl

Nole was so scary in 2011 on the other hand. Federer wasn't winning slams. Everyone said federer's over coz at that time tennis players used to retire at 29 30s (pete sampras retired at 29) . Man shocked the tennis world by beating nole who was on a 41 matching winning streak . Ended his 41 match winning streak in this match. Man went on to win Wimbledon 2012 next year. And god .. 2017 we witnessed "PRIME FEDERER" ..we miss u "Golden era goat 🐐"

[@seethakowsalya8144]

Roger's resurgence during 2017-18 can be mainly attributed to Novak's off season due to his elbow injury. So is the case with Nadal. When Novak was dominating, he ensured that his great rivals had dry spell except for Nadal in French Open.

This is the first tennis match I ever watched on TV from start to finish. I was 12 at the time. I had seen Djokovic play parts of his matches throughout the year until that point, and I knew he was basically unbeatable that year. This was the first time I ever saw Federer play though, and my jaw dropped from seeing how he basically outplayed Djokovic for large parts of this match, while looking so amazingly smooth. Needless to say, I was a Federer fan since that day. I also fell in love with tennis and I've been playing tennis ever since.

This is his best match (Federer) on clay no doubt of that.he reached his prime on clay, remember that Djokovic was on a series of more that Djokovic was on series of more than 40 matches which shows that it is a monumental feat .it was truly a masterpiece (wonderful).If he had beaten Rafa it would have been one of theses 3 biggest tournament in his carrer see the 1st. Congratulate also Novak for his great fight he showed why his a warrior.❤❤🤩👏🎾 Thanks you to the Roland Garros channel for offering us this lengedary match 12 years later 😊

It was his best result ever. He beat Djokovic, the greatest ever in his best year.

[@520LUNNY]

Very high quality match. The matches between 2010-2013 Federer and Djokovic were as close to the "prime" meetings that we got, with Federer slightly passed his prime and Novak entering the early phases of his. Novak took some epic wins at US Open and Australia, Roger winning at Wimbledon and Roland Garros. Classics.. the quality was so high.

[@elchanclascocina]

What a great take, have not been able to define it better! ✌️

[@Fraudkovic]

2013 federer was garbage lol what are you on about

[@520LUNNY]

@novakdjokovic826 Yes, with the back injury, his numbers dipped. Maybe 2009-2012, but Novak was still fairly green in 09 despite having won a major. It's hard to pinpoint where they overlapped in closest to prime.

Fed’s best performance on clay and Fed did Nadal a favour as well by beating Novak here as I think Novak might have beaten Nadal in the final.

Definitely one of my all time favorite matches somehow. I was nailbiting for Novak so much and was so impressed on the other hand how Roger played especially in the third set.

No peak Djokovic here, he was dominating but wasn't peak, he didn't slice back then, he didn't drop shot, he didn't volley, and he wasn't mentally stonger. He had won 43 straight matches but he only had 2 GS to show for, while Federer had... 16? Federer was the better player in this match, as he was also in Wimbledon 2019, difference was in one of the matches he won all the tie breakers and in the other one he lost all of them.

Maybe one day, UEFA will do the same with Champions League matches

[@Agent-hh2kk]

2011 French open and 2019 Wimbledon were two slams where Roger played exceptional tennis and still finished just short both times. If anything he could have actually won both matches in straight sets if you actually watched both matches. Its a shame that he couldn't finish points when it mattered most but thats life i guess.

[@lammie001]

The way these commentators in the beginning underestimate Federer is quite astounding. He had the career slam won the french and record gs titles and he suddenly is a heavy dog just because djokovic had beaten him a couple of times. More and more i feel everyone was way too critical towards federer at the height of his career

one of the 2 times Federer beat prime Djokovic in Grandslams ( another one is Wimbledon 2012) If he could make up his mind and mental game like these matches . He would have won more but as a Djokovic fan I am happy that didnt happen.

[@elchanclascocina]

Do you feel Djokovic was in his prime also in 2012? I've never considered it because... well because he ended up losing that Wimbledon semi that you mention, then also Olympics and USO vs Murray, also to Delpo at Wimbledon and so on... I've always felt 2nd half of 2012 and overall 2013 were "down years" for Nole (which were still pretty good)...though recently I started realizing that they were great years for the others (Nadal was great in 2013 and Nole was there in great matches, but didn't win the big ones there... except Monte Carlo? which was huge, so). Thoughts?

[@HeisenbergR]

Federer did Nadal a big favor. Beating Djokovic who was like a beast, with a streak of 41 matches that year, with a streak of 4 victories against Nadal, and beating him only a few weeks ago in clay, I think that mentally Nadal was more at a disadvantage against Djokovic, Although Nadal is indomitable here, I think that Djokovic beating Federer could win the title. Just imagine Djokovic winning this Roland Garros and then ends up winning the 4 majors, dealing a very hard blow to Nadal. In a way, I think Nadal preferred to face Federer in the final this year, since mentally at that time there was a mental advantage, and in fact that was the case in that final. With all due respect to the big three, I'm a Fed fan
