French Open 2009 Roger Federer Robin Soderling Ceremony

[@quo33]

When Agassi looks at you like that, Sampras is texting you wishing you good luck, McEnroe calls you the greatest of all time, Nadal tells you he cried with joy when you won the French.... you are Roger Federer, the greatest and classiest tennis player of all time.

[@stiop52]

As a Swiss fan, I'm really happy to have Nadal. We had so much fun, as spectators, and also we got to see some great Tennis. What more can we ask?

[@thelostmediapodcast]

I just think Nadal cried coz he really didn’t want soderling to win 😂

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

@@thelostmediapodcast Wow, that makes a whole lot more sense than being emotional over your rival's capture of the elusive major title. Rafa really did despise Soderling LOL But I still think Rafa hated Lukas Rosol more than anyone else HAHA 🤣

[@asharajbhar1176]

​@@thelostmediapodcasthe hates soldering for sure, but he loves Federer more than he hates soldering...rafa was not playing the match..so he cried not because soldering lost but fed won..he even cried when fed retired.

[@jmblnh]

This guy blows me away. Champion, friend, idol, humble, kind, considerate, appreciative and classy and who knows how many languages he knows. Soderling is a classy and truly professional athlete as well.

[@whis10]

Watching this on 2023. Can’t stop crying. What a speech by Soderling. Respect. Just the peRFect ceremony.

[@Dave_perry]

No athlete can match Roger's excellence and class! He's the greatest of all time.

[@30RockChannel]

Soderling saying "for many years to come" makes it really sad.

One of the best moments in my life was seeing Roger win Roland Garros

[@missa1295]

think of the PRESSURE federer played under aswell knowing this was his best chance and he would only have probably one go at it. unbelievable player

[@CosmicGirl02]

Exactly! After Nadal lost the pressure rose even more. But he always kept fighting and believing, just as he did during this year's Wimbledon. Gotta love him for that!

[@vincentprakash4891]

how fitting that the record-equaling 14th slam was the elusive Roland Garros, that Pete couldn't get his hands on, thus completing the career slam. 20 and still counting Rog!

So happy to see Roger win it finally... Soderling was right, Roger couldn't beat him 11 times in a row... He defeated Roger in the semis to play Rafa in French open final 2010...Plus he is such a nice sportsman, wish he could defeat Rafa next year also... But as we know Rafa when fit plays in God Mode at roland garros

[@atveus]

dejnaM well you see? I knew :). I'm sure that this year when nole will win RG he won' t be that moved... not in the same way.

I would be crazy if Roger returns to play this year's French Open (2018)wins, and he defeats Nadal on the way, after what he did in January, he makes everything possible.

Congratulations suderling!!!❤

Goes to show just how spectacular Nadal is on clay that Federer only won when he got knocked out, and not for lack of trying.

[@denisdaly1708]

Rafa has only one Australian, 3 US opens, 2 Wimbledons, and 10 French opens. 16.. Very impressive, but how does it compare to 6 Australians, 1 French, 8 Wimbledons and 5 US opens, 20 slams? How many more will both win? 1 or 2, or 3 or 4? I suspect 2 each.

[@christoph9081]

Denis Daly I think that's a fair guess, it's astounding at the moment it looks like fed could win them all this year. Hopefully Nadal comes back for RG and we see another great final

[@soujanyaakella3863]

Where is Ted Robinson getting his wrong translation from here?! At 7:21, Fed says thank you [to Robin] for making him laugh a little before this presentation because it is helping him talk better, because that's difficult to do right now [since he's feeling so emotional]. What Ted said is wrong -- Roger was not thanking anyone for "welcoming" him there OR for "supporting" him. TV networks can make such a hash of these things sometimes.

Federer was not great as nadal in clay court but he is highly underrated. The era b4 federer was good only in either grass/clay or hard courts. But federer changed in completely by consistently reaching Finals/Semi Fonals of every gland slams irrespective of surfaces.

Mcenroe is saying Roger is the greatest of all time here, but in recent years he seems to be changing his opinions in favor of Rafa. Anyone know why?

[@foxyswag9168]

hililala321 Because Rafa has dominated Federer throughout their career and will likely pass his grand slam count. It used to be Rafa only beat Fed on Clay, now he utterly picks him apart on every surface.

[@Malaika-wa]

+hililala321 He reversed his opinion when Federer reached this year's Wimbledon final, though.

[@ib6294]

Lets face it, if it wasnt for Soderlings fantastic game Vs Nadal he would have never won this title.....He wasnt even close, matter of fact the closest was beating Djokovic in 2011 at his peak, and even then he couldnt take it. NOT GOAT
