Thank you very much for videos like this one! 😍🙏🏽 I just wanted to know if there was any chance of getting them in higher quality? It would be lovely if that were possible. 😊

8:04 wtf was this? "almost half volley backhand lob" ?!? he saw chang was coming, milisecond decision and 10/10 dificulty execution level, genius

As a professional player and coach, I also had michel and his brother and family as members of my club where I was the director of tennis, he was the youngest😢ever to win the French. Federer will always be my favorite player. Grace, speed, creativity, variety, dedication. Even his training routines are something to see.

Federer was still green, not yet achieved dominance yet. Chang's strength is he was much faster, his weakness was his serve wasn't so powerful.

@mikerzisu9508 27 күн бұрын

He had way more weaknesses than that, and Federer was just as fast

last scene at the end almost nobody was there. Can you imagine, Federer playing and the stadium is barely full, lol.

They played 5 times and Roger won 4 of the matches. The only time Chang won was on grass. And Roger beat Michael on clay. That's wild.

This makes me realize how long Roger played for, this was at the end of Chang's career. His peak was 96-98, he went to the finals but couldn't get the grand slams. Mostly it was Sampas who was in the way and later prime Patrick Rafter at the US open

@jliang70 23 күн бұрын

Chang could not get another grand slam title because he rarely did well at AO and Wimbledon. At the USO he often ran into the eventual champion in different round. In 91 and 92 he lost to Edberg in R16 and then semi in 92, in 93 he ran into Sampras, in 94 he ran into Agassi, 96 Sampras and then 97 Rafter in the semi. He lost to eventual champion of the tournament 6 out of 7 years from 91-97.

Interesting how little topspin back hands Federer is using at this early stage, a major weapon later on. Robert at 69.

@chanallen1175 24 күн бұрын

Age is not a matter. You can see how Novak can still compete with top tier players at 37. The point is Chang’s forehand style had already been a bit outdated and the most lethal factor was about his weapon. It couldn’t generate enough spins and power. Multiple factors caused losing to that extent.

@prosenlund1975 29 күн бұрын

Is it just me or did Federer change his game a lot later. Lots of serve & volley, a reliance on slice backhand and almost seems like he didn't want long exchanges...

@law9665 25 күн бұрын

It certainly seems like he adapted and evolved his game a great deal from this period (the early 2000s), when he was a talented rookie, with that trademark bun hairstyle and headband. He still of course had all the world-class attributes in his locker, but not quite modernised and at their greatest potential, as he would make them in the mid to late 2000s. It's great to view these matches, retrospectively, in his young career, when he was clearly still utilising the styles and techniques from the 90s, and beyond; slicing, serve and volleying, ghosting in more often. There are still some heavy exchanges between the pair from the baseline towards the backend of this set, that kind of showcase what the game was evolving into; polyester rackets, quicker racket head speed, faster and stronger shots, that forced players further to the baseline. It's a quite remarkable piece of footage this, to be fair, in terms of how it shows tennis at a great inflection point, at the beginning of the millennium. 🎾

they changed the courts to make it more marketable for viewers and increase the grit on tennis courts. So they became more of a clay courts. The sport became more of a gladiator sport rather than skill. He/she would reach and spin the ball faster got to be on top.

I played Tennis since 1982 senior in high school. Now still playing some matches with high school players and second years college players. My first tennis racquet was Wooden Wilson, then Kevlar Wilson that Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras played. Those years, Michael Chang no where near for Stefan nor Pete, or even Boris Becker. No mater how fast a small man could out ran, his power served just not enough to dominate the games.
