Prime Federer Made Him LOSE HIS MIND! (BRUTAL & TERRIFYING Tennis)

[@celinegarcia4158]

Federer at his best imperious mode. First he breaks your rhythm, then breaks your serve, breaks whatever game plan you had going & then breaks your spirit. And Fernando Gonzalez was no wuss!. I'm a single backhand fan & l am a Nando fan at that. I didn't catch this match so this was a treat! Thanks so much. More please.

[@elleon_pro]

He is much longer than the opponents and its because he can reach the balls much easier. A natural advantage against the opponents.

González was a beast, like Rodderick. But He lacked a lot of technique. Watch "Chino Ríos", when he claimbed to 1° of the world. That's the difference between an always top 10 and a number 1.

[@carfetech]

Wrong. Technic od Gonzalez was really good, Rios did not play with Federer.. is other world.

[@BrotherTree1]

This final and AO final, Gonzo could not have played the first sets of both finals any better, but still got straight setted by Fed. Just ridiculous because both produced high quality points that didn't do the scorelines justice. Fortunately Gonzo was able to finally get Fed at the Shanghai Year End Championships in the round robin, but took alot out of him and ran out of gas for the rest of the round robin matches.

[@RogerBiwandu]

Damn, Gonzalez played a VERY solid 1st set, then after that it was nothing but pure demolition from Fed, no pity !!! 😳

[@sebastianlauragonzalez1871]

Desde Chile y fans de Fernando. Después de 10 derrotas, González le ganó a Roger. Fue en el Torneo de Maestros 2007. Nuestro Fer dijo : "Nadie me gana 11 veces seguidas" jajjajajajajaajja. Nada que hacer con Roger en su Prime

Fernando was as aggressive as Roger, but as good as Fernando played here Roger's aggression was too much. It was refreshing to see these highlights of both players taking in to one another. No fu fu mindless rallies waiting for the opponent to miss😊

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

Has nothing to do with aggression. Federer just had much better point construction and shot selection as well as shot making than anyone else in 2004-2007. You seem to have started watching tennis in 2020.

[@pawshands9706]

@@TheseHoesAreLoyal Your "opinion" is a dud. Ofcourse aggression was an integral part of Roger's success. The point construction would mean squat without his aggressive play...🙄

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Nah, the reason was González weak bh, everyone they played fh vs fh González was better, but everything else Roger was superior

[@TheseHoesAreLoyal]

@@diegosotomiranda4107 That's actually one of the biggest reasons why Gonzo was just no match against Federer. He used slice like 80% of the time, makes Dimitrov look like an amateur when it comes to hitting more slice backhand than topspin backhand. Plus we all know Federer's forehand is just better overall than Gonzo's not in terms of power but in terms of consistency, angle, and variety. Plus Federer's serve was too good for Gonzo to handle, who didn't really have a good return of serve. Federer's serve from the get-go just set up the point to be bound to be won by himself, no chance for Gonzo. Meanwhile, Federer's slice also neutralized Gonzo's forehand to some degree.

When I saw Federer win the second set I thought that he’d won the match already lmao. I forgot that they played best of 5 set finals in masters events back then

Right, making them nearly as hard to win as Grand Slam titles. To a small extent, the switching to best of 3 also played a role in the number of Masters titles amassed by Djokovic and Nadal.

A couple of those forehands from Fed in that 3rd set is what sets his prime apart from 2010-2020 or so. Movement and power wise he was something else back then.

[@pierdomenicosommati443]

Yeah, he was just insane. Prime Federer (from mid 2003 to all 2007) is by far the most shocking thing ever seen on a tennis court. This flow was interrupted by mononucleosis by the January 2008, with subsequent loss of confidence which took at least 6/7 months to heal. At the beginning of 2009 he was back almost at his previous level... well, "almost". By 2010, he was not basically error free like he was before, he had lost some of his explosiveness and also a little bit of court coverage, so he started to compensate by modifying his game shifting his zone even closer and closer to the baseline, until 2013, when he realized that the type of ultra aggressive game he was playing, was not possible with his old small headed racquet anymore.

Gonzalez, my beloved. This was a great match.

[@wgllgw]

One of prime Federer's secret weapon against hard hitters was to stand close to the baseline. Requires a lot of skill and timing to get it right.. but this is Federer we are talking about. When executed correctly, opponents have lesser time to recover from the previous shot as the ball will come back to them faster.. its like practicing against the wall but imagine if you stood closer to the wall.. there simply isnt enough time to react just observe 2nd and 3rd set!

[@theodo9158]

as a fernandos fan, that was so frustrating

[@RahulSaha1712]

As powerful as Gonzalez's forehand is, what I don't think people realise is how powerful Federer's forehand could be if he wanted it to be.. Most of the time Federer just concentrated upon placements but in this match he hit some blinders.. It just shows that Roger can really hit the ball way harder than he normally does.. He just chooses not to.. I think what also made him do this in this match was also the fact that he wanted to show Gonzalez "What you can do, I can do better." That's just the champion mentality who always want to be the best

Just noticed how shallow that court is at the baseline area vs some of today's courts. Must've been uncomfortable for those players that like to stand deep. You can see the lines umpires moving out of the way of Gonzalez when he comes close.

[@jollymolly2521]

Two things - I think Roger & Rafa deserve an extra 1/2 point in the Masters titles count for every best-of-5 sets title they won. By the time Novak started winning Masters they were best-of-3 sets. The other thing is - when I first saw DelPo I called him The Tall Gonzo With A Better Backhand. Hit everything hard and if that fails - hit it harder.

As a Chilean, of course here González, Massú and Ríos are legends (even though Ríos is a massive prick, unlike González and Massú who are decent people), however, no one will ever say they were better than Federer. It always happened that González would reach a semifinal or final, encounter Federer and lose. Guy was just too good. I bet if González was at his prime in another era, outside of Federer and Djokovic, he'd have won many more trophies. For that reason, when prompted about who is the best player of all time, most knowledgeable Chileans will probably mention Federer with a bitter taste in their mouths.
