Federer is like watching a great jazz musician sit in with a house band. He can hold the line effortlessly, and when he sees the opening, his solutions are always so tasteful, so fundamentally sound. Like, Federer's game could honestly be described as "musical." His timing was impeccable, he never got too "cute" or took too many unnecessary risks, and when he'd try something unusual or experimental, it was almost always the perfect moment and the perfect choice for that situation. He always seemed to find the elegant solution, like watching a jazz pro go REALLY dissonant, to the point where you think "there's no way they can get back on key smoothly," and they'd hit the passing tones JUST RIGHT and it'd be seamless and gorgeous and yet at the same time feel obvious. Fed would hit CRAZY shots so perfectly that you'd think "oh, well obviously that's the right answer" even though nobody in their right mind would try that but him.

A lot of Roger's 'scrambling/recovery' shots are pure squash (the game). He played a lot with his dad when he was a kid and you can see it in his shots, especially the lunging, reaching forehand that he just slices back with a flick of the wrist. Squash & badminton all comes from the wrist, tennis from the shoulder. But you can definitely tell Fed has squash in his blood . . . . !

Djokovic actually did beat both Federer and Nadal in his peak, so we cannot go by what could and could not have been. There is no denying that Federer is a far superior talent than anyone but Djokovic is able to finds ways. However, I completely agree that Federer would completely outclass anyone if the courts are faster because he has the better serve and better reflexes. There is no point putting one over the other because all the big threes are very consistent but have contrasting styles, since Federer is your first crush he is your favourite. Even I enjoy watching Federer's points more than anyone, he is blessed with an aesthetically beautiful technique.
@bensportraitpainter67426 ай бұрын
You’re correct Djoker did win a few matches when both were mostly prime-however taking a step back: Although Djokovic has won slightly most on paper between the big three rivalry, Djokovic hasn’t had as much of a continuous domination of the sport as did Federer (237 weeks at top, 5 US Open wins & Wimbledon wins in a row, & added up to the 8 Wimbledon titles’ record, stand alone record of his). And in the last 7/8 matches with Nadal Federer won (mainly by help of his neo backhand), a statistic that cannot be ignored-many who prefer Djokovic or Nadal omit this fact that Roger’s backhand in his comeback was not a liability but arguably the greatest one-handed backhand! May also recommend an article by an assist. Sports Professor though the Atlantic, “What Every Professional Tennis Player Does Better Than Roger Federer,” which argues that his uniquely losing more matches than any other while still winning more points proves his superiority overall.
