Nobody has ever played tennis better than Prime Roger!

[@jbm8167]

Specifically at the US Open I think 2006 Federer was the best, he was hitting so commandingly off both sides

Completely agree. Federer could beat you so many ways. The ultimate all-court player.

[@jollymolly2521]

Roger's footwork and balance were unreal. As much as the strokes are pure, it's was the fluidity of his movement that made me a fan. No other players have the coordination and elegance of Roger. He could have played in a tuxedo and top hat and you wouldn't have thought it odd.

[@barryschwarz]

I have never seen a deep volley lobbed like that. 4:50 That is just extraordinary control. I thought I'd seen every kind of shot Federer has made. I was wrong.

Agreed. Today’s self-congratulating nonsense has become out of hands and ridiculous.

[@bradleydavis9502]

Exactly. Federer was pure class. I remember watching Federer in a post match press conference after losing that gut wrenching 2011 USO SF against Djokovic. He was incredibly humble and gave Djokovic full credit for the victory. A lesser man would've called his return on match point "lucky", but he didn't do that. He was very gracious in defeat and even said Djokovic deserved to win.

[@mickaellandry9726]

​@@bradleydavis9502ahaha I love your comment. Federer's reputation as a sportsman and almost angelic imagery is one of the most baffling things I've seen. I don't understand how anyone who has followed the sport even somewhat closely could feel that way. Federer displayed zero class for the greater part of his rivalry with Novak

[@RobertSmith-up9rz]

But he’s not jesus just like Roger is not jesus so can we just agree that people have preferences? I’ve been watching nole playing since 2006 and tbh his attitude was dogshit back then, so it’s not like his record is perfect. I’m also a tennis player so i know frustration and i know whining.

What joy to watch, his strokes, creativity and ballet of movement, even ignoring results of who won. Roger’s game and greatness will never be duplicated. He gives more joy to watch above everyone. We all, given the choice, would choose to play like him over anyone else. LOL some of us actually do try. But to make a living or win majors everyone with lesser mortal skills and talent must use two hands, a western grip, and large lightweight powerful more forgiving racquets with polyester strings. Grand slam records will be broken again and again as careers get longer, but nobody will ever play like Roger while dominating. Long live the king, who will always hold and own the court, the entire court (not just the baseline 😀).

For most of the 1970s and early 1980s, the top male players - i.e. Borg, McEnroe and Connors - very seldomly played the Australian Open. With that in mind, McEnroe's campaign in 1984 is probably the best year in the Open era: 82 wins and only 3 losses, albeit one was in the French Open final.

But in hindsight those 4 final loses to Nadal at his absolute best have aged well IMO). He also won 4 Masters 1000 events and the ATP Tour Final. In 2005, he won 2 majors with loses in the semifinals of the other two. He won 4 Masters 1000 events as well but he did not win the ATP Tour Finals.

Playing during his prime nobodies and hasbeens (Roddick, Hewitt, Baghdatis, Philippoussis, Gonzalez,...). As soon as two great players emerged in 2008. Federer started to struggle to win. Roger won at that time because great players like Sampras and others were on the decline so when you look at Federer was winning bakers and mechanics after Sampras' retirement and Agassi was the shadow of himself. It was Rafael Nadal who led the revolt to prevent Federer from winning everything and Djokovic came to extinguish Federer’s hegemony from 2011. Not a surprise if a constant player could win a lot of trophies between 2003 and 2008.

Federer from 05 to 07 was the highest Peak Performance we will ever withness. The time between 2004 to 2010 is the greatest span from any player in the history of this sport, no one did it before and no one did it after - including Djokovic, who struggled from 2012 to 2014 to follow the Swiss. He needed an injured Nadal and an ageing Federer to step up and get back to that high level in 2015. And one a and half year later after he finally won RG without the other two, he lost his Motivation. It wasn't injuries which some serbian fans are proudly claiming, Djokovic wasn't injured in the second part of 2016 and first part of 2017, that was later. And there is no excuse, if we take in consideration that Nadal for example missed so much time on that high level after his injury in 2014 to his big comeback in 2017. The Competition was at his best between 2007 and 2012. The downfall started with Federer in 2013, he was terrible that year, probably played most of it with back issues, but he still got it done to go deep and lose to either Djokovic or Nadal. A thing that the other weren't able to in 2015 or 2017, especially Novak who lost to "No Names" in earlier rounds to avoid the heavy beatings. Those things are the key factors in the H2Hs.

Weak era

Yeah facing Agassi in the finals an 8 time grand slam champion is someone weak lol 😆

[@mickaellandry9726]

​​​@@dewman7477Agassi had Federer's numbers until 2003 when Federer took over. It took Federer 5 sets to beat a 34 year old Agassi with all his physical issues at the USO. 😂 Roger Federer won at that time because great players like Sampras and others were on the decline so when you look at Federer was winning bakers and mechanics after sampras' retirement and Agassi was the shadow of himself. It was Rafael Nadal who led the revolt to prevent Federer from winning everything and Djokovic came to extinguish Federer’s hegemony from 2011.

[@dewman7477]

@@mickaellandry9726Agassi was fine in 2002-2005 when Federer beat him. You said Agassi was old only when Federer beat him lol 😆 Meanwhile Agassi took advantage of 18-21 year old Federer when Agassi was still in his late 20s lol 😂 sounds hypocritical of you. So if you mention Agassi having a H2h record before he got old, then you have to admit Federer was barely a teenager or past that when he first started facing Agassi. Also Djokovic also took advantage of 33-38 year old Federer when Djokovic himself was 27-32 in 2014-2019 yet you only mention Agassi age of 31-34 in 2002-2005 lol 😂 do you see the hypocrisy here? I don’t you making excuses for Federer age in 18-21 years old in 1998-2001 or 2014-2019 when either Agassi or Djokovic beat him during those times. Meanwhile when Agassi was 31-34 in 2002-2005 and when Djokovic was 20-23 in 2007-2010 and when Nadal was 19-22 in 2005-2008 and when Sampras was 29/30 in only clash in 2001 Wimbledon meeting, they all get age excuses from you lol 😂 Age excuse only applies when Federer beats them but when Federer was a teenager or very old like Agassi was, no age excuse from you. Hypocrite. Also Djokovic fans like to mention that gluten intolerance before 2011 is only reason Federer and Nadal took advantage of him including 2017 to early 2018. Meanwhile Federer back injuries are ignored in 2013 and knee injuries in 2016 and Nadal tendinitis from kohler foot since birth without any cure is ignored. Federer even had mono in January to March 2008 yet you ignore that too. So stop with the hypocrisy and saying federer is only one with weak competition. Novak since 2019-2023 had same level of top rivals as Federer did in 2004-2007 in the semifinals or finals overall. Both are weak by your logic.

[@Prostaff90]

We can debate eras level of competition, but equipment available, court conditions, and strokes/grips/methods used are objective. Federer could take his classic game, grips, strokes and all court skills and beat the best in any era, even the distant past which has to be included in the phrase “greatest of ALL Time”. Especially on FAST grass and hard courts including indoor carpet when only small, heavy wood racquets were available and “cheatalon” polyester was not available. Novak and Nadal would not have been able to make a living playing with western grips, mediocre serves and volley using heavy wood racquets, gut strings on predominantly fast grass and fast hard courts surfaces. Novak and Nadal’s lesser mortal skills require the lighter, bigger, more forgiving more powerful racquets, polyester strings and slower courts. They and their two handed game would not even exist if not for Chris Everett and other girls and women showing them the way.

Peak Federer is brutally domiInating all surfaces (2004-2007). 2004-2010 he beat all players at their prime Hewitt, Safin, Roddick, Nadal, Soderling, Nalbandian, Gonzalez, Davydenko, Blake, Ferrer, weak era champ Djokovic, Murray. 2018-2023 is the real weakest era of all time. who're Djokovic's opponents??? Old Federer, washed up Nadal, Tsitsipas, Berrettini, Ruud, Zverev, Medvedev, Kyrgios. mostly coming from weak next-gen gen. almost 50% of his GS titles is coming from weakest era (2018-2023) that's why he's the weakest era champ

​@@Prostaff90*Federer lovers are always full of excuses* 🤧 The fact that they had to talk about his prime, age, technical superiority, court speed, equipment etc. when it comes to his rivalry with Nadal and Djokovic is a proof of how formidable those two opponents were and they are probably salty too that Federer has a losing record against both!

[@mickaellandry9726]

​@@Prostaff90 Roger Federer is the 1st product of the slowdown started in 2001 and has built as well his entire record at Wimbledon on a slow grass. The Swiss groupies are hiding behind a false pretext of slowing down while the Swiss is the first player to benefit from it. The grass was slowed down in 2001 before Federer’s takeover in 2003. The Swiss has not at all experienced the fast grass of Borg and Sampras, and is building the whole of his record on a grass already slowed down. To say that he did not benefit from the downturn is a lie. Federer did not win his Wimbledon by doing serve-and-volley and would have been more disturbed as well by the big servers with the grass in the 80-90's You can minimize the achievements of Djokovic but we can also have fun doing exactly the same for Federer vis à vis Sampras who had faced much more specialist on a faster grass. Without the slowdown the Swiss would not have had more success than the American. It's really easy to minimize as you do

Even Rod Laver, only one to win two grand slams using one hand, small, heavy wooden racquets and gut strings admires and admits Federer is the greatest.
