WE _ALL KNEW_ WHAT WAS GOING TO BE NUMBER 1 AND WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED.

[@blazymolds7495]

I think number 7 is still more difficult to implement

[@angerisdiscipline3913]

I think by your comment its the fedal rally but the one handed passing shot on the run vs djokovic is the most impressive

[@pantherablaxxx9930]

A point I’ll never forget!

[@SimplyCourtLevel]

Yep!

[@saurio83]

2017, It was 5 am in Mexico, glorious comeback and I did never forgot that rally. Thank you Roger. It was a pleasure follow your career ❤

You are not the only one my friend. One of the many great matches between them.

[@petergreen5337]

Absolutely. A true champion.

[@philsidock]

I watched in Ottawa, Canada (similar time zone) and that whole match was amazing. Truly a memorable tournament for Federer fans. 🎾

[@TheAnan7777]

He's the only one who made tennis look beautiful. Full of elegance! Will be missed! My all time favourite 😍.

[@Alexander-dt2eq]

no, at the time he bet the elegant Sampras, many players had good style, nice bachhands. It is only now after 2 decades having players with so similar style that we envy that. If Wawrinka had been that successful everyone would love his style. His backhand even today i consider more beautiful than the Federer backhand.

[@plankton383]

@@Alexander-dt2eq I’ve seen Sampras play, and my father been watching tennis since he was a teenager. We both think that Federer is the most elegant player. He makes tennis look effortless and easy.

[@saidmiranda1989]

In my humble opinion: #10: Pretty common great point from Federer, but not to be included in a 10 point list. In fact, Federer during that match against Murray produced better points. What about that classic point against Tsonga in the semis that same year, where he ended the point with a massive, complex forehand after an epic rally? #9: Great point, but it was a double bounce, so I wouldn't include it. Instead, I would add that magical forehand half-volley against Cilic in the 2018 final. #8: Great get, but nothing special for Roger. I would include the amazing defense and shot-making displayed against Tomic in the 3R of 2013, with the score 6-4, 5-5 (30-30)? Amazing. #7: Definitely deserves a spot. The anticipation shown was beyond belief. #6: Deserves a spot. That get was unreal, milimeters away from the ground. #5: Top notch point, but I think Wawrinka didn't do enough with the approaching shot. I would include in this spot that epic rally against Rafa in the 2009 final. The score was 5-7, 2-1 (30-40, Nadal serving). The shot-making was unreal, and Roger finished the point with a perfect forehand placed exactly on the left line. #4: Great shot, but very easy for Roger. That Nishikori shot selection would have been great against John Isner or Donald Young, but not against Roger. Instead, I would include that famous shot against Roddick in the semis of 2007. Federer was 6-4, 2-0 up. Roddick hits a massive serve, Roger mishits the return from the forehand side, but gets the ball in near the net. Roddick rushes and smashes the ball, and Roger hits one of the most insane half-volleys ever from the backhand side. Classic stuff. #3: Deserves a spot. Interesting rally with two lobs involved from the same player. The finishing lob was perfect, cleaning the base line. #2: Deserves a spot. Classic defense displayed. Novak's finishing skills on the net are not among the best, but still managed to do enough to take the point. Pure defense instinct by Roger. #1: Agree. His most iconic point, in his most iconic night. One of the most iconic points in the history of the sport. Fifth set, epic, intense rally, finished by a Federer classic forehand. Great video.

[@ambrahalert3793]

Agree that only about half of these are actually top 10. Too heavily favoring the last decade. Very little from the years he won it in the 2000s, nothing from 2009 or 2012.

[@aidanking1501]

I still think number 6 where he beat Hewett was the best. On the back foot the entire time, makes countless impossible shots and somehow wins. Absolutely incredible

[@baileykoo9462]

Thanks you roger for all the iconic moments in Ao history 😢🎉

[@04166561]

where is the backhand down the line shot against Djokovic in 2008 semi final???

[@kh2freek]

I get the feeling that the person that made this video did not pore through 20 years worth of matches to pick the 10 best points if the Wawrinka and Nishikori points make it over anything from his prime. Not a single point from 2005 semifinal over any of those? C’mon

[@chrismp3]

How is the backhand in 2006 against Max Mirnyi not in this top 10!!!

[@masters.1000]

I was thinking the same... The match point against González, the one against Safin, many against Nadal in 2009...

[@ridgero]

Yes, the Nr.1 is my all time favorite, I've looking back to this match and point over and over and over and over again, just wow!

[@Durandal12]

L'absence du passing de revers en 1/2 contre Roddick en 2007 est assez incompréhensible.

[@The_Thirsty_Crow]

For those who already knew which "ridiculous" point is gonna be no.1 in this list.

[@joshuab1707]

Half of these points are from 2017 when the man was 35 years old. Well past what anyone would normally call an athlete's "prime" especially in the sport of tennis. Just incredible how much he gave to this sport. We will have plenty of highlight reels in the years to come to satiate us when Djokovic and Nadal leave the sport. I don't know how long it wil be before such genius graces the game again. We have been spoiled these last 2 decades.

[@soodabhi]

He needed to produce that genius in 2017 to win and oh man he did !!

[@JH-gf4cm]

Apparently just 10 months😂. Alcaraz already looks like an all timer. But I agree we have been spoiled for 2 decades. I wish Roger would come out of retirement even though I know he has been done for years and there is zero chance. Still miss seeing him on the court though!

[@kozyrev.online]

I'm nearly crying every time I see the #1 point. Despite even here were many more entertaining points, this one is probably the most important and emotional of all his career. Chum jetze!

[@rajshekhar4163]

How can the AU miss the following: 1. Backhand flick against Roddick ripping Forehand 2. 2012 Forehand flick against Nadal (Similar to 2017) 3. Backhand passing shot against Djokovic in 2020

[@toivonencresto]

2017 Final is the most dramatic and epic, ‘vintage’ Federer returns 6 months after surgery, fifth set comeback after a classic ‘vs Nadal’ mental match attitude, it was a revenge, a ‘new’ and mature Annacone/post Annacone Final version of Roger and Thousand of other reasons, BUT… i’ve always though that 2009 Final was the pinnacle of the Fedal Tennis as pure Tennis sports magic (ok, not dramatic as Wimbledon ‘08 or Melbourne ‘17, but from a pure game perspective…) their best at their very prime. Some points from space, missed in This video.

[@benhicks9481]

yeh that 09 AUS final is so underrated, the shot making was consistently unreal. Just like the 14 Wimbledon final, both really should be rated more.

It isn't like Roger wasn't beatable. He lost his fair share of matches. But it doesn't take away from his greatness. The most memorable Federer matches to me are those where he starts slow and looks vulnerable. Then, miraculously, he dons the suit and cape, turning into Roger Federer, and then the fat lady sings and it's all over for his opponent. Andy Roddick said as much during a post match interview where started strong against Roger, and then Federer suddenly took the match over and Roddick didn't have a chance.

[@NickelbackUniverse]

Having goosebumps only to watch those points again

[@therealbs2000]

Amazing how none of the points from one of the greatest shotmaking duels in tennis history the 2005 oz sf v safin is on here...or the tomic shot

[@vs-mz8nn]

2017. Ridiculouuuuus! That's it

[@abhijitkulkarni7994]

7 of the 10 points were from fed's non-prime years - out of which only the Nadal 2017 one and djoko 2016 deserve to be here. Plenty of great ones in 2004-07, 09/10.

[@jollymolly2521]

I'm sorry, but, I disagree with half of these. I can name 3 shots in the Suzuki match that were better were better than the Wawrinka point included here And what about the half volley against Roddick in 2007? How is that not on the list?

[@yesungjongmyangel]

Like the commentator said magic describes Roger perfectly, he’s just magic. Also I love how he celebrates; not too much, not showboating, he just looks hot and sexy. 😍

[@WhyMe432532]

When your name is known all over your world even by people who have no interest in your sport that is the mark of true legend status. Christiano Ronaldo, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, Sachin Tendulkar. Roger Federer easily makes that list.

[@imawesumdev]

This list is just incomplete without the BH winner to the deuce court corner in 2008 SF 3rd set tie breaker !! Honestly no.3 in the list doesn’t deserve too 25 of Roger shots !!!

[@benhicks9481]

And this reel doesn't even include the shot against Roddick or even 1 shot from the 09 final against Rafa...let alone any from his wins in the 00s...should have made it a top 41 points

[@cineastik8220]

You could include ten points alone from the matches against Roddick in 2007 or against Tomic in 2012 in the upper ranks that are better…
