Roger Federer Saves SEVEN Match Points! | Federer v Sandgren | Australian Open 2020

[@arjunkaliyath6389]

Federer's last 5 Grand slam results - Wimbledon - Final USO - QF AO - SF FO - 4th round Wimbledon - QF This would be a dream grand slam run for any top 10 player even now. Even at his end he was competing at the highest levels. His longevity is so underrated. All while nearing 40.

[@cornflakes6810]

Bro rg semi final as well

[@cedricgiry4556]

Not to mention that he had injuries in 3-4 of these events

[@acebharath]

Lol

[@starlighthero6499]

Don't you mean Wimbledon QF in 2021?

[@thisizavian3691]

He's 41

[@vinhlenguyenphuoc8841]

His last career 5 sets match. A sweet one to remember

[@shyaminator]

Didn't he also play a five setter against mannarino at Wimbledon last year? Granted Mannarino retired before playing the fifth

[@bsrussian]

@@shyaminator yeah they didnt start the 5th so

[@adityasharma-ps6hl]

@@bsrussian they played one point

[@bsrussian]

@@adityasharma-ps6hl oh lol

[@rahuljacobgeorge573]

Yes sad to see his decline after this ..his knees gave up and he dint have the power to run for fast balls .He wasn’t the same fed anymore .So this was his last proper game where he played his best .

[@arjunkaliyath6389]

Watching this match i did get the dreaded feeling that we could be nearing the end...especially as he was playing on one leg towards the second half of the match. So grateful to have seen all the highs and lows of this incredible man and his 🐐 career.

[@kylejohansen689]

And before this great escape (while injured mind you) he beat Millman after being down 8-4 in the 5th set tiebreak. Without question this was his most unlikely SF appearance ever.

[@leep_uq]

How could he be down 8-4 in a tie break…..😂

Federer the greatest

[@joshm5779]

This was Federers last ever win at the Australian Open. Little did we know at the time

[@lightkira7526]

Obviously, he is the best of the all times

[@81219931]

What a joke 😂 this muppet choked so much and that's with the crowd on his side.

[@INFEDnoX]

@@81219931 Why is it impossible for you Serbs to understand that Federer is actually likeable and that's why people call him the best of all time? Nobody likes your antivax hero. He can win 50 grand slams and still people will talk about Federer/Nadal before him.

[@shaikshahbaz120]

i knew Federer won the match, still feeling nervous while watching this

[@flyforce16]

I remember watching this... a great job saving the match points, but he never should have been in that position to begin with IMO. His play was so inconsistent this match.

[@TheRafaelBond]

he wasnt inconsistent, he was consistently terrible and dragged himself out of it. Amazing.

[@superbzero]

He also struggled with Millman the previous round

[@json_bourne3812]

I mean this was when he was clearly already having some issues moving like usual due to his knee at the time. Impressive play to stay in it, not many other's playing styles would allow that

[@JacenSolo0]

he was almost 40 my guy give him some slack 😭

[@masters.1000]

Of course... He was injured.

[@francescocipriani8888]

That’s incredible how he is able to save multiple match point but at the same time he is able to lose having multiple match points

[@victorhumphrey131]

I'd say everyone has their chances and given the competitive nature of tennis, sometimes one little shot not well hit enough means an ultimate loss. Everyone chokes.

[@karvis028]

Saving 7 match points in a set is something incredible. Federer was not at his peak, else this situation would not have occurred

[@darklighter064]

This is why his name is Roger GOAT Federer

[@sivathiampak4597]

Roger Federer forever 🎾❤️🎾

[@jonathanselwyn4572]

In terms of pure skill, he is the greatest player to ever play the game no doubt.

[@abhishekpalav1358]

Greatest ever to play the game...

[@bukhtiarshah9843]

Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤

[@masters.1000]

Roger at 38 in one leg made it to semis of a Grand Slam. That speaks volumes of the quality of the tour.

[@lucianopecoraro9352]

That speaks volumes of the quality of Federer

[@masters.1000]

@@lucianopecoraro9352 Yes, but if he's playing at 50% or less of his best years and makes the same results, then there's something wrong with the rest.

[@ralfygomesmoreto3128]

Sensational 😃🎾❤

[@williams3631]

Listen people, he's retired. Give it a rest, will you. Look at your own life, and assess that.

[@akohsagames]

"Tennis" acclaims FEDERER and says its Federer who makes me Celestial, and Its not me anymore But its ROGER FEDERER Forever" ROGER FEDERER is "THE PLAY" of that 'KIND'.

[@RomanDobs]

Great match I was kind of cheering for Sandgren to do well but then Federers mastery overwhelmed the senses

[@Andyc18]

I'm really going to miss this man 😞

[@peterenis4170]

Playing Tennis with Tennys 👍

[@orrissonpereira1070]

I realize in 2020, his level was falling off steeply from 2019. He was having to be competitive with players whom he could play blind just the previous year.

[@15Stratos]

What 2020?He only played 6 matches😅

[@humbertoedmundovelascomend6155]

Estaba lesionado y nunca se pudo recuperar de la rodilla qué ya en este momento está retirado

[@vintageaveee]

💔😢 Sure gonna miss seeing his game! The style from the way he serves😍 to how he hits the ball on the forehand😍, backhand😍 & slice 🔥😍 to the perfect movement. ^_^ Guess at least I have re-runs! 🤷‍♂️ :) Imagine if his knee would have completed Healed!😩😩😩 I think he could have pulled a 2017 again, no doubt in my mind. 😁 😌

[@XxAshelyXxGaming]

Federer is old, so being able to play at this standard is impressive

[@tennis1690]

The Millman match was also unreal

[@polz8]

If I remember correctly, when I woke up in hospital, the cardiologist said I had the first known case of 7 simultaneous heart attacks.

[@tonyspoetry]

He was something special. If novak and Rafael weren't around he'd hav around 60 grand drams ha

[@michielpoortvliet3003]

I remember this match so well i feit the pain of tenys. After this match i felt like something broke tenys' spirit

[@theochemnerd]

Got to be the BIGGEST GS choke you’ll ever see.

When Federer refuses to get beaten by tennis itself

[@CotiGarcia670]

This was a career destroying loss for Sandgren. Poor guy. Honestly would've preferred Sandgren to have won this match, as this was the beginning of Federer's three year long absence from the game.

[@sasook]

This was a career destroying match for Fed too tbh, given that this match sealed his injury problems he developed in the Millman match. Even Djokovic said in the next match that Fed’s movement was very hampered.

[@lucasmagnet4859]

This was so great

[@CotiGarcia670]

@@lucasmagnet4859 It was a great match but with an unfitting result, but that's the nature of sports sometimes.

I'm just realising how crazy it would have been to see sandgren in a grand slam semi final

Yes, but it would have been good for Tennys!

[@Knickerboxer]

Feel bad for Sandgren cause it feels lime he never recovered from this loss career wise

[@evanoliver3579]

Possibly the biggest choke in tennis ever 💀💀💀

[@TheBlackopsbeast360]

You can definitely see a lack of power on the backhand

[@benb5916]

You guys do realise that this was the last tournament before Rog decided to undergo knee surgery ? It’s a miracle what kind of tennis he was still able to put on including the first set against Novak in the semis. Of course, now we know it was the beginning of the end as clearly his body would not allow him to come back afterwards. At the Australian open 2020, Federer‘s body startet giving serious signals that it had reached its limits.

[@idrisahmed2659]

Wish he had won thst 1set against novak probably could have made the finals

[@benb5916]

@ it would have helped for sure, but he wasn’t fit enough to beat Djokovic on this day. Winning the first set would have made the match more exciting but the result would have been the same.

[@spideyocd]

He was struggling with his movement in this match and resorted to slices and slower amd low shots to force errors and smartly didnt try fancy shots just played percentage tennis and let sandgren make errors. A lot of those serves federer woild be able to return had he not been injured
