And who would’ve thought this would be Fed’s last USO title, after five in a row 🧐

[@dradenhaven1549]

Yeah, he should have really beaten Delpo the year after.

[@badabing8884]

@@dradenhaven1549 just kept going to his forehand and getting burned and didn’t adapt. Then his first serve gradually deserted him and Delpo took control. Sad but yes, he should have finished him in straight sets.

His last uso title? At this time of day, at this time of year,in this part of the country, localised entirely within this video?

[@fahadhamid9017]

Commentator after the match said "Reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated" And we are talking about 2008. To think the man has faced the retirement question in the last 14 years and still keeps coming back against all odds is motivational.

[@flyforce16]

2008 was the first time that retirement talk really started with Fed. It does sound incredulous in hindsight.

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

In the era where's most retired at early 30s, it's gonna be surfacing from time to time. At that time in the last 30ish year, only Roswall, Connors, and Agassi still maintain high competitive level well into mid (or late) 30s.

[@Ivanntu]

I don't know if it was about retirement. More so I would say the discussion was about Federer's decline and whether he was still able to win grand slams.

[@Warren_Flatt]

Federer also made all 4 grand slam finals the following year too. how could anyone question him about retiring in 2008? that's mind boggling

[@jwt-nu3ei]

Because the consensus was that his level had dropped. I remember ACE tennis magazine (now defunct) running an article on it in late 2009 (iirc).

[@hottakes2633]

This is my favorite version of Federer. No f’s given, he absolutely crushed the ball with authority in this tournament. It’s almost like he was taking his anger out this tournament after a frustrating year.

[@user-cn1lp6vz6p]

Very aggressive and eager to win

[@helenivanic1628]

And this was the last US Open title that Roger won. After winning this 5 times in a row. WOW. After Roger here, no one has defended their title the following year at the US Open. Here's the list of winners from 2009: 2009 Del Potro 2010 Nadal 2011 Djokovic 2012 Murray 2013 Nadal 2014 Cilic 2015 Djokovic 2016 Wawrinka 2017 Nadal 2018 Djokovic 2019 Nadal 2020 Thiem 2021 Medvedev 2022 ??????????????? BTW: in the long rivalry between Federer and Nadal. these two have never competed against each other at the US Open. Weird.

[@DonLee1980]

Mind you this was 2008, the year that Federer got Mono, and was lethargic much of the year. It put a big dent into his career with the pressure of Nadal taking Wimbledon from him, and when people started saying how Federer was on his downfall. The fact that he was able to bounce back and win a slam a whole decade later, is astonishing.

[@suvantolas2608]

Up to today, I still think it's a big big big mistake for roger to change his racket from 90 to 97, suggested by many so-called experts. The gap from 2013 to 2016 when Nadal and Djokovic were adding trophies to their collection, Roger choked so many times, the loss to Tsonga in Wimbledon was a big hurt to him, while years before he had totally different forehand.

[@kurtjohnston6620]

Agreed, mayyybe a 92/93, but really he just needed to keep his forehand large enough to command more points. So many times since the 00's he has walked out on court playing smaller from the baseline. Even if having to exert himself more meant he was to finish up earlier - I doubt that way of thinking, he would have had substantially more success and GS titles to be able to retire with enough daylight between him and nadal, djoko, etc.

If I was coaching, Roger, I would tell him to stand further back on returning serve. He’s a little too close for comfort.

[@superfriends835]

I always thought with the court at this speed Federer would have won most times against Nadal had they played each other here 2008-2011. Almost happened but fate intervened each year.

Didn't realise Andy had 2 USO finals. Andy was so impressive then making the Big 3 into the Big 4 with justification. They feared him unlike Warwinka who was a factor but they didn't fear him.

[@davidevans1611]

I think it has always been just the big three, then Andy Murray by himself, and then everyone else. I think to be included with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic he would need more than 3 GS.

[@idontdovarioustasks]

[@edkiely2712]

It was a transgression of world-historical breadth that Roger and Rafa never played each other in a single US Open match, let alone a final! As in 2008, the two almost met on a handful of occasions. The fact that they didn't is not only frustrating, but mathematically annoying! Roger's first US Open was 2000, whereas Rafa's was 2002 I believe, so, the fact that they never once saw each other in the draw is astounding to contemplate. Knowing, like many do, how raucous and electric the New York crowds can be, we were deprived of what, under regular or normal circumstances, would have probably been around 4-6 "matches for the ages!"

[@mahalakshmid8613]

Fed won 18 slams around 30 years age, whereas nadsl, djoko won only around 12 slams in that age. Then 10 to 11 slams, these 2 won after 30 years age, which shows how weakwest the younger generation players were in the period 2015 to 2022. Strongest era emperor - Sampras ( 1990 to 2002), medium era emperor - Roger federer ( year 2002 to year 2013) , the most weakest era - Gods -Nadal, Djoko (years 2013- 2022) .
