Roger Federer vs. Lleyton Hewitt Full Match | 2005 US Open Semfinal

[@guillefull5400]

How I miss the 2000s. The varied quality of tennis players (Hewitt, Roger, Nalbandian, Davydenko, Roddick, Safin, etc) and Federer at a supreme level. Today there are very few tennis players who match that level of that time.

[@gokulee501]

Just look at how fast the courts were, Sunshine double this year slow AF no wonder Medvedev and others are complaining

[@travisbickle5279]

many federer fans really believe this kind from coment

[@crocr]

@@travisbickle5279 because there's a lot of truth to it. Next gens after Nadal and Djokovic have all been disappointing.

lol

They should bring the pace back to the courts

[@Morlich209]

hewitt played as well as he possibly could in sets 2 and 3 and still only won one of them.

Thank you US OPEN!❤🎉

Resembles an updated version of some Sampras/Chang matches. Hewitt was basically a better Chang. He had many strengths, the only deficiency being insufficient power. What's often not mentioned - an underrated part of his game - is his volley. Hewitt has shown finesse at the net. One of the fastest players ever. As for Roger, brilliant though he was, one could see even here how prime Nadal and Djokovic would have taken advantage of his loopy backhand shot, the ball frequently landing in the middle of the court.

People have almost forgotten nowadays how superior Federer was in the early/mid 2000's!

[@TheRafaelBond]

No one has

[@unowen7591]

Literally no one has forgotten it.

[@travisbickle5279]

hewitt wooow what a strong player and then in the final the 35 years old agassi and then bagdatis by the next grandslam final, wooooow What a strong competition from 2004-2007

[@nonody8125]

Certainly better than the 2018-22 competition. Atleast it had a healthy Nadal. Now a days ..... Tommy Paul , Rudd, Kyrgios , Noorie ..... Going in Slams SF, Finals ...... And look at the guy like Zverev ..... Who won only 1 match against a top 10 payer in his entire career till date and has been ranked in Top 10 for the last 5 years. Djokovic is the major benefactor of this weak era ...... Look at his grass competition.

[@nonody8125]

Djokovic's entire Wimbledon legacy is against 33+ Federer. The guy barely defeated even a 38 year old Federer by luck.

@@nonody8125 DJOKOVIC PRIME WAS 2011-2016 AND PRIME NADAL and this version from federer were defenetly better then roddick or phillipousis from 2003-2007. I MEAN even babyy djokovic has more succes from 2003-2008 then prime roddick,hewitt and safin from 2003-2008 and that when even novak dont plays pro tennis from 2003-2004:)

[@mihaidaneliuc5690]

35 year old Agassi reaching a slam final is weak, but mid 30's Djokodal winning every slam is strong era stuff, right? And let's not even talk about guys like Med and Tsitsipas who can't even take sets off mid 30's Djokovic in AO Fs.
