Classic Tennis Highlights: Roger Federer Wins Indian Wells & Miami 2017!

I still come back to this video from time to time. 2017 Federer during AO, Sunshine double and Wimbledon was arguably his highest level. He finally learned how not to allow Nadal to harass his backhand and the tables turned - 5 consecutive wins. Best backhand ever.

[@ramprasanjithreddy4953]

That backhand that year is just unbelievable astonishing !!!

[@mikkokarkkainen2807]

I think every real talent should master the one-handed backhand, or am I mistaken?

To be honest , I've never seen Nadal really look so shocked and helpless against Federer .

[@celestialspartan7977]

Federer beat him 4 out of 4 times in 2017.After that they have not met on HC and now, probably ,never will.Yeah,Nadal does look bewildered here though his performance was better than in IW, that year.

[@springfield03sniper]

2017 and early 2018 was his gift to us. We had been hearing since 2011 that he was too old, behind the times, wrong racquet, weak era, etc. 2017 into 2018, after a knee surgery at 35yrs old, no less, he produced some of his best tennis.

[@erosh747]

Look at the way he moves on the tennis court. The way he dropped volleys, dropshots, backhand , slices. Everything about him is beautiful and graceful. Roger Federer is a beautiful player. It doesn't mean that Nadal and Novak aren't good. But Federer is something else.

[@mlrmlr4919]

What a backhand, what confidence, aggression and power. Also such beautiful tennis it's positively moving to watch.

[@azoleyehirooni11]

Watching this quality of play from Roger is like watching magic! I’m so happy I decided to take the day off and drive 4 and a half hours to watch my all-time favorite player and play an enthralling match against Berdych in Miami! One of my best tennis memories ever!

[@surajl89]

What a season this was for Roger. 5 years on, I still remember what a wonderful year this was with the resurgence of Roger and Rafa. The performance of Roger that whole year was sublime.

[@KH-sn2sj]

[@TheGreyj]

What a superhuman comeback it was in 2017! A dream year…Just incredible to realize now the insane level Fed was playing at…and that backhand! While Fed takes an inevitable exit from the tour, a lot of the 2017 highlights will help us relive his legacy..And not to forget the outfits, Nike outdid itself with such an amazing collection…FedForever

[@imrizzle83]

The level in IW was the best he has played since 2006. It looked like nobody could hang with him. In Miami he was less dominant and those conditions are probably less favourable to him than in the desert but the mental toughness and physical skill was still properly on point. What a great year for him!

[@scottmilburn]

Roger's feel for the game, brilliance and display of raw emotion touches you on a completely different level when compared to Djokovic, Nadal or any of the top players. People often try to rationalise the GOAT - the truth is there is nothing rational about the love for Federer!

[@MMStudios10]

Boomshki! What a piece of commentary!

[@sports4eva115]

[@Molybdaenmornell]

Yes, mental strength/confidence is a fickle thing and I'm not sure it decided the outcome in those matches. It might have made the losses possible, but if a player gets to match points, all explanations for them being bound to lose are mistaken, because a bound-to-lose player never gets that close to winning. Wimbledon 2019 was a few inches from being Federer's. That first serve at 40-15 hit the tape and would very likely have been an ace.
