The Last Grass Court Title of Roger Federer's Career

Roger Federer won a record 19 grass court titles: 10 at Halle, 8 at Wimbledon and 1 at Stuttgart. In this video we take a look at the story of Federer's last grass court title, which happened at Halle back in 2019. I put the best and most important points and shots from Federer's five matches at the tournament! I hope you enjoy this video, and please leave a like and a comment if you do :)

The way Roger read the game, the touch, the volleys... the greatest genius in tennis history

[@bowiththeflow7123]

And somehow there were 2 players who ended up with more slams than him

[@marcogianni200]

@@bowiththeflow7123 If he didn't retire due to a bad knee, he would on top on the slam count without a doubt.

[@bowiththeflow7123]

@@marcogianni200 if Nadal didn't have all those injuries he would've won close to 30 slams. He's missed so many slams compared to federer and djokovic. At least federer only got seriously hurt at the end of his career. Nadal was constantly out for months during his prime

[@smftrsddvjiou6443]

volleys ? He was actually very bad at volleys.

[@Agent-hh2kk]

If he is a genius why did he wait for his opponent to make a mistake at MP in Wim 19 who is considered the greatest returner of all time and the best grass player bar himself. He thought Novak would rollover and give him the title His approach shot was horrible and didn't even stretch to get the volley. Federer thought he won the match and that was his biggest mistake

[@andreaho]

Look at how Roger moved around the balls and the angles he generated in every attacking shot. Incredibly beautiful playstyle.

[@manganese333]

I remember watching this tournament and Fed winning the championship. I never imagined at the time that it would be his last grass court title. 🥺 Thank you for this, Raz!

[@spideyocd]

His last title should've been wimby 2019 being a perfect end to his grass career with a great double of Halle and Wimbledon

[@manganese333]

[@unowen7591]

People who don’t play tennis have no idea how hard it is to play on grass. The way Roger moves so effortlessly on it is so beautiful to watch. Why he’ll always be GOAT to me and the king of grass

[@andreaho]

He always takes time away from his opponents with his incredible early ball-striking technique. If one never plays at such a supreme level, he has no way of understanding how difficult to make those shots.

[@Mr-pt3yl]

Great performance by the goat

[@atarumoroboshi75]

Last grass court title was in 2003 (first of his career). Since 2004 grass changed in green clay and it began the "London Garros". As pointed out by Roger himself who for 15 years has complained about new very slow surfaces, in particular the grass...the end of Serve & Volley, the end of Wimbledon what a sadness...

[@SaulHudson814]

The sad truth

[@vijayendranvijay4538]

Now seeing players like rafa and novak struggling at 36, roger was 1 point away from winning a GS title at almost 38 where he faced 2 players in 2 consecutive matches who had a total of 30 GS titles...this is what u call the true greatness..Roger should ideally be the strong era player and novak should be the weakest era player..this one example proves it

[@Saskobest]

Federer was the second greatest "old" player of all time, credit should be given its deserved. Novak while having bad results these past 5-6 months is still number 1 and due to recent injuries and struggles of other players he is again in position to return big time so i wouldnt discard him

[@orthopraxis235]

Couldn't help but not notice the "ASSMANN" sponsorship during the Bautista-Agut highlights. Pasted 7 or 8 times around the court. Funny, those Germans. Maybe we have forgotten exactly how perfect Federer's greatness really was. I mean DJok is the goat now, and Rafa has all those French Open titles. I don't think there is a sane person alive who knows tennis that doesn't believe, although Rafa and Djok have more grand slams, that Federer was the most graceful smooth and enjoyable to watch play. We shouldn't forget how perfect his greatness was.

[@rhwing5095]

Grass surface shows how much Fed prefers to slice the BH, and of course it's much more effective on this surface. I'm sure Fed would've loved if there were more than just 3-4 grass tournaments a year! And not even a single 1000...

[@lammie001]

He did set himself up perfectly for Wimbledon didnt he.. Played great at RG that helped him drive the ball and then this. But… too bad

[@piperpritchard143]

From the highlights, I think there was only one set where he looked like Federer of old and that was the last set against Goffin in the final. This is way past peak Federer here, probably one of his most least impressive Title wins but at the end of the day it's still one of his 103.

[@Kawal-kx7ps]

He shouldn’t have lost the US open 2009 final and Wimbledon 2019 final, two grand slams he could have easily added to his tally

[@ooops372]

Not to forget: Federer 19810808 was 37,6 then. And the following Wimbledon Final was something to reach. Nadal 19860603 now at 37,9 gave a less dominant impression in Rome and the win of RG would be a huge surprise, and Djokovic 19870522 at 37,0 all of a sudden seems to have lost his magic, too, although he has a marvellous physical appearance. I guess he will not reach the GS 25 (which after the US Open 2023 still looked so easy to be made by him); the field of others (Sinn/Medv/Alca) is too strong.

[@phamnhat2925]

Don't forget that Federer reached Wimbledon Final after reaching French Open Semifinal too. We can be seen as picking an arbitrary age but it's pretty clear that while Federer had to contest with the younger Nadal & Djokovic at slams, there was a gap of 3 generations worth of players (15 years) who did not mount any consistent challenge to N&D in the GS events.

The real rivalry in tennis is Djokovic vs Fed on Grass and Hardcourts. In clay it's obvious that there's no rivalry but total dominance from Nadal... The first years Fed vs Nadal were also a good rivalry. But Nadal-Djokovic is not really a rivalry, more like a mutual humilliation on their different favourite surfaces...

Hey man, I just went through every serve Federer had in that final - no 230 kph serve to be found. Highest one was 218 kph, then 215 kph. One missed serve clocked 220 kph. Might make a video on that

@@RazOls Wow Thank you Raz for taking the time to do that. Looks like Wikipedia is wrong. 218 kph must be his fastest. Although a 220 kph fault is pretty fast too
