It's like he forgets and resorts to the crosscourt rally with the backhand and gets humiliated... How many matches has he lost this way when he has to overcompensate with his forehand and makes the error?

[@lizzyw8]

Nadal had a gruelling four hour match against Djokovic and Federer was as fresh as a daisy and injury free . This isn’t taking anything away from what a great player Federer is, but a fit and fresh Nadal would have beat him !

[@phillyortho]

Nadal doesn't need to be fresh and fit to play well. Just look at the 2009 Aussie Open. This was the match where Fed changed his strategy against Nadal. Took a risk and changed direction of the ball to the backhand to not allow Rafa to run around and direct the point with his forehand. Attack the backhand to open up the court and then hit hard inside out forehands into open court to get Rafa in trouble. He went down the line with his backhand a lot which is a riskier shot and stopped slicing on the backhand. He's been using the strategy now and has a 6 match win streak vs Nadal now. Tbf, a lot of time during a Rafa or Djokovic match is just ball bouncing before the serve.

[@kevinjoel8919]

I didn't realize the players he had to go through that tournament to win the title were so tough. Soderling, Blake, Roddick, Delpo, and Nadal. Yikes. Makes me realize even more how impressive that victory was.

[@robertofenloch9595]

Blake and Roddick were horrendous on clay, Soderling didn't find a career until the French Open a few weeks later, and DelPo didn't find a career until the US Open a few months later. So the victory isn't even nearly as incredible as it sounds. Also, I don't believe 2008 & 2009 were close to being his worst. Statistically speaking, 2013-2016 were his worst, having not won a slam between 2012 Wimbledon and 2017 AO, missing half the year in 2016, and won only 3 Masters titles during that span, even allowing Andy Murray to get to world #1. Heck, he only won 1 title period in 2013; 2013 being one of his worst ever years. In 2013, he lost to Murray at AO (which ironically was funny because Federer was the reason Murray doesn't own 3 of the 4 slams, and he finally beats Fed down under and still loses in the final), Benneteau at Rotterdam, Berdych at Dubai after having match points, Nadal at Indian Wells, Nishikori at Madrid, Nadal at Rome, Tsonga at the FO, Stakhovsky at Wimbledon (I also believe this was the year both Nadal and Federer lost in the first 3 days), Delbonis at Hamburg, Brands at Gstaad (yes, he lost to frickin' Daniel Brands in two easy sets), Nadal at Cincinnati, ROBREDO!!!! at the US Open, Monfils at Shanghai, DelPo at Basel, Djokovic at Paris, and Djokovic & Nadal at the ATP Finals. He played much better the following two years, but even then, his losses included Hewitt, Nishikori, Wawrinka, Chardy, Gulbis, Raonic, Seppi, Ramos-Vinolas, Kyrgios, Isner, and Tsonga and a horrifically played loss to Cilic at the US Open.

2009 wasn't easy for Roger tho, a lot of very tough matches that he could've lost. Match against Haas at RG should've lost but fought brilliantly to come back. Match against Roddick in Wimby final Roddick was so close to winning and imo was playing the more inspired tennis, but Federer scraped the win. 2009 could've been a tough year for Federer, had those matches not gone his way.

[@mihaidaneliuc5690]

At the same time, Federer lost matches that should have gone his way like Rafa at the AO and Delpo at the USO. So it evens out. Basically, as amusing as it sounds, in 2009 Federer lost the slams he should have won and won the slams he should have lost.

[@RainMaker0602]

2008 probably competitively worst 2013 statistically worst 2016 morally and physically worst

[@nguyenhuy6491]

Actually 2008 was the worst because before 2008 he knows nothing but back to back victories at Grand Slam except the French Open and had 12 Slams at the age of 26, something literally no one has ever achieved before. When everyone was a one surface player Fed was a dominating force and favorite even on clay if not for Nadal brilliance on clay. But in 2008 he literally lost all 2 GS finals and only won against a young Murray on the rise. He then lost 2009 final to Nadal again and that was the turning point where his mentality finally broke when he smashed the racquet and made numerous unforced errors. He then gained back some confidence after winning the FO and Wimbledon and Australian Open final before the expected rise of Djokovic- Nadal and Murray for the next couple of years except for the 2012 title. He managed to several semis and finals but still could not hold his own against the young, dominant and consistent forms of Nadal and Djokovic. Sure he played badly in, 2011, 2013 and 2016 but that was when Djokovic and Nadal were at the peak of their tennis but 2008 was the turning point of his career when he clearly lost his confidence and consistency to win games or for even comeback when he was behind. That is up until 2017 continuing to the present time lol

[@momentumstocks3493]

@GTS I guess when you are Federer...that's bad? He won the USA Open that year didn't he? I think what they meant was he lost three finals to Rafa FO,Wimby 2008 Aussie 2009. So it really liked like a big power shift had occurred. Let's face it Roger did not expect to win the F.O. ever...Then Soderling gave him his wish! Had Rafa have stayed fit he would have won the F.O. and Wimby 2009 I think. Was that the year Del Potro beat Roger in the USO? He has never won the USO since 2008??? Amazing!

[@cindygirlification]

Federer and Laver were the only open era players who could regularly win on fast and slow courts . Once they got rid of fast courts and fast balls defensive players would dominate.

5:10 that kid kinda ruined the moment for Nadal imo

You do know that Rafa was gassed out after playing a 4 hour classic

Yes it does have a big impact. Remember Olympic final Roger vs Murray. At Wimby. Murray destroyed Roger....Why? He was knackered.

Not to excuse Nadal but he came from a 4 hour long excruciating match against Novak who back then was playing great. If you play tennis you'd know how taxing it is to play a hard match the day before vs playing an easy/short two setter... Also, Madrid is the worst clay tournament for Nadal because it's 800 meters above sea level and turns into the fastest clay court (they tried everything there to slow down the court for Nadal...) That being said, Federer played great and deserved the win.

Rafa was gassed after the long semi final with Djokovic. Good match from Fed but Rafa was nowhere near his best here.
