The Week Roger Federer Made History at 37!

[@alexanderwinzer2602]

Roger feder produced so much elegance on the court. That will be forever be remembered

[@waqaschaudhry6481]

No one in the history of sport made tennis look so easy and pleasing to the eye. He made tennis look so watchable with his aggressive style. We miss you Roger

[@iguarni]

a genius. Period

[@usaneebeilles9510]

How I missed him on court. Wish him good health. Successful in his new role, and a happiness.

[@cjever6625]

Shows how good Federer was in 2019. Injury-free and the movement was so exceptional especially when he runs around to his forehand side. Unfortunately he could not sustain it for another year and the pandemic hit. Federer's last titles and finals were also his firsts upon going to the top 20 years ago. Basel, Dubai, Miami, Wimbledon.

[@twinwankel]

He might still be playing now if he had competent knee surgeons. Unfortunately, he relied on the doctors in his own country while there were better doctors elsewhere. He had multiple surgeries all on the same condition. Got a second opinion in the UK after he retired. Too late.

[@alexandermallinckrodt2847]

@@twinwankelsilly comment. Federer had his first meniscus surgery in 2016 when they opted to trim the meniscus. That was the best treatment available at the time and after that he was on borrowed time. If you continue at the same intensity with a trimmed meniscus the issue will come back. Technology and medicine has advanced a lot in the past 8 years. However Switzerland was, and remains, the world leader in orthopaedic surgery.

The MJ of tennis. The true GOAT

[@soumadippatra912]

Only Cincinnati and Shanghai courts are fast like it.

[@initialize21]

Yep. And sure enough, those are the the most exciting hard court tournaments to watch

[@scottwarren4998]

And why not always have a court that is neither fast nor slow? that would be fair for all players.

[@bobomber]

​@@scottwarren4998I used to think the same way, but the truth is that having a variety of surfaces makes the game more varied and interesting and the results less predictable, and makes the players have to adapt instead of always employing the same strategies. If we were going to have something like standardized playing conditions for long stretches, I would say they need to be low bouncing enough to incentivize players to attack and go to net, but without having the serve become too dominant.

Atp finals are much faster lol

what about atp finals?

How much I miss him 😢

[@paologalliani4172]

One of the greatest I think some players like Borg Jimmy Connors MacEnroe are milestones in tennis, Federer is one of them

[@sanjaymurali24]

It took him 6 years from 2001-2007 to get to 50 titles and 12 years to get to another 50 titles😢

[@Awildjaapappeared]

True meaning of 'prime'

[@blistering2900]

Because after 2012 he was injured and played less events and was not the same calibre of his primeself.

[@oldieSplit]

​@@blistering2900injured in soul by nole and rafa😂

[@jimmychan9582]

And the 6 years is pretty much the age difference between Fed and Djok & Nadal, which means he's always at the back foot when competing against them as they prime. But I guess it's always too hard for Djok fans to understand

[@IndineraFallz]

Weak era vs strong era

[@fretstain]

I wonder what Verdasco said to him at the net

[@alburaq3290]

Tsitsipas backhand was so much better in 2019. You'd have hoped he'd improve it in 4 years but it's just a lot worse now in 2024.

[@wosjwixjns]

[@lawrence1318]

His winning 100 titles at age 37 was not any making of history at all. Connors won 100 titles by age 31, and still holds the record at 109 titles. And Connors started later than Federer and didn't have a coach. So he won his titles about 50% faster than Federer, which is just incredible. How soon people forget.

[@yani-fl4dm]

Don't be stupid. In that time WAS LOT MORE EASY TO WIN n Connors in his last years just played local or 250 tournements with low standard players...

[@lawrence1318]

[@abdelchenkov7434]

why he couldn't play like this against tsitsi in the AO19 he could do much better there

[@mattjagar6324]

Super slow court and different bounce. low and fast suits Federers style of swing. Slow and high bounce suits nadal and Novak can play on any at a high level.

Pancho Gonzales made history in 1971, when he won at the age of 43 years against Jimmy Connors the final in Los Angeles in three sets 3:6 6:3 6:3.

[@terrenceolivido741]

Roger Federer could have played better - of course - but there is no other player in history that second after second you feel embarassed by the portent of a specific shot that you leaves you feeling stupid with a superlative. it has happened so many times you want to say " yeah ..., there is another " Roger " ... When comparing his serve, backhand, volley etc etc - it is hard to say any player in history is better at one of his strokes. Why ? because he surpasses them in precision and consistency. he was the first player to consistently hit the LINES in his shots. later it seemed he was shooting for the outer-half of the lines. it really would be horrible to compare him to any other player . just leave him in his own space.

[@roybatty-]

Of the big three, Roger is last.

[@iseeyou4405]

Of the big one, Roger is it. The other two spend twenty years of their lives trying to be him. Sad fact.

Not all Masters. No Hamburg despite it was there since 2003-2008. Also "Olympics" was just best of 3 set RG with many of the top players not playing. Novak also did not break all records. Examples: no calendar slam, not most RGs, USO, or Wimbledons.
