The special thing about 2017 Federer is how he finally figured out his backhand and made it a weapon. Prior to that, his backhand was his only weak point. People could no longer go to his backhand for safety because it was sincerely dangerous. 2017 Federer was maxed out in every regard, and one of if not the greatest peaks of any player ever.

[@drfabulous77]

In my 66 years watching/playing tennis, watching Federer that year - for so many reasons - was simply the best.

Very true. Watching Federer come back in 2017 after 6 month hiatus after Wimbledon was surreal. He played at a level and elegance that only exceeded his own prior records, especially that backhand....

I am so glad this video is made for.the last year I’ve been telling all of the people that I played tennis with that as I look back, Federer in 2017 was the most beautiful and best tennis ever played in history. I’m so glad that there is confirmation that many people agree with that.

True, the worst defeats of 2018 were Halle finals vs Coric, Wimbledon vs Anderson and US open vs Millman. Dunno what happened in Cincinatti as loss vs Djokovic was a bit surprising as he played really well, but in the finals it seemed like only 70%..

Roger Federer's 2017 season was a masterclass in tennis excellence, characterized by unparalleled skill, unwavering determination, and sheer brilliance on the court. His achievements during this remarkable year solidified his status as one of the greatest athletes of all time and left an indelible mark on the sport of tennis for generations to come.

[@naveen4830]

Tennis will never see this again. Federers reactions, handskills, footwork, tennis intelligence, placement, angles, spin variation, improvisations only one man on the scene with a two handet BH names Carlos alcaraz has the ability to stun the crowd consistently like Federer did.. Rune i would tell. If he first gains full momentum in his career. Rune too. Sinner is the best right now, but he is like the improved agassi/Berdych type. Magicians this level is rare.

Federer in the 2017 at his best and I think the best of all time. He has shown the greatest display of thecnique, strenght, power and class ever seen on a tennis court. He was unbeatble and unplayable for anyone in that year and in all the years before and after. Better than this, as he did in the 2017 (and the first part of 2018), you can't play tennis.

This is exactly what I always said. Federer never dropped his level,( or like his fanboys like to use as excuses, not in his prime) he was always good but with Nole and Rafa around (with no injuries) he was simply weaker than the other 2. This confirms that with Djokovic out for all 2017 and half of 2018 due to elbow injury and Nadal not being at 100% for whatever (I can't remember) he raised again and won 3 slams in 12 months. Federer was always an amazing player that always played great, but due to the other two he simply couldn't win big titles. That's it. Third best player of all time.

[@meronsohanse]

If Federer is weak then Nadal and Djokovic are weak too because they had to beat a weak old Federer to win grand slams...By your logic Wawrinka was a better player than Federer because he beat Djokovic in grand slams finals in his prime....lol 😅

[@edster0398]

Well he came back against Nadal(who was fully fit) in the Australian open. And I mean Nadal was dominating Fed before this in slams, and went on to keep on having a positive win count against him for the remainder of their matches. Sounds like a comeback to me…..

[@mantaishere]

LOL. You lot are getting boring. Federer must be the only sportsman in the history of sport to be virtually unaffected by anything for much of his career. Meanwhile, Djo has been affected by marital problems, grief, lack of motivation, not having Becker yet, flu, tiredness from SFs that went five sets, playing too many days in a row, wind, sun/heat... And Nadal has been affected by injury x infinity, parents' divorce, knees that prevent(ed) him from getting to low balls, a loss of speed, etc. Meanwhile, Federer was always playing amazing. Always totally fine. Totally unaffected by anything ever. DEFINITELY not age, of course. As for Nadal not being 100%, pfffft hahahaha.

Federer is the greatest of all time. Just look up head to head Federer vs Djokovic when Federer was 30 years old and younger(the prime years) Djokovic only has more grand slams because he's the most flexible player of all time to extend his high level well into his 30's.

Fact : The average pro tennis player in the top 100 is 27 years old. Djokovic hit top 100 when he was 18. The majority of professional tennis players retire at the age of 30. That's another fact..... So if you look at the record of Federer vs Djokovic before the year 2011 when Federer turned 30. Federer completely annihilates Djoker.... 13-6.... LOL!!!! Djokovic had 11 years to try to get a winning record before Federer turned 30 and he just couldn't do it. In tennis that's called dominance when you win 2 out of every 3 times you play someone. What this shows is Djokovic only has a winning record against Federer after Federer has entered retirement age of the vast majority of players. It's called physiology, when youth starts to leave you in such a physically exhausting sport. Novak only surpassed Roger head to head in 2016, when Roger was 34 and Novak was 28...34 years old is an old man in the pros playing someone at 28 in their top prime.....
