When Peak Federer BAGELED His NIGHTMARE Opponent!

[@pikeflowed]

Federer had many amazing shots in his armoury, but his backhand really was a deadly weapon. i feel so lucky to have lived during this Golden era of Tennis !

[@nicolaswhitehouse3894]

Back then in his prime, Federer really wielded a hammer instead of a racket. Balls he was hitting seemed so much heavier than his latter part of his career, particularly on that forehand side.

[@SHVideografie]

Absolutely, he was hitting bombs back then. I think it's because his fh swing was a bit bigger, he hit it slightly flatter and deeper. Later on his fh swing became smaller and more 'wristy'. I think this change cost him a couple of slams later in his career. But perhaps this is not the main cause and he changed his stringtension or something. Dunno.

[@wxsty]

@@SHVideografie maybe his back could no longer handle the forehand swing in the second half of his career.

[@lsb9073]

Racquet head change in 2014/15 gave him more power on his bh, at the cost of control & power on his fh. Not sure why that would be but we all saw it. He had back issues his whole career so dont think that was a factor as he grew older. And anyway that primarily affected his serve.

[@earl8295]

@@lsb9073 The courts got slower too, look at australian open 2007 and 2008. US Open 2014 and 2015, before courts slow down Joker already have problems against Roger even at his peak. WImbledon too, that grass is really no longer the grass we see back in the early 20s.

[@smacko4192]

Another things is too is tennis balls got alot heavier and courts slower so his four hands would seem alot less potent

[@RaphzenYT]

Love the Federer content! Keep it going!

[@cbmtrx]

His 2005 season was 81-4-95.1%, the third highest in the open era.

[@felixy23]

great year for RF (92-5)!!! prime Nalbandian was a monster back then ... great talent with no luck when meeting RF. fast surfaces is really entertaining i don't know why they slowed it down? to stop RF's dominance? that's pretty much i can see.

[@NamTran-xc2ip]

Do not agree about the 'no luck' you are talking about. Nalbandian was getting humiliated by unseeded players and regularly not even in the top 10. He simply lacks work ethics.

[@sunmanyi3265]

​@@NamTran-xc2ip At the 2007 Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid, also known as the ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid: Quarterfinals: Nalbandian beat Rafael Nadal, the world's second-ranked player, 6-1, 6-2 Semifinals: Nalbandian beat Novak Djokovic, the world's third-ranked player, 6-4, 7-6 (4) Final: Nalbandian beat Roger Federer, the defending champion and world's number-one player, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 Nalbandian is the only player to ever beat all three members of the "Big Three" in the same tournament.

[@sunmanyi3265]

The match in this video was in 2006. But a year later, Nalbandian came back with a revenge meeting Roger in the final. He not only beat Roger in the final, on his way to the final...at the 2007 Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid, also known as the ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid: Nalbandian beat Rafael Nadal, the world's second-ranked player, 6-1, 6-2 in the Quarterfinals. Then in the Semifinals, Nalbandian went on and beat Novak Djokovic, the world's third-ranked player, 6-4, 7-6 (4) Followed by the grand finale, Nalbandian beat Roger Federer, the defending champion and world's number-one player, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. So the "nightmare" had turned into one sweet revenge from the defeat he received from "boss" Roger the year before. Nalbandian is the only player to ever beat all three members of the "Big Three" in the same tournament!

[@juliasilva-ef9mq]

Do you have Federer's match against Ginepri from Madrid 2006? Thanks.

[@RazOls]

Coming a video on that entire tournament :)

[@bukhtiarshah9843]

Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤

[@bukhtiarshah9843]

Raz Ols love you so much ❤❤❤

[@vbittencourt]

Nalbandian got his revenge the next year in this same court. He beat Federer, Nadal and Djokovic to get the title. And the next week beat Federer and Nadal again to win Paris.

[@RazOls]

Good revenge to say the least. Incredible level by Nalbandian. He only lacked a good serve to be Slam contender

[@masters.1000]

@@RazOls Mentality. He didn't gave a crap about it.

[@jazzburks9974]

This is an example of why prime Federer is 🐐. Attacking all court tennis! Line licking shots! Poetic movement! Records may come and go. The evidence is here forever !

[@Logan00710]

@@RazOls not only serve his forehand tends to crak under pressure and make too many unforces errors with that shot, this weakness was exploited by many baseliners players like djokovic or murray, not mention roger too

[@RealisticAndTrue]

Nothing much you can do against Federer back then, begels left and right, insane game with no weaknesses, unless you are named Nadal and on clay, nothing much you could do, even Nadal got begeled on clay by this man, and on every other surffice as well

[@sunmanyi3265]

Speaking of bagels, the highest bagels served is Connors 180, followed by Lendl - 148. Whereas the top three legends : Nadal -119 (being bageled-15 times) Djokovic - 110 (being bageled 12 times) Federer - 95 (being bageled 5 times, the last time was in 2021 Wimbledon by Hurcazs, his last match of his career)

[@RealisticAndTrue]

@sunmanyi3265 Federer getting begeled in 2021 his knee was done he could not move properly and he was 40 years old. I watched that match, and what i respect from Federer, he NEVER retired from a match even when he could have in that match, he finnished the match.

[@sunmanyi3265]

Well his sweet victory ended with his bitter defeat (bageled) in his last match (Wimbledon) at the end of his career.

Federer vs Nadal

[@АндрейХ-п6и]

Federer against 40/15 on match ball 😭😭

[@nicolaswhitehouse3894]

Federer Nadal or Djokovic. But it’s not an interesting pic for me. To spice it up, I really like Federer-Potro, Federer-Murray as well. Federer-Nalbandian like in this video was a good one as well.

[@nikosofidemporas]

​@@АндрейХ-п6иtoxic kid why don't you watch Novak highlights? Are you not entertained enough?

[@CJTamino10]

Federer - Nadal for sure

[@cbrend22]

Nightmare?? He was 15-10 against Nadal on non clay surfaces( grass, carpet, acrylic, artificial grass, concrete, asphalt, hybrid, etc). Moreover, he lost of he first 8 ( only 2 on clay) before he figured him out. After that, he was 14-5 on anything but clay.

[@RazOls]

Maybe you should watch the video before you decide to write.
