He Broke Federer's Record, So Roger Took his SOUL!

Hope you enjoy today's video, Don't forger to DROP A LIKE For More Original Tennis content!
One of the most BRUTAL performances in Roger Federer's entire career, making his opponent look like a complete amateur.
This was also the man who pulled off a miracle and beat Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros for the first time.

[@mertkalender1306]

As a Rafa fan since years, it has always been amazing for me to watch how Roger effortlessly handled hard-hitters. They were always a big threat for Rafa due to their ability of taking the ball early and take out the time needed for Rafa to generate his spin. But when they were against Roger, they were most of the time helpless. Roger could generate their stroke power with much less effort and much more elegance, hit way better volleys to back-up this offensive type of game, and hit serves as fast as players who are 10-15 cm taller than him. Roger was a tennis anomaly. He could only be matched by another anomaly. Their names were Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. And they gave us the golden age of tennis.

[@AC.Indiact]

Absolutely. That’s why so many players playing against Roger/Rafa/Novak in that era commented on the lines of - They thought they had a chance against Novak or Rafa for most part. They could keep it close. But when Roger was in full flow, they absolutely were made to look like Amateurs. Recently, Kyrgios and Dimitrov said the same thing. Roger just made them look “Stupid”. He was just a freakish athlete and tennis is so much poorer without him now.

I remember watching this thinking it would be a tough match up for Roger considering what went down at RG. I was so wrong 😂

They played at the US Open after RG, before this. Roger won 64 64 75

the court surface at Shanghai seems fast.. on a fast surface hard hitters are always going to be a bad match up against Federer Could be the reason why Federer always plays at Shanghai year after year..

[@santirf1619]

@@wgllgw actually Federer always destroyed hard hitters when he was young, no matter the surface. Same with serve bots. It started to get complicated for him in his late years when his movement and reflexes started to decrease.

the surface has something with it too.

Soderling could have been really good, but was forced to retire way too soon. He played his last match at age 26. Soderling always struggled against players who were sound at returning.

Soderling was a great tennis player. His style was simple but flawless, he did the simple things very well which is why he managed to achieve so much in his short time on tour. Very sad about his illness

[@FastEddy1959]

I’m sorry for what happened, but to say his game was flawless? In this match, at least, his backhand seemed very vulnerable. Of course some of that was probably his opponent.

[@reyong4217]

Federer is much better than anyone. Age is just catching up. And now the players younger and stronger. Go back when Federer was 20 years old or so, these players can't touch him.

[@pencilcheck]

because Federer is too strong, people think he is in weak era lol

[@celinegarcia4158]

Hahaha what a cheeky title for a video! And yet you're so right. Soderling limped away from 3 losses he might as well have lost his soul. We've seen other Swedish players Borg, Edberg, Norman..& many others all mostly cool & collected. But Soderling had this "in your face" attitude. Didn't win him points. And in Spain he is not at all liked. It is important for a player to be a good sport no matter what so you neither get spanked nor lose your soul on court. Well said Wivo! Thanks lots.

[@ericfaulk2204]

Soderling wasn't moving too well, because of his all-carb diet. You know, after Federer fed him two breadsticks.

[@djpete2009]

Interesting analysis. Only problem is that you left out many other relevant aspects such as 2017 season where he beat Rafa 4 times. including the AO. Do you know where Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Soon to be Ronaldo and Messi are? Time makes mockery of us all. Did you see how Nadal was destroyed yesterday at RG? His supposedly best surface. First round knockout in 3 straight sets. Even if it were toothpicks or pencils that he was selling, instead of tennis shoes, he is a billionaire. If you think its easy then get any of the top 10 to sell their own wares.
