Young Roger Federer! The Early Years Of His Historic Career (1998-2003)

[@patrikmarflak6559]

Some of the winners he was able to hit with his one hander on the run in totally defensive position were pure magic. He might not be the GOAT in stats and records but his game style was such a gift to the game. A true legend.

[@andreim.5324]

I miss seeing him play so much... Happy birthday, Roger!

[@Kidgloves1984]

Roger longevity in the sport of tennis is remarkable..never has he retired during a match from injury or fatigue.

[@rockesh123]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend... ladies & gentlemen Roger Federer!!!

[@ahmedkhan-bi8lv]

Most beautiful and stylish athlete ever

[@manuelese8760]

His style was so different than his later years. That's why he's the goat in my eyes, he developed himself to be the most flawless, skillful player ever and made it look so effortless. He was not a baby prodigy like Nadal or Alcaraz

[@masters.1000]

Novak was a prodigy as well.

[@VukAnimation1]

​@@masters.1000Novak wasn't as great as he ended up being when he started out unlike nadal and alcaraz who straight out the gate as teens started dominating

[@masters.1000]

@@VukAnimation1 He was a Masters 1000 champion with 19, made SF of both RG and Wimbledon, and on course of being N3 (could have been N1 if Fedal wasn't there, he was defeated by them at slams).

[@NamTran-xc2ip]

I would not say flawless, he’s also not the only player who developed

[@NamTran-xc2ip]

@@masters.1000still not as good as the 2 spaniards at a young age, only better than Fed

[@ShadeXH]

Wild to see how different the game was when he started to when he ended. Man went through like 3 or 4 different eras/styles. Had to adapt so much.

Great 25-shot rally at 8:35 between Federer and Thomas Johansson from 2001 Miami 4th Round.

Johansson was under-rated and over-rated the same time. If he didn't win the Australian Open, he would of been under-rated but winning the Aus Open makes him over-rated.
