Federer also complained about the conditions in the early rounds. He always complains, and only goes quiet and turns into a PR machine when he wins something once in a while.
Fitting that Roger won the only event ever on blue clay lol Really wish it worked the first time so we could see it (and other colors) again. Imagine black clay 😶
Mfs really think Nadal wouldn’t adapt to it? Predominantly Fedovic fanboys always diminished Nadal and his ability to adapt to anything and still come out on top lmao. But since he lost to Nando having a 5-2 lead in 3rd set and stating how unsafe this clay was (like other players Roger included) he won’t win it? Yeah right lol
@@sasooknice sample size buddy. It would definitely have way more injuries if hold more. It does actually suck they got rid of it. Federer fanboys would get destroyed by sheer amount of injuries on this blue clay in such a short amount of time but well… it what it is
He was more than a flash in the pan. He made the Wimbledon finals and was in the top 10 for years. He wasn’t a big 3, but you can’t expect that. He shouldn’t be considered at the same level as Bouchard
Roger won this tournament because blue clay was slippery and didn't allow players to play a normal clay-match. This blue clay remebers grass that's why Roger won
That‘s an excuse. As if Federer was already prepared for this kind of a clay tournament? He has not even prepared for grass yet in that year before this tournament. It is the same condition for everyone, so there is not really an advantage or disadvantage. It is not the same as a grass court as well.
@@chumjetza6251 This tournament was dominated by Nadal e djokovic when the clay was still playable, this Blue clay caused numerous fallen and injury. This surface has been really criticised because if It has been good, there would be still today
Creo que Roger no estaba jugando bien, erraba smashings que en general no erra, o no podía cerrar los puntos. Pero un día malo de Roger es más que el mejor día del resto, pasa igual ahora con Carlitos Alcaraz, por suerte, que lindo ver a estos jugadores resolver problemas cuando no están finos. Porque cuando están a full, arrasan
I always keep forgetting Madrid 2012 was the blue clay one. Whenever I see stats showing Roger as Madrid 2012 champ, my initial reaction is “wait, didn’t he have that 2009 RG to 2015 Istanbul clay titles gap?” But then that’s red clay lol Imagine if more tournaments used that blue clay, maybe Rafa vs Roger clay battles would’ve been more interesting haha
Nah... Rafa is still the player to bet against Roger regardless of what surface, simply because Rafa's game as a heavy top spin lefty is a natural counter against Roger's 1h backhand. Rafa already had good win stats against Roger in hard and grass, blue clay isn't going to be any more difficult for him. People often forget that Roger has made it into RG finals multiple times, losing only to Rafa, to how i see, Roger is probably the 2nd best clay player there is, behind Rafa. So its not a surprise he do well on blue clay. He can beat anybody on clay that is not Rafa. Its just that Rafa's natural counter game vs Roger which is amplified on clay made Roger look bad when playing against him.

Madrid 2012, 2R.
This event shows why Federer is GOAT. Nadal and Djokovic lost early and complained a lot about the conditions. Federer just won the the whole thing.
Just determining only by that is really difficult to see the reality.
AGREE
Federer also complained about the conditions in the early rounds. He always complains, and only goes quiet and turns into a PR machine when he wins something once in a while.
The same federer thet start to play at paris only when they removed carpet?

@ivantxu all good, hope the same for you 👍🏿
Always liked Raonic. Class act.
I know they complained about the blue clay, but you can see the ball better.
Bring back the blue clay!!!
Please no xD
*Nadal has entered the chat*
Please bring back Federer!

I love Roger, but this win is more choke of Raonic than great escape
Main reason federer won because he saw raonic couldn't run after drops! Full credit to Fed!
I loved the blue clay. It was so unique and beautiful. Players were just salty they lost so they got rid of it
You are right. Djokovic and Nadal has hissy fits whilst Federer got on with it.
@@incredibleXMan Federer didn’t like blue clay either, he criticized the idea both before and after he won the title.
@@yousifkhalil9655 And yet nobody was actually injured on it. Meanwhile several players were injured in Monte Carlo that year.
@@yousifkhalil9655 Comparable to american green clay which was used in multiple tournaments back in the day.

It's so pretty, like they're running on water
Raonic without sleeve is a beast
Very classy, as usual. Just wonderful to watch. Thanks for the video.
Roger, the only King of the blue clay.
one and only king of blue clay 👑🐐
Magnificent, breathtaking, delightful, thank you!🎾🍾❤️
Indeed a great escape, don’t know how Roger pulled this off, he was all over the place
Blue Clay looked cool
This must’ve been ages ago. Raonic was such a flash in the pan for us Canadians. Same as Eugenie.
He was more than a flash in the pan. He made the Wimbledon finals and was in the top 10 for years. He wasn’t a big 3, but you can’t expect that. He shouldn’t be considered at the same level as Bouchard
@@EPIGOLD I remember his top 25 career lasting like 2 years. Maybe I’m off then.
He had a much much longer peak than Bouchard . This was in early 2010s and raonic reached a master's 1000 final in 2020
@@EPIGOLD I would put it that Bouchard shouldn't be considered at the same level as Raonic!
Raonic was relevant until 2020.

It is the same condition for everyone, so there is not really an advantage or disadvantage. It is not the same as a grass court as well.
Except that his slice, intelligence and stops are on point at crucial times. But that‘s an advantage he always has.

What a match!!!
Blue Clay > Red clay
Weird that Fed chose to play so much serve volley tennis on this unique surface. Such a rare sight
I loved the blue clay.
Nadal and Djoko may have the raw numbers on their side, but they got nothing vs Roger's on the blue clay!!
7:18 gotta be one of the greatest shots i ever seen
I did it once! 😀
@@merorbb yea but was it against a Raonic forehand return tho and not completely on accident 🤣
i want the blue clay… too bad Nadull
hated and Madrid got
rid of it
*Nadal
And more than just Nadal didn't like it.
More than Nadal just hated the blue clay. Djokovic did too if I recall
Djokovic and Nadal were complaining this surface. they know they can't won any title with blue clay 😁
What kind of shoes was Federer putting on?
The only blue clay in the world and only appeared once in our lifetime hahaha. And only federer and williams won this blue clay tournament
And they both won it wearing blue outfits. You can't make this stuff up.
@@pomerlain8924 cool
Really strange and close game, could have easily gone either way.
wtf, Raonic actually played good tennis?
5:20 Luckerer strikes back
Raonics carrer was so short
Raonic choked hard lmao
Clay is not meant to be blue. Unless it’s Play-Doh, that is.
The commentators were clearly going for raonic
how about putting the year on here?
11 años después los tenistas le pegan con muchísima mas intensidad y precisión
Ajjajajaja que estás hablando
baby faced ace bomber Raonic.
Did Milos retire?
This blue clay feels odd and wrong...

Sentiment persistant que Raonic aura pourtant été bien au dessus tennistiquement sur cette partie. Federer a joué laborieusement, en manque de puissance, de recherche de zones. Moins percussif et moins décisif à la volée. Mais son expérience (et elle seule) l'a sauvé.
