In 2014, Federer could have won both the Wimbledon and US Open. He was so good. Just let the WIMBY final against djokovic slip away.. and then was clueless against Cilic in the Semis at US open. :(
6:02 Federer’s second shot here is a perfect example of what makes him a genius. Technically, he’s in no-man’s land hitting a half volley short ball (but not a drop shot), knowing that the opponent’s awkward angle on it will make for an easy finishing volley. No-one else does this,
5:40 Granollers is more or less in control of the point, and that shank was not a sitter by any means. But Federer sees something different; he sees his prey look away for a second, and instinct tells him to pounce. One second you're in a neutral rally with him, the next second he's charging in for the kill. Make one wrong move against Federer, and you're toast.
To the opponent, Federer is not just a man, or a tennis player. He is something more. He is a predator, assessing your every move with morbid intent. He is a terrible thought, just the mere notion of it striking fear in the heart of the opponent. He is an ethereal being, seemingly in multiple places at the same time. He is deadly retribution for the opponent's imperfections, no matter how small. He is terror personified. He is..... *Roger Federer.*
Granollers plays a fantastic first set and breaks Fed twice to win the set 6-4.... Feds finds another gear early in the 2nd and makes and exceptionally good professional look like he should be in the junior draw...
It is just wow.. Granollers didn’t play bad, but Federer just someone else after the first set, He just lifted his Gameplay and gave completely different performance since the 2nd set..
Pretty sure this was the game I was at. There was a freak storm after the first set and a break of several hours. Roger obviously went away and got his mojo back.
quite frankly., federer is an insane player but i think he would be even better if approcahing the net more often . would have won wimbledon this year for sure. If he was equipped a serve like Sampras had, he would be unstoppable on all surfaces
That’s not a microphone, that’s a radar gun to measure shot speed. It’s been a thing since the early 2000’s dude. The microphones are at each end (the top and bottom) of the court, not the sides.
Once Federer retires players gonna get their respect, wtf is this shit, everyone is literally silent when Granollers scores a point while whenever Federer farts and the whole stadium stinks because of it everyone is happy and applauds as crazy and wants to sniff it
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.

It's scary how Federer's game escalated (adapted) as the match went on! This is his best GS outfit, imo.
Can't agree with you more
@MUFC soccer is a pussy sport
@MUFC no one cares
Its the kind of things djokovic does nowadays

You read my mind. That's exactly what I said
@MUFC You keep repeating the same crap. Boring...
@MUFC no one cares
Toute les panoplies de jeu qui l’a sorti Roger le bonheur de voir sa
Incredible First set of marci 🔥

Well said
granoller's serve reminds me of a cat begging for food
Thats funny!

Amazing 🤩
MASTER CLASS

How do you _lose_ the first set, then win the next three 6:1, 6:1, 6:1?
Pretty sure this was the game I was at. There was a freak storm after the first set and a break of several hours. Roger obviously went away and got his mojo back.
Cuz he's the GOAT

side_ spin Feds is one of the better servers in tennis
Well actually his serve is not far behind Sampras'...The net skills were not as good as Pete though (even if federer is a master of the net)
someone didn't saw roland garros 2008 final, fedrer tried that and got passed 90% of the time
when Fed really turned it on ...wow.he is scary good..I mean a lot beyond that
Love this outfit!
Federer playing at a major and the stands are empty?
That's what I noticed as well.. Weird
sometimes is the first event of the evening, most of regular citizens are leaving the work or on commute to the stadium hehehe
I remember this match had a rain delay initially so the starting time of match was delayed. This put ticket holders in a confusion
What’s up with dudes serve 😅
3:47 the shot that has killed Roger over the years. Leaning back with topspin drops it short. This was always a problem against Djokovic.
I wonder if the guy sitting behind the umpire chair and wawing microphone left-right gets payed, seems like highly complex job..
That’s not a microphone, that’s a radar gun to measure shot speed. It’s been a thing since the early 2000’s dude. The microphones are at each end (the top and bottom) of the court, not the sides.
why is marc sending them all down the centre. Very defensive and gives the attack to fed no?
that will be 2% of this year's earnings for tuition, Granollers...
Гранольес умно играл, но ярость Федерера после первого сета разорвала его в клочья. 3 гейма взял в трех сетах, мама мия🤦♂️
One biased crowd, that's for sure haha. Just listen to the applause for each player!
One is Federer, one is Granollers. What did you expect?
You don’t have favorites huh?
Quando vinci il primo set a Federer e lo fai incazzare...
Once Federer retires players gonna get their respect, wtf is this shit, everyone is literally silent when Granollers scores a point while whenever Federer farts and the whole stadium stinks because of it everyone is happy and applauds as crazy and wants to sniff it
One player hitting all balls in the centre and other player playing fantastic shots in all areas of court
Federer destroyed Granolier brutal macht
punk Granollers (judging by his style of play) woke the sleeping giant...
Grano quién? Chaleeee
This is 2015
No, it´s not.
www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/sep/01/roger-federer-marcel-granollers-us-open
Lol they even show the year in the video when they bring up the score 8:15.
You guys are fools
Umm, you're the fool that thought it was 2015 when it's clearly says 2014 in the video.
No you're a fool
