This is the most aggressive version of Federer ever on any surface. His backhand was on fire even though he was 35 years old. Federer backhand played like Wawrinka backhand.
@@dewman7477 oh fk yeah u right, it was delpo, I watched that live on tv how could i forget lmao, yeah that was even worse he had so many missed opportunities in that match and after smashing him in miami
I still come back to this video from time to time. 2017 Federer during AO, Sunshine double and Wimbledon was arguably his highest level. He finally learned how not to allow Nadal to harass his backhand and the tables turned - 5 consecutive wins. Best backhand ever.
I'm here too! God I miss Roger's beautiful aggression. I know we are blessed to have Carlos and Sinner now, but Roger still reaches snapshots of perfection that no one will ever replicate.
Federer beat him 4 out of 4 times in 2017.After that they have not met on HC and now, probably ,never will.Yeah,Nadal does look bewildered here though his performance was better than in IW, that year.
man bat Nadal is out of his prime? He won the both the French Open and the US Open in 2017 quite convincingly and was the world #1. Plus he is 5 years younger than Federer. But he was out of his prime. That makes sense /sarc
2017 and early 2018 was his gift to us. We had been hearing since 2011 that he was too old, behind the times, wrong racquet, weak era, etc. 2017 into 2018, after a knee surgery at 35yrs old, no less, he produced some of his best tennis.
Look at the way he moves on the tennis court. The way he dropped volleys, dropshots, backhand , slices. Everything about him is beautiful and graceful. Roger Federer is a beautiful player. It doesn't mean that Nadal and Novak aren't good. But Federer is something else.
Watching this quality of play from Roger is like watching magic! I’m so happy I decided to take the day off and drive 4 and a half hours to watch my all-time favorite player and play an enthralling match against Berdych in Miami! One of my best tennis memories ever!
I still remember the early part of 2017 like it was yesterday. Roger had this newfound confidence on the BH side and was absolutely rifling it DTL & it had his opponents, mainly Rafa, SHOOKED!
What a season this was for Roger. 5 years on, I still remember what a wonderful year this was with the resurgence of Roger and Rafa. The performance of Roger that whole year was sublime.
I cannot imagine it was fun to play Roger between January and March 2017. His sustained level from the AO through Miami was insane, especially for a 35, nearly 36 year old.
Roger's feel for the game, brilliance and display of raw emotion touches you on a completely different level when compared to Djokovic, Nadal or any of the top players. People often try to rationalise the GOAT - the truth is there is nothing rational about the love for Federer!
The level in IW was the best he has played since 2006. It looked like nobody could hang with him. In Miami he was less dominant and those conditions are probably less favourable to him than in the desert but the mental toughness and physical skill was still properly on point. What a great year for him!
Just realized Federer had a crazy lineup to go through for Miami: Tiafoe (NextGen), Del Potro (US Open Champion), Bautista Agut (Ferrer 2.0), Berdych (long time top 10), Kyrigos (NextGen Star), Nadal (ultimate rival)
What a superhuman comeback it was in 2017! A dream year…Just incredible to realize now the insane level Fed was playing at…and that backhand! While Fed takes an inevitable exit from the tour, a lot of the 2017 highlights will help us relive his legacy..And not to forget the outfits, Nike outdid itself with such an amazing collection…FedForever
Roger performance at AO, IW and MI that year was crazy good! Don`t get me started on that "new backhand" points which were jaw dropping...! Miss this guy! Was sooooo lucky to meet him at IW 2017!
That half volley on Stan's missile FH went back with some interest. Only Roger can pull that shot off with that much ease. Followed by a ridiculous drop volley. Too fuckin good!
Australian Open and Sunshine Double at 35-what a player! Even after seven years, we still haven’t seen anyone else with this unique blend of power and skill. Unfortunately, the game has shifted towards baseline players who can endure every rally. That’s why we don’t see the easy wins Federer often achieved with his versatile skill set. It’s hard to fully grasp this if you don’t play or truly understand the game.
2017 was my favorite tennis year. My 2 favorite players winning all GS, Laver cup introduction with Roger final win, Rafa and Roger’s match at the AO, etc.
2017 similar year comes to 2021 ... Mark my word ... Federer's come back stronger ever ... Historic comeback from federer.. God bless him... And he is surely tag greatest player👍 Bless from all over world from federer's fan ...
Got to see him live at Indian Wells Championship 2017. He looked much thinner in person. What astounded me the most was the sixth sense anticipation of both players. At least got a checkoff on the bucket list. Greatest All Time. Switch to a lager racket earlier in career and he finishes with 26 to 27 slam titles.
@@alexfratelli8936 You didn't understood him. He meant about his experience. Of course he's a "better" player because of it, he knows much more than in 2006. That doesn't mean he wins more, and anyone who watched him can say that a lot of his shots were better in 2005 than now.
This is Federer’s Sistine Chapel, a moment in time when the great one perfected his art. Federer truly brought the sport into another realm with his craft.

The most dangerous roger I've ever seen... This version of hims is just inevitable.... The outfit... And the skills he had especially the backhand🥶🥶🥵🥵🔥🔥💥
I will never forget that Green shirt and the counterpart white one..Fed decided to rewrite history and reinvent himself. He ended his tennis career on a great note
@@advays9815 those were good but not like this one It also depends what kind of tennis you prefer, Federer Kyrgios is the most interesting match-up for me
Federer's 2017 season has become a must see video for anyone wanting to know what excellence in any given sport looks like, and a cautionary tale for young tennis players about what happens when someone plays beyond his means. As wonderful as it was to watch, that kind of level became physically unsustainable.
The Man did not even go for a change of clothes, he just hung around the court beating one after the next and then flew to Miami and finished his job there.
He said himself that a 2006 RF would beat the 2017 version. Mostly because of his speed/defensive qualities. But surely he played some miraculous tennis that season. I will also remember Halle 2017, Rotterdam 2018 , Basel 2019 and Wimbledon 2019 (even though he lost).
Roger's level in IW that year was astonishing. One of his greatest tourments ever.
indeed, he maintained that through miami as well
@@Tronny Amazing that he got through Miami as well, quite a dam tough draw.. Tiafoe, Bautista Agut, del Potro, Berdych, Kyrgios, Nadal
@@armadyl1212 Yeah true that, 2 MPs down against berdych and could've easily lose to kyrgios in that titanic battle
@man bat not really...
Basically, 2017 roger was absolutely brutal
I swear I miss the Roger of AO 17, IW 17 and Miami 17. Never felt that good.
No one beats that fed
Can't argue there... He was unbeatable in 2017
It just comes to show how good Kyrgios is. He was so close to beat that version of Federer
@@bowiththeflow7123 Berdych came closer
I would maybe replace Miami 2017 with Shanghai 2017.
Things that hurt me:
1) That Federer didn't finish No. 1 of 2017
2) The two match points lost at Wimbledon 2019
Only didn’t finish number one cause he didn’t play enough
He got it for a few weeks in 2018 anyway
If he played the clay season and reached semis and quarters, he would've been no.1 easily
@@BrandonSG13 No, because he got injured in the US season and screwed up his finale.
2nd one heart me most ever
I almost forgot about those match points until I find your comment :(
This is the most aggressive version of Federer ever on any surface. His backhand was on fire even though he was 35 years old. Federer backhand played like Wawrinka backhand.
Utter domination indeed
yeah bro and he probably would've won the us open as well if the heat didn't kill him against millman, that entire year was insane

That backhand that year is just unbelievable astonishing !!!
I think every real talent should master the one-handed backhand, or am I mistaken?
Look at the way he moves on the tennis court. The way he dropped volleys, dropshots, backhand , slices. Everything about him is beautiful and graceful. Roger Federer is a beautiful player. It doesn't mean that Nadal and Novak aren't good. But Federer is something else.

Mountain top Federer. The aggression, variety, calm, focus, and belief in 2017 was an alchemy of brilliance.
The truth is that tennis is at its best when Federer is flowing. it just is a dream to watch.
What a backhand, what confidence, aggression and power. Also such beautiful tennis it's positively moving to watch.

The fact he did this far past his prime is just more evidence he's the GOAT! STATS AREN'T THE END ALL BE ALL!
Djokovic winning 3 grand slams at the age of 36. Federer did this at 35. Shows why Djokovic is the GOAT.
Talk about elegance and class no one does it better than the goat himself Roger
R Federer is probably the Greatest Tennis Player of all time he is relentless and who can tire from observing his performances
He had a killer backhand in 2017, he has win Miami, indian wells, Australia open, wimbeldon and Shanghai..... He's the icon he's the goat 🦌
It wasn't just that Roger transformed his majestic backhand, but he took so many chances with his aggressive style. Just so damned sublime ❤
I have never seen a level of play as high as Federer's when he wore that green shirt in 2017. He was an absolute assassin on the court.
His backhand was absolutely insane in the first half of 2017
8:35, probably my favourite shot combo from Fed that year, possibly ever...
The way he constructed that point was unreal. And Stan was hitting back like a bazooka.
That half volley on Stan's missile FH went back with some interest. Only Roger can pull that shot off with that much ease. Followed by a ridiculous drop volley. Too fuckin good!
The combo when he moves his opponent off 1 side of the court and finishes it in the other end was better imo.
Stan shot to the line: Big shot fed has to defend
Fed: no i dont think i will
ends the point 1 shot later on the net
Stan: WTF?
That volley was ridiculous
best tennis level ever
Best version of Fed ever, flying on court throwing rocket, monstruous backhand and overall speed
2017 was a very memorable year as a Federer fan. Thanks Tennis TV for these highlights.
Glimpse of the master from glory days... the G.O.A.T.
One of the best season Federer had

Federer’s outfit 😍
Amazing because his draw in Miami that year was so tough..to take out RBA, Delpo, Berdych, Kyrgios and Nadal…crazy.
Roger during his Renaissance may have been his best ever. He went from already GOAT status and found a new level, even if for just a few months.
2017 was my favorite tennis year. My 2 favorite players winning all GS, Laver cup introduction with Roger final win, Rafa and Roger’s match at the AO, etc.
True, for me too

This was simply a magical month. Unreal tennis from Roger
comeback to this video every once a year... what a treat
After watching this is there any doubt that he is the greatest player ever?
All court aggressive tennis of the highest caliber. Such a treat to watch
Federer's draw in Miami was absolutely insane, from first round to final
This was a great run in 2017 and perfect way to open the season. His backhand was incisive and clinical.
Miami was just madness all the way 'til the very end. Insane level.
2017 was the year. It really was the return of the king
i can watch this time after time after time, what a dream come true that was, loved every single match and the one against kyrgios was something else.
The moment his backhand on point, nobody can stop him.

This wasn't the best Federer as many people wants to believe, but definitely was the most pleasant to watch for destroying Nadal with such ease.
IW 17 was close to his best though. AO 17 and Miami 17 showed his clutchness.
