@@lancemasters7800 well that's true but difficult. Agreed that Wawrinka Ain't good on grass but he can give a tough fight or even defeat anyone in god mode
Yes!!! Absolut great player. Should be seen as at least a top 20 player of all time. Imagine winning 3 slams during a time when the big3 or even big4 were relatively young. Or at least the same age you are... Imagine today one Player 34+ winning against Novak or a 35+ winning against Rafa
I really miss this kind of tennis. Just a lot of respect for the opponent, no racket smashing, no intense grunting. Brilliant shot making and the crowd just enjoying the match and celebrating at appropriate times
@@jeffrey5602 Rafa and Novak grunt a lot. And Novak smashes rackets. Roger used to. I get that it’s more extreme nowadays, but it isn’t a completely new thing
I remember watching this match. Stan was overpowering Rog in many of the baseline rallies. Roger changed his tactic and started coming to the net more often towards the later half of the second set and the entirety of third set.
One of most exciting, amazing match that did not got much recognition from fans. Honestly this is my choice of top 3 matches that year. OMG, what a match that was🤯
I'm so sorry for Wawrinka to lose so many tight matches against Federer. I've thinking a lot about why does he have such a bad record against Federer and now I think its just that Federer is better at defence, finishing at the net and has superior mental strenght.
watching the highlights back now, and realizing how much of a legendary match this was... What a privledge we had to watch Fed, Nadal, Djoker, and hell, everyone else in the top 20 back in the day.
That was the year Fed withdrew and saved energy for the Davis Cup Final. This Wawrinka had a great chance to trouble or even beat Djokovic in the final. That was between AO 2014 and Roland 2015, and Stan won both. I really wanted to see that match.
He withdrew because he was injured. People pointed out that his service motion was compromised at the end of this match immediately afterwards and before he announced his withdrawal. Plus, he got into a spat with Wawrinka right after this match, so I doubt he expected to play Davis Cup with him until that got sorted out.
That match had plenty of talking points, Fed´s wife, terrible overrule by Mourier (always been a bad ref) with Fed being confused (shouldn´t happen either, gotta be aware of the score) and a dramatic ending. Glad they won the Davis Cup together just a few weeks later.
@@strangerinthedark5707 that's the word, but I've also gotta word that it was someone in Fed's camp behind here. Thinking about it logically, I'd be really confused if it was her since she *NEVER* says anything in all of Roger's other matches. Regardless, very confusing.
2014 was a DRAMATIC year for Fed. 3 matches Fed had to deal with MPs, fought back, saved them and ended up winning. Gael Monfils at the USOpen, Mayer at Shanghai and Wawrinka at WTF.
@@kamilmalinowski1267 20 slams. Zero mental strength. Sounds legit. They should be grateful that this is his main flaw - a 2% increase in mental strength and we'd have got tired of all his winning years ago.
I miss the era of 2007 - 2014 back when tennis was so great you would face players like blake or simon in the third round now you face berritini or whatever in the quarterfinals of slams , Tennis declined so much it's crazy those were indeed the days :((
Men's tennis still has quite a few one-hamders. It's the women who are few and far between: Suarez-Navarro, Golubic, Maria and Gasparyan: those are all the active ones I can think of off the bat.
Roger has almost always looked to me like he was slow moving to his forehand side... IDK if he got so used to defending the BH that it took him extra time to realize the next shot was a FH?
It was really a shame he retired before the final He was playing really well, but you can see he was moving less than his previous matches, he played this one wit his back injuried, but well I really thought he was gonna take that one
This is Federer's match opponent is Wawrinka. Djokovic is not there anywhere. Yet you will find here Djokovic fans like Travis Bickle etc. are commenting with usual hatred. Its pathetic really. Can something be done to block these elements?
well just like fedal fans have been waiting all year for djokovic to lose to come out of the cave. You had your five minutes in us open and now he is back to winning ways
@@paulotorres5022 This about Federer vs Wawrinka .. why are you even watching this and commenting on this? Djokovic just won a title isn't it? Can't you watch that video instead? These guys are pathetic.
Dit was een fe-no-me-nale wedstrijd met een niet al te vriendelijke handshake. Hier zie je waarom Wawrinka 3 Grand Slams gewonnen heeft. Dit was een wedstrijd qua niveau van de big three onderling. Wawrinka is een fantastische tennisser geweest in zijn beste jaren. Zo'n mooie manier van spelen!
@@NamTran-xc2ipHe might’ve if he hadn’t injured his back. He had multiple wins against Novak that year, Dubai, Monte Carlo, Shanghai, & the Wimbledon loss was a very tight match. So he definitely could have, you don’t know for sure.
We will not see the likes of this for years to come: a game that combines artistry, chess, exquisite technique, fencing and brutal hitting in various measures to produce crafted tennis that ebbs and flows. The new generation are fearsomely efficient, brutal hitters and most are very competent volleyers - but somehow it's not very engaging to watch. And they're all a bit samey
I know Stan winning Wimbledon is a long shot, but he maybe could've really won a Year-End Championship, kinda sad when I see these younger players win before him, hehe.

@@carlosmateos6567 Bro, Federer leads Stan 23-3. And in 2014, Stan’s God Mode year, Roger was able to beat Stan 2 out of the 3 times they played. Plus Stan was on the verge of losing that Monte Carlo final.
Stan may not be as big as the big 3, but once he's in god mode, it's a joy to watch.
Absolutely true!
When Djo is in fire, only Stan can put out.
And Rafa on clay.
Even God mode Stan could lose to a lot of players on grass.

It's INCREDIBLE that Federer has never lost to Wawrinka outside of clay. Just shows you how much matchups matters in tennis.

Pure gentleman's tennis...doesn't get any better than that.
You really do cherish the days where Federer's movement and footwork were great.
It’s still great.
@Jared Tai Towards the end he was
After 2011, Federer and Wawrinka have enjoyed a superb, and very understated rivalry. Good memories!!
What a stunning game it was! He is literally strong in mentality.
I'm so sorry for Wawrinka to lose so many tight matches against Federer.

Iconic matchup, and an excellent match overall! 🎾🔥
What's more amazing than this match is how Federer recovered from the back injury in less than a week to play the Davis Cup Finals
Clown he got destroyed by Monfils. Like a fully fit Federer would ever get destroyed by Monfils of all people.
@@ZAY109 Clown he beat Gasquet in straight sets as well. The court was knowingly made extremely slow to provide advantage to the French players.
@@ShMayank lol gasquet doesnt know how to play federer. terrible game to face him
Not like he tore an ACL or something lol
Always be one of the classical battle, one of my favourite matches!
That face Roger made at the end. He knew how bad that loss was gonna sting..
you can absolutely see in that expression he makes that they're very good friends yeah....he looks so pained there
Still federer reached 2014 atp finals final but he got injured so djokovic won by walkover.
Davis Cup winning duo in that year. what a beautiful game.
This is the classiest match I've ever watched a video about.
From a series that could serve as a model for future generations
as a swiss this hurts to watch. nostalgia yes but also sad that these times will never come back and i missed most of it

I also think the same but Djokovic already defeated him in Round robin in this tournament..if he reached finals its their second meeting
wimbledon 14 as well, stan was playing crazy and could have won the trophy but Fed stopped him 😅

To play that well and still lose. OUCH!
@Ryo Shusuke is Gay: If you're talking about the final, my brain is still smoking over that one.

Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
I miss these epic ATP actions from 2014.... 😭 Wish we go back to 2014 again.
Great match. Stan can play inspired tennis, and he sure missed a few golden opportunities here. His net play let him down.
The 🐐 still has it 😁
One most excited match and excellent
Very amazing. !
Thanks a lot, I was looking to find this match. I love both players anyway.
When they get into a backhand rally. Heaven
I miss watching these guys when they were at the peak of their careers.
Bring back the one handed backhand. Tennis can't let its most elegant shot die.
Men's tennis still has quite a few one-hamders. It's the women who are few and far between: Suarez-Navarro, Golubic, Maria and Gasparyan: those are all the active ones I can think of off the bat.
Nowadays is a disadvantage, best one handers either rip off every ball or have an amazing slice to back it up
What a battle between these two.
Unreal match, unreal drama🤌

2 UNREAL Single hand Backhands, Best in the game , EVER
good old classy days 😍
I will tell my childs that this was the only war swiss ever had
That’s gonna be hard to swallow for Stan.. 4 match points .. in the game
is this when stan hated on mirka
0:17 Federer in super akward position still manages to launch a perfect backhand
It was really a shame he retired before the final
He was playing really well, but you can see he was moving less than his previous matches, he played this one wit his back injuried, but well
I really thought he was gonna take that one
Watching a single-hander versus a single-hander in tennis is astonishing.
But he withdrawal the final match against djokovic. I remember i was so sad. Stan was better that match he deserved to be in the final
I call this, "the Mirka match"
they avoid to show any footage of that moment. Mirkagate was censored
@@raoulhery Try harder. I've seen it on TH-cam, hardly censorship.
Wawrinka should watch his game in these highlights 😔
Stan has a much beautiful game!
Commentator seemed to be so biased towards Wawrinka, but he was playing great.
Wawrinka literally wasted 3 MP, why did he serve and volley 3x times in a row? I still do not get it
Roger probably new something is seriously wrong with his back, that's why not celebrating in the end.
What a match btw!!!!
big hitting from stan still wasn't able to calm his mind to finish the match
Amazing macht Roger the Best
The Thing with Stan is that his brilliance fades away as the match progresses.....he gets bored or something.....but Stan IS the MAN !
I miss Stanimal big time ! He should have won this. Period.

amazing

On 4-3 2nd set on federer's service in 2nd point rally the ball was out.
down to the wire but fed just played better under pressure
It has been proven that Wawrinka has the best backhand. His backhand can dominate Novak’s backhand, Rafa’s and Roger’s.
Omg that was close O_O
Prime Stan was a force yo be reckoned with
who was the commentator , SUCH A SHAME

I think wawrinka had the most powered one handed back hand in history
Feds backhand back in those days really didn't do much
神乎其技啊!
I never saw him fatigue, but still always felt like Wawrinka could be next level if he were a tad lighter.

No footage of the "mirkagate"
