Fed is going to beat him because he' believes that he can'. Come on. Even if he won the 1st set, that doesnt mean he could have won. After everything you have seen over the years from this surface. You must know that he tried his best, even if he believed more, he would still have been met with higher resistance. SW19 2019 is another case altogether. That one is😔

    As great as Rafa is on clay, Federer had no reason to not win this match. Rafa didn't look his best in that tournament (lost 2 sets to Isner) while Federer had taken out the most in-form player in the world. That semifinal match against Djokovic is very memorable for me as it was the first tennis match I ever watched and the one that made me a fan of Federer. I watched it with a friend and his family (who were rooting for Djokovic).

      They don't love each other though. Federer cried like a baby at the 2009AO F trophy ceremony.
      Nadal did not invite Federer to his 2019 wedding, for example. Because they aren't friends but they were business partners when they both worked for NIKE. NIKE made commercials of them being "friendly" because they both were NIKE brand ambassadors and employees of NIKE. It is like how NIKE a few years ago kept promoting Raducanu and Nadal being "best friends" when all they really did was pay Raducanu to wear Nadal's NIKE gear for PR and commercial/advertisement reasons.

    Until 5-2 in the first set, Federer played one of the cleanest games of tennis ive ever seen him play , and i watch him since 2003. He had a clear vision of how the rallies must go and considering the overall score, this is the only RG match between the 2 that he could have won, maybe in 4 sets too. But that drop shot at set point was a mistake

    Federers biggest weakness has always been his inability - when having the advantage to not always use it Example , his conversion rate on break points is at the lower % when compared with his contemporaries .
    Change this - and he could have ended his career well ahead of his rivals
    That aside - his game style was still the best to watch - versatile , often creative and flowing - the world will miss him 👌

    Roger should have gone to a bigger size racquet way earlier. The one Roger was using here was only 90sq.inch. He then went up to a frame that was 97sq. inch. It gave him more power on the back hand and allowed him to drive the ball better. That's how he defeated Rafa in the finals of the Australian Open in 2017.

    As much as I love Fed, the only reason Federer was able to beat Djokovic the way he did and dominate Nadal for the first 3 sets the way he did here was because 2011 Roland Garros played more like a medium hardcourt than a clay court that year. The balls were blazing fast and the court didn't really slow them down enough to properly resemble a clay court.

    If you watch carefully, Federer by this time had suffered permanent mental damage when facing Nadal at RG. He knew his game couldn't deal with a player like Nadal on this surface. Even a solid game like Djokivic's wouldn't win against Nadal when he's playing well at RG.

  • @raobuctdeerf
    @raobuctdeerf ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Most of the points were lost when Roger left the baseline and tried to rush the net and got passed or couldn't hit the perfect volley ... even though beating Nadal in baseline rallies at RG is the toughest task Roger should have stayed back and chosen more carefully which ones to finish at the net,...obviously this is easier to say ..however i 'm pointing out here because this was the exact sort of gameplan he employed in AO 17 final...waiting for the right moment to go to the net ... i think he sort of lost it after 5-2 when that drop shot felt wide.. and then when you lose 5 straight games from 5-2 to losing 5-7 i guess Roger was just sort of holding his game in sets 2 and 3 . he was still good enough .... but not as good as the 1st set until 5-2 ...with such a mentality when you have to go toe to toe with Nadal and win set 3 ..i guess it was too much for Roger from set 4 onwards and he got breadsticked..still even if he had won the 1st set it would have been difficult to say whether he would have won overall...because since he did not win 1st set he was at a high level until set 3 because he wanted to win a set and then it became too much... am saying this as a Roger fan..as beating Rafa in RG was one of the most toughest task...
    In 2006 also he had won the first set and still lost in 4..

    Roger is such a choker against Rafa on clay it's amazing to see. Also against Djokovic in grand slams while having 40-15 in match points. That's the only negative thing in his career. Without it he would've been easily the best ever officially.

    • @paulmansell4763

      Rafa was in Roger's head but not just on clay. It needs to be remembered that Rafa beat Roger on all three surfaces in grand slams & Roger only beat Rafa at Wimbledon in 2006 and 2007. Then Roger finally won another slam match in Melbourne in 2017 & again at Wimbledon in their final match in 2019. Rafa was a better player at their respective peaks, but Roger was unclear how to play against Nadal until Melbourne 2017. On clay Rafa's advantages were such that at Roland Garros it was close to Mission Impossible for Roger.

  • @manjitsinghksw4046

    Although i am a huge Federer fan yet i m of the view that his biggest weakness is: 1 his inability to hit cross court shots 2 :his very low conversion rate of break points n 3 : lack of self confidence at crucial points specially against Djokovic n Nadal otherwise he is a player to be born once in a century.
    He had everything in his game : class, elegance, beautiful service, his ability to serve aces consistently , footwork , drop shots, over head lobs. You know he could make the game so easy n keep the point short. If he could curtail his above mentioned weaknesses, he could easily 6 more grand slams.

    Post 2006, this was the best chance Federer had to beat Rafa at the French Open.
    I think his backhand was working well too.
    But his inability to play his best tennis on big points against Rafa/Nole cost him again.
    The rain delay also helped him to get back in the second set, yet he wasn't able to take advantage.
    The conditions got heavier after the rain which meant no major top spin for Rafa, still he wasn't able to win even though he was playing well.
    On one hand it shows how difficult it is to beat Rafa at the French Open. But it also shows how difficult it is to overcome the lack of belief if you have lost always to an opponent on a surface.
    Just as Federer always had confidence against Roddick, Hewitt. Rafa has that against Federer.
    Nonetheless, great performance from Roger overall and a great match to see.
