@Varun Yes, its so amazing these three players even some of them getting older they are still on top of their game.. Especially in big event like wimbledon
Matthew Erskine I’m a Federer fan but I will always have special love and respect for Rafael Nadal.. ALWAYS. Without a doubt the 2 greatest player of All Time.
Apps Borkar not all unfortunately. I’ve seen quite some that claim they are and just trash talk. Every great player has those range of supposed fans, from the nicest to the nastiest. I personally am a fan of all three, with Rafa at the top for his humbleness and down to earth personality. I love how he always brings up the good qualities of his opponents, and treats all of them as tough, because they generally are. Some people, unfortunately, are blind and like to see these great players as gods and the like, making statements about how dominant they are and such. Anyways, just wanted to point out that not all fans are the same, and that there will always be a range.
Even after extreme show of talent, hard work and sheer dedication in editing, the guys at wimbledon couldn't bring it down to less than 8 minutes!!!! That shows how great this match was !!!!! Go Roger!!!
Ayaz Saeed actually it should be full time match that’s what they really deserve an epic game I watched it live and I couldn’t put my eye for it 👀 the best comeback ever after RG semifinals, Federer Fan and proud for being so.
In year 2008, Federer was around 27 years of age but it is the wonder of the world that in year 2019, ( around 38 years of age)he was playing with such authority, highest level thrashing Nadal, whereas Nadal around age 21 years in 2008 and playing with lesser authority in 2019 ( age around 32years) makes him look very ordinary when compared to the great Roger Federer. Federer always Mich better than Nadal in grass and any hard courts. Only a little lesser in clay courts
@@devasundarchatpublicityas9472ik its a year late... but a "little" worse on clay.... theyre 11-2. And "much better" on hard courts when its 11-9? Fanboy much?
Federer was absolutely sensational in this match. Throughout the tournament. Just sublime to watch. Deserved to win against Djokovic in the final too. His nerves just let him down. Tragic.
Roger played almost a perfect match!! just amazing how composed and calm he managed to stay...even when not returning well he did not give up the space!!! magnificent!
The level of these 3 (roger, rafa, novak) , I just can't imagine who can replace them, and who is the goat? I don't care, for me these 3 is the greatest!
This guy Roger is a live fossil. He'll still be playing when aliens colonize the earth. I can imagine the galaxy commander will be sitting in a luxury box drinking scottish whiskey while watching this guy playing.

omg that was so annoying. He should have won the point anyway. I don't think him saying challenge affected Nadal's shot. It was almost like Djoko hitting the net which cost him the semi at RG a few years ago against Nadal. Luckily, it didn't cost Fed this time
Not at every aspect, but probably overall yes. Shame he lacks the same mental strength in tough situations as Nadal or Djokovic, or the same movement and toughness.
That is correct. Best touch I've ever seen, best forehand I've ever seen, one of the best backhands I've ever seen. If only he was tougher menally. I mean, Rafa and Djoker are just machines at thus point. Djoker is the best atm I believe, and Rafa can mix it up with him.
Having not met at Wimbledon for 11 years and then to pick up where they left off in 2008 , unreal. Also huge respect and love for each other on and off the court , one betters the other. May never see a dynamic duo like this again in tennis , soak it up and drink it in.
Great call. Roger is the GOAT & i say that totally unbiassed as i lean more towards Nole because of my Serbian heritage. Roger is like a magician waving his wand whilst his contemporaries Novak & Rafa are wonderful but have results because they die for every point. Fedex doesn't do that and is why he has kept his longevity!
It's sad that the most talented and skillful member of the big three will end up third in the Slam race. In my opinion Federer was the best to play this game, but he choked on so many important matches and statistics aren't on his side now. Wimbledon 2019 was his last chance and he knew it. Without a doubt my favourite player.
@Colonel Gibbs The GOAT is either Djokovic or Federer. Anyone who says Nadal is ignoring the fact that his slam record is carried by his dominance on clay. He can be the GOAT of clay, but not the GOAT of all tennis imo. His duration as the world #1 is paltry compared to Federer and Djokovic and he's never even won the world tour finals.

Your assessment that Nadal can't be the GOAT because of his slam tally carried by his dominance on clay is just unfair. He may only be the 3rd best player of the three by statistics when it comes to hard and grass courts, but in direct head 2 head with Federer, Federer only managed to beat Nadal 1 time at AO (2017 final) to Nadal having three wins (2009, 2012, 2014) and the other three times in Wimbledon (2006, 2007, 2019) to Nadal beating him once (2008). So Federer is historically inferior to Nadal at hart court grand slam level as well as on clay of course. Wouldn't there be Djokovic, Nadal would have multiple more grand slams in hard courts to date. The REAL race is and has been going on between Nadal and Djokovic since 2010, with Federer (I am sorry to say that but it's nevertheless true) as the clear-cut 3rd best. It's really not his playing ability that is inferior to Nadal's and Djoko's, it was always the mental aspect where Djokovic and Nadal are just monsters. By the way, Nadal has Olympic gold and the others do not (on a hard court) The biggest weakness Nadal has is indoor hard court which should be considered a liability in the GOAT race, but it's for sure not enough to put Federer above Nadal by any stretch of the imagination.
He is champion because he is kind to himself after these huge defeats, even though those are great defeats as he puts it, he acknowledges the wins he should not have gotten and therefore understands the losses when he deserved it. It’s ambition and perspective in check. That’s why he is maestro!👍👍miss him. I wish, I had spared money to watch Roger on the court when I could. He might shed tears, but beyond his roudy years, he is a class act tennis player, a husband and a good father.
Mental game federer biggest problem... NOVAK DJOKOVIC is unstoppable force with this mental power to play vs federer nadal Murray + 15.000 biased crowd on central court
Federer the juicer strikes again. At the end of the match it looked like he hardly broke a sweat, while Nadal looked pretty haggard. Federer is the Lance Armstrong of tennis.
Federer vs Nadal will always be Unstoppable force vs Immovable object. One of the greatest rivalries not just in tennis but also in the whole of sport. What a privilege to have witnessed it.
No it is only Rafa, no matter who beat whom, but Rafa makes this game exsating, no matter with whom he is playing, and only Rafas matches are always heartbreking, worth watching, win or lose
No it is only Rafa, no matter who beat whom, but Rafa makes this game exsating, no matter with whom he is playing, and only Rafas matches are always heartbreking, worth watching, win or lose
The last point represents everything that this rivalry stands for. Roger the genius and Rafa the ultimate fighter. Reverse that at Roland Garros. It's difficult not to love both.
No, there isn`t a fraud. He just uses his experience while at 25 he has been newer to this. Now he is slower than at 25 but he has more knowledge. Which in tennis is the most important thing
Man the rallies from this match were insane. Djodal may produce the most brutally demanding matches in terms of body fitness, but this pair serves up the most beautiful ones.
he had the chances to beat Novak 3-1... choked a 5-3 lead in the first set tiebreak losing both his serves by missing easy smashes. 4th set he almost choked after having 2 breaks, he almost got broken the second time. and of course the match point choke at the net. overall, his backhand was too passive and had way too many slices, unlike the match against Nadal, and his first serve % was quite low. if his backhand and serve was on point like this match, and if he made way less unforced errors in key moments, he would've won it easily.
@@kantrivalli7859 If Nadal had won this match,the result could be more drastic than in Australia,100% one set could be a bagel with Federer was more dramatic and intense, especially the last set.
@@vertiniman4692 it's not like djoko is gonna be like "oh I won last year it's time for someone else" 😂😂😂 it's gonna be tough but not impossible. Roger can make a surprise
Soytu19 hmmm not so sure. Djoko has hardly been tested. Rafa had the toughest draw. And Fed came through Rafa with a perfect executed gameplan and a BH that is nearing the 2017 neo-backhand and a well playing Nishikori. My money is on Fed
@@Fanthomas1742 nadal made his career attacking Feds backhand. but with the bigger racquets and Feds improved timing, its not as effective a strategy as it used to be
@@ma1ist yes by top spin forehand shots nadal had a big chances against federer but if federer played like that in RG last years he would really manage to beat him. I hope he can get the right strategy to beat nole cuz he plays differently.
Little did we know back then that this would be the last time Federer would be facing Nadal. Federer wrapped up the match with the sun setting in the background, kinda symbolic of one of the greatest rivalries in the history of sport coming to a glorious end. Fedal Forever! ❤🔥❤🔥
Second that. People should really stop arguing who's better. All three are so unbelievably amazing that only nuances, such as the surface and weather condition, and their current physical and mental form, determine who's gonna win on a certain day.
Two true legends. The rivalry has been going for 15 years but I could watch them for another 10! Never gets boring. Enjoying every moment of it while I can. Just amazing, respect to both!
Always staying alert and ahead, and she went back down immediately to avoid any distractions. Very good training given for the most important occasion and players
Nadal can't bully that backhand anymore. Now it's a proper fight. I was looking back at 2007 and 2008 and Fed's backhand was basically just bunting compared to this.
@@srinitaaigaura exactly if only he had shifted to a bigger frame back then. Its clearly visible from watching old videos that rafas fh (and bh) is so much more powerful now than back then but still fed can counter it so well now. The fh, serve, movement of younger fed plus present bh is the invincible tennis player. Rafa fans were raving about him 'declined' in 2017. There is no excuse now as rafa was in hot form this wimbledon as he as been post 2016... and so many were tipping him to win this time.
@Ferdous Alam yes exactly! Nd rafatards say he was 'declined' in 2017 to as an excuse for his losses against Roger. This match also shows what wud hv happened if they met on grass from 2011 to now ND y the h2h is skewed in rafas favor
super consistent performance from fed forehand and backhand.. toe to toe with rafa whole match.. he never looked fully exposed like in the past well played... legendary rivarly and always beautiful tennis from both champions.. 38 grand slam championships between the two what an era of tennis
I remember when Federer started losing to Nadal around 2008 I thought he would never be able to beat him again because he was in his head and because Fed was so much older. amazing that 11 years later Federer looks as strong as he does. Unreal
Roger- Hey Siri take out my backhand.... Siri- Here it is Roger!! Roger- Not this one Siri, get the "Neo" one because it's Rafa 😁 ----------------------------------------------------- But seriously PROUD of Roger♥ and Rafa
Its not the truth. Stop talking bullshits. Level of any tennis player depends not only of him but from opponent too. Nadal today was good only in second set. Rest of the game were sending short balls. In the middle of the court. He didnt manage to send them in corners to push Federer to run a bit more. Its partly because of Federer and partly Rafa cant find a level of tennis on grass needed for Roger. Novak is other story. He knows well what he has to do and on sunday will prevail one who is more motivated and more agressive. Simply Novak knows to be agressive on any court..Remember AO 2019. He simply didnt allow Nadal to think of any chance. If Novak manage to rise at that level on Sunday...the outcome will be the same. Nevertheless..I will enjoy either way and Iam huge Novak fan. Simply when those 3 are playing Iam like I dont care whose gonna win. Let them just play at their best levels.
Actually nole is on an absolutely different planet. Lets hope federer to atleast stay in the match beyond 3 sets which itself requires your best against novak. I want roger to win but my heart says novak is going to do it.
I fear that Federer may be too tired . He said he was exhausted after beating Nadal which makes sense since now he's been on court for 12 hours. What he's doing at this age is amazing but I fear his body is taking a beating.
Can't help but feel praise on what an athelete Roger Federer is . He is the heart of tennis 🎾. No player evokes such magical feelings as Federer's play .
Federer tried to do this in his First serve of the first match point, However it was called out, so he went for a Safe second serve and allowed Djokovic to hit a passing shot.
Few tactical observations from my side: Roger was extremely careful about his slice, he sliced or knifed rather, mostly down the line where grass is relatively thicker and of course to avoid Rafa running around his forehand, the same can't be done on successfully on clay Vs Rafa Roger went to Rafa's strength i.e forehand to show that he isn't afraid but did it very tactically. Again, served down the T on duece court to forehand. Roger was so precise there. He came over the/top spin backhand right from get go including returns, knowing that he would get the rhythm later on. Which exactly happened in 3rd and 4th set, he was ready to play backhand forehand punching vs Rafa. I myself have a one handed backhand. Once I hit few in the middle I turn a monster on backhand side :p Rafa was body serving instead wide sliders in the first but went back to age old tactics which surprised me a bit. But Roger didn't give any breathing space after 2nd set.
That backhand whip on the last point was what let him set up the next shot low to Nadal's backhand, which he ended up overcooking, giving him the victory. Nadal for his part was doing everything possible to keep Roger pinned on the baseline and not step forward and letting that backhand fire. The tactical play of this match was of another level.
Djokovic is a better server than Nadal and the best returner in the game. That's going to be the difference in the Finals. He will extract errors from the Swiss as the match wears on. Federer's best chance is to finish the match in 4 sets. If the match goes the distance Djokovic will end up defending the title.
@@celestialspartan7977 Also, Novak hits his backhand a bit deeper and low, while Nadal's forehands are bit shorter and bounces more, which allowes Roger to unleash the Neo BH from inside the baseline. It's gonna be a totally different match. Hope Fed's backhand doesn't crumble under pressure. The slices are gonna play a part.
@@darkodarko3967 Federer played under this level as well so it's the same. Plus Nole is way better than Rafa at the moment everywhere except for Clay so that too... Nole should have ran over Fed being 6 years younger.
Honestly though Rafa was making some incredible shots, especailly in the last game, he just refuses to give up. It's awesome to see that kind of competetive spirit.
Beautiful rallies by great Federer... Always amazing to watch Rafa vs RF... skills at its best... backhand of RF....so orthodox...like Sachin playing a straight drive...I just love that backhand of RF...
As a boy I was a RF fanboy, and a Nadal hater (back then). I watched this match, and in that point at 7:05, I celebrated Nadal's point. What an era of tennis. I don't give a ____ who is GOAT. I wish that their battles could last to eternity... but age is a thing and we should be grateful for watching those epic rivalries of tennis history
I have a tear in my eye when I watch these two tennis legends play can't even choose who's going to win tennis & with DJOKOVIC waiting in the finals it all starts again WOW what a wonderful delema 🤔😊🤔
Rafa might be the youngest to beat Roger.. But Ageless Roger will remain the Oldest to beat Rafa.....

Nadal isn't the GOAT.
@@ClareAmel Yes, by statistics as of now he is, however that doesn't mean Djokovic won't be able to equalize or surpass him in slams and therefore in the GOAT race in the future.
Your assessment that Nadal can't be the GOAT because of his slam tally carried by his dominance on clay is just unfair. He may only be the 3rd best player of the three by statistics when it comes to hard and grass courts, but in direct head 2 head with Federer, Federer only managed to beat Nadal 1 time at AO (2017 final) to Nadal having three wins (2009, 2012, 2014) and the other three times in Wimbledon (2006, 2007, 2019) to Nadal beating him once (2008).

It's really not his playing ability that is inferior to Nadal's and Djoko's, it was always the mental aspect where Djokovic and Nadal are just monsters.
By the way, Nadal has Olympic gold and the others do not (on a hard court) The biggest weakness Nadal has is indoor hard court which should be considered a liability in the GOAT race, but it's for sure not enough to put Federer above Nadal by any stretch of the imagination.
@@ClareAmel I never could understand this take. It's still tennis. Clay isn't some second class, afterthought surface.
He is champion because he is kind to himself after these huge defeats, even though those are great defeats as he puts it, he acknowledges the wins he should not have gotten and therefore understands the losses when he deserved it. It’s ambition and perspective in check. That’s why he is maestro!👍👍miss him. I wish, I had spared money to watch Roger on the court when I could.
He might shed tears, but beyond his roudy years, he is a class act tennis player, a husband and a good father.
Mental game federer biggest problem... NOVAK DJOKOVIC is unstoppable force with this mental power to play vs federer nadal Murray + 15.000 biased crowd on central court

@@arenthy7190 federer choked 3 important matches at 15 40 should've won atleast 2.
I think there must be a age fraud case with federer ..... it is just rediculus how a 37 year old man can play like this...he is playing like he is 25.
Roger's 38
People are faking their ages to show themselves younger, while Roger is actually younger showing himself older.
Your "rediculus" is also ridiculous 😆
No, there isn`t a fraud. He just uses his experience while at 25 he has been newer to this. Now he is slower than at 25 but he has more knowledge. Which in tennis is the most important thing
Bro in August he will be 38.
King of clay have lost to motivated Fed. Roger is class. These two are unreal professionals. Best semi final so far.
Man the rallies from this match were insane. Djodal may produce the most brutally demanding matches in terms of body fitness, but this pair serves up the most beautiful ones.
Agree wholeheartedly. The variety in style makes for great viewing.
Federer should never have lost this Wimbledon........
he had the chances to beat Novak 3-1... choked a 5-3 lead in the first set tiebreak losing both his serves by missing easy smashes. 4th set he almost choked after having 2 breaks, he almost got broken the second time. and of course the match point choke at the net. overall, his backhand was too passive and had way too many slices, unlike the match against Nadal, and his first serve % was quite low. if his backhand and serve was on point like this match, and if he made way less unforced errors in key moments, he would've won it easily.
Serge Zerkalo nadal should have not lost to Federer 😏

1:11 Federer's return bearly passed over net and the ballgirl on the right almost went for the ball...
Fun
Always staying alert and ahead, and she went back down immediately to avoid any distractions. Very good training given for the most important occasion and players
The camaraderie between the two and surprisingly between the fans is the reason why this rivalry will go down as the best in any sport.
That backhand is of steel.
I still can’t understand how he generates power of backhand. Incredible to watch.
Nadal can't bully that backhand anymore. Now it's a proper fight. I was looking back at 2007 and 2008 and Fed's backhand was basically just bunting compared to this.
@@srinitaaigaura exactly if only he had shifted to a bigger frame back then. Its clearly visible from watching old videos that rafas fh (and bh) is so much more powerful now than back then but still fed can counter it so well now. The fh, serve, movement of younger fed plus present bh is the invincible tennis player. Rafa fans were raving about him 'declined' in 2017. There is no excuse now as rafa was in hot form this wimbledon as he as been post 2016... and so many were tipping him to win this time.
@Ferdous Alam true. Nadal is basically done at this point though. He's an all time great but he's no threat to the GOAT
Timing
@Ferdous Alam yes exactly! Nd rafatards say he was 'declined' in 2017 to as an excuse for his losses against Roger. This match also shows what wud hv happened if they met on grass from 2011 to now ND y the h2h is skewed in rafas favor
Never count Federer out of anything... period!
Yh all the comments of rafa beating fed 3-0. But all those people now to chickenshit to accept defeat and give the credit to roger.
This is feds surface. Expected him to win and Federer is ranked higher at Wimbledon
Throwback to 2008 wimbledon final
super consistent performance from fed forehand and backhand.. toe to toe with rafa whole match.. he never looked fully exposed like in the past
well played... legendary rivarly and always beautiful tennis from both champions.. 38 grand slam championships between the two what an era of tennis
it is not just the brilliant tennis. it is the focus & the intensity of both as well. unbelievable skill & dedication.
I remember when Federer started losing to Nadal around 2008 I thought he would never be able to beat him again because he was in his head and because Fed was so much older. amazing that 11 years later Federer looks as strong as he does. Unreal
Im 2008 Federer was only 26
I understand ur sentiment and thoughts but I never lost my faith in Roger...

Roger- Hey Siri take out my backhand....
Siri- Here it is Roger!!
Roger- Not this one Siri, get the "Neo" one because it's Rafa 😁
-----------------------------------------------------
But seriously PROUD of Roger♥ and Rafa
Rafa: Siri. Get my returns and backhand from the first five games.
Siri: Sorry. Not found.
Who knew that this would be the last ever meeting between them. Federer is forever the GOAT. Nadal is a GOAT as well.
And now I think final will be more interesting because we haven't seen this level of Roger against Djokovic in recent years.
TRUE!
Its not the truth. Stop talking bullshits. Level of any tennis player depends not only of him but from opponent too. Nadal today was good only in second set. Rest of the game were sending short balls. In the middle of the court. He didnt manage to send them in corners to push Federer to run a bit more.
Its partly because of Federer and partly Rafa cant find a level of tennis on grass needed for Roger.
Novak is other story. He knows well what he has to do and on sunday will prevail one who is more motivated and more agressive. Simply Novak knows to be agressive on any court..Remember AO 2019. He simply didnt allow Nadal to think of any chance.
If Novak manage to rise at that level on Sunday...the outcome will be the same.
Nevertheless..I will enjoy either way and Iam huge Novak fan.
Simply when those 3 are playing Iam like I dont care whose gonna win. Let them just play at their best levels.
Actually nole is on an absolutely different planet. Lets hope federer to atleast stay in the match beyond 3 sets which itself requires your best against novak. I want roger to win but my heart says novak is going to do it.
I fear that Federer may be too tired . He said he was exhausted after beating Nadal which makes sense since now he's been on court for 12 hours. What he's doing at this age is amazing but I fear his body is taking a beating.
Hopefully
ABSOLUTELY EPIC! 👍☺ and his backhand and forehand both working so well, they really do bring out the best in each other! 😍
First time respect to win of Federer from Rafa fans👏👏👏
I love both
Please don't represent rafa fans. We always used to respect the roger Federer.
Can't help but feel praise on what an athelete Roger Federer is .
He is the heart of tennis 🎾.
No player evokes such magical feelings as Federer's play .
So what can we learn from this?
NEVER EVER DOUBT The GOAT EVEN IF HE IS SIXTY.
The are no words to describe this guy
split fink alpha
Two legends in this match, they are all winners
#CongratulationsRoger 🇨🇭

7:20 Federer should have done this against Djokovic in that heart breaking point in final.
Federer tried to do this in his First serve of the first match point, However it was called out, so he went for a Safe second serve and allowed Djokovic to hit a passing shot.
peRFection! Let's get that 21st, Roger!
Silviu Tiplea In your sleep....😂😂😂
Few tactical observations from my side:
Roger was extremely careful about his slice, he sliced or knifed rather, mostly down the line where grass is relatively thicker and of course to avoid Rafa running around his forehand, the same can't be done on successfully on clay Vs Rafa
Roger went to Rafa's strength i.e forehand to show that he isn't afraid but did it very tactically. Again, served down the T on duece court to forehand. Roger was so precise there.
He came over the/top spin backhand right from get go including returns, knowing that he would get the rhythm later on. Which exactly happened in 3rd and 4th set, he was ready to play backhand forehand punching vs Rafa. I myself have a one handed backhand. Once I hit few in the middle I turn a monster on backhand side :p
Rafa was body serving instead wide sliders in the first but went back to age old tactics which surprised me a bit. But Roger didn't give any breathing space after 2nd set.
That backhand whip on the last point was what let him set up the next shot low to Nadal's backhand, which he ended up overcooking, giving him the victory. Nadal for his part was doing everything possible to keep Roger pinned on the baseline and not step forward and letting that backhand fire. The tactical play of this match was of another level.
Federer's bh seemingly has evolved into a new dimension, this will make more troubles to novak. I. Think Roger's ready to win it.
Djokovic is a better server than Nadal and the best returner in the game. That's going to be the difference in the Finals. He will extract errors from the Swiss as the match wears on. Federer's best chance is to finish the match in 4 sets. If the match goes the distance Djokovic will end up defending the title.
Nah man I am fed fan ...but fed can't beat djoko...he is awesome man..his ground cover and both backhand and forehand are piercing
@@celestialspartan7977 Also, Novak hits his backhand a bit deeper and low, while Nadal's forehands are bit shorter and bounces more, which allowes Roger to unleash the Neo BH from inside the baseline. It's gonna be a totally different match. Hope Fed's backhand doesn't crumble under pressure. The slices are gonna play a part.
He needs to bash that BH down the line like Wawrinka. That is the only way Djokovic can be beaten.
@@celestialspartan7977 djoko could barely even handle roberto
is it scary that this seems like the best Federer has looked for the past 8 or 9 years?
yea, what to say about Novaks game then,he play under his level...
@@darkodarko3967 Federer played under this level as well so it's the same. Plus Nole is way better than Rafa at the moment everywhere except for Clay so that too... Nole should have ran over Fed being 6 years younger.
@@federicorusso4378 Djoko didn't play like in ao,he was at 70%..so then Rafa have to ran Fed too...
I think 2012 federer is much better than this
2017 was definitely better. 2012 isn't even comparable. I'd even argue 2014-15 were scarier versions of Fed.
That one handed backhand has to be one of the most elegant things ever!
Omg federer is so unbelievable. He show who's the king of grass. This win will give him more strength, confidence and inspiration to win the finals.
Only all the match points Nadal saved could be a 5 minutes highlights
