To small a head for my taste but the precision, control the racquet had Fed could hit insane angles and the heavy weight the racquet had along with raquet head speed Fed generated power and penetrating shots.
Enjoy the journey, there are a lot of game Federer matches. I would stay home change plans etc to watch a Federer match live whether it is a slam or a Tier 1 tournament.
This match was near to 3 hours and it indicates that tennis at that time was interesting and was full of skills and not like today where all the players play the same game wait and wait till opponents mistakes
Great highlights! Thanks! Sadly I didn't follow tennis until the 2006 US Open, and from then I was hooked as a Fedfanatic. While he's still awesome now even at 39, he has lost the some of that spring in his step and fluidity in his motion that he possessed in his prime. Although he usually dominated his opponents, there were tight matches like this one in which he had to come up clutch. Haas was a terrific player with a wonderful backhand. Not sure why he ran around his backhand to hit his forehand which was inferior to his backhand.
It’s always blown me away just how desperately Federer wanted to win EVERY single tournament. When you’re winning the majority of the big tournaments, one would think it would be hard to get motivated sometimes. Back during his dominant peak, Federer still yelled at the end of really tough matches at the majors as if his life depended on it. The same goes for Djokovic and Nadal. The competitive obsession, and addiction to winning of those 3 guys has just been a site to behold.
Alejandro Yáñez me referí a a técnica,al caso porque los ajustes que hizo después hasta 2017, fueron por la presión del efecto de la bola de Nadal. En cuanto efectividad tienes razón.
@@donnieMrtrump still Your initial comment is wrong, Federer's backswing was wider in 2006 than it was in 2019. That year it was already very small & short and by 2021 he basically didn't have a back swing
Tommy had one weakness/his head/....joke aside,he couldn't take the forehand early enough thus couldn't generate the power and the angle...made him vulnerable
@@WuzzaWombat they didn't play in finals from 2008-2014 wimby then they played Wimby 2014 over 5 sets (an all time classic match) Wimby 2015 over 4 sets, USO 2015 over 4 sets Wimby 2019 over 5 sets, an all time classic, and Federer spanked him in every stat and probably would've won if not for the brand new 12-12 tiebreak (he had more breaks, more break chances, and more RETURN points won than novak lmao) So yeah sure, but it's a bit misleading. The real stat is fed hasn't beaten him in a major since 2012 -- when he was 31 and novak 25
@@WuzzaWombat yeah he should've. Federers 20 slams is honestly a disappointment-- the man generates more chances than anybody I've ever seen, and capitalizes on the least. 2010, 2011 USO semis again novak 2015 uso final against novak (3/23 break chances or some dumb shit like that) 2019 wimby obviously
I remember this match! Great admiration for Haas digging deep playing agressive and pushing Federer to five sets! Top notch match!
Federer was nursing an injury and still beat everyone. GOAT.
What was injured? Edit: I see the ankle brace
@@mskcouric Yeah he was with that problem since TMC 2005, in which he almost beat everyone as well.
Tommy Haas beautiful strokes....
God I miss that 2004-2006 forehand. He should never have changed it. It was a weapon of mass destruction.
He did not he just could not do it after years !
Fed said he generated more power on forehand with his Wilson 90 head size. Nothing to do with technique..He hits his forehand the same way..
@@Kidgloves1984 he definitely changed the technique look more closely
@@Kidgloves1984 that racket was a weapon . loved it to death. fav racket of all time

Thats duo to heavy balls and slow surfaces.
Slow down the speed of the sourface , plus heavy balls was the shittiest decision ever.

Similar styles. I love such matches- Federer vs Haas
5th set here is probably one of the best Fed ever played at AO.
NinaNoni1 this was a very hard tournament for Federer
NinaNoni1 maybe, but 2017 AO 5th set final is pretty close.
@@goxaviergo11 1-4th set of AO 2009 take it.
So how does Andre Agassi love to say?
07:15 maybe best point
2:18 I think 🙂
7:17 WOW
15:17 WOW BIS
The thumbnail picture looks like Mardy Fish not tommy hass
The slap forehands that Fed hit in this tournament were insane.
2004,5,6,7,17,18 backhand
matt morgan where is the 2003. His backhand was crazy in that year.
Lol. Imagine thinking his backhand from 2004-7 was better than in 2015
Reek fuck ur existence
Reek well, it’s right. Fucking idiot.
@@Diego-ky2nj Yeah, Federer's backhand was amazing when he lost to Ramos-Vinolas, Monfils, and Seppi.
man you gotta show some set points and reactions dude... this is hardly worth anything without big points.
So true. Needs the big moments too
What a roar
Esta superficie acomodaba mas a Federer en Australia qe la de ahora, la cambiaron y Djokovic se hizo con el Abierto de Australia.
Weak era my arse. Haas would smoke Cilic and Berdych
Haas even beat Federer at Stuttgart last year, while 39 years old.
Has Haas(no pun intended) ever won a GS?Or made it to the final?
but not Rafa or Novak or Andy
Haas wouldn't have smoked Cilic or Berdych but I agree that Federer's Dominant era wasn't a weak era
@SlipKid84 Yeah but implication that hass would do anything to cilic or berdych is funny
11:18 young Sam groth
The same Federer come back to 2019
Look at his forehand, is the same now.
Jose Antonio Fernández jajaja are you kidding me?
This Federer’s version is superior than now
