Career record of 107-129. One title. Career high rank of 42. Never got to the quarters of a slam... If by excellent you mean the definition of below average, then sure.
At my hometown local tourney Ive seen Fed at many times up to current but missed the 2002 thru 2006 Fed that lm feeling the tennis masterclass the best. Now he is there again 2017- 2018.
Beautiful tennis by both players, who play with the fundamentals of the game and utilise the entire court. Scott may not have reached the top 10, but you compare his game with the baseline grinding crap of many of the top 10 players today, it's sad how tennis has downgraded in quality over the years. The backhand by Scott at 5:17 is a thing of beauty.
Yeah, if Draper had gotten it back, it would have been an easy winner for Roger. The only way he could have won that point was by Federer choking and putting it in the net/wide.
Wow what a great match this was! I am loving all these old school videos of Federer! Scott Draper was an excellent player!

Well, in this match he was playing way above his ranking's level, here he looks like a top 10 at least. Sure gave Federer a run for his money.
Looking at they way Scott plays he was definitely a great prospect but I think a dodgy knee ended his chances
He made top 50, in the world, what are you top 50 in? Typing on your keyboard ?
Mark miths they’re right. Draper was below average. Top 50, sure, but not “excellent” by any means.
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.

Cris Alexander what do you mean ??
Federer is playing with magic & love that he lost from being burned out just being ah job. No more...its his passion
Who is here after AO2020 quarter final match where Federer saved 7mp too??
Never knew about this Draper chap. He looked very good indeed and I wonder what happened to him
Knees.

Or the top 40...
Agreed
More volleys than In the last 10 years of the entire circuit
It looked as though federer was going to win the point like 99% anyway with the lob well before the line call even came.

Drapper one of the finest
It shoulda been a replay of the point at 6-5 tiebreak? How can you have the point be in Roger’s favor when line ump changed the call?
Hi friend, how have this quality? What program used? Thanks
Oh man, to think if that lady hadn't made that terrible line call it would have been Scott Draper who went on to win 21 grand slams.
its unlikely he would have had a good shot at that ball anyways!
doubt that ;-) but i always wondered why Draper didnt have more success. On some days he really was firing on all cylinders. He was fun to watch.
20 slams, but maybe 21 before long
RIP logic
