I mean Federer was playing incredible in 2015. Won 7 titles and made 5 finals. If it wasn't for the Serbian he would have won 2015 wimb, us open and probably 2016 AO.
@@eyeofhorus1301If you watch tennis for the tennis and not just for the players, you would see that Djokovic's game and ball striking are incredible to watch.
@eyeofhorus1301 it is a crying shame that djokovic fanatics are propagandizing that federer was finished after 2012 vs novak and people are believing it when in fact federer was so close on winning a few m1000 and 2 grandslams against him even after his prime 😢😢
@@eyeofhorus1301 Everything is true except for the fact that he was not in prim, he definitely was in prime in 2015 just like 2004 to 2007, 2009,2012,2017 half...these were his prime years
When Roger played even more agressive than usual and had "it" that day, noone had a chance on a fast surface. because he took away so much time for his opponent, when he took balls that early. the pressure was insane.
@@brunofernandez2906all those matches roger made lot of errors which novak capitalized as usual..novak's win/loss depends on roger's unforced errors count
@goderer2057 Federer beat him three times in 2015, and played at a high level even when he lost in the same year. At 38 years old nearly, federer almost won wimbledon having to face nadal in semifinal and djokovic in the final. He lost to djokovic but on the razor edge in that final.
I mean he was playing in his home country and the courts were so fast, he wanted to put on a show no doubt. Beautiful tennis! The level of tennis he played against Nadal, oh my lord lol 😮
The true genius of Roger? Variety of shot and movement. Watching men's tennis these days really drives that home for me. I knew it 20 years ago, but watching some these men's US Open matches is like watching a game of old school computer pong. I was watching the Medvedev\Sinner match and screaming, "Move your damned feet!" at BOTH guys. Ugh. So many flat footed shots in that match...
This is the year when Federer finally started playing with a 97 inch racquet. It completely skyrocketed his game. One can only wonder what would have happened if he wasn't playing with a 90 for the previous 12 years.
@@vijayendranvijay4538Cincinnati was rogers favorite especially where he played quick aggressive tennis on a fast court..it took one bsd match in 2018 to lose to djokovic
2014-Australian Open 2016 was the prototype of what Federer would have become in 2017 to 2018. Just the Neo backhand wasn't there but it started to show up in some cases.
12 finals in a by 2015 and 10 in a row! Ya its not debatable. Still just like Novak and Rafa can compete and win a few from him under these conditions. Just like Roger was just barely the inferior player to Rafa on clay. The gap looks bigger in results than in the actual matches.
@@ryaniam22 Federer is a great clay player, but he is not 'barely' the inferior player to Rafa on clay. Djokovic is closer to Nadal than Federer on clay, but there's no way he isn't 2-3 levels below Nadal on the dirt.
It’s proto neo backhand. Neo backhand was much more confident. Get inside the baseline, stand tall and deliver with confidence. This backhand is still not there.
@@Sven_Guitar I think so. For example, in Wimbledon 2019 he beat Rafa in the semi and 2 MP against DJoker in the final. Had excellent backhands. If he had beaten Rafa and Djoker back 2 back at the age of 38, he would probably be undisputed goat. I think God was jealous so he threw Fed under the bus with some nasty bad luck haha.
@@ArnHaz Thank you again, I really like his 2019 matches (and backhands)! Yes, even Boris admitted that Fed was the better player in this final against Nole... How fit Roger was at this age! Even at his last Wimbledon (with just one leg) he did some superb shots! He is the Goat, in my opinion!
@@Sven_Guitar if goat is defined as the number of slams, then he is not. But there is more to tennis than numbers. It is also about giving spectators joy through playing tennis. And no one has won so much while simultaneously playing tennis that can be called performance art than Federer. He is unparalleled in that regard. That is why there are so many Fed channels on YT. Art sells.
That final made me believe in something else for what he could do. Didn't know it meant 2017's success, but there was belief

We will be lucky to see a more complete player again in our lifetime. FedEx is definitely a once in a century player.

This video is a great example of that suffocating feeling Roger's opponents always remark.
Federer, a magical piece of art. Missing Roger's tour presence, but Raz, you're making us relive those years of excellence. Thanks Raz!! 👍👍🙏🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤
Nadal was trash all year, then out of nowhere played great against him. Thank God he won that one.
Federers forehand them volleys are unreal, powerful poetry
I am a Novak fan for me Nole is the 🤴 of tennis. but roger is 👌 gifted
No one can stop RF when he plays like this
Pretty sure Djokovic put Roger in his place in all big matches that season.

Thanks for posting this, RF - what a legend 😮
He's sharp as a tack throughout. Keep them coming Raz, the summaries of a tournament are great. 4K views in 1 day, I'd like to know all these people!

Magic tournament from Roger !
Tennis is done. No federer makes it feel like theres a HUGE void. Once Nadal and Novak are gone, its not even worth watching anymore.
형님은 기계적인 컨트롤 반응속도 미쳈어요
Roger's shotmaking was so exciting to watch. It was not just grinding down the opponent, but actually beating him with sheer brilliance.
Federer to Kukushkin: "How dare you not to get a bagel?"
It makes me so sad that nobody is even coming close to this level of playstyle....Now its just baseline 40 shots rallies
Mesmerezing
He was playing like he was double-parked
Never seen Federer play this aggressive on a hard court before
Watch his master's cup matches from 2003 onwards.
He was very aggressive in cincy 2015 whole tournament and also in IW 2017 especially the match against rafa
See Shanghai 2014 or 2015

Kohlschreiber was one of those lower ranked players who often gave the big 4 a run for their money
some great matches here esp QF and Final
Genius only comes around very infrequently. Lucky to have lived during this era and watched Feds live.
What the TV doesn't show is his wrist work at contact
Anyone else sob while watching this man? Angelic.

However much people like the goat debate, it's pretty uncontroversial to say that RF is the fast court GOAT.

At first glance, thought it was Bob Mortimer at 12:44
Kohlschreiber has a pretty good backhand. Did he retire?
Yes. He had a good game. Very underrated and fun to watch. Of course most one handers often are. Maybe because it's rare now.
@franks2910 yeh I won a fair bit of coin over the years betting on phillip
My toxic trait is thinking I have the speed and skillset to play this aggressive style of tennis in my next match and succeed 🤣
Isn’t that already the “Neo” backhand that we see here?
It’s proto neo backhand. Neo backhand was much more confident. Get inside the baseline, stand tall and deliver with confidence. This backhand is still not there.

Getting old and bold.
Tbh i don't think there is a more aggressive player than 2017 federer. This one is not that impressive compared to it
