This is my fav men's match in a very long time. It's to eerie to watch Dimitrov play Federer at this level. Their games are sooooo similar. The only thing Dimitrov is missing is the confidence. He can still break through and win a bunch of Grand Slams
Dimitrov could have waited another day to have the greatest match of his career. It was the last chance to see a Nadal / Federer match in the USO and he spoiled us. 😂😂
The super offensive style was a key feature in his later years, especially against younger top players. Remember he played very similarly against Novak too in both Wimby and ATP finals in 2019 and even in 2015 American summer when he introduced SABR. I think it was a tactic of going all out on his strengths and smothering his opponents early instead of going into a longer battle where his legs might have betrayed him.
Tennis will never be more beautiful than this. Dimitrov unfortunately lacks the tactics of the master, but technically these two are the caviar of tennis.
Over a man virtually in a wheelchair, a back and neck injury, wow, he beat a man playing on one leg, what a coward, and he lost next match anyway- got real surprised, when he met a fully fit, outrageously good player.
Worst thing that happened to Grigor was being labelled 'Baby Fed' by the media as he has let that affect him psychologically which has affected his game in a negative way with lack of self belief. He has all the skills and shots but the difference between great players and the 'greatest' players in any sport is always between the ears!
I dont think he really has all the shots. I think he's too gangly for a one handed backhand and he's usually off balance with his footwork. It's too late now but he would have probably been a better player with a Nalbandian-like two-handed backhand.

Federer was up 2 sets to 1 and it was 4-5 in the 4th Set and 40-Love with Federer blowing 7 break points on Dimitrov's serve; then the bottom completely fell out and he only won 2 games the rest of the way!
@GTS Kyrios is hard 4me2 like. Showing off but not winning. Asking for cheers from the crowd but can't give the crowd a victory. He's the first tennis player I don't care for. If he just played tennis he would be alright & not talk about players, especially those players that are better then him. Hard 4me2 like Kyrios. Show off that don't win but can play when his diaper is not wet.
@GTS I wish Kyrios dad would go out on the court & shake him up & tell him how foolish he looks when he dances just because he made a nice shot. Nadal, Novak & Federer do it all the time but they don't dance like clowns.
I hate when fed fans always attribute a loss to injury whether it is or not. He may have been in this match but grigor had a set and a fourth set break. Should be congratulating the opponent which is what I always try to do when my main man Rafa loses
He is not injured he is injured in Australian open 2020 It is clearly seen he is injured in Australian open semifinals Federer losing in straight sets to Djokovic is impossible at Australian open for sure
For most players like Dimitrov defeating Roger Federer is as important, or sometimes even more important than winning the entire tournament. The problem with that is that in order to achieve that goal they have to play beyond their means, whcih is an approach that diminishes their chances of defeating ther next opponent no matter who their next opponent may be
Its been 8 months almost already... Still remember 10.9., Federer was left with Medvedev, Wawrinka and Dimitrov in the half. I have really seen only Novak as the one who could stop Roger. The three players i mentioned before haven´t had a really good history on hard courts with Roger. Roger had 18-0 with Stan, 6-0 with Dimitrov and 3-0 with Daniil, added up its 27-0 on hard courts, with Dimitrov and Medvedev never beating him on any surface. I have to be honest and to say that i already seen Federer in the semis when i saw he played Dimitrov. In the other half, to be fair, everyone knew that Rafa will be the finalist. Rafa, who lost their last 6 meeting on hard courts and 7/8 played. Last three matches should´ve been easy for Roger. He choked Wimbledon even worse that year with not converting back to back match points on his serve. By winning that Wimbledon (by beating Novak and Rafa) and then winning US, Rafa would have 18, Novak 16 and Roger 22 GS titles and he would be untouchable. I hope I am wrong but i think that those 60 days will be deciding ones when we look in the future at who is the goat.
@@TheIntiruna Federer was never the favorite to win the US Open, Nadal was the clear and undisputable favorite to win the title, especially after Djokovic lost to Wawrinka. Nadal was the betting odds favorite for the US Open title, not Federer. Federer hasn't won the US Open since 2008, that was 12 years ago, and I forgot the last time he had a legit chance to win the title. On the other hand, Nadal has won 4 US Open titles in the 2010s, more than anyone in the decade. Nadal has dominated the USO in the 2010s decade with 4 USO titles, while Federer has won 0 USO titles in the last decade. Nadal is simply a superior USO player than Federer nowadays. The times when Federer dominated the USO are long time lost, Federer is 39. In addition, Nadal leads the H2H over Federer 8-5 in outdoor hard courts and 3-1 in Grand Slam matches on hard courts. Oh, and let's not forget Medvedev. Medvevev's big explosion came in late 2019, when he won 2 Masters 1000 and reached the USO 2019 final. Federer has never faced peak Medvedev, so his H2H with Medvedev is meaningless. I have no doubt that Medvedev was the favorite over 38 years old and slow Federer. Federer wasn't injured when he lost the second set to Dimitrov in the USO quarterfinals, Federer said himself he got injured and suffered back pain in the fourth set. Yet, Medvedev destroyed Dimitrov and defeated him in 3 sets in the USO semifinal. It shows Medvedev was in clearly superior form than 38 years old Federer, injured or not injured.
+Nakic Federer hasn't won 6 of the last 6 meeting on hard against Rafa, nor has he won 7 of the last 8 meetings. Federer has won 5 of the last 6 meetings against Rafa on hard and 6 of the last 8 matches against Rafa. Last 8 meetings between Rafa and Roger: 1. Australian Open 2014: Nadal won in 3 sets 2. Basel 2015: Federer won in 2 sets 3. Australian Open 201/: Federer won in 5 sets 4. Indian Wells 2017: Federer won in 2 sets 5. Miami 2017: Federer won in 2 sets 6. Shanghai 2017: Federer won in 2 sets 7. Roland-Garros 2019: Nadal won in 3 sets 8. Wimbledon 2019: Federer won in 4 sets P. S.: unless you are including the "match" of Indian Wells 2019, but that would be completely deceiving and misleading, because the match never took place. So that was not a match Federer won plating against Rafa, nor does it count in the offical ATP stats of the H2H as an extra victory in the overall H2H.
Nakic I’m just getting involved with This, tennis meaning and I’ve read more than watched. And so far, in my opinion Roger Federer is the best Tennis player this sport has had so far, his game , he’s played three different era’s 90s 00s and is still playing. That 5 set final at Sw19 with Novak was extraordinary, no wonder he didn’t have enough power here. That’s not to say he’s aged and slow just human . Oh yeah married dad with 4 kids. Wow comes to mind
He would have lost to Medvedev or Rafa Atleast , he was slow , injured and out of form . Better to lose to his pigeon Grigor than to Rafa in another final
What A Joy to listen to the racket hit the ball and the squeak of the shoes instead of having to listen to AAHhhh-oo-WAAhhhh for 3 or 4 frickin' hours! I don't want to mention any names but his initials are Rafael Nadal
POWERFUL FULL AND SUPER TOP RANKING PKAYERS IN THIS GAME............... BOTH PLAYERS IS ENERGY FULL, STAMINA FULL, STRONG FULL, TECHNICAL FULL, PRACTICE FULL AND POWERFUL............ BEAUTIFUL RETURN, POWERFUL SHOT, LOVELY SERVICE SEEN IN GAME............ VERY LABORIOUS AND TOFF GAME BUT GAME IS GAME, AND WINER IS WINER....................................
He is not injured at all it is false and lie actually as he played Laver cup also so how is that possible. Djokovic is injured that's why he didn't play Laver cup actually. Nadal injured in 2018 US Open thats why he gave up in the end and didn't play after that actually. Federer didn't get injured in Australian open 2020 also After the tournament he is struggling with injuries actually got surgery.
people should understand that this federer's defeat had more to do with his forehand letting him down than physical injury. federer does not need his top form to beat a player he has beaten 7 consecutive times. its his forehand which lets him down in tense matches, for e.g tsitsipas in aus 19. was really looking forward to FEDAL.
His forehand let him down because of injury. He was hitting even easy shots totally out. What was even more affected was his serve. If you watched in the game stats over the match, Federers 1st serve % went way down from the start.
I remember this game, Roger just ran out of gas in the fifth set, he wasnt the same after that wimbledon final, like he used up his final bit of strength in that final...
That has nothing to do with it lol. Roger had a back injury on the tournament. He didnt quit because he didnt want to finish the match that way. He didnt run out of gas
@kal Ke he was injured, shut up nobody cares --> that's like me saying Djokovic played horrible level of tennis in Wimbledon 2019 which is why Federer got so close which is true
The way he reached finals in his peak time it looks like it is weak era only How can he reach finals these many times 2004 to 2007 actually strange He reached 3 Grandslam finals in 2004 He reached 4 Grandslam finals in 2006 He reached 4 Grandslam finals in 2007 He reached 4 Grandslam finals in 2009 Something is odd actually how can he reach these many finals in a row without losing a set Also Djokovic is goat of tennis sport. It is weak era or not actually it looks like one sided only to me The players are losing in straight sets to him how is that possible.
I hope Grigor can bounce back after the split from Nicole Scherzinger. I hope Grigor finds someone who can keep him happy off court so that he can concentrate on court. Grigor Dimitrov is really talented and if can have his head in the right place, he can win a grand slam some day. To prove my case, he is happy off court here (when still with Nicole Scherzinger) and he plays amazing tennis to cause the upset.
This is 50% Federer playing injured and still went to 5 sets. For those who doubt he played injured, compare this level to the Wimbledon final. Night and day. His serve and groundstrokes have zero penetration and placement here after the third set. Had he won injured, he would have either pulled out or been creamed by Medvedev. Bad luck at the US Open for Federer for years. This reminds me of his US Open loss versus Robredo some years ago.
Fed was obvi grigs idol like the rest of the world and mimicked his game/strokes/racquet/walk/style/also stands in for fed on the occasional date night. Fed has the absolute cleanest, most economical, best bang for buck, most stylistic looking strokes in the game. Grig may have slight better wheels but mental and confidence and just about everything else goes to fed but both equally as cool.
huh, kinda a weird coincidence, but I'm watching this right after watching some atp cup highlights and dimitrov broke a string in both videos haha. I actually rarely see a player break a string considering they usually switch rackets whenever there's new balls. kinda funny. wonder if there's something dimitrov is doing to break strings more often.
For the exact reason that I was saying all along. It's unrealistic to expect more than 3 minute highlights the day after a match during tournament full swing with many matches going on and a bunch of other videos to create? Do people not get that actual people do these, and that it takes time?
Just love watching these two doing backhand swings, its so satisfying
Yes. Even more satisfying that Federer lost
Thiem's backhand vs Wawrinka's is way better
Much rather watch backhands worth watching. Such as wawrinka or thiem or even shapovalov
Their styles are very similar- fluid, full swing, onehanded.
@@colin0622 Roger has the best backhand of all time.

Sure he can. I think he's got another 3-4 years to win a few slams before it's too late. Look at Wawrinka. He was nearly 30 when he won his first.
sorry but Grisha is not winning Slams. it would be totally shocking if he got in to a final

of course Fed is always good at the net, but man he seemed like he was extra proficient with his volley game this match.
people should understand that this federer's defeat had more to do with his forehand letting him down than physical injury. federer does not need his top form to beat a player he has beaten 7 consecutive times. its his forehand which lets him down in tense matches, for e.g tsitsipas in aus 19. was really looking forward to FEDAL.
At Wimbledon backhands.... at crucial moments....
@man bat yeah.. right... just fakes it ...
@man bat he never retires mid match even if he is hurt unlike novak
@man bat Idiot !!!!
His forehand let him down because of injury. He was hitting even easy shots totally out. What was even more affected was his serve.
If you watched in the game stats over the match, Federers 1st serve % went way down from the start.
I remember this game, Roger just ran out of gas in the fifth set, he wasnt the same after that wimbledon final, like he used up his final bit of strength in that final...
That has nothing to do with it lol. Roger had a back injury on the tournament. He didnt quit because he didnt want to finish the match that way. He didnt run out of gas
@kal Ke he was injured, shut up nobody cares --> that's like me saying Djokovic played horrible level of tennis in Wimbledon 2019 which is why Federer got so close which is true
The way he reached finals in his peak time it looks like it is weak era only
How can he reach finals these many times 2004 to 2007 actually strange
He reached 3 Grandslam finals in
2004
He reached 4 Grandslam finals in 2006
He reached 4 Grandslam finals in 2007
He reached 4 Grandslam finals in 2009
Something is odd actually how can he reach these many finals in a row without losing a set Also
Djokovic is goat of tennis sport.
It is weak era or not actually it looks like one sided only to me
The players are losing in straight sets to him how is that possible.
What a match.............................
I think Federer feels slightly weird seeing basically identical style, identical forehands, backhands, serve and movement on the opposite side
Full match of dimitrov and federer please
It's like watching two Federers (or two Dimitrovs) in this match.
As of 2022, anyone gonna think this is Federer's last match in the US Open?
Update: it's official. He will retire after 2022 Laver Cup
I hope Grigor can bounce back after the split from Nicole Scherzinger. I hope Grigor finds someone who can keep him happy off court so that he can concentrate on court. Grigor Dimitrov is really talented and if can have his head in the right place, he can win a grand slam some day. To prove my case, he is happy off court here (when still with Nicole Scherzinger) and he plays amazing tennis to cause the upset.
I don't wish Nicole Scherzinger on anyone
Yep. My guy Lewis suffered badly and even lost to Jenson Button when he should have been challenging Vettel. Sportsmsn should just stay away from her.
This is 50% Federer playing injured and still went to 5 sets. For those who doubt he played injured, compare this level to the Wimbledon final. Night and day. His serve and groundstrokes have zero penetration and placement here after the third set. Had he won injured, he would have either pulled out or been creamed by Medvedev. Bad luck at the US Open for Federer for years. This reminds me of his US Open loss versus Robredo some years ago.
Robredo match was way worse
28 year old Federer (USO 2009) VS 28 year old Dimitrov (Uso 2019) would have been so lit
it would've been straight sets lol
Fed in 3 straight sets lol
No 3 in the world at 38 simple phenomenal
full match please
Two players with similar styles and tehnique
@ 06.09 - I love it when Federer shouts "bleep!"
"FUCK!" lol
Pretty sure that’s Dimi shouting “C’mon!”
Fed was obvi grigs idol like the rest of the world and mimicked his game/strokes/racquet/walk/style/also stands in for fed on the occasional date night. Fed has the absolute cleanest, most economical, best bang for buck, most stylistic looking strokes in the game. Grig may have slight better wheels but mental and confidence and just about everything else goes to fed but both equally as cool.
what happened? did Federer get hurt mid way thru the match? or he just got tired ?
10:23 amazing forhand
The 5th set crumbled pretty quickly for Fed
One can almost say that here and then along the game, the King got a small taste of its own medicine😁🤙
huh, kinda a weird coincidence, but I'm watching this right after watching some atp cup highlights and dimitrov broke a string in both videos haha. I actually rarely see a player break a string considering they usually switch rackets whenever there's new balls. kinda funny. wonder if there's something dimitrov is doing to break strings more often.
Hola este es un gran partido
Finally better highlights, but why now?
Wimbledon full uploads 🤣🤣😁
For the exact reason that I was saying all along. It's unrealistic to expect more than 3 minute highlights the day after a match during tournament full swing with many matches going on and a bunch of other videos to create?
Do people not get that actual people do these, and that it takes time?
Dimitrov is my favorite player,but I hope Roger wasn’t injured
He was, both back and neck.
Dimitovs form is world class
omg they play almost identical
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
