The BIG 3 pushed each other to incredible heights -- THE PINNACLE OF TENNIS.
Absolutely crazy what we witnessed
How so? Federer wasn't really being pushed in 2004-2007.
@@puckutubesux7356 That's only 3 years! What's wrong with you?
@@puckutubesux7356 Djokovic worshipper. That didn't take long!
@@shapursasan9019 Federer won 12 of his slams in those years, and most people think that was his prime. So what did he get pushed to?
We miss watching you play Roger
@z7alq83said no one ever
Steph curry randomly pulling up to the interview was wild
rich people doing rich people things for clout. Nothing random about it
@@troycambofor clout? Wdym they already got the clout lol
When you retired,.something in me died... but here we are maestro still watching
Roger has the most beautiful style of playing - it's not just about winning but something beyond that.
During his sporting life it was about records and being the best by numbers (ie "winning") THE SLAM COUNT was a dominant headline when he played, but now that Djokovic SURPASSED him in concrete achievements the conversation has shifted to aesthetics lol
@@troycamboGet off the internet, Novak. 😂
@@troycambo nah it’s not a competition to me. I prefer Roger’s style and I think many people do too. But if you like Novak, his style, and/or his records, that’s up to you. I personally feel records are meant to be surpassed btw, because younger players learn from their predecessors (Roger surpassed Sampras in records, then Novak surpassed Roger in records).
Same, the reason I'm playing tennis is 90% because of Roger Federer, just the way he plays blows my mind how elegant, but when I film myself, it is terrible.
@@troycamboi m non tennis fan..i dont care of statistics..i love Federer coz he can only make me watch tennis because of his beautiful game and his cuteness... everyone else is so boring ..whats the point of statistics if i switch the channel after one set😂😂😂😂..
Roger Federer is such a gentle man. A great model for the tennis world. An inspiration for many, then, till nowadays.
Wish him good health. A happiness.
Best wishes.
He's nothing but a talented tennis player who is also an establishment shill.
Djokovic is the man who stands who principle.
Fed is the man who says whatever will please the masters whose hands he eats from.
@@troycambolet people admire whoever they want to..live and let live.
Curry just chilling there waiting to say hi to Roger, amazing.
Yes in todays satanic world we worship money and people who can hit a ball.
I still can't and probably never be able to believe he has retired 😢
Me too.
He is not. He dont play only but he isnt retired
@@fraerot haha good one
My favorite tennis player and will remain to be so, Roger!
It’s so beautiful that even tho Roger and Nadal were rivals, they ended up building a beautiful friendship through that rivalry. A lot more athletes should follow their blueprint. Straight class acts
Nadal is like the middle brother. Both Roger and Novak mentioned him as their biggest rival.
Nah. Despite the fact that Nole has the most slams and Olympic gold...Roger and Rafa are still the older brothers. Nole is the youngest one who still feels he has something to prove.😅
We love you, Roger! ❤️ That scene with both Roger & Rafa crying just takes your heart! 😢
If you love him so much how come you can't even spell his name⁉😂
@@quentincrisp6933 My bad! 😆
I never thought I could enjoy watching a player as much as I did Roger.
He was an artist on the court, for sure.
My favorite basketball player showing up to pay respects to my favorite tennis player. The Maestro and the Chef. Legends!
Roger Federer is a true class act!
Never get tired of watching Federer talk and move. King and the face of modern tennis.
Roger is everything; elite player, classy and handsome guy, respectful, not an attention seeker, true champion and role model❤
The same guy who was going around publicly calling Nadal "one-dimensional", Djokovic "a joke" and Murray a grinder 😂 mostly after sore losses. "Classy" and "respectful" indeed!
@@huzceronly Nole has a problem with that😂 the rest never really cared, they just got along.
@@roddo1955 Nadal and Federer used have public spats until Nadal was no longer a threat off clay after Jan 2014 (Federer was never any competition to Nadal on clay with 2-14 and never taking more than 1 set at RG). So they were no longer rivals in any meaningful sense. Nadal called out Federer as a fake "gentleman" in 2012 over ATP schedules. Murray talked about a player who was an ah. ole in the dressing room when he came on the tour and it's obvious that he was talking about Federer.
My hero
with Federer we lived so much magical touch and we Always love them and him
Thanks for asking about exhibitions… I am praying to see Roger on court again for some fun exos. Roger it has been two years now… ages! Don’t leave it too late!
I think that was his plan but his knee was still bothering him. Hope that's doing better.
The man who inspires me in so many ways…! On court and off court. My lifetime idol. Tennis, dress up, you name it👍👌👌
A person of great class & style, on and off the court.
Roger Federer will always be an inspiration and a good ambassador of the tennis world
I followed Roger from his first day until is last excellent tennis history with Nadal and friendship.
Roger Federer, You capture the heart with exceptional warmth that You've got ❤❤
🙄
Roger Federer ❤
As a young boy always wanted to be pro athlete , of course picking the right sport at the right time with love and passion and preparation and having the good fortune of good parents who support and do not push the young kid to hard to make it a hard job . If all of that can happen . You can create a rare , humble champion still young enough to enjoy a amazing life and it can be seen in his eyes and felt . And it does not happen over night . If I was 8 yrs old watching Roger from the start of his career , he would be the one I would watch. Thats why top athletes like Curry really know what it takes and show their appreciation as does Roger to Curry . Good to see .
My two favourite athletes… so inspirational man
Roger… We- your avid loving fans miss you and Rafa very,
very , very much!
We love you and Rafa forever
more…💖💖💖
Thank you for your book..
I couldn’t wait to have it..💖💖💖💖💖
I love love love Roger ❤️
A true positive guy, never will he say anything negative for tennis 🎾🎾🎾
And Stef Curry another favorite 💕
LOVE both these guys who represent "good" in sports 👍
Roger is such a class act
he is
I like how when Steph came in Federer straight up exited interview mode and Steph became the most important person in the room.
The same guy who was going around publicly calling Nadal "one-dimensional", Djokovic "a joke" and Murray a grinder 😂 mostly after sore losses. "Classy" and "respectful" indeed!
@@huzcer Federer and Murray are objectively far classier and respectful than Nadal and Djokovic. They've taken so many tactical MTOs in Slam finals, ALWAYS timing it so that it's their opponent's serve exclusively.
The Nadal and Djokovic fans have a mistaken belief gamesmanship in actual matches OK as long as you say meaningless compliments in a press conference afterward. And Murray is not entirely innocent either - him insulting Rosol (while he's preparing to serve) is pretty crazy.
Any real tennis player will acknowledge Federer is the competitor you actually want to play against because if he throws you off your momentum it's with his actual tennis.
@@MacraggePeasant sure sure it's all about wearing white suits with shorts and being an absolute sore loser doesn't matter 😂 and Djokovic is the devil incarnate for going to the toilet at the end of a set once a match
Miss you Federer
Oh yeah he's a tennis legend Roger Federer!
From Switzerland but loved all over the world..
Forgot...CONGRATS on your new book, Roger ❤️
Two of my favourite athletes ❤️😊
El genio que nos hizo feliz dentro y fuera de una cancha de tenis 🎾.
Gracias por tanto ROGER FEDERER ❤
Roger is not only a legendary player. He is an emotion.
He is an emotion? That's incoherent.
@@SR-fs2fd why did you feel like it?
Yes...and the GOAT!
Federer has the legendary record of having 10 tournament finals with a deciding set tiebreak and winning 1 out of the 10. But of a choker in those sort of situations
Even though he retired from tennis, his business moves have been immaculate. Stakeholder in On Running with his own signature tennis shoes, new Wilson RF racquet lineup, a book and documentary, and more to come!
Ah... a socialist who only thinks of money has arrived.
Federer the Greatest Ever, and Steph Curry has that Federer class about him, nice surprise... greatness reckognizes greatness 👍
True Legend, True Icon, True Gentlemen Roger Federer ❤🙏
I haven’t watched a full tennis match since he retired.😢
Greatest player of all time
Tennis is so so privileged to have Roger ....tennis became so so beautiful then 😍
Growing up watching tennis in the year 2000-2012 or so, part of me does wish that Federer retired in the year 2010. In that way, there wouldn't be this whole 'goat debate' thing going around, Federer would be the undisputed best player of the 2000s, and Djokavic of the 2010s.
Great person....best icon of sports...best
I love this man
The real maestro of tennis of all times
His Majesty. Such a warm, classy, charming, lovable, friendly, charismatic, elegant, eloquent man. I could go on and on and on...
aka, his serene highness
Don't put sportspeople on a pedestal.
Esp a establishment shill like Fed.
Djoko is the only principled player of the rich ones.
2:58 "he wanted to ask me something." I hope that doesn't mean a farewell at this year's Laver Cup. As much as I'd love to see Federer "sub in" as a doubles partner with Rafa in his final match, I hate the idea that he didn't get to retire with a deep run into one of the prestigious clay tournaments.
Yeah it's unfortunate, but sometimes you gotta play with the cards you're dealt with. From what I recall, he planned to retire this year and I don't think he'll be in-form to be a contender next year. I would love to be wrong, but I highly doubt he will be able to make a deep run at any big tournament at this stage of his career.
Nadal is a dreamer at this stage.. They were going to put on a thing for him at Roland Garros but he wouldn't say that it was his last so it was cancelled
He is going to retire on his own terms however he chooses.
@@ksc743 in effective terms he has been retired for a while already.
@@huzcer like I said on his own terms. He hasn't confirmed where or when. He won't leave without saying goodbye. He's the kind of guy who doesn't like a fuss.
Our Rog is such a nice fella.
This visual book is a must-buy!
No way, Steph and Roger, the second best tennis player and second best basketball player
My favorite to watch. So classy and a great guy. We miss you, Roger!
Great interview.
Always a class act, well done Roger.
I wish they would either do doubles or veteran tournaments for gods like this we need more and there’s plenty left to play.
Rogers tennis was just from another world, it was a different experience. Watching sundays us open final seemed kinda boring to be honest compared to a classic federer - nadal match in a slam final.
Curry comes in clutch on and off the court 😂 just a clutch human being
Confirmed for me, I expect Nadal to announce retirement soon. I knew Novak wasn’t feeling right this week. He must have the same news, they need to prep for a goodbye at Laver.
I doubt Novak is inspired to retire over an early loss at the US Open. When he just won Olympic Gold this summer. Clearly he’s still got the ability to win tournaments.
Always a class act. An amazing human being. He is missed.
I am very happy to see The GREATEST ROGER FEDERER !!!!!! Good Luck for YOUR FAMILY DEAR ROGER FEDERER !!!!!!
Have a feeling he is going to make a comeback!
Truly missed
Its a dream come true to watched him personally played in Rod Laver Arena on in 2018 for the first week. It took me a fortune to have that opportunity. His style is one of a kind a talent given by our Great Lord.
He looks better and better..😳
He is a gentleman
Beautiful man legend gem 💎🎾🩵🎾🩵🎾
Savannah is such a great interviewer, she got to cover a lot with Roger !
😶
Steph Curry and Roger Federer in the same room seems like a ‘worlds colliding’ situation a la George Costanza
Can't Stands Yah!
@@xtremevp12lol
Djoki never lossed a final at Aussie open, nadal never lossed a final at French..FED lossed four finals at wimbledon to his 2 rivals 3 to djoki and 1 to nadal...Fed failed against nadal /djoki only winning 33% of thier GS matches!! Fed has a losing H2H record agaisnt both..And 50% of fed titles were on the B circuit 250/500
Somebody teach the reporter some maths haha
Knowing maths is unamerican.
Coming from a Nadal fan, Roger is the GOAT. Everyone has the right to choose who their GOAT is like in every other sport. I don't understand why in every single post Djokovic fans feel like they have to argue on his behalf. You can't make him the GOAT for everyone. I have yet to see one Djokovic fan who has yet to say that Federer is their GOAT. I will wait.
Okay… but YOUR goat is different than THE goat. Djokovic has every significant record in existence, has the most well rounded game, accomplished the most with the most against him, and had the most significant wins against Nadal and Federer both. There’s not really any good argument for anybody besides Djokovic being the GOAT. It’s one of the most obvious GOATs compared to any other sport.
@@kikamik7241 Why on earth would anyone, who don't totally has lost his marbles, would claim that Federer is the GOAT?
Results speaks for itself!
Also Novak won all three Wimbledon finals when they played and other Slam matches, despite several match points against him etc.
Please, do your research before writing.
Even though you probably adore Roger: Prince Charming...😮💨🙂↔️😃
delusional Nadal fan claiming Federer is the goat. You can say I like the way Federer or Nadal plays the game, but in almost every stat, Novak destroys the other two, so Novak is the undisputed goat
The GOAT debate isn't meant to be a personal thing, it's should be objective and scientific. As soon as you involve emotions and personal favourites into a GOAT debate, the term itself loses meaning.
@@jack8002 I am sure the lady interviewing Federer here knows the stats but she said otherwise because that is who her GOAT is. Just let people be.
Roger!!!🐐👑
"What made you want to do this? - Vanity!"
What is there to get triggered if Federer is called goat🙄. He is a maestro and talented tennis player one of a kind.Tomorrow somebody calls nadal a goat i would be equally happy cause he is exceptionally amazing too and also Djokovic is no doubt a legend..why you all cant respect the abilities and awesomeness of these three..its petty to fight .all three are the amazing..all three will always be called goat by some or other and you all can do nothing about it.thats how it always happens in every sport.❤
It'e so funny, to see all fans of others tennis players watching an interview of the true GOAT to then feeling insecure and offended because the rest of the world don't think like them. If they don't want to hear this they shouldn't been seeing it. It's so none sense.
It's funny that the benchmark was slams until federer went behind. Then federer said himself after 20 years of trying to win as many slams as possible in June 2021 as he went behind. "It seems it's all about Grand slam titles nowadays and I didn't like that". Most hypocritical thing said in sports? As Roddick said there is no sane argument but Djokovic for THE GOAT. anything else is just a favourite
@@huzcer also about weeks at no.1... remember Rodger and cake with number of weeks? LOL
Rodger is fake as they come. LOL
Fed is still the master..
Dr. Roger, the indisputable Greatest Of All Time aka G.O.A.T. 🏆🏆
Legend ❤
The One
GOAT
I love it that Roger, Rafa and Novak always reminisce and comment on their foursome with Murray over the years and yet we have casuals all over TH-cam yelling that the 'big 4' never existed. They keep trying to slide in Stan as if he's an equals of Andy while The Great Roger who is his friend doesn't. Armchair tennis fans are hilarious.
Anybody could have guessed that he would have been just fine in most sports. But who would have imagined him leafing in basketball shots like that? It is needless to mention what the other guy next to him can do with a basketball. But for someone who isn't a competitive basketball player, his shots were kissing the rim on their way in.
Cant believe he mentioned the big 3 butvthen added Murray. Love Murray been British but he is not in same league
Out of 3 of them Roger worked the least to get what he got. Endorcements love him of course esp Swiss but what a talent! Born to play tennis. He and his polos: iconic! First I thought the book has RG trophy on the cover but it's actually Australian open trophy. Why not Wimbledon?
Are you kidding me, you have 2 sports icons and you don’t film them together for an hour?! Missed opportunity!
Djokovic is GOAT
Comeback play tennis please Roger you looks good 😉🇨🇭🏆💪🎾👍
Sería posible que alguien, le explicara a Mr. Federer la diferencia que hay entre contaminación y dopaje. Esto le respondería, la pregunta que se esta haciendo. Por qué no suspendieron a Sinner. Los otros casos son diferentes. Yo soy una perdona común y corriente. Entonces no le puedo explicar a él, que es un ser tan importante. Pero sería bueno que alguien la diferencia de los casos. Con todo el respeto a Mr Federer.
Roger e Rafa: Splendidi... Con voi come esempio nei miei 25 anni di insegnamento con i bambini. Ora abbiamo un movimento in Italia straordinario, comunque voi... (Maestro Italiano) ❤️🎾🙏🤝🤗
My hero academia
Even at crying, he is the best ❤
Mira que lo admiro! ,pero creo que no ha escuchado a Sinner sus explicaciones una y otra vez, ya que está ahí podía preguntarle ,sería algo positivo para el tenis , y la explicación más clara el ATP ya está bien! Con todo mi respeto hacia el , NO ESTOY EN NADA DE ACUERDO, SINNER HABRÁ SENTIDO TRISTEZA ES SU IDILO, , " VAMOS SINNER "❤❤❤
Hey Roger , we love you. We love your career but post career. Why don’t you try to do something for the profession and for fellow tennis players and better their lives and the income disparity between the top 20 and the rest do some good ….instead of trying to make more $$ from books.
A little too restless interviewer, missed some great opportunities to dwell on interesting statements by Federer to elaborate on. But good of her to insist that he is not one of the best player, but obviously THE best player of all time.
One of the better players of the early 2000s no doubt.
Finished up third in a tough era. No disgrace in that
He should become a cinema actor.., he looks like one
He looks great and I love him❤ but I've watched his special Swiss ads and Roger can't act. He's too self-conscious!
@@ksc743
I don't agree, of course he needs training and aclimatation to the acting world, but he's very good in front of the cameras, he's best actor than lots of real actors by his own presence and composure.
He just needs training by professional coaches, like all actors...
@@mapefpada7681
actually, I've always found him a little shy and awkward in front of cameras, unless he's on a tennis court, but it's also something I find incredibly endearing about him. Yes I suppose he could take acting classes but I think we're wasting out time here bc I don't think Roger's aim in life is to be an actor.
💙🎾😄 c est notre FEDERER 🇨🇭
Troy Point
Love Roger, just wish he wouldn't hv given the lame Today Show the time of day!
Goat tings
