this Federer would have beaten any player on a hard or grass court from any era except maybe against prime Djokovic on hard court or prime Sampras on grass. 50/50 toss up.
Finally this full match ! I remember watching this on big TV middle of the night and coming back feeling on cloud nine ! Federer has this impeccable ability to make an utter demolition job totally beautiful and immensely entertaining! I remember John McEnroe called it greatest exhibition of tennis ever !
when people say nole had the best prime I always laugh. I've never seen from anyone this kind of peak. Between 2004 and 2007 Federer was the best player this planet ever had
indeed. he won this AO without dropping a set. won 21 sets in a row adding from the masters cup from 2006 he actually won 30 sets in a row. not too bad.
@@gratler His 23(6yrs) consecutive GS Semi's and 36(9yrs)consecutive Quarter's are up there with his most impressive records. Also, he made 10 consecutive GS finals, and is second with 8 as well. The 237 consecutive weeks at #1 is also next-level! All I know is, I miss watching him play. I will now miss Rafa as well, with Novak's retirement not too far behind(possibly '25?)! We have been so blessed to watch these 3 play. Now, they are basically in our rear view mirror! Great memories!
@@edkiely2712 yes those consecutive records will probably stand forever in my opinion. its good that Roger will retain some of the records between the big 3. he really deserves it for his legacy imo. will Tennis ever be the same after the big 3? i doubt it. Great memories indeed 🙂
this is one of the best courts ever and the color is beautiful, Federer here was out of this world literally. one of the best beautiful matches ever played.
"Andy, what was it like for you to be out there today, at the end of that?" "It's frustrating..you know?! It was miserable, it sucked, it was terrible. Besides that, it was fine".
@@Filippirgos Agreed. Federer played it well, but Roddick played so poorly that Fed didn't have to elevate to anything close to as exceptional as even an average set against Rafa.
There are at least 10 guys on the tour today who could pass Roddick on those approach/volleys just like Federer did. The hidden talent was Federer's ability to make all those chip returns, even if they were short.
It's matches like these that affirm my belief that Roger is the GOAT. Rafael and Novak may have won more grandslam titles, but I truly believe Roger at his peak in the 2000s was better than both of them, except on clay against peak Rafael. Everything he did was so smooth, effortless, and beautiful - his forehand, backhand, serve, footwork, volley, and speed were as though he was a computer simulated example of what a perfect player would do. Plus his mental strength was better than any before or since.
Everyone raving about this Federer performance but no one talks about how bad roddick was serving, approaching, and how passive he was from the baseline. This was a standard roddick 07 performance. Federer's US Open 2007 match with Roddick was Federer at a higher quality. Roddick should have been 2 sets up and was playing much, much better than this - although his net approaches killed him.
I guarantee 100% & confidence 🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) the Magician will lift up the Trophy 🏆 2024 🏴 Wimbledon open champion for the record 50th time in history & 100th major champion is still coming soon in advance 💪!!! Mark my word and Vamos Roger!!! Perfection and Cheers to the Swiss Maestro!!! 🇨🇭🏆🐐🎾🎾
I would say this is actually just post-peak Federer. In 2007 he switched from the nCode to the K-Factor racquet and even in this tournament - where he was supremely dominant and timing the ball extraordinarily well - you can see the smaller backswing and follow-through (especially on the topspin backhand) and somewhat diminished depth, power and spin. He just isn't swinging as freely and his shot selection is sometimes a bit more conservative. I see a clear difference in his form compared to the year end final just a month before.
Andy was playing fine, Roger was playing lights out in that tournament, he won without dropping a single set. Fernando Gonzales was a wrecking ball in that tournament, he absolutely crushed Rafa Nadal, and Federer made him look like a club player.
I keep coming back to this video. It's either the huge forehands on both sides or Federer's sweet baby blue set. "...after the mental devastation of the [6-0] second set..." Devastation? Roddick should be thrilled! He just got a free hitting clinic with the world No. 1!

He came down with mono late 07. That impacted him as he struggled to recover in early 08. That I feel ended his dominance. He took some big losses against Nadal and Djokovic at the slams in 08. Prior to that, he made EVERY slam final in 06 and 07 Despite the mono Fed racked up 24 consecutive grand slam semi finals or better. Yes all four slams on all four surfaces. So how bad is mono? Well it retired the 09 French open finalist, the man who downed Nadal, Soldering.

Absolutely not.

"Who will do everything right...?"
I'll give you a clue: not Roddick.

100% this. I completely agree with your assessment. 07-09 Federer was the peak passive baseliner version of himself.

Odd to see Andy not playing well here. His matches vs Roger at Wimbledon were always high quality.

Federer just moved different in his prime. That's the biggest different
I would say Federer was at the peak of his powers in 2007. He may still have been "invincible", as he was called by many experts and pundits alike...
He came down with mono late 07. That impacted him as he struggled to recover in early 08. That I feel ended his dominance. He took some big losses against Nadal and Djokovic at the slams in 08. Prior to that, he made EVERY slam final in 06 and 07
Despite the mono Fed racked up 24 consecutive grand slam semi finals or better. Yes all four slams on all four surfaces. So how bad is mono? Well it retired the 09 French open finalist, the man who downed Nadal, Soldering.
Roddick served only 4 aces in this match and won only 45 points. This was a demolition in every possible way.
