[@michaelp9061]

Incredible footage. Thanks.

It’s crazy that Federer played against guys who won majors in 1980’s, and guy who won in the 2020’s.

So incredible!!

[@glennphillips843]

Nothing much has changed for roger

[@feirnd1]

Apart from energy, even playing techniques were vastly different.

I didn't know Chang was using the pure drive at the end of his career.

[@tryfergoodra552]

whats the pure drive

[@RogerPham]

@@tryfergoodra552 its a Babolat line of racquet. But I doubt Chang was using a statistically different one than his lengthier Prince here. Maybe Babolat offered him a custom made version with Pure Drive paint on top

[@TheTopspin77]

Chang should have never switched from Prince Rackets to Babolat. Prince won 34 titles with Prince and 0 with Babolat like he is using here. LOL

[@jamesbondiv4072]

I think Prince said, "Since you're not winning anymore, see ya............"
Loyalty.

Federer is a great champion is undeniable but a match with a player like Chang at the end of is career is not significant.Doesn't tell us anything about the real gap between the two players.We'll never know ,if Chang was the best Chang at the proper age,how could it be the match.So compliments to Federer for all the victories in his career,but ,for this match,it was only an exibition of a champ of the past with a young champion and the result was clear from the beginning

[@mcximus]

I don't think Chang paired well with Roger. Roger hits harder with heavier topspin and he's as fast as Chang.
