Slow court fast court low bounce these players have played these courts for many years thats not going to bother all 3 of them its form that will win it not court speed and bounce!
Backhand and return of serve was very concerning today. To be honest, serving and movement were mediocre also and the first set should have gone to Pouille. Roger needs to dig very very deep the second week. He needs a spark to be lit by his coaches and family to wake up the champion in him.
If the press conference can be shown fully why can't Wimbledon spend a little more time in making their highlights longer and complete ?🙄 ...The highlights of Roger vs Pouille was poor
Federer is very impressive when it comes to speaking different languages, but bare in mind that he is from Switzerland and there are four languages being spoken there (Retoroman, German, French and Italian). On the other hand Djokovic is from Serbia where only Serbian is being spoken in general and he speaks English as well as Fed and is pretty fluent in French, Italian and Spanish. Something to think about...
@@chesslessons8862 Novaks english isnt as good as federers. His italian is kinda weak, he only knows few phrases and he repeats that every time. Listening novak speaking french is really painful, so he is not good in that one either.
He said in an interview that he's most comfortable speaking Swiss German, then English, German, French, in this order, if I remember correctly. So yes, you'd be right 😊
That pure gold watch in his left hand...someone can buy a mid-size house in my country with that watch. No envy at all these athletes all fully dedicated to their craft and most of them are well involved in social work...I feel the utmost respect towards the Legend Federer.😂
TheMoonchild1969 He did not buy that watch. Rolex endorses Federer and naturally gave him the watch. So he more or less HAS to wear it.. But I must say, the watch looks great on his wrist. And yes, it is a very expensive watch. But ROLEX would not let Federer wear something less then the best....
RF is in good form but still way behind from 2017 W form. The opponent keep attacking his BH and his BH become weaker now. On top he missed many break point opportunities even though he broke back finally. I got a significant doubt whether he can beat RN in Semi. RN is going to destroy his weak BH and capitalize RF low break point conversion weakness
The way he switches languages is so impressive. I speak English and Spanish fluently and French fairly well and when I switch I need a moment between the languages. I'm super impressed C'était incroyable de voir ça.
The thing about womens is that they only play 3 sets, and younger woman have a natural higher VO2max, where older women have to work harder to maintain due to their bodily changes for motherhood. Men, in their teens have to play long matches against seasoned men players who don't reach their prime till 24-32 so it's much less common for a young guy to dethrone a top player.
So he made it through to the Berettini match. I havent really seen him streak on the forehand side. Lots of loopy shots and unclean contacts... Lets see where it takes him

WHY DOESNT UNIQLO OFFER ANY TENNIS CLOTHING. Nothing on their site. What's the point of them having Fed market their apparel if they don't offer it for sale?
We are witnessing his last months in the game He doesnt have the legs and endurance he once had. I think he will retire at the top before he slides down the rankings a true champion.
Federer gets asked about all the good things he's doing in Africa, Djokovic gets asked repeatedly about Justin Gimlestop assault conviction. So unfair.
I can see why the Germans can't understand the Swiss......haha. Not a bad thing, that's just how it is. It sounds like Roger's speaking German with a soft French inflection/ not the clear, hard emphasis that I usually associate with German. Interesting how language changes as it moves around.
I love Federer and Nadal. Although I must admit I incline towards Nadal for personal reasons. Mateo won't be an easy match for Federer just because of Mateo's form. But Federer should take it but wouldn't surprise me if Federer struggles. Nadal has a somewhat an easier match against Sousa. But then again a bad game can be trouble for Nadal. I personally think if they go through their next matches, Federer and Nadal will match again, and not because I incline more towards Nadal, but I think Nadal will handle Federer comfortably if they do match up.
Nadal is in near impeccable form at the moment. It will be incredibly difficult for Federer to beat him. Roger hasn't looked as sharp, or on his game as Nadal is right now. I'm a Roger fan through and through, but I feel he will only struggle from here on out. Would not surprise me if he doesn't even make it to the semis.

So far not he did not face any tough opponent on his draw. Obviously Pouille is not consistent and tough enough in serving and returning, no pressure at all. Only Nikoshiri is the known tough guy in his quarter draw. Just lucky to have an easy draw.
Still if he wanna win gotta bring back that neo backhand back or else he has to go home against berrettini for sure. He won that 2 slams in 2017 because he was using more aggressive backhands rather than going for slice which is must need for tennis in todays generation. If he keeps slicing he will lose for sure in 4th round .. if he brings back that backhand of 2017 hes the champ for sure.
@@fortunasp5391 The other three majors go by rankings. Nadal faced Kyrgious, when Federer faced a qualifier. And now, #19, #6 women seeds on Center Court Monday, Ash Barty,#1, is on court 2. Reason: Konta is British. That 'aint' right. Wimbledon needs to come in line and come correct.

FEDERER IS WEAK ERA!!!!!
@AJ idk why I laughed way too much at this reply.
There's almost nothing in his game that's short of perfect, but yeah his return of serve has a bit of room for improvement.
Pouille barely won games against Djokovic at AO.
He is a brillant player and very honest with his answers
I came here only to hear him say the word Rafa and I got much more than that. Love fedal ❤️

Roger has to improve a lot if he wants to win here. Rafa seems incredibly good. Too good unfortunately. And conditions are slow too
Valentin Widmann tsonga was a much easier matchup than Pouille. Tsonga is a shadow of his former self.
I hope so
Nah it's not clay, it will be easier for Roger is they meet
Valentin Widmann the Goat
Probably explains why they fixed the seedings to favor Roger. Seeding by ranking is fair.

Backhand was completely off today. Used to be a lethal weapon back in 2017. Not anymore. Sad.
His backhand return seems weak right now. Today it reminded me of last summer when he kept hitting it into the net.
@eoe123321 Yeah, it should be called green clay
