@@upstartfenix Not true… ? So you say he was playing at his 100% effort on each ball like when played Djoko and Rafa in a grand slam ? That is your statement ?
@@upstartfenix You obviously don’t know Federer then. Just watch his Wimbledon 2016 match against Marcus Willis. You will learn something new about Federer.
Devin Britton didn't play bad and he wasn't afraid to serve and volley, something players then and today do in limited fashion if at all. He was a pretty good serve and volleyer too. He's retired now and a coach at his alma mater. This guy had talent but didn't last and it shows how tough the tour really really really is.
i am 100% sure federer conserved as much energy as possible as he knew this would be a slam dunk win. In other words he could have triple bageled him if he really wanted to.
What a dumb thing to say. U dont think triple bageling would save u more energy than giving ur opponent 9 games? Sure he probably wasnt running down every ball but this guy was legit
@@pants1359if you wanna do a triple 0 you’ll have to break all the serve which can be really difficult, and you have to stay 100% intensity the whole match, giving away few games can be a valid strategy to save yourself some energy while keep going with the game
I don’t think you fully understand what he’s saying, no way on earth fed could of triple bagelled him, in fact I’d go as far as fed winning 6-2 6-2 6-2 when trying to
@@hotfrogs77 I mean this is the opening round, clearly Fed doesn't want to burn himself out at the beginning of the tournament. If he played this match like it was the grand final, bageling a guy ranked #1000 who has never played a GS match before is not out of the realm of possibility. At 100% effort this probably looks something like 6-1 6-2 6-0
Federer unlike Nadal, likes to grow in the right moments, people thinking he did that for fans and kids are just delusional, he clearly didn't want to burn himself out, and yeah, you can do that even in a quick match.
can you elaborate that he likes to grow at the right moments? Do you mean that he purposefully raised the difficulty of the match by going a bit softer?
@@ericzhong5863 No, I meant on more critical games, for example when it’s like 4-4 or 5-5 in the Set, he just up a notch, and if he is successful the opponent will have limited chances to recover, another classic example of that is Zverev, he looks like he is just doing rallies most of the set, all the way up the end when he just get more intense
@@goethe1776 That's funny, cause since that 2011 US Open semi-final, Federer was always labeled as the mentally weakest of the Big 3. Some people even said that he usually underperformed when under pressure. Calling him a choker. I really prefer Roger when there's nothing at stake
Mr Britton played well against the best player in tennis at the time. I think he was very pleased with the score, though i am sure he wanted to go to a TB in the 3rd, just for bragging rights with his teammates!
You mean one of the best, if not the best player in history. That puts it in better perspective, "at the time" just doesn't convey how great Federer was.
Everyone who thinks Federer is going easy on him to let him have his moment or whatever, why would Fed do that? Fed's putting in the minimum amount of effort he needs to put in to win, because why would he smoke himself in the first match of the tournament? Later on he went up against Söderling and Djokovic and had potential match-ups with Nadal or Murray. I'm not saying Fed isn't a nice guy because by all accounts he is but he's a champion tennis player first and a nice guy second. He isn't giving Britton his moment, he's keeping himself as fresh as he can for what's coming up.
Playing Fed in his prime is an honor. Being able to experience the best player in the game at 19 is such a rare experience I wouldnt be suprised if this is match is a better experience for Britton than winning the tourna. Especially when you get 2 service aces in a row against Fed.
what means "first professional Match" ? I think to get there, you had already played a ton of Pro Matches. Challenger etc. You mean "first Professional Match on a big stage" ?
No, he means that it was quite literally his first ever match on the Pro tour. He got a wildcard into the US Open immediately after turning pro, because he had had some success at NCAA level events. This was his first Pro Match, not just his first Pro match on a big stage. This channel is prone to exaggeration, but not in this instance.
The wildcard system is stupid. Gives an unfair advantage to US/UK/FR/AUS players. Lots of money and chances for ATP points plus free attention just because you're born in a country that hosts a slam. Meanwhile many other players in the range of 200-500 that stop each year because they can't afford it anymore. Tennis system needs a revamp and these ridiculous slam wildcards need to go.
In terms of "fairness" I agree, but sports is a business and the only reason some people can make a career out of simply playing a recreational game is because the money that the organisations and tournaments make. Wildcards are given out to people who will attract more viewers, and people love seeing their own countries players even if they aren't as good. So unfortunately I think it is here to stay
I thought he got it because he won the college NCAAs. He was one of talented cases that won it at 18 his first year in college. USO always gives one wild card to the NCAA champ
Top tennis pro's, idk about any more but Especially back in the big 3 days Almost Always had ridiculously easy early rounds in the slams. Guys you absolutely have never heard of despite being able to recognize everyone in the top 200+. I get that it's about money/ guarenteeing the best players make it to the 2nd week as best you can. Definitely no lack of grey issues on tour, but it's an entertainment product, ok I've said enough
@@unathleticremi what makes you think otherwise? He had multiple games where he was able to lock in and put away winners in rallies. But he also had way more long balls and some double faults that dragged him down.
@@stephennicewarner216 You can win double as many GS, you still could never play like him. If the serve and volley era had continued, he sill would have been Nr. 1. When he lost, it was quite often due to lack of concentration or some strrange capricious behaviour, like in those tons of GS matches he lost from match point up. Regarding the way he played the game, nobody can match him. Not that I don't appreciate Djokovic' accomplishments, I do.

Slight correction, Roger let him win 9 games. This easily could have been 6-0 across the board.

It was not his first professional match. First and I think also last GS appearance
it is a great honor and luck

It's so obvious here how dominant Roger's forehand is.
Game Feder 😂
What’s Briton doing lately?
the 2 first sets 6-1 6-3 in only 45 minutes ???
what means "first professional Match" ?
I think to get there, you had already played a ton of Pro Matches. Challenger etc. You mean "first Professional Match on a big stage" ?
He was a kid who was playing college and won NCAAs, so he wasn’t really playing many pro matches but juniors and college

How did he qualify for a grand slam if it’s his first match ?
Wildcard

game federer

Why do you have to whine so much? Should the US Open have consulted you first prior to letting a Wild Card entry enter the tournament?
Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon as a wildcard. He's not British.
