Thank you ❤! And Roger owns him in many more ways as well including most loved, most popular, most iconic! Long live the GOAT King Roger, King of the court, ENTIRE court not just the baseline!❤❤❤
No disrespect, but the H2H is misleading. Federer still kept a positive score against Djokovic even after 2014 in best of 3. His main issue was best of five, where Djokovic dominated most of the times, but there were also instances like WB 14 and 19, where the match was dead equal or Federer was even the better player, the main difference being the stamina factor. Federer was also unfortunate to face the best of Djokovic, for example had Federer a slump in Slams from 2014-16, the h2h would be equal. Federer lost a lot of teritory, because he was still good enough to make the slam finals even in his 30’s. We still had the higher level, but could not keep it for that much long.
Six years age gap. That's a damn fckng HUGE age gap in every possible sports involving heavy athletic. The fact that he remained so competitive despite that gap is nothing short of extraordinary. Yeah, the h2h is quite misleading, and yet Djokovic is just 8% ahead into it, which is not that much. In a 50 matches rivalry, it equals to winning/losing 2 matches only. Federer actually had the key for Djokovic's game (being perhaps the only player in all Nole's career who was able to push the Serbian mostly on defense in all their matches), and he showed this a lot of times... only that in the 2nd part of their rivalry, in which they played almost 70% of their h2h's, he was just too old to compete deeply with Nole into best of five matches, and also with a troubled right knee to add on that. That's too much even for somebody like Federer. I think that Nole is actually quite lucky that they were not the same age.
@@pierdomenicosommati443 I think that begs the question why prime Federer couldn't take advantage of pre-prime Djokovic as much as prime Djokovic could take advantage of post-prime Federer. My answer is that post prime Federer went on for much longer (10+ years) than pre-prime Djokovic (5+ years). Djokovic rose more quickly than Federer fell. Had Federer fallen off a cliff after 2015, they would be level, yes.

As I always say - Roger won the matches in his prime that he should have won. And the same for Djokovic. People love to act like the 6-year age difference didn't matter, but the reality is - in tennis time that 6 years puts Roger in a different "generation" of players than Djokovic.
Rog is the best in real fast courts. This one and Cincy were the only that keep the fast surface through the years and its not a coincidence there are the places where RF had played so well even against prime Djoko (Dubai 14,15 and Cincy 12, 15)

Roger on top BOOM BOOM form, taking it to prime Djokovic and showing the world the range of his amazing skill, athleticism and court-craft, his artistry and pure inspired play will live for all time, his brilliance is timeless !
Actually his slice is literally majestic too😊 I think that his backhand side is the most underrated ever. Everybody played 80% of shots on that side, yet this was not nearly enough to keep him from harvesting an unbelievable number of wins.😊
It never fails to rack me up that Djokovic just couldn't handle "old" Roger's game on a fast hard court. IIRC he beat Roger 1 time in Dubai, 1 time in Cincy and 0 times in Shanghai.
Today i watched most of the AO highlights, including great players like Alcaraz, Zverev and Sinner. Now i watched Roger in this video! His game is in a totally different dimension 🎾🎾 Too bad that we can't enjoy him nowadays 😢
Some or all of Roger's records might get broken eventually but his playing style was much more beautiful than the baseliners and I dont think anyone will beat that
Just to be clear…Prime means different things to different people, but to me it is basically the period of time where they are athletically and technically at or near their peak ! Obviously within this period there might have instances where it's clear there are dips due to injury but mostly these are big 4 « primes » Federer : 2004-2012 Nadal: 2008-2014 Djokovic : 2011-2016 Murray: 2010-2017 It doesn't mean that outside this gap of time they were bad or whatever not at all but more like those were the days where they were at the very top of their game ! PS: Not to forget that people might use the term "peak" which to me is more like a year, or can be a tournament where one player is playing the very best he could possibly play...2006 Fed, 2011 nole, 2010 rafa for exemple
Federer's 2010 & 2011 aren't anywhere near his prime. Prime constitutes a continuous period of time where the level of play and physicality is at the top, while improving or staying there. Peak level means the absolute best and could be reached at any time, lasting for just a match or more.
A reasonable observation, but usual, Fed is the exception - with his peak. Fed's peak (= tennis's apotheosis): Master Cup (WTF) 2003 to Masters Cup (WTF) 2007 (320-24 overall) Prime: AO 2004 to AO 2010 Extended prime: Marseille 2003 to AO 2013
@@masters.1000 it’s not because Roger was « less successful that he wasn’t at his prime…he just faced at that time some peak level of Nadal and Djoko…he was physically so good and technically the same ! It is in 2013 that he got worse cause of back injury, movement and forehand got worse ( change of racquet and change of forehand technique )
i struggle to understand why roger had any trouble with djokovic but he did roger had all this ability and djokovic was a baseline shootout player(boring) i am just a tennis fan but it was puzzling
Ruger didn't have any "troubles" whatsoever vs Novak. Of course the Serbian was rock solid, but the Swiss's game was just ideal to put him in deep trouble. But he had an additional opponent in those matches from 2011 onwards: his own age, with a huge age gap of six years vs Djokovic. That's all, that's more the enough to explain his "troubles", but that wasn't enough to keep him from scoring a decent number of wins vs the Serbian anyway. From 2011 onwards, 30+ Roger actually won 33% of their matches, which becomes more than 40% win rate if you just count best-of-three matches. These are facts, and they don't tell about a 30+ champion who is having "troubles" vs a six years younger champion. They just tell us that those six years are obviously a very important factor, that's all.
But counting fairly (from 2013 and on, Federer is somewhat plagued by injuries, while Djokovic is in his prime), we should count only matches before 2013, changing the score to: Djokovic: 12 Federer: 17 Excluding maybe the two first years where Djokovic was perhaps not at his prime yet, and start counting at 2008, when Djokovic wins his first grand slam final over Federer, the head to head statistic becomes more even, but favouring The Greatest Of All Time, Federer: Head to Head fairly counted, 2008-2012 Djokovic: 11 Federer: 12
Fed fans make their own happiness. Bragging about him winning in Mickey Mouse tournament while simultaneously getting owned in every important moment by Nole is peak Fed fan logic. This is almost as shameless about bragging that Federer was a solid 1-4 against Novak in 2011 at the “old” age 29. Nole let him this one cuz he felt bad, just like he did in 2019 ATP finals.
Your comments, and others like you, are one of the reasons why Djokovic isn't as popular. It's very disrespectful and shows your lack of understanding of how Djokovic became the great player he is. That's right, Djokovic's success has a lot to do with Federer's records. Everytime he won, he believed more that he belongs at least at the same level if not higher. He said it himself that his 2 biggest rivals helped make him who he is. As for Federer playing in smaller tournaments, he is partly lured to play those tournaments by the organisers because of his popularity. In turn, he gained more fans as he was more accessible. Not everyone can travel to those big tournaments to watch their favourite player in action.
@@kweizi5712lol those "Mickey Mouse tournaments" were ATP 500 and just a very small handful of ATP 250. That is the "style" of those very stupid and very disrespectful Djokovic hoolifans, who also have the stupidity to pretend that being 30 y/o vs a 24/25 y/o is not a disadvantage. What do they think that would've happened if 30 y/o Djokovic had to face the 24 y/o himself? Moreover, obviously we have to "remind" these mindless hoolifans that 30/31 Federer was still sharp enough to kick the very very prime Novak out of Roland Garros 2011 and Wimbledon 2012. They use to have an extremely selective memory.
The thing with the big 3 is like they aren't far away in being better it's very close, sure Djokovic is the goat blah blah, but isn't like he's that much better than Federer or Nadal.
They're actually three players from the exact same league, despite playing very differently from each other. It's a league on their own. That's why the GOAT argument is very stupid and very overrated. The amount of victories is a fact, but it depends on a huge number of circumstances too (especially on such a huge timespan of 15 years)... the level they showed in that huge timespan is what actually counts. They essentially kept being a constant challenge for each other for all that insane timespan. We've not to forget that 2005 Nadal was already very close to his prime level, and that 2019 Federer at 38 was able to send 32 y/o Djokovic out of the Finals, and to raise himself at double championship point at Wimbledon vs the 6 years younger Serbian (which is actually much more extraordinary than having lost that match).
There is a better match if you are looking where Federer folded djokovic...and it was also prime djokovic. 2012 Cinncinatti final, Federer folded djokovic 6:0
Historically 6 years is about a tennis generation. The age when Federer started his prime is roughly the same as Djokovic's. Djokovic also had a psychological advantage because he could play with less pressure and nothing to lose during his prime years because he was still chasing his big rivals from a long way back. They have had many close matches going Djokovic way. How would you feel if hypothetically their ages were swapped and Federer was younger by 6 years, and those close matches went Federer's way?
You Djoko hoolifans have to play the "age doesn't count" card simultaneously with the "Novak prior to 2011 was a baby" card, in order to diminish Roger results, and to avoid looking at the blatant fact that even a very old Federer was a constant huge threat for him.
