I never said they were not gracious, so is Nole, Rafa, Murray, in fact if you remove the odd outliers, most modern day players can be easily classified as gracious. But I am not talking about just being nice here, its his personality and way he honestly answers everything without any affected mannerisms. I guess that is why he has more fans and support than any other player around ...
roger and rafa getting old. every triumph now is special because you never know when the next injury would come. i just wish them well and and that they enjoy each moment.
what a man, what a personality ! i would love to see him winning the Aussie Open this Sunday ! ultimate respect for Roger! form me he is definitely GOAT !
and he fucking did it! you don't just take 6 months off and come back seeded 17 and win the tournament beating 4 top 10 players, including 3 5-setters and your biggest nemesis at the age of fucking 35! What are you roger ! GOAT
He has Absolutely No right to be in the AO Final . . . . coming from a 6 month Injury lay-off to go straight into the Final of a major is absolutely amazing. G.O.A.T
Im Swiss and had the Chance to get to know Roger ( im related to a pretty famous Swiss Female Player ) and all i can say is, that this is rly how he is: Humble, always a good Sport and insanely funny at all times. Proud of him and sorta proud of being Swiss at this Point. Stan is also a great Dude.
"I'll leave it all out here in Australia, and if I can't walk for another 5 months, that's ok". Never heard such determined words from Federer. That's inspiring.
He has done it, king of tennis , cheer for rafa roger final♥ much love to both of you , what an acknowledgement and love of sports...king roger♥ love you♥ roger is on fire tennis, his desire ain't no body better he is a warrior roger is on fire slam is desire ;)
+Religious-Democratic Socialist first volley rafa wins a lot because his top spin approach shot already set it up. But federer,,even without a powerful approach shot, he can volley amazingly both first and second volleys.
+Religious-Democratic Socialist lol you must be on crack, kid. Rafa better at volleying? Have you watched him won a volley to volley rally? Those volleys that you consider good were after approach shots where the enemies were on the other side of the court, those were easy volleys. Rarely! I understand why you think he is a good volleyer, but to say he is better than roger is out of this world. I would maybe consider your point had you said Zverev is superior.
This AO is for Fed, Nadal has a credit on getting to the finals but is not playing as well as Roger. Nadal´s rivals were poor quality. God Bless Fed´s tennis
some people saying federer got to final because he didnt play murray, I say though he is sir andy murray, he would have got a nice tennis lesson from sir roger perfect federer if the match happened...
Zverev played the match of his life against Murray though, he was extraordinary. Murray could've beaten him on any other day. Congrats to Federer though, another Nadal-Federer final would be amazing.
Murray was too passive. He let Zverev come in and be aggresive at any time he wanted, because his style is more of a baseline grinder that occasionally goes to the net. His passing shots weren't on point therefore Zverev took advantage. Federer is another animal, because he likes to put the pressure on you almost every point he can. He likes to go to the net with almost every ball, whether its of his serve, of a return, of a good shot, or a slice. That means Zverev had to pass and DEFEND against Roger most of the time, which is not his style. That is why Roger outplayed Zverev. Murray read the match the wrong way, he played with fire trusting his defensive skilss and got burned. Like Sean Barber said. Every match is different, every day is different, every opponent is different.
Glad to see Roger back in a GS final after 6 month off, that's amazing. Very strange match today, Federer played well in the first two sets then he literally stop playing, making tons of errors and his backhand was terrible. The fifth set could have gone both ways, but there Roger was stronger on decisive points. Federer will need to play far better in the final if he wants to win his eighteen major. Come On Maestro !
What an amazing match....Federer had nerves of steel)) After on court interview was entertaining too....how can he stay so humble!! Damn no one is like him
Federer is playing like a world no.1 right now, absolutely amazing tennis, accurate, powerful and responsive to circumstances but I'd still love to see Rafa win out - even though its a long, long shot
I'm happy Roger won, I will be more happy if nadal win tomorrow's match with Gregor cos it will mean that my two tennis idol is in the final once again after a long time.
Roger fan so would obviously love to see him win but Nadal is so good AGAIN and Dimitrov has come so far that it would be a shame if he didn't win. wish all of them the best luck, obviously Roger is my favorite but whoever wins or whoever we see play on Sundan, it's going to be magnificent.
Rafael Nadal ranks at number 9 this year and won against Federer in AO 2009. Roger Federer ranks at number 17 and will win against Nadal in Australian Open 2017? We all know it's a difficult match for Fed to win. Just BEL18VE signs are real.
Damn this guy is like the politician of tennis world, meaning he really knows how to talk. No wonder why he is always the crowd favorite. It is like he always have the perfect words and the perfect speech besides been a fantastic player.
6:23 that part especially is absolutely PRICELESS! dear god it's such a bomb to see Roger and Rafa both somehow playing amazing tennis again and maybe playing another legendary match on sunday. all fingers crossed.
"I think I am his number one fan, of Rafa." Did Sampras ever say this about Agassi? Did any other greatest rivalry resemble such a class act? How privileged are we to be able to witness this grace
what a man, from the injury jokes, to the rafa story about being old crippled instructors at his academy to maybe a grand slam final. THem and the Williams sisters in a final?? Is it 2004 again?
King Roger, I bow down to you...You are the man! Thanks for helping make this a FANTASTIC Ausie Open, along with Venus and Serena! Nedal now needs to do his part in making this a dream tourny. If Nedal comes thru I can say I will 100% not have any favorites between the four legends (Venus, Roger, Serena, Nedal). All are my favorites and whoever wins would be a joyful story to have experienced.
Besides Roger underperforming, he knows this is one of his last chances to win a GS, so he'll have even more pressure now that he is in it. Alongside that, if Nadal reaches the final, he will try to make it physical and with long rallies to wear Roger down. I don't know why Fed fans want Nadal in the final. Besides ''nostalgia'', the matchup is even worse now that years have passed, since Federer's physical condition is not the best, he can't cover all the court and can't defend the same as years back. I don't know how everyone is so excited and confident Roger will win if Rafa goes through. I'm rooting for Dimitrov all the way, and if Rafa wins, it's game over.
It is good to see Roger acknowledging not only Rafa's greatness, but also addressing some facts about their H2H beyond the simplistic view that Nadal is a better player, because the numbers favor him.
I must admit I never really liked him as a person, but he is a fantastic player. What he said about my hero Rafa, made me like him a bit more. Thank you Roger! But still, I would love to see Rafa win the title! ( If he gets to the final!)
I find tennis players are honest in their interviews, but unlike NFL and NBA pro players, they get the interview and press thing down...much smoother...
His interview skills .. hands down .. I have not seen another sportsman/woman who is that good ...
Natesh S Mrs. Williams both of them.
For interview skills ? Really !?. Well I suppose what people find classy is not universal ;)
shut up
Natesh S Have you seen Venus? She's been nothing but gracious.
I never said they were not gracious, so is Nole, Rafa, Murray, in fact if you remove the odd outliers, most modern day players can be easily classified as gracious. But I am not talking about just being nice here, its his personality and way he honestly answers everything without any affected mannerisms. I guess that is why he has more fans and support than any other player around ...
"I'm Rafa's #1 fan" -Roger Federer 2017
I'm rafas number one fan and he's gonna butcher federer. Fed may be great but he's not better than nadal
Clueless
LOL !!!
on Clay but on hardcourt 50/50.....
They are actually very good friends off the court. It'd be the dream final! I just hope Roger has enough left in him to get no.18!
Federer plays perfect and he also gives perfect interviews
this guy is freaking hilarious.. and he's a legend but somehow he finds a way to stay so humble!
roger and rafa getting old. every triumph now is special because you never know when the next injury would come. i just wish them well and and that they enjoy each moment.
Fed vs Nadal in a slam final in 2017. UNREAL!!!!
Amrit Swain Ranked no. 17 vs 9 in the final!😆
30 yr old vs 35 yr old in a final hahahha
and then 35 yr old and 36 yr old in womens final
Who let them all out of the Nursing Home

5:25 look how he kills the most famous rivalry in the Sports World ......... such a great sportsman Federer !
like to see this interview to improve my listening skills👍
who disliked it. sick
"No more holding back, all out on Sunday, even if i can't walk for months! "
way to go RF!
and he fucking did it! you don't just take 6 months off and come back seeded 17 and win the tournament beating 4 top 10 players, including 3 5-setters and your biggest nemesis at the age of fucking 35! What are you roger ! GOAT
5:39 :O
He has Absolutely No right to be in the AO Final . . . . coming from a 6 month Injury lay-off to go straight into the Final of a major is absolutely amazing. G.O.A.T
'Tennis coaches hate him! He rests for 6 months and beats the best players in the game. Learn the secret NOW!'
6 months ago he had a late night so he had to catch up on his sleep.
Roger wins, Rafa wins, we all win
Jim is to me the best interviewer ever .... direct, relevant and funny !
Well said.
He is but he's a really annoying commentator imo
He is and you could tell he loves Roger too!
Jim-Roger chemistry is on another level.
of course Roger likes Grigor's game. It's like looking in a mirror
Im Swiss and had the Chance to get to know Roger ( im related to a pretty famous Swiss Female Player ) and all i can say is, that this is rly how he is: Humble, always a good Sport and insanely funny at all times. Proud of him and sorta proud of being Swiss at this Point. Stan is also a great Dude.

He has done it, king of tennis , cheer for rafa roger final♥ much love to both of you , what an acknowledgement and love of sports...king roger♥ love you♥
roger is on fire
tennis, his desire
ain't no body better
he is a warrior
roger is on fire
slam is desire ;)
if he gives his best, he'll win this grandslam. BEL18VE
it'll be a great match if rafa reaches the final :)
Roger at his best vs Rafa at his best = Rafa wins
+Religious-Democratic Socialist first volley rafa wins a lot because his top spin approach shot already set it up. But federer,,even without a powerful approach shot, he can volley amazingly both first and second volleys.

"if he gives his best" lmao wtf they always give their best.. what a nonsensical statement
titan of tennis, emperor of sport, father of twins and king of the court.
That Rafa roger story playing mini tennis had me dying 😂😂
Form is temporary class is permanent
GOATERER
Merima Dedović you mean GOATEST? 👍
i mean what i wrote

Merima Dedović hi
@@merimadedovic6926 But Sadly He got another name " Chokerer " @40-15.
The epitome of class...just right there! thank god for you Roger!
Thanks for the nice words about Rafa, Roger! :) #Fedal
Anissa Desiree bitch stopppppp lying! now you like Federer? lmao
You are pathetic! :D #Lol
"if you go... off... the court, that means the treatment is further. up. the leg" xD
You just gotta love this guy. As a Spanish Nadal fan, I have to admit that I will be just as happy if Roger ends up winning
how not to be a fan? this guy is the epitome of sportsmanship
Fedrer is fan of Rafa
Rafa always wants to be fedrer
these two guyzz r legends srsly
This AO is for Fed, Nadal has a credit on getting to the finals but is not playing as well as Roger. Nadal´s rivals were poor quality. God Bless Fed´s tennis
G.O.A.T
Harry LEVI p
The way Roger speaks ....😀😀😀
just amazing 👏👏👏👐
His interviews with him are always fun to watch 😂😂. This could be a show on its own
After 5 years I still watch and love the AO 2017 final! What a comeback from both of them. Defenitely my favorite Roger's game
Federer is just one word:Class!No more comments needed..Just hope he wins the final.
Rafa vs Roger...like the good old days
Press Conference Please!!!
some people saying federer got to final because he didnt play murray, I say though he is sir andy murray, he would have got a nice tennis lesson from sir roger perfect federer if the match happened...
Federer did beat Zverev, who is the person that defeated Murray. So in my opinion, Federer would have gotten to the finals regardless.
Zverev played the match of his life against Murray though, he was extraordinary. Murray could've beaten him on any other day. Congrats to Federer though, another Nadal-Federer final would be amazing.
Murray was too passive. He let Zverev come in and be aggresive at any time he wanted, because his style is more of a baseline grinder that occasionally goes to the net. His passing shots weren't on point therefore Zverev took advantage.

Murray read the match the wrong way, he played with fire trusting his defensive skilss and got burned.
Like Sean Barber said. Every match is different, every day is different, every opponent is different.
huge respect for Roger, he defied any logic with his reaching of the final. I'll be pissing rainbow colors if he manages to win this tournament
hi there, I was just wondering, did you piss a rainbow?
Glad to see Roger back in a GS final after 6 month off, that's amazing.
Very strange match today, Federer played well in the first two sets then he literally stop playing, making tons of errors and his backhand was terrible.
The fifth set could have gone both ways, but there Roger was stronger on decisive points.
Federer will need to play far better in the final if he wants to win his eighteen major.
Come On Maestro !
this is an Australian open to remember !!!!
Venus, Serena, and rodger !!! we need one more C'mon Nadal !!!
+Lance Burley also the amount of drama happened! My gosh!!!
Rafa will win the oz open 2017
What a legend. And Jim and Roger, those two can do a comedy double act!
One day in the future, we will categorize Roger's 2017 return as the greatest comeback in sports history
what a godgiven gift Roger Federer is to tennis. Such a privilege to be able to see him playing at his best.
rog's last part of the speech is so touching. Bring back the years and memories!
roger vs rafa ONE MORE TIME!!
SA LS .lets not limit that number
What an amazing match....Federer had nerves of steel)) After on court interview was entertaining too....how can he stay so humble!! Damn no one is like him
Herr Prakhar federar is amazing to watch, he doesn't look tired, why is Nadal, Djokovic always shouting wen dey are tired?
I am sure Rafa is happy because Roger's style suited him better than Stan's style
hats off to you guys for such fast uploads..
bravo
P.S - amazing match
roger for the title !
Federer is playing like a world no.1 right now, absolutely amazing tennis, accurate, powerful and responsive to circumstances but I'd still love to see Rafa win out - even though its a long, long shot
rabbitss11 u mean he's lucky opponents getting injured and knocked out?
Yeah, like demolishing Berdych and beating both Nishikori and Wawrinka is getting lucky. Clueless.
he's just playing amazing tennis
I'm happy Roger won, I will be more happy if nadal win tomorrow's match with Gregor cos it will mean that my two tennis idol is in the final once again after a long time.
Simply the GOAT. 🐐 ⭐️ 🇨🇭
this was an unbelievably candid interview in which roger yet again proved how much he loves rafa and respects him a lot. massive respect to fedal 😍
the best and most humble player in the world.. he will always have my great respect!
Federer is too good...amazing match
"I don't take injury time outs. Stan already took his" [thug life music starts playing]
Max W né hallow
hallaw
Roger fan so would obviously love to see him win but Nadal is so good AGAIN and Dimitrov has come so far that it would be a shame if he didn't win. wish all of them the best luck, obviously Roger is my favorite but whoever wins or whoever we see play on Sundan, it's going to be magnificent.
Ilma Okanovic Roger Should Win
Ilma Okanovic Roger won!! Hell yeah!! 🏆😄
I've been a fan of Federer's for such a long time, so excited how this going to turn out. love both!
So epic to have the 2 greatest tennis players in a final once again!!
Amazing Gentleman. Speak and act of class. Thank you for all the moments Roger
Rafael Nadal ranks at number 9 this year and won against Federer in AO 2009. Roger Federer ranks at number 17 and will win against Nadal in Australian Open 2017? We all know it's a difficult match for Fed to win. Just BEL18VE signs are real.
Damn this guy is like the politician of tennis world, meaning he really knows how to talk. No wonder why he is always the crowd favorite. It is like he always have the perfect words and the perfect speech besides been a fantastic player.
this is another fed's best interview next to AO 2010 semi final which he went on to win the final. so hopefully this year is the same 😊
What an interview!!! That actually had some feels right there.
Classiest sportsman of all time...guy oozes likeability. Hope he wins 18...tough match against either opponent beckons.
Welcome to 2022, he not only wins 18th, but also wins 19th and 20th.
what a class act! there's no sportsman that's more humble and honest at the same time. GOAT
This guy is just full of class ...Tomorrow is a win win situation for me being a fan of both Rafa and Roger
look at the 2 dislikes from stan and magnus xx
6:23 that part especially is absolutely PRICELESS! dear god it's such a bomb to see Roger and Rafa both somehow playing amazing tennis again and maybe playing another legendary match on sunday. all fingers crossed.
congrates roger, love u............
"I think I am his number one fan, of Rafa."
Did Sampras ever say this about Agassi? Did any other greatest rivalry resemble such a class act?
How privileged are we to be able to witness this grace
#Nike please if we're gonna have an all classic Slam Final, put these guys in some throwbacks outfits!
what a man, from the injury jokes, to the rafa story about being old crippled instructors at his academy to maybe a grand slam final. THem and the Williams sisters in a final?? Is it 2004 again?
aswerty911
history will repeat itself
He's such an amazing ambassador for the sport
Federer is a nice guy . He speaks every time with such a style
If he made the finals here, no doubt in my wind that he will conquer Wimbledon
Navid Namini you are right.
the prophet speaks! lol
Sooo want Roger to win, the sheer beauty of his play is such a joy to watch, no one is comparable or ever will be. Roger will always be number ONE.
What a great interview, Roger is really laid-back and giving out cool and clever answers! Love it.
King Roger, I bow down to you...You are the man! Thanks for helping make this a FANTASTIC Ausie Open, along with Venus and Serena! Nedal now needs to do his part in making this a dream tourny. If Nedal comes thru I can say I will 100% not have any favorites between the four legends (Venus, Roger, Serena, Nedal). All are my favorites and whoever wins would be a joyful story to have experienced.
GOAT of interviews as well (though Roddick was close)
I hope the final will be Roger vs Rafa
Roger Federer will win the AUS OPEN!!!!!!!!
Clash Of Clans-Basics And Gaming He won!! 🏆
What a fucking legend
What's with the audience people yelling single comments.. Roger can't even hear you, and it's just rude when the man is talking
Me corro solo de pensar en una final Federer-Nadal
Federers showing today will get him obliterated by an average Nadal
+computermaster Roger has a record of underperforming in finals in recent years, so not sure why you seem so confident
computermaster r
Besides Roger underperforming, he knows this is one of his last chances to win a GS, so he'll have even more pressure now that he is in it. Alongside that, if Nadal reaches the final, he will try to make it physical and with long rallies to wear Roger down. I don't know why Fed fans want Nadal in the final.

I don't know how everyone is so excited and confident Roger will win if Rafa goes through. I'm rooting for Dimitrov all the way, and if Rafa wins, it's game over.
Dude, Nadal never lost against Federer in Australian Open. What makes you think Fed can do it now?
Come again
It is good to see Roger acknowledging not only Rafa's greatness, but also addressing some facts about their H2H beyond the simplistic view that Nadal is a better player, because the numbers favor him.
What a classy guy
I could watch Roger's interviews all day
He is such a good interview!!
A statue needs to be erected on this man's honour before he even finishes his playing career. We're looking at a living, breathing legend.
so good to see Roger so relaxed and happy! I wish him the best for this season.
I must admit I never really liked him as a person, but he is a fantastic player. What he said about my hero Rafa, made me like him a bit more. Thank you Roger! But still, I would love to see Rafa win the title! ( If he gets to the final!)
GTFO.
What a champion, true gentleman !
I find tennis players are honest in their interviews, but unlike NFL and NBA pro players, they get the interview and press thing down...much smoother...
Federer is so coy about using the injury timeout to help with momentum hahaha
