i broke down yesterday, it was so tough to see. When rafa cried, It got me. I cried just because i will never see my idol again. Thanks ROger. Ever the best, GOAT if we want. For my, nobody can be before him
That match was surreal to watch. Happy he and Nadal managed to make it a close affair. What an emotional ending that was. Nadal breaking down almost got to me.
My 20 year old grew up playing junior tennis. He had a national ranking and played college tennis. Tomorrow will be his first day without Federer. He was in tears watching Federer's last match. Thank you Roger for it all.
We all are very lucky to have watched Roger at his peak. He was and will be way above every one else, in a own league of himself. The greatest ever. Miss you Roger.
@@oxymorophile Of course. During this era, he established 2 of the most impressive records of tennis' history, the series of victories against the world top 10 without losing even a single match. He didn't lose during 2 and 1/2 years against any of the best 10 players on the planet (well, the 9 other, as he can't play against himself), making an incredible huge series of 24 victories. Then, the second best series of history is 17 victories without losing eve 1 game, and this series has bee made by... Federer, again. The 2nd best player has a record which is "only" the half of Fed's 1st series, 12, and it's not RN nor ND, but Sampras (or Agassi, a lil doubt). Then, RN & ND have records around 9-10. They never won more than 9-10 times in a row Vs the top 10, while Fed did win 17 times, and even 24 times back to back.
Pffff, can't stop crying! The ceremony of retirement was the most moving thing I saw in my life... and I lived a lot, as i'm the age of my great compatriot Roger Federer. Nadal cried almost as much as Roger. Mirka, Lynette and Robert, and the 4 kids of Roger, all the family cried a lot too of course. I saw Tsitsipas crying, Ruud a bit, Berrettini too, Taylor Fritz also, and even ND cracked up in the end; and many spectators obviously. Easier to count the people who didn't cry at all.
Meanwhile.... Andy Murray: wanders around casually, cracking jokes trying to cheer the other players up, to no avail Cameron Norrie: "what am I doing here?" 😂
Seeing him play was a surriel experience. What a player he is!I still remember 2012 Wimbledon final, he was playing against home grown kid Murray but people was supporting Roger.
Well done Roger you were a great champion. It’s fascinating that despite all the Roger-Rafa rivalry, they never played each other in the US open and remain great friends.
The US Open account could have specified while remembering his 5 titles there, that he won them in a row, which is one of his countless records, 5 titles back to back at the US open.
I remember one of the most greatest amazing matches of this legend to watch how he not only inspired himself also the entire croud by returning from to sets behind he came through out of nowhere. It was phenomenal and warm to watch. An inspiration in tennis history. Such a great amazing legend lots a thanks Roger. A privilege to watch such an amazing legend❤️😃
Only got to see him once live in the Australian Open & the only word that i can use watching him play was "Magician"-Simply a Magician! He & Rafael are are a class above anyone else & i am not talking about tennis skills.
Behind Lynette (Roger's mother, sitting in the front row, between Mirka - Roger's girlfriend since they met at the Olympic Games of Sydney, 22 years ago, both being part of the swiss tennis team there, his wife since 2009 and mother of their 2 pairs of twins - and Tony Godsick - Federer's agent) at 6:24, I recognize a basketball player, but don't remember his name. Anyway, love his reaction, he's totally amazed by the GO.A.T. of sport, and deservebly.
The mighty "Fed", gave us 23 years of tennis at its best. He was one of a kind. The young guns have the job in front of them to match his lasting legacy.
Forget all of Roger's amazing feats for a second... To win ONE GS is unbelievable in it's self... But to win The US Open 5 year's on the trot and to win Wimbledon 5 year's on the trot and it could of been been 6 but for possibly the greatest match in history against Rafa it would of been... Roger has set records will never ever be reached never mind beaten in this or any other lifetime !!!
Yo recuerdo a Federer cuando practicamente debuto como profecional, era aun un jovencito, pero como Nadal y el serbio, y hoy Alcaraz dejaron ya en su primer macht bien sentado que tenian pasta de compeones. Roger Federer!! Gracias por los partidos que nos diste comom un principe que fuistes. Chau!!!
Roger won djokovic ( thrashed him neck & crop) very easily us open in year 2007,2008 & 2009, but djoko won with great difficulty against an aged Roger federer( all 5 sets) in year 2010, 2011& 2015. Federer should have easily won US open in year 2010,2011, 2015, as he was clearly a much better player in these 3 matches
@@mahalakshmid8613 Stop the madness. 2011 he should've won the SF, yes. 2015 should've been five sets, and he still would have had work to do. BP conversion rate strikes again.
The us open,was the surprising grand slam of dominated in the early 2000s , and not winning it for over 10 years he would of been 25+ grand slam.and the french open is understandable , with the greatest clay court player of all time in rafa
7:42, Youzhny, one of the favorite victims of the Maestro. 17 victories to 0 for RF against him; same number against David Ferrer, although Roger played him many times when Ferrer was world n°3 and n°4; but David never beat Goliath in this case. Then, the 19-2 vs Davydenko, the 21-3 against Roddick and the 23-3 Vs. Wawrinka r his other great results in the H2Hs.
best tennis player but the media won't give him credit because he is not black. If he was Black, they would put pictures of him all over the media. Praise him, call him the GOAT. Put him on the beast athlete of the era list. This is really sad. He is the greatest.
Yea media doesnt give him ANY, not even a little credit. Of course because Roger isnt black. Disgusting how Tiafoe was the center of attention the last couple days, obviously only cuz he is black… You got it
After 2008 no uso ... Well after 2008 he won only 8ish slams in a span of 13 years.. His slam tally dried .... Let's see 3wimbledons, one rg, 3 oz, no uso... Very dry spell...
@@fg92626 fed was infact just two points from victory in wimby 2008. So had he won weak era wud hv lasted till AO 2010??! What a joke🤡 face it…feds consistency from 2003 to 2009 was remarkable with 04 - 06 being absolute peak. 08-09 his confidence took a hit against everyone esp in non majors.
@@fg92626 2009 Madrid was too strong for nadal . Their levels were pretty even in 08-09 (except rg) at this point with feds confidence taking a hit on big stages.
The only player in history to take this long to retire, all the while milking every last drop of his endorsements. Then he gets a king's farewell to rake in even more eyeballs. Shameless.

His backhand shot (single handed) is flawless. Its special. Its the trademark of Roger.
That is what he should be remembered for, his open chested backhand. A unique weapon indeed.
It ended up being his weakness but without a doubt the best looking shot in history
@@kevinchang5082 It ended up as his strength
@@AbhijeetSingh-ed3lw his one handler looked great but unfortunately it’s actually a weak shot
His forehand was his hest shot.
His last dance today at the laver cup was truly heartwarming.
Truely one of the all-time greats!
He did so much for the sport.
Glad to have been there for his entire career. What a priviledge.
That match was surreal to watch. Happy he and Nadal managed to make it a close affair. What an emotional ending that was. Nadal breaking down almost got to me.
such a melancholic feeling after that match finished
Federer and Nadal should have won the match

Federer’s 5 consecutive US Open title is so underrated. To win it for 5 years in a row is almost an impossible feat to achieve
We all are very lucky to have watched Roger at his peak. He was and will be way above every one else, in a own league of himself. The greatest ever. Miss you Roger.
Surely one of the greatest of all time if not the greatest
Roger Federer is the greatest Tennis Player the world.We will miss him. Thanks.
Crazy to think Roger never won the USO again after doing so five times in a row, and crazier to think that he and Nadal never met there.
5 times in a row... which is anyway an all times record, and 6 finals in a row adding 2009.
But yes, crazy, I agree.
An enigma!
2009 in 5 sets too ^^ so.. but he was closely invincible between 2004 and 2008
He would have won it in 2017 if he hadn't injured himself prior to the tournament.

No one can match his dominance, not even jokovich, when he is on weak, no one can beat him, true legend
6,0 at rg against Nadal..

He may not be the GOAT for many. But, he will always be people's champion for sure. the forever irreplaceable - one and only - Roger Federer!!
