  • Gill explains why the Roger Federer documentary, "Federer: 12 Final Days" was a far above average sports production well worth watching. Great access, narrow focus and the prominent inclusion of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Bjorn Borg were key factors. Gill also shares the story of being live on Tennis Channel at the time Federer announced his retirement.

    this is a great review - but you mixed up me and asif :-) I was the one who filmed Roger during the days and Asif is the one who took the project to a larger film on Amazon. Thanks for enjoying though!!

    My favourite part of the documentary was the brief, but incredibly impactful moments between Roger and Rafa and Roger and Nole. Roger said something personal to Nole that day, which clearly meant a lot to them both. Those moments were very special.

    Something else I enjoyed were the brief scenes with Mirka. Roger has often talked about how important she is to him and to his career, but we have rarely heard from her. I loved the way she said she will miss watching Roger play, she was a fan too.

    • @shawnberry9335

      Through her fingers Mirka watched Roger play Nole. Must’a been like watching a horror film.

    Firstly, Gill, your content has been elite, but your thumbnails have gone up a notch this year! Love it, man :)).
    Secondly, the impact Roger has had on tennis continues to astonish me. Not just how fans adored and felt grief when he retired, but extending to his three biggest rivals. It's safe to say that Roger brought tennis into the mainstream with how he played, and the likes of Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray became better versions of themselves to challenge him. Even though he may no longer hold all-time records, Roger still casts a shadow and aura over tennis that I doubt will ever be surpassed.

    • @ioaninmihail6470
      @ioaninmihail6470 3 місяці тому

      He still has two important records that can't be surpassed by Djokovic, the record for most consecutive week as number one, 237 weeks, and the record for getting 5 Wimbledons and 5 US Open GS back to back, Wimbledon-2003-2007, US Open-2004-2008. Of course for now he has also the record for the most Wimbledons but might be tied up that record or even worse, just look what a cakewalk draw Djokovic has in this year Wimbledon, a qualifier, a wildcard player and a clay specialist, the first three matches.

    • @shawnberry9335

      Fed fans also “felt grief” when Roger played, especially when Roger played Nole.

    4:16 someone should do a meme documentary like that, short and ironically rehashing the big moments with footage that's slightly off, and over the top

  • @shawnberry9335
    @shawnberry9335 3 місяці тому +3

    I miss Chokerer. First he would clear out 1/4 or 1/2 the draw. Then he’d lose to Nole, often in spectacular fashion, leaving people in RF hats in tears.

    Tired of Federer. Has he not had his time in the spotlight? When is it enough? Went to a supermarket today. Federer on a Barlilla commercial poster. On youtube and everywhere this documentary etc. It is time for others now.
