You are correct Roger's wonderful reflexes and his super all round play meant he would have been an excellent doubles player .He did win Olympic Gold with Stan W which indicates his ability . His mixed Doubles play was also very successful.
@@danguee1 Yep. Made the 2014 USO final, and was crushed by Cilic. Cilic, Del Potro were definitely better than him as well. I mean, Kevin freaking Anderson made it to two GS finals.
@@davd1986 these guys are all giants compared to nishikori. tennis is much more difficult when you're under 6 feet tall. goes to show how good he really was
Some of the most stunning modern doubles I've ever watched! Stan and Roger could easily have won multiple slams if they'd played together more. Nishikori absolutely awesome here - and his partner was pretty good, too.
@@Thebtfgame 11:34. Is it legal that the ball touched stan's racquet twice? The ball hit stan's web of the racquet, and then the ball jumped to the frame of stan's racquet. I suspect the japanese should have won that point if we saw some close-zommed replays.
It would be so much fun to have Feder as doubles partner, he jokes, he laughs, he hit first serves over 120, he can volley any shot, and he’s can hit overheads. I am only 5’7 so I can literally sit on his shoulder like a little kid and blast overheads! 😊 I seen a doubles match where he played against Agassi and Nadal, and his partner was Pete Sampras and he even made Sampras laugh out loud, and Nadal couldn’t stop smiling at Feders jokes! Feder was so funny he stole the show with him and Agassi were very funny playing against each other! This match was so amazing also and makes want to go play some doubles!
Could make the same argument for a lot of singles players. Becker, Sampras, Edberg, Ivanisevic, even Connors could've achieved more in doubles had he given up on singles Massive what if considering Federer played very little doubles and was far from dominant when he did
Yeah, he could've for sure... perhaps even more so in the second part of his career, whith that extreme attack disposition and taking the ball extremely early.
Absolutely. I've been watching this game for 45 years and seen the best doubles player of all time - Mcenroe - a number of times. I've seen Roger in the flesh only once but have watched lots of him on video including some brilliant doubles. He just needed to play (quite a bit) more and I reckon he would have surpassed Mcenroe. His doubles court-craft is excellent as it is - but you need to be playing week in week out to hone it (as Mcenroe did).....
Hi The BTFGAME. Loved this video and never seen this match before. May I ask where you got the footage from? I need some points from this full match for one of my own videos ;) Much appreciated in advance
I think it was connected to not not enough hours in a day and the fact that Singles is better rewarded than Doubles. Remember Roger and Stan were close friends and shared a physio but as I said earlier it is time consuming to play both Singles and Doubles especially when you often have a bad back.
Then you haven’t watched enough doubles. Modern day singles is just two ball machines going against each other. Doubles is much more explosive and dynamic. Not even the same game.
@@jMonty5265 Professional men's double matches are too serve dominated. Not enough variety to showcase and entertain. Mixed and women's doubles matches are actually more entertaining because you see a lot of different game styles
@@LuisP10s Have you seen men’s singles? That is the definition of serve dominance. It’s all big serves and big first shot. Doubles has movement, fakes, poaching and just trying to set up put aways. Yes the points are fast. But I would rather watch a serve fight in doubles than serve bots in singles.
@@jMonty5265 Men's singles is definitely not serve dominated. Otherwise the Big 3 would be Isner, Karlovic, and Raonic 🤣. You see more variety of styles in singles because you have a lot more space to work with. It's just a natural thing. I do agree that serve bots are more entertaining to watch in doubles than singles (like Isner/Sock playing doubles).
@@LuisP10s You do know that the reason the big three are the big three is because they serve extremely well and back it up with big shots. Fed built his game around his serve and forehand, nadal is spin serve and then bully you with forehands, and djoker went from good to goat when his serve finally clicked. Yes the singles is serve dominated. Dubs just emphasizes it with the net play.

Federer-Wawrinka vs Nishikori-Soeda Olympic Games London 2012 1R
PD: Federer and Wawrinka lost surprisingly on the next round against Israel
What the hell???
Why is this match insane? Liar
@@antoinesavoit8657 Well, that Israeli team won the Aus open 2008 in doubles :)
So Federer and Wawrinka withdrew ?
You are correct Roger's wonderful reflexes and his super all round play meant he would have been an excellent doubles player .He did win Olympic Gold with Stan W which indicates his ability . His mixed Doubles play was also very successful.
What a player was Nishikori, in his prime he was a real deal
typical braindead fans spitting "prime" like it's nothing when they don't even know jack about tennis nowadays
Nishikori was such a player
4:12 the reflexes on this point are insane!
Kei is probably the most underrated tennis player, ever. Crazy how his rarely talked about despite all his achievements
definitely
He was mid-to-low top-10 on average. The Big 3, Murray and Stan were solidly ahead of him through his career. He wasn't that special, tbh.....
@@danguee1 Yep. Made the 2014 USO final, and was crushed by Cilic. Cilic, Del Potro were definitely better than him as well. I mean, Kevin freaking Anderson made it to two GS finals.

He is 『添田豪』Go Soeda
he is now the leader of JPN international team for Devis cup!!
I was surprised how well Soeda played amongst those other three!!
The angle , placements and touch were reminiscent of the old wood racket days... very fun to watch! Thank you.
nishikori has such great reflexes at the net
Olympics and their stingy copyright is why we have been kept from such a beautiful game. Thanks for posting!😊
Perhaps, most of the Japanese people don't know this amazing match. Thank you so much for sharing the video.
知ってます
It's a pleasure to see two one-handed players playing together
god, those fans witnessed a great match live....i wish i could have seen this
Nishikori’s partner is the captain of Japanese Davis cup team now
こんな試合があったとは…
めっちゃ新鮮だ
錦織とフェデラーっていう一番好きな選手2人が闘ってる姿が感慨深い
ロンドンオリンピックはシングルスもダブルスも良試合かなり多かった記憶

こんな綺麗に残ってたんや
Federer looks so cool in this outfit
Federer in red on the green Wimbledon lawns was a sight to behold. Good old days.
It would be so much fun to have Feder as doubles partner, he jokes, he laughs, he hit first serves over 120, he can volley any shot, and he’s can hit overheads.

Roger also achieves great results in singles, doubles and mixed doubles.
He is truly a tennis god 👑🇨🇭
wow, sick points, just amazing
Thanks for posting
Melihat Federer main tenis, olahraga ini terlihat mudah sekali...
What a great match. That's one to show the students for sure.
この試合、錦織のパートナーを務めた添田豪はシングルスのATPランキングで最高47位(2012年)を記録した選手です
ロンドンオリンピック開催の数ヶ月前にはこの試合の対戦相手であるワウリンカをストレート(6-4,6-4)で下したこともあります
この年に初のTOP50入りと自己最高位を記録したものの、オリンピック出場のために行ったポイントの稼ぎ方で一部から批判を浴びることになりました
その是非はともかくとして、この名試合が生まれた背景には添田のオリンピック出場が関わっていることを考えると、少し見方が変わってくるかもしれませんね
That's some great context
それだけオリンピックに対して出たい気持ちが強かったんだろうな！
負けはしたけどフェデラー、ワウ相手に、パワーは劣っても日本人らしい鉄壁の守備で互角に戦っていた。
素晴らしい試合でした。
ポイント集めの何が批判されたんや？
@@洗顔ブラシ 下部大会に多く出場したんです
ランキング40位台となればATPツアーに出場した上でポイントを獲得していそうなものですが、添田はチャレンジャーなどに多く出場していました
その結果、順位と実力が見合っていないと批判を浴びることになります
実際に添田はキャリアを通して、ATPツアー以上の大会では目立った成績を残せていません
例えば松岡修造のキャリアハイはシングルス46位ですが、ウィンブルドンベスト8、ソウルオープン優勝などの実績がありますし、批判の意図は理解できます
＞この名試合が生まれた背景には添田のオリンピック出場が関わっていることを考えると、
ちょっと何が言いたいのかよくわからない。
背景も何も、添田本人が出てるんだから添田が出てなければ生まれていない名試合なのは当たり前では？オリンピック出場してないとこの場にいないでしょ？
Pure gold
Federer imo could have been the best doubles player ever
No he couldn't
@@eduardo-cf1iw he’s last net player of a tennis, sure he should
Could make the same argument for a lot of singles players. Becker, Sampras, Edberg, Ivanisevic, even Connors could've achieved more in doubles had he given up on singles

何が素晴らしいって、両チームのすべてのプレイヤーが楽しそうにテニスやってるところさ
Wow, incredible match!
Federer/Wawrinka é apelação.
Stan and his amazing serve
Wow man thank you for this ❤
Why the fuck is this match better than most of the professional doubles' matches?
cuz none of these are doubles specialists and the balls would be dead earlier most of the times.
@@MrMirc27good point. But i´m not sure if I agree 100%.
Because it featured 3 well known singles players
Love Stan!
Why does the title say Federer vs Nishikori, but fail to mention their partners?
Because it would be to large
Having Federer one of the best one handed backhand ever, they decided that Wawrinka should play the backhand side on return. Taht says a lot.
well Fed's FH is top 2 in the world so he should cover the FH side as well
Insane quality shotmaking
Amazing match !
錦織ってこんなボレーのキャッチ上手かったんやな。流石トッププレイヤーだわ。
This was a time Fed would spin his racket in between these quick exchanges or when he served & volleyed ! Sick!
Is this center court of Wimbledon?
Federer is the greatest no one can beat him at his best
Well said Saint.

Hopefully Federer could come back for some exhibition with Alcaraz or Sinner.
Very nice volley 🎾
Excellent 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 😃
Man, I miss Roger on the tennis court so much!
Federer literally dancing from 6:50 to 6:55
Son, let me tell you the story of a god, two legends and rando McBob
Nidhikori man🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😦
Commentator has a perfect level of English)))
Wym 🤔
Nishi got some hands!
Where can i watch the full match??
nishikori is a very good volleyer
God vs God!!!
What reflexes by nishikori. Among the best ive seen
High level tennis
Nishikori was one of those fellas like Simon, for some reason only brought the best of himself vs Fed, much like Fognini only did vs Nadal
Why did Roger and Stan not continue playing doubles together. Would've add so many more titles to their names.
Taxing to play singles and dubs in same tournament
I think it was connected to not not enough hours in a day and the fact that Singles is better rewarded than Doubles. Remember Roger and Stan were close friends and shared a physio but as I said earlier it is time consuming to play both Singles and Doubles especially when you often have a bad back.
完成度高すぎる
This IS Tennis.....

Do they not have some discussion before coming out about what "team" colours to wear? 😛
Eres español verdad?
Everyone were so young.
Never knew Nishikori had such good hands.
I miss Roger.
この時のにしこりふつうにかっかえ
9:36 NPC moment?🤯💀
D record of JohnnyMac ( d doubles GOAT ) could b broken just by Goaterer imao 🚀
They have the same flag colors
I thought Fed was going to choke away another service game for the match!
添田ダブルス上手いよね😊
日本小將表現不俗，給兩大球王很大的壓力
What do you mean 'Never Seen Before?'
are u spanish?
Amazing Nippon Player 멋진 일본팀
2:42 net! How could you!?
Did you see how hard Stan hit some forehands? Cannon balls😂😊
Stans' serve was a bomb😮
insane? chile vs germany athens 2004. 6-2 4-6 3-6 7-6 6-4 3 hours 43 minutes.
hazlo en español macho que se nota que eres español xD
I understand sponsors and the colors of your country, but you cannot be allowed to play a tennis doubles with 4 players dressed the same.
I thought the same!
It's not like football or other sports where players share the same court but it was confusing for sure. 😄
Volley battle looks like Wii sports 😅
pffff athens final 2004
"you've never seen" is incorrect, and so is your English in general.
Nish/Soe were playing in the trees. They NEVER played that well and never will again.
Duh, Nishikori is nearing the end of his career and Soeda was a one-time wonder.
声援の差かな…
