Even if he doesn't win again, #19 or #20, he will still go down on top and will have most likely rested his case as the greatest of all time, I don't know if Nadal or Djokovic will ever catch Federer's #18.
The question isnt if he stays healthy, its IF the new gen doesnt get any better and its clear they are improving and have proven they are great contenders. You cannot also forget Stan, Novak and Andy. I bet Nadal wont get any better and its just downhill from here. He largely depends on his endurance, and endurance fades away as you age. Federer relies more on his technique, thats why he still can win a Major.
Definitely Djokovic is not going to do it he looks like he is going to retire soon. Rafa can but I think the kind of game he plays is very hard on his body so I don't know how long he will stay healthy.
Mirthula Govindaraj Djokovic is in a dip compared to his amazing form a year or so ago but he will definitely win more slams. Don't count him out. Don't think he or Nadal will catch fed now though.
If u r a true tennis player, u should understand what Fed said humbly & honestly "I was lucky& I enjoyed that". With 5-set matches, many players are super "close".
Jessie Chan Same here I cannot stop feeling the emotions and the tears naturally flow from my eyes. Just to think that since Wimbledon 2012 we have waited 4.5 years. 3 grand slam finals lost during that stretch to Djokovic and now after coming back from 6 month injury, beating 4 top 10 players in this tournament and 3 of them in 5 sets, beating his kryptonite Nadal in the final after being down 3-1 in the final set. It is just unbelievable. The emotions of this match r just the best I have ever felt. I cannot forget this moment ever.
Some really genuine affection from Roger to Rafa in the speech...saying he wished there could be a draw and he would have been happy losing to him. I think Rog has come to see Rafa as a younger brother of sorts. Beautiful.
For the Legend King Roger Federer: they say Alber Einstein is the a name synonymous with the word 'Genius', similarly, Roger Federer is the answer when asked what is tennis?
"I had them on Face Time, or Skype, or whatever you call it..." - I guess that's the proof right there of Roger's age, and why this win is all the more impressive. Rafa played great too. Nice to see the two oldest players in the tournament roll back the clock and remind everyone why they are legends.
RF's timeless, precision, agility & dexterity.... the Swiss maestro. He's the very essence of tennis in every move, offensive, defensive, backhand, forehand, serve and volley, topspin or slice.... This epic AO final was like a bullfight, Nadal was the bull while Federer, the matador.
Love both Roger and Rafa as a tennis fan!! The rivalry is nostalgic and still alive!! Big thanks and love to them making tennis what it is today and for the generations to come!!
"The whole world this, the whole world that"..f the world..it´s fucked up already. Ask him tennis questions about the match. The joke at the 3:59 is so awkward and unnecessary, and it´s even hypocritical.
Tennis as religious experience. No words for this epic moment. Immeasurable.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 18 majors and counting
I am a huge nole fan but seriously what roger did at 35 the other big 4s can not do imho. The reason is simple, Rogers game is delicate and ageless. Nadal, if stay healthy, will have no 15 soon at RG
If you were Rafa in that situation, what else would you do? You've got no choice but to challenge it. Rafa shrugged his shoulders as if 'why not, I can challenge, what other choice do I have, even though the call is probably right?'. The ball was well in and right on the line but I'm sure Roger would've challenged that if he were in Rafa's shoes.
what would you do if you pour your heart and soul into doing what they do... do you put your heart and soul into the things that you do? If not you will never understand... if you do then you know... 18
PotholesInMyLawn well the only time Rafa won the Aussie open his moment was taken away by fed during the ceremony. I'm happy fed won yesterday and that both Rafa and him were in the final. But it was rafa's time in the sun in 2009 and unfortunately it was taken away from him. Hopefully he gets another shot
PotholesInMyLawn not that I got any problems with athletes crying. But it got to the point were the ceremony was about consoling fed instead of celebrating Nadal's achievement
I think this interviewer is really good. He seems to be prepared for the interview, is excited about his task and has a lovely conversation. Much better than those boring questions asked at the press conferences IMO

A blogger said Roger was a "poet". Any doubt? His backhand are improbable. Mathematically speaking. Shine on you crazy diamond! (Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here) And Rafa is a "Matador". Great, he leaves is balls and heart in every match, every match is do or die. Waiting for Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows. Roland Garros is Rafa´s turf.
he has hinted that he might retire next year in another interview :( I must go n watch him play this year on court..either dubai open or wimbledon before he retires
When even the opponents respect you, you know that person is true gentleman I was literally crying when he lost first point in final set!!! I thought he lost it again in familiar way to Rafa "winning position and letting it go" And I got the tears in my eyes when that review showed that ball was in :)
Thank God, Roger is still with us! Win or loose, it´s a delight to see I´m play. It´s like in soccer, Messi can be the best payed, but Maradona is still the best player alive. Roger should be banned from ATP. He must be a ET in disguise, out of this world!
Federer's wrong when he says it's a good thing Nadal didn't play the point because it was never called out to begin with. If it was called out and Nadal made a play for the point, and it was reversed as "in" they would have had to reply the point.
"you won the australian open just to remind you" ah ah so cute😆
federer is the man who creates miracles😊👑
Amazing match from both.
Definitely the most important rivalry of all time
SilverShion well done Roger.I'm confident Rafa can win a slam this year
ian laing French for sure
Apaar Maheshwari Roger deserved it.but Rafa Is back on form
Yeah he deserved it. Roger lost really close last 3 finals. I really wanted him to win this one.
Apaar Maheshwari hopefully no one can touch 18.but I want Rafa to win more
Even if he doesn't win again, #19 or #20, he will still go down on top and will have most likely rested his case as the greatest of all time, I don't know if Nadal or Djokovic will ever catch Federer's #18.
36, 37? I don't want to see Rafa breaking his legs on court.

Col Conno I don't think Nadal will win another French nor another major. His last French was in 2014, other last GS was 2013 US Open.
If u r a true tennis player, u should understand what Fed said humbly & honestly "I was lucky& I enjoyed that". With 5-set matches, many players are super "close".
Federer makes tennis look beautiful
THE GOAT
GREAT 18 FED
make some good soup in that trophy lol
Lol that made me laugh
am i the only one who still get so emotional after a few hours of the match? this vid is making me cry as well :')
Jessie Chan no same here fan of GOAT n after watchin I just cant help but fall in love wd him deeply n completely luv u roger😙

waiting for this moment for 5 yrs
This interviewer is pretty good. Get him on something bigger. Reminds me of Nick Swardson lol
OMG NO HES TERRIBLE
mmm6325 terrible interviewer
In fact, the interviewer never really engaged in Roger's answers...
Problem I have with him is he makes Trumpish gestures, we have enough of one asshole doing those
I agree, he's great!
Some really genuine affection from Roger to Rafa in the speech...saying he wished there could be a draw and he would have been happy losing to him. I think Rog has come to see Rafa as a younger brother of sorts. Beautiful.
Am I still dreaming?....🎾🏆♛...
+Shaurya 181 No! It's 18 likes and 18 GS.
BEL19VE 🐐🇨🇭🎾🏆
Johanna BVB yes let's get another Wimbledon or us open ?
Why not french :) Bel19ve :)
BEL20VE
Roger v Rafa again at Roland Garros. If Roger wins, we can bel21ve.
Johanna BVB I wish that 19 would be Wimbledon 2017.
The GOAT! Congrats Roger!!
For the Legend King Roger Federer: they say Alber Einstein is the a name synonymous with the word 'Genius', similarly, Roger Federer is the answer when asked what is tennis?
Wow....that's an awesome line..jus like d endless down the line shots Fed hit today:) Congrats to you too, proud member of the RF wrld:)
Some say there isn't a video where Harry doesn't comment what a guy
Denis Evans it is my madness for tennis and love for these legends ♥
Venkatesh Sowdarpally hell yessss....i really hope he doesnt retire this year...he was indicating that in the interview !! :(
Harry Smart I noticed that. I really hope he doesn't as well. but if he happens to win Wimbledon this year, it'd be a great way to go.
We love you Roger !!
Federer feels Super special and happy but he's actually the super special! Class apart!! FEDERER IS TENNIS
Fucking right. GOAT. The best or nothing.
I hope they are happy at home.. Are you kidding Roger? I am from Switzerland and you are making us the proudest people on the world!
Roger's other 17 pots got too rusty for cooking. The new one should suffice for a few more years of soup.
Lol I fell out of my chair when his kids said it would make some great soup
"I had them on Face Time, or Skype, or whatever you call it..." - I guess that's the proof right there of Roger's age, and why this win is all the more impressive. Rafa played great too. Nice to see the two oldest players in the tournament roll back the clock and remind everyone why they are legends.
Federer = Class!
im spanish and im Happy too
Congratulations Legend. You made me love tennis and jeep going to have my dreams come true
the interviewer's left hand movement channeling his inner Trump.

Ohhh Roger. How beautiful you are in every way!! Love you love your game love your humbling nature.

YES EXACTLY SABO!
i firmly believe that there would be a day when we can use the synonym of TENNIS as ROGER FEDERER.
Fed fans love Rafa and Rafa fans love federer .. unlike messi and Ronaldo fans .. privileged to be a fan of this sport.
The world gets happy when this guy wins. How's that for an impact, huh? 😎
I think this interviewer is really good. He seems to be prepared for the interview, is excited about his task and has a lovely conversation. Much better than those boring questions asked at the press conferences IMO
You made us happy Roger 🇨🇭
best legs in the business
I love this man.

Mmm, nothing like some post Grand Slam Victory Trophy Soup!
"I'm happy it didn't disappoint me"
Hahahaha because hawk eye is always against Roger
I don't think the interviewer could function without his hands...tried tying him up for a challenge?
A blogger said Roger was a "poet". Any doubt? His backhand are improbable. Mathematically speaking.
Shine on you crazy diamond! (Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here)
And Rafa is a "Matador". Great, he leaves is balls and heart in every match, every match is do or die.
Waiting for Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows.
Roland Garros is Rafa´s turf.
you all heard King Fed say "all out attack!!! if he was down no more nice guy to make opponent happy.
If roger play concistent like the first set,i'm realy sure he can get what he want tobe winner
A great champion we love you Roger ,you are the best ever
he has hinted that he might retire next year in another interview :( I must go n watch him play this year on court..either dubai open or wimbledon before he retires
18
well, it's actually a championship point
He sounds very south african lol
What taste it mi bee that beer if I drink it from that cup ?
A CHAMPION IN HIS OWN MAKING. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The game was amazing. Federer AND Nadal were amazing so ... it's a perfect combination~
LONG LIVES THE KING OF TENNIS !!!!!
Swiss not Switzerlands😃
Speak for yourself. It disappointed Rafa fans. Respect Roger but very flat when Rafa doesn't win
tinker bell But it was a great match nonetheless. I am also a rafa fan
More Soup!
i wish i could do some interviews with roger and stop asking the same questions.
When even the opponents respect you, you know that person is true gentleman
I was literally crying when he lost first point in final set!!! I thought he lost it again in familiar way to Rafa "winning position and letting it go"
And I got the tears in my eyes when that review showed that ball was in :)
Fucking scummy loser.
do they keep the trophy for ever?
Thank God, Roger is still with us! Win or loose, it´s a delight to see I´m play.
It´s like in soccer, Messi can be the best payed, but Maradona is still the best player alive.
Roger should be banned from ATP. He must be a ET in disguise, out of this world!
NICK!!!
CONGRATULATIONS ROGER!
YOU DEFINITELY DESERVE THIS WIN!
YWxkcmlu osu! yup all da way he 's so cute n humble
Federer's right calf is huge!
Instant classic match
