Have been watching tennis around 40 years, right from Bjorn Borg to Carlos Alcaraz. Roger is the best and legend of legends.
I never saw any other top tennis player loose a match and even a GS final with a total lack of courage and even dignity a RF did in RG 2008 final… worst GS final ever, I insist, it was not only the score but the terrible attitude he had… from Borg to Alcaraz I never saw something like that….

You are blind if you don't talk like that about djokovic lol
@@vvaltierra5556 ... Don't waste time on replying to others comment.
@@vvaltierra5556 Clay has never been Roger's favorite surface; too slow for him. Not only that, over the years they changed the surface of hard courts and grass courts to slow down the speed of balls on the courts for players like Nadal and Djokovic.
@@Plumeria3494 That’s not the point… all of them have lost and won many times… however, honestly speaking only RF has lost with total lack of courage and terrible attitude, hard to consider some one doing that the best…
He has dominated with his grateful beauty, and his immensely talented skills. No one moves plays like him. He made tennis moved into another level.
gracefulness?
@@Nomad_Skateboarding 231 now
And what do you think about the fact that he is as well the player with one of the worst, if not the worst performance in a GS final… playing with no courage, with no dignity (2008 RG Final)… all players loose many many matches and finals, but RF is the worst when we think about a complete lack of courage and attitude…
ua-cam.com/video/hS3AcrQBgXI/v-deo.html
@@vvaltierra5556 that's one occasion, so whats your point?
@@unknownentiti2351 that was the worst match but not the only one… RF was such a great player, there is no doubt about it… buy for sure not the best ever…. At this moment There are only 2 guys into that race and RF has been surpassed and no longer participates on that…
thank you for the past 25 years, Roger. has been truly magical!!
The Definitive Tennis Maestro. A true joy to watch
I honestly ask you… what do you think about the fact that “the Maestro” gave as well one of the worst, if not the worst, GS match?… and not only about loosing a match, it’s about the way he did it… I never saw such a lack of courage and even dignity from any top tennis player as the one RF showed in the RG Final 2008…

Absolute GENIUS. His play Is impossibile to imitate. He won 20 slams with a Majestic display of class, inside and outside the court. That's why for the most of the fans, he Is the GOAT, regardless of one or two Grand Slam titles Less. Long Live to King Roger. 👑. Thank you for all Swiss Maestro. 🙌🐐❤️
He is not the goat. That is not how it works. He is the third best ever at best
@@mikemoggerson6651 ok Mike, thanks for your opinion. That fortunately Is YOURS. Accept and live with the fact that MILLIONS of people, including many tennis and ex tennis player, disagree with you. FACTS.
@@andreaminora7120 stop being delusional, millions of other people also see Nadal or Djokovic as the GOAT and they have better stats than Mr. 40-15 frauderer.
@@initialise21 There's nothing delusional about thinking Federer as GOAT. Stop acting like an incel. It's good if you think Federer is not GOAT. It's also a good thing if someone thinks he's the GOAT.
@@biskcuit tell that to Andrea that delusional clown
The backhand slice was just magical to watch.. No idea how the depth varied soo much even though the shot looked the same!
As a common tennis player, I second that! Swiss Maestro is remarkably talented!
He literally made modern tennis😂 He is an inventor, pioneer, champion and legend❤❤ Love you RForever
Made it while sticking with rather classic strokes. Eastern forehand and a very flat one handed backhand. Makes what he did in a time of power and spin all the more impressive.
I give a nod to Sampras & Agassi as well.
@@richieboy6825 Amen to that. Fed, Pistol and Andre literally reshaped modern tennis.
@@richieboy6825: Yes. Agassi caused the serve volley game to become obsolete.
There will never be another Roger Federer. He is tennis.Period.
His style of play and genius, taking the game to the opponent & consistency across all surfaces for the longest period of time has transcended the sport itself.
And his biggest legacy will be continuing to push the standard of tennis higher while competing with not one, but 2 exceptional successors despite being 5-5.5 years elder.
Records may be broken, but his impact and style are forever etched in the history of tennis. Truly the Greatest Tennis Player of All Time.
Farewell, Maestro. And Thank you for the years of entertainment.
Watching Federer play is one of the best mood boosters I know of. I always find myself smiling and energized after watching some highlights. Thanks for posting this.
Agreed!
In thise backhand slice disguises, one has to remember also those nasty slice returns he did, especially on clay and grass, where the opponent expected a deep slice return, only to be bamboozled by Roger with a sublime drop shot. Truly a maestro.
This is what was so fantastic. Whether winning or losing, at the start of a match or the end, you were never too far away from the next beautiful shot.
He has been the reason I keep playing and watching tennis. Sad to see him leave the court.
What a journey it has been to watch this man play. I love watching FEDERER play.🎉
I think you could also add The Half Volley shot of Roger. He was a master of it and sometimes people can't do anything about it.
While people have commonly (and rightly) described Alcaraz as a scary hybrid of the Big 3, his game reminds me most of Roger. It’s that unwavering and courageous instinct to attack and end the point. Never looking to draw the error, always looking to kill it. That’s the tennis the world loves and will always love. It’s why they love Roger and why Carlitos has more fans than any of the young guns. Hurrah for Roger. A genius and a gentleman.
Agree 100%. Talent exceeded only by courage, with an aggressive mindset. Carlitos is a worthy successor to the great Maestro.
His game absolutely nothing in common with RF, his style is more like Rafa the energy, power and aggressive style, with Djoko defensive skills and versatility ..
He himself has said its the most like Roger.
@@mntlc5544 He has plenty in common with Roger, Carlos has said it himself. There is a literally video of him out there when he was 9 saying Roger was his fav and another video of him saying he sees his playstyle most like Roger due to their attacking style
Energy of Rafa is not a playstyle.
The big 3 are all attacking players but attack differently. Novak attacks via never missing being extremely solid and playing the percentages perfectly when he sees an opening he takes it. Some times that's 4 shots sometimes its 15. Rafa attacks via building his shots typically forhand into the backhand of a player over and over again pushing them off court then lining up his forhand and doing a killing blow, he builds pressure like a tidalwave.
Roger and by extensive Carlos attack via painting the lines often out of nowhere with high acceleration forhands and winners. They play first strike often not waiting for the opponent to make and error or even waiting for a "chance" to appear they just make one. And while building points of course they do they are pro players it isn't a methodical repeated tidal wave like Rafa.
@@mntlc5544: You completely missed the point.
Unmatched creativity and skill. Roger is the reason I wanted to pick up a racquet. I'm so grateful to have seen him play in person, always unforgettable.
I can do the SABR, but instead of me hitting the ball, the ball hits my balls.
The ball on balls technique
1. I tried the SABR but instead of hitting the ball , the ball hit me where it hurts the most. 😵
2. I tried the Fake Forehand Drop Shot but I sliced it so hard due to momentum that the ball hit the referee's head instead. 😧
3. I tried the No Look Shot but I had to rather look where the ball was when I completely missed it trying to look cool like Roger. 😶
4. I tried the Backhand Slice Disguise but the only one who got disguised was me when my opponent hit an easy passing winner. 😑
5. I tried the tweener but each time instead of hitting the ball, I hit my balls 🤢
No one can be like Roger Federer💙! Miss you GOAT 🐐
tbh, these shots aint that hard(except sabr) but playing them with game iq under pressure in a match is what is truly impressive. I've successfully played the tweener a few times and got the sabr coz my opponent wasn't a big server and twas his second serve
I know a lot of people won’t believe this but James Keothavong ( the guy who umpired the final at the French open earlier this year ) plays at the same club I do and he was on the court beside the one I was playing in, I tried doing a SABR and it was successful!!! He saw it and the guy he was playing said “you must have seen a few of those in your time umpiring” he responded and said “yeah that was a good one” … not a crazy story but yeah that’s my little claim to fame.
Its not for beginners like you, Djodal better than Roger
@@soubhikdas9905 po’ li ar mu
C ya Roger! Enjoy retirement and having your stats being surpassed even more XD
I could be wrong but another shot that Roger pretty much invented was the 100 mph short angle slap forehand where the ball lands inside the service box.
Any player nowadays can hit a 100 mph forehand.
But only Roger can hit a 100 mph forehand winner and do it with so much whip and spin that the ball ends up landing in the service box.
If you dont believe me, check out his 2006 matches against Davydenko and Haas at the Aussie Open. He hit a few insane forehands during those matches that defied the laws of physics.
Have literally never seen anyone else hit a forehand like that.
Thanks, will check those out
No one will ever do what you did, in all aspects. Thank you so much for being the one. Goat forever.
i really like the pinch of arrogance young federer had; he made us and himself think he could do anything from any position so long as he tried, and he did!
We'll miss you Roger ! Tennis won't be the same without you
I think we all know Roger is a seminal talent and it'll be a very long time before tennis sees anyone with as complete a game again. Every shot in the book from anywhere on the court at any time during the point. If Roger could paint - he'd be a modern day da Vinci.
So much ability and also inventiveness . There will never be another like Roger .
🇪🇸1) Nadal: The King.
🇨🇭2) Federer: The Godfather.
👑3) FEDAL: The Legendary.
I always remember his grace and heady play, but I alway forget his forehand was insanely powerful. Really good server too, despite not being overly fast. I miss him already.
Thanks Roger, it was pleasure watching you. You inspired milions! 🐐❤️
If I could add a couple more they would be:
1- the smash off a smash
2- the drop shot return of serve
3- and perhaps, the half volley winners from the baseline.
He wasn't as rock solid as Novak and Rafa, and they were a bit stronger mentally than him, but Federer's playing style is just so different and unique from everyone else. NO ONE plays like him. Such a beautiful thing to witness.
And above all shots, very difficult shot , the flick of the wrist shot by Federer from base line for a winner- is out of this universe. Even god has to learn tennis from roger
@@mahalakshmid8613 Yes . The Backhand flick cross court passing the opponent at the net.
Roger Federer single handedly raised the level of Tennis. He forced everyone to have to become better, to work harder than ever before. I don't think Novak or Nadal would have become as good as they are today, without Roger leading the way.
For me he's the GOAT - The Maestro.
Thanks Roger for playing 25 years.You have a great tennis player around the world.You inspire a lots.❤
Thank you maestro, only you could make those shots
Legend. Glad I got to see him live
SMH. What is masterful is not just "thinking" about doing a trick shot, but making the "decisive and risky" decision to actually do it, do it well, do it with "intention", having it work and be effective. That is what is great about Roger. Overall he is also having fun.
Swiss Maestro is a realy GENIUS with his beautiful strokes and shots, we'll miss him for sure.
Roger's sneak attacks always go back to the server. That's good percentage play.
God of Tennis
Roger a class act and one of a kind! You will be missed by all of us! Shame the knee Injury marred your last year..take care Roger!
So at this point I think we can agree that Rafa and Nole are better than him because of the stats but they are by no means greater than Roger. It's not just about this video, it's about everything about Roger, he came in the world of tennis with something completely new and changed this sport in what it is today. In tennis schools they are not studying Nole or Rafa, they are studying Roger. And for this he is the GOAT ❤️❤️❤️.
I was ready to concede to the other GOATS, but that record of winning 24 straight finals, spending the most consecutive weeks as world number 1, and also never retiring once from a match make me think this is a 3 way tie. Each player has a unique collection of records. When you reach such great heights in different dimensions comparison becomes nearly impossible
That tweendr against gasquet is definitely underrated, so effortless like life is too easy
I always love watching his unexpected and incredible shots. ❤️
It’s because he had so much fun on the court
One of the best videos by Tennis TV ever.
Roger is a Genius
There are so much more of these highlights from grand slam tournaments. Federer played a lot of these shots with ease and better than anyone else. The video should have shown how great Federer was able to adapt to unusual and unique situations and improvise or adjust his shots.
He is by far the greatest all-court player to have ever played the game. He may have been bested by Djokovic (baseline/hard court GOAT) and Nadal (clay GOAT) but these two simply did not have the all-court versatility that Federer had.
I think Will never rise a player like him! This is almost Perfect!
That when you are truly talented, when you have a shot/play/move named after you.

🇨🇭GOATderer (Federer) the Genius & Artist!!! 10th Wimbledon champion & King of Grass!!! Vamos Roger & Cheers to the Swiss Maestro!!! 🇨🇭🏆🐐👑

I am Rafa fan, but man, Roger's playing style is so beautiful.
Most importantly than all of that is the way he took the ball early when it was rising and his accuracy
This is great but it’s tactical, Federer changes the underlying strategy and assumptions around court positioning, power, patterns of play….and introduced a whole new mental element and focus.
Just brilliant!
THE MOST TALENTED AND MOST NATURALLY GIFTED TENNIS PLAYER EVER ☺️ Sir Roger
Roger..What a legend we going to miss you.Keep well and safe. God Bless🎾🎾South Africa⚘️🎾
Also the backhand volley/overhead smash
Roger is without a doubt the most amazing talented genius player in tennis history. This videos sums up his game, how smart he is on the court, his ability to turn defense point into attack. Eventhough he may not be the goat in terms of number of slams won but when it comes to style and beauty of tennis, he’s outclassing everybody. I guess even Rafa and Novak must be watching these kind of videos of Roger s points 😃
Can not stop watching
No one brings a smile on your face while watching them as much as Roger does, for me at least. The game is a wonder watch, at every given time. Facts of the sport are hard truths but what does it for all of us (even the ones not willing to admit to themselves), is that the way this guy moves, plays, shot selects and executes, no person has or perhaps will in a long while.
I think his biggest contribution/achievement was not grunting. He showed you can play without making noise and still win. Probably the only current tennis player that doesn't do a walrus grunt.
Thanks Roger for the great tennis all these years ❤️
ESTOY TRISTE Y FELIZ TE FUI A VER VARIAS VECES EN EL TORNEO DE INDIAN WELL Y SIEMPRE FUISTE EL CONCENTIDO DE LOS FANS.
the only tennis player i enjoy watching
He can make world number 3-20s back in his prime look like 100+
Roger is the GOAT.
Watching this you can really see where kyrgios gets his game style from. He says federer is his idol and it shows. He plays all these shots every match.
I always thought Bjorn Borg reinvented tennis. The first top player to hit extreme topspin groundstrokes. The experts used to say that his arm and shoulder muscles would weaken, while the continental grip and flat groundstrokes were still being taught by teaching pros. Now almost every top player plays with extreme topspin and from the baseline. Very rare to see flat groundstrokes and serve and volley players these days.
Que maravilla. Se fue un grande para disfrutar de su familia pero nos dejó pura magia.
The legend
As someone play badminton and table tennis i'm suprised this kind of technique is new in this game.
dude was so smooth... seemed like effortless for him...
1:27 Djokovic totally being destroyed by SABR
Keep rolling 🇯🇵 ninja warrior keep rolling!!! Great Job & Cheers!!! ✅👏👏👏👏✅
Plus, 🇯🇵 ninja warrior the game, you’re the game!!! Vamos & Cheers to the rising sun!!! 🐐🇯🇵🥷
Grade: A+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Man, the blue clay looked so cool.
GOAT
My king, I love Federal, Bangladesh.
Absolutely the GOAT. He made the almost impossible shots look merely mundane with his brilliance
The GOAT
I've seen countless tweeners before Federer played.
I personally don't think he changed the game technically speaking. I think he showed how good you had to be to beat him and have success.
Everyone had to raise their level dramatically. A a were able to raise enough to have as much success. The rest, moderate success. Everyone had to be way more disciplined and have their huge coaching staff and physios and nutritionists and all that to contend with him
For all those who watches the game of Tennis just for a couple of Years, take all the the greats in history of this sport, in terms off overall best tennisplayer ever, no one comes close. Roger the 🐐 Federer 🙏🏾.
i would amend the tweener. he has hit a tweener lob before i think vs del potro and that was something special. thinking two steps ahead.
Sneak attack by Pete Sampras first…but both are my idols…single backhands 😍
You will see Federer mentioning Pete being a huge influence for his playing style If you watch his older interviews. Pete did it first but I would still say Federer made it even better. This is from a lifetime Pete fan.
He didn't invent any of these shots, but he was the only player of his generation who actually learned from his predecessors.
All the others play as if the 1960-1990s never happened.
Sad to see 😕
He was the first one to effectively implement in modern tennis. But agree that some version of these existed prior. The awesome thing with him is how much he implemented of his ridiculous large tool supply and how often the decisions paid off.
6. His „half-volley” 2017 backhand drive.
Anyway, beyond all the self gratifying comments shared, I really miss this guy. Maybe he is not the legitimate GOAT, but he does get credit for lifting the ATP to a higher level with his unique and very popular game style. Much like Kyrgios really, in that even though he is not in the GOAT discussion, he won many, many fans through his also unique and popular game style.
He transformed his forehand, he transformed his backhand, he adjusted to courts getting faster, he went through the change from best of 5 sets in masters 1000 to best of 3. He should have been irrelevant by the 2010's and instead he won 2 more slams in 2017
Roger that 👍👍👍
Also part of the first group of players to chase absolutely every ball, defensively. That's just part of the job description, now.
😂😂😂 Never watched tennis before 2003? Player have been doing this decades (probably centuries).
that lauded "sabr attack" has landed him in more trouble vs top players than anything in his career
GOAT being GOAT, naturally.
6. The dropshot return of serve
Dear Tennis TV, Fed’s ”no look shot” except the exchange with Gulbis here is simply a fundamental feature of a flawless tennis swing perfected by Roger: to watch the contact point until the swing’s been completed. Here to help!
Nice video but Federer is unlimited. What about his backhand flick, his dropshot lob, his smash lob, his forehead squash, his smash after smash ... And so on
💔🐐
SABR 🐐🐐🎾
The peRFect run indeed.
G.O.A.T.
That silent game of Federer and still ripping powerful winners.
The USP of Roger Federer
How could you fail to include THE backhand dropshot against berdych (the one he hit into the stratosphere)?
Goat
I beg to differ. It is Nole who reinvented tennis and showed the world how our country is and always been the best. Without Nole, tennis wouldnt be as popular.
The actual way he reinvented tennis is that he forced players to both play aggressive and be consistent, i.e. never miss. Someone like Hewitt who never missed but didn't have any weapons, or Roddick who had some weapons but struggled at some conditions. They would not rule the tour after Federer came. I also think it forced Nadal to be more aggressive, instead of playing like Wilander.
N. 2 is not a drop shot.
It's a backspin forehand, it was once called "chop forehand"
"SABR" was done by Kyrgios before.
