Thank you, keep posting the old times please.
Keep coping you 🤡, Djokovic is the GOAT
Yes i second that. I had stopped playing by the mid '90's and was not really following tennis for quite a while, so it's nice to have the chance to visit matches that i missed originally.
Federer becomes World number 1 after this title.. during 237 weeks in the row.. 4 years and 199 days on the Top..
Such a wonderful treat watching prime Federer play tennis - it was just something different, poetry in motion :)
Thank you for this journey clip! Please post similar ones with Roger's older matches from other years at the AO, like 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, etc. And please do not stop uploading Roger's and Rafa's full matches here.
Or post every Federer match instead.
Whew. I miss him.
Definitely yes. Good thing there's so many posted Vid's of the Fed.
Thanks for this! However, it would've been nice if you added the opponent's name at each round.
Yes, i thought the exact same thing.
Formidable champion ❤
Watching Safin play when on was so fun to me.
Nalbandian was the hardest for Roger in this tournament. Saying something about Nalbandian confidence when they faced each other, although 2003 Masters till 2007 Masters, Federer was a different beast
Listening to John Barrett calling RF in his early PRIME….STELLAR🌸
One handed backhand scything its way through a field of 2-handers 👍🏽
To win this slam, Roger had to beat two players who had a superior head-to-head against him: Nalbandian and Hewitt.
I think once we beat them, it gave him the confidence to swing for the fences and dominate the rest of the season.
11:02 as if im seeing Alcaraz
Man, Nalbandian was such a dangerous player. It was joy to watch him play. Crafty, powerful, elegant, delicate.... He had it all. Dude could wipe Federer off the court.
He was a basket case mentally though, which is why he never won a major.
@@keeganandersson4281 , That is sad.
@@harkirehal258 both are correct but Nalbandian only problem wasnt his sometimes-weak-mentally but also injuries here and there. He also didnt have a powerful serve but a correct decent one
@@MgoUmk I have seen some of his games and you are correct about his serve. It didn’t look like he was mentally weak but I cannot judge that from watching a few games. Regardless, his all court game is superb. There are times he makes Federer look ordinary. And that it not an easy thing to do. I appreciate him as a human being as he lived life to the fullest and was not after money or fame.
@@harkirehal258 you re totally right. Im from Argentina and saw all his interviews on tv, he often says "It is not good to stay in the memory box" so he is not interested in living off the memories of glory. In addition, there were other players who almost came close to autism because they lived only for tennis without wanting to do other things or retire when their body couldn't take it anymore, Guillermo Vilas, Andy Murray, etc. Nalbandian always said that he felt that he was saturated if he lived only for tennis. So after all, we cannot criticize him for the career and decisions he made, instead we should recognize the good life he had.
During the supposed weak "era", Hewitt, nalbandian, and ferrero, and safin had good head to head against him before he elevated to another level. In terms of outright talent nalbandian and safin were pretty much even with him in my opinion. They didn't seem motivated enough.
Funny thing you said that, 13/32 seeds were eliminated in the 1st round, including the top 2 Hewitt and Kuerten in AO04😂😂
@@vijayla21I see, but the two guys you mentioned were both grand slam champions and reached number 1 in the world. Also, they both already suffered from hip injuries which caused Hewitt to decline and kuerten to retire later this same year if memory serves, well either that year or the next. I seem to remember him trying to make repeated comebacks but he was too old and had lost too much movement because of hip just like Hewitt.
@@Chris-xc4rv That's not the only time Hewitt lost in the 1R though. He is the only defending champion of a GS that lost in the 1R. And he wasn't injured by any means, which is confirmed by himself.
Anyway, if they were all injured when Federer elevated his level, it doesn't speak well about the strength of that era, does it?
Kuerten was 27 in 2004. Are you saying a guy who' so old and injured beat an 'elevated' Fed?
@@vijayla21 This is exactly what Fedfans don't realise when they are making excuses. They bring up Hewitt, Ferrero to hype up his competition in 04-07 but forgot that these players were mediocre in this period.
They tried to amend this by claiming injuries, motivation, etc but that itself proved the era was weaker than they thought. Furthermore, it's actually disrespectful to these greats to not include their success in the earlier years.
@@vijayla21 Most players retired in late 20s or early 30s back then. This going until late 30s today is a new trend because of better training and sports science. Also, you glossed over what I said about both of them winning a slam and being former number ones. And federer had only begun to win slams when he met kuerten at the French on obviously his weakest surface. He didn't win a French title until 2009. The bulk of kuertens titles came from clay being a specialist on that surface. The same way federer was considered a grass court specialist, although he was very good on all surfaces due to his all around game and play style.
The real goat. Slam victory nr2
The Real GOAT??
Novak is the Real GOAT...
Seems like the quick hard courts suddenly slowed when Federer started dominating.
He is so good here that he no longer makes it look easy.
Fed Fans give me your thoughts. Fed hit the overhand backhand return on serve quite a lot. Then it went missing from late 2000s. What do you think happened?
Exactly what I noticed. Probably discovered he can do everything and then some with just his forehand, so decided to chill more on the backhand. He was also much more free flowing in the early 2000s and could cover the court much quicker, so there was less need to slice the return and give himself time.
@@thomasbrunkle8389this and possibly losing confidence/out of practice, honestly his backhand was better earlier on until 2017, really think he lost confidence in it
Marat ran out of gas in the final…next year he went all the way to the title
R3: RIP Todd Reid
Score????? sCORE>>>
Early 2000s, the era of guys with long blonde hair and backwards caps
His 1st and 3rd round opponents are the same person?
Dude up until Nalbandian I thought he was playing the same guy each round.
Lawannya siapa ya ?
R1 Bogomolov Jr
R2 Morrison
R3 Reid
R4 Hewitt
QF Nalbandian
SF Ferrero
F Safin
Novak djokovic is the GOAT!
