This is something you probably won't see any time soon. 4 top tennis players all playing with one-handed backhands in a doubles match! Amazing!
Prior to this match, Fed & Stan took out the Indian duo of Doubles specialists Leander Paes & Mahesh Bhupathi as well in Quarters. I remember being extremely heartbroken with that result as I was expecting Paes/Bhupathi to bring a medal for us. Goes to show that when the best of singles players team up, they can take out the top Doubles specialists. Much deserved Gold for Fed & Stan that year in Beijing 🥇🥇
Yeah, as a kid the only time I prayed for a Federer loss but he didn't 🥲
The identical movement at 58 second after the point was insane
0:58
Autistic
This crowd was so invested in every point it’s fun to hear
I saw Stan there too. How can you say it was just Roger
How have I never seen this doubles match before, thanks Wivo, great vid as always xx
The funny thing is that this match was on the second court. Oh u know just a Roger the Goat and Stan the man playing against Goat Bryan brothers doubles... jeah lets NOT but them on the centre court. God damn i would have want those cheap tickets to this masterpiece. One of the best matchup doubles u will ever get.
It's the Olympics. Favouring the 'Stars' goes completely against the Olympics ethos. They surely just need to draw lots - so court 2 is entirely appropriate.
Just a joy to watch .. even if it's a highlight. Roger is Roger but Stan was a power house too. Good that he made a comeback, hope to see him play more
He plays tennis in the way that I never have seen before. Can't say enough good things about Roger Federer. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated. 🙂Have a nice day.
Patrick MacEnroe talks about this in his horribly written book. He said that everytime federer touched the ball it was either a winner or it have so much backspin it stuck to the ground.
The best part about it is they were actually having fun together out there during the match. You can see them smiling and laughing at the end.
Doubles is fun
Roger looked overwhelmed and burned out this year until hear. He actually had fun.
@@jer8279 after years of amazing dominance, he contracted Epstein-Barr virus (Mononucleosis) at the beginning of 2008, and played over that illness. He lose badly the Australian Open semifinal against Djokovic, and continued to suffer unexpected losses in the subsequent months. Apart from the consequences of the illness, which are sometimes very serious and very long lasting (some players were forced to basically quit playing foreverafter mononucleosis, Federer was even comparatively lucky), he suffered a loss of confidence too, which was the main reason behind his very tentative first 2 sets vs Nadal in the Wimbledon final the same year, when he had to be considered reasonably healed from the illness. Despite his loss in the singles vs Blake, a player he was mostly used to dismantle with ease (this says a lot about how long can take to recover completely from a serious illness like mono), this doubles gold medal helped him in finding back his confidence, and for UsOpen, he was back at full force.
Thanks for the upload, but please change the title -- Wawrinka also played a role here.
246km/h?!?!?! Young wawrinka was insane
LOVING the new intro. Keep up the work homie
Such a great match!!!
Wawrinka played extremely well and won more key points here for them.
E olha q esses são os irmãos Bryan(Bob e Mike), uma das melhores duplas do mundo!
If these two had competed on the doubles tour regularly.... my god
Apart from their high singles rankings - there are a few very good reasons why these two were able to push past the best specialist doubles team ever : 1 they both have premior single handed back hands - so they volley better than any double hander on that side especially;2 they both have top 5 best serves going ; Feds is crazy good ; 3 they both can rip the ball from both wings - handy in doubles 4 they move better than 99 % of others on tourer - put them both in any tournament in the world they would repeated ly win against the best
The grip on the single handed backhand is completely different to the volley grip. There is no direct correlation here. On the other hand, they volley well because they are world class tennis players.
@@bigrobsydney the grip doesn’t matter. Single handed players usually have better backhand volleys and slices. Go ask your local tennis pro if you can’t figure it out.
@@jesse9307 given that people with 2hbh hit their slice frequently with one hand, I do t see how there is any difference in this one specific point. Feel free to explain it.
@@bigrobsydney I'm sure you play 3.0 tennis at your club. Go ask the tennis pro if you can't figure it out.
@@jesse9307 my daughter is a tennis player and was ranked #1 in Surrey and #11 in the UK. I coached her, and I've played for over 35 years. I don't need the opinion of another person. I'm asking you to explain your comment now, for the third time.
Muchas gracias !!! 🤗🎾
Man u should ABSOLUTELY put replays of Federer shots here, some of them are just shocking sick good
They didn't show replays in the original match unfortunately, donno what the director was doing honestly!
Love them both
always fascinating seeing great singles players play doubles, especially against doubles specialists, it's why the Olympics (and davis cup) is so great
Roger AND Stan handling the best doubles team....
not casually handled but both were individually much better than the opposition. over they got past doubles nuances, they had an overwhelming skill advantage. the longer the match goes on, the easier it becomes for them
great video!
Thanks, Peter ❤️
This essentially rejuvenated their careers. Roger played for more than himself, and won US open that year. Wawrinka ended up shining later on. This was beautiful.
The goat with Stan The man... Just isn't fair!
I don't know if the title is accurate exactly, but thanks for this video reminder.
Merecido o Ouro olímpico de Roger Federer e Wawrinka em 2008
man don't dismiss wawrinka from the title. he is equally responsible for this as much as federer
there was nothing "casual" in this one....both sets could have gone both ways "
while Stanimal "Killerly" backhandling them too ....
Unfortunate that the ballkid didn't catch the ball at 1:25 otherwise, he would've been the most famous ballkid of his time!
I think i indirectly gave you idea for this 😉. Again great video.
Haha absolutely man thank you ❤️
3:32
9:36 should Federer have looked back as Wawrinka was hitting that forehand?
I loved watching them together, but two great singles players don't automatically make a great doubles team.
The title implies Federer did more for the win. Stan delivered on many key points. It’s doubles, not singles. Federer and Wawrinka Handling the Best Doubles Team…
I was there. seeing it like yesterday. insane match.
One bad error at 5:29 could have ended Swiss tennis.
Never seen so many returns smashed out of the court (poor ballboys)
Come on, this is Roger and Stan. Why would you disrespect Stan like that?
Well...cuz nobody's going to click if it's Stan's name in the title. Just being honest...
@@jollymolly2521 Roger and Stan handle the Bryant brother...nope not gonna watch that! Lmao that’s ridiculous
@@jollymolly2521 maybe not nobody - as Stan is well known as the only player post 2014 to defeat Djokovic in 3 different grand slam finals - and on 3 different surfaces ; and to cap that off he rolled Djokovic at the Aus open in 2015 - semis - went on the beat Nadal in final Now ; as incredable as Feds record is - dont belive he has a single GS finals wins over Djokovic since maybe 2009 or 10 ?? Nadal is the only player who comes close to Stans record - with wins over him at GS s ..... So thats why many know and admire Stan - hes a legend in my book
Because Stan the Man seems to be one of the few players for whom the court aside the player at the net never seems wide enough. It's understandable to play body shots sometimes, but I haven't seen him play any match without a couple of those. Some say it's fine, not me.
What's the name of the music?
Description mate
The Bryan brothers certainly the most successful, but questionable whether they were the best. They played in an era when doubles was very much the poor relation of singles, and where very few players play both events. Mens doubles very debilitated as a result. The great doubles players of the past were often playing all three events. The fact they lost in two sets here to two players who rarely played doubles says quite a bit.
James Blake smashed him tho
Stan served 246km/h or it was a mistake
It's 100% not real i guess
I could never see the ball
I did not realise it was one player against 2?? Maybe change the title of the click-bait?
Early squad
❗The only reason why they are the best doubles team in tennis history is that the best *TENNIS* players in history concentrate on singles.
the best doubles team in history is McEnroe and Peter Fleming, not the Bryans. No good players even play doubles any more.
Roger is amazing, but Stan was the best player in this tournament.
Can't see the ball.

If that's ya idea of..." casually handing....^ the B B Boys I think ya better get another definition of..." casually..." it only came down to a couple of poi t-shirt...& the Fed...is one of the best players in the world....
