That Roger Federer overhead lob - all things considered, I think that's easily the best shot I've ever seen. Just unbelievable. I mean, it just had to be Roger.
The one he hit against Roddick in Basel was even better!
@@MMM18092 that wasn't a lob though. But I agree, that overhead return to Roddick's overhead in Basel 2002 is probably the best shot he's ever hit in his career
@@MMM18092 And the point with Agassi in Dubai 2005 its even better!! The best point from Roger Federer.
Blake vs Agassi at the 2005 US Open was one of the most heartwarming and best sportsman-like matches i've ever seen. Plus the New York crowds supporting both American players equally was just so beautiful. Both players with so much respect for each other too. I miss tennis back in the mid-late 2000s
What a match that was. Blake inspired, came close to sending Agassi home, in what turned out to be Agassi making his final run to a grand slam event championship match. Hard to believe its been almost 20 years. Agassi retired a year later at the US Open where he loses to Benjamin Becker in an early round match at age 36.
@@jerryl9823 he went out swinging though, won that 5-set thriller against Baghdatis.
I really miss those matches between nadal and Djokovic... They were epic😢
13:30 best crowd reaction
Stan Warwrinka has the best one-handed backhand I’ve ever seen
It's the most violent and stable, but probably not always the best
His and Kuerten's.
2008 Fed: I won't be able to top that against Djoker! 2009 Fed: Hold my racquet
There is a 0% chance that Henin/Capriati point was actually the best point played at the 2003 US Open.
Yeah. Somebody was afraid of being called a certain word.
Rafa, we all miss you. A lot. Please, get well soon to receive the honours you deserve from all the tennis fans. Please.
See how much the courts slowed down over the years. Haas was generating so much pace off of slices. Fed changed the game and then Rafa and Nole changed it again. Fascinating to see
The Schwartzman - Djokovic point was insane. the angles they both hit to set up that winner.
2013 is Nadal's vs Harrison imo but otherwise this list is perfect
For each of those points two masters are needed. Thank you I enjoyed so much
rafael nadal ,,was the best way back when he is now ,, & forever more .. rafael nadal in my mind is the greatest tennis player to have ever picked up na raquet
Tiafoe's reaction 😂
I miss Henin's backhand, I honestly think she'd have had the best single-hander on the men's tour if she were born as a male. Sorry, Wawrinka. Thing of beauty, tremendous spin and angle and a bit of power to push Serena Williams off the court.
nah
Yes. John McEnroe once called it the best backhand in tennis; men's or women's. Not going to disagree with Mac.
@@kjmcindoe6408 I'm not sure if it's the best backhand (single-hander and two-hander included) but it's definitely in my opinion the best single-handed backhand in women's tennis history. If she were a male tennis player, it would have been the best single-handed backhand in men's tennis history too.
2011 - Bad selection..That rally where Nadal defended like crazy and ended with a Djokovic backhand winner was not just the best point of USO 2011 but also one of the best ever.
This one was pretty awesome though, and important too, for Nadal not to get blitzed 3-0.
Exactly, well done noticing!
Agree completely.
Agree completely. Very bad selection. The biased people from US on this video had to give it to one of their two boyfriends. Funny that Djokovic even won that match and had that way more amazing point, but no, they had to put one of the few points that Nadal could win that day. So petty.
that's uso for us
Roger was a magician who used a racquet instead of a wand.
Just crazy. He hit so many other insane shots that weren't included on the list. I personally think his 2008 lob-overhead against Djoko was even more wild than the 2009 tweener against him and also the 2006 tweener against Henman. Plus I bet it was a close call between Wawrinka's backhand winner against Murray and Federer's another tweener winner at the 2010 US Open.
drop shot get around the net against kyrgios was also crazy @@TheseHoesAreLoyal
Federer lob was amazing Federer the ultimate shot maker
The point that starts at 7:18 and ends a minute later or so doesn't belong in this otherwise fantastic montage. Spectacular points rarely end up being a reliable indicator when it comes down to predict who ends up with the W. I might not matter that much when you hear the crowd going crazy with excitement. Well over ninety-nine percent of those points display all court coverage/ability. One word: variety.
When I found this video, I knew this would definitely be the point in 2011!
When Nadal grunts that hard, you know it's over
I thought it would be another point of the final, when Djokovic saves a break point at 3-4 in the 3rd set
the most important thing is that the century starts in 2001, not 2000. congratulations to the creator of the video
Yes but if u look at decades in sports, music. They always start with 000s for some reason. So creator did that
So glad to have the century police monitoring dates on videos. Relax and enjoy the ride dude. Life is short.
no, starts at year 0... same as the universe from year 0 to 9. plain and simple
@@readigo no, 1 to 10. Year 1 after Christ, year 2 after Christ. Before the 1st year after Christ is the 1st year before Christ
@@Luiz-nb3uzwouldn’t the 1st year after Christ be 0AD tho? Legit question
That MP at the end was amazing.
Well I've expected one of Alcaraz's but PCB's was great
Federer is really the greatest talent of all time. But Rafa vs Djoker is the best tennis you can ever watch. Even better than Sampras-Agassi in the 90s. Which i will adore for ever too.
I mean these are all incredible Points. But man, the Federer Ones seem to be one level above the others.
Amazing!!
That 2022 point was such an all-timer
and the very reason they did this compilation
i was waiting for a federer/nadal point… then i remembered
Demon’s racket smash on match point lowkey badass
Tennis players' logic People whispering: Can't stand it! Boeings taking off: Oh, it's ok
Alcaraz behind the back 2022 US Open point?
That 2011 match had 3 of them in the 3rd set itself!!!
Of course it's Roger 2008 v Roger 2009... 👑
2003 has to be Ferrero's insane tweener and forehand recovery against Agassi in the SF.
Its amazing I've watched most of theirs matches but for me its Venus vs Henin 2007 SF and Rafa vs Novak 2011 Final
Tennis is tennis. I was impressed by how the video recording tech improved so much over the year.
Septiembre de 2023, y se extraña a los hermanos Williams...😳
The amount of times Djokovic was on this list 🫢 Also a fun technical note, it was fun to see the camera quality gradually improve over the years and the score graphics change styles haha
Beautiful compilation 👍💪! As a Swiss I knew Roger would appear, but I was specially pleased that Stan the man got a spot in this elite circle!
hopp schwiz
@@cornelleemann9266 Thanks! Looking at your profile I might answer: Go Chelsea!
It seems like the editor REALLY likes around the net shots 😂
0:00 Sampras is the only player uses his elbow mostly forward towards the net in forehand, serve, backhand, slices, smashes and volley too. Most other players use the elbow only in serve, slice and volley.
1:19 peak tennis commentary that's in, that's out.
2000 is a part of thiss century
9:52 was this really the best shot that year? Don't see anything extraordinary about this one
Man, I’m sorry, but Murray and Djokovic brought out the worst in each other. An interminable 54 shot rally with not one attempted winner… compare that with the insanely dynamic Novak vs Diego point or the super creative Murray vs Llodra rally.
I'm not surprise that there Is a lot of Agassi's points in this compilation.... You can think that best tennis is Just about the numbers...(Djokovic and the various records...) But i still think that Sampras,Agassi and Federer were on another level.
I always liked Andre his style.
2015 I think Vinci vs. Serena and epic point, 3:3 in deciding set
Roger showed no respect for Henmann who appeared having no idea what was going on! A smash-rob?! Roger is crazy! Towel service is a relic before COVID.
I always thought of Haas like some Fed brother 😂. Really quite similar style and technique, great one handed backhand. I thought he would really challenge Fed and company at the top, however I believed Haas was top 2 at some time in his career if I'm not mistaken. I also enjoyed watching Safin matches, great groundstrokes and a magnificent two handed backhand. Two very talented players, oh and I was forgetting Nalbandian as well. A joy to watch 👌👌👌
Pardon my ignorance but can someone please explain what the lady behind the chair umpire (2011 and 2012 points) is doing by holding an equipment which follows the shot making player?
It's a microphone, to capture the sound of the ball when the player hits it
@@rodrigobertoncinidias1943 thank you!
Hewitt looks like today's Shapovalov, Agassi today's Mannarino. Generation changes, but we see same faces again 😂
2017 the best point was Djokovic against Wawrinka. At the beginning of the Match with a high defense point from Novak
Djokovic didn’t play the US Open in 2017. I think you may be thinking of 2016 if I’m not mistaken.
@@matthewmalagari2465 yes you're right ^^
sry, but 2017 had only one single shot to be in this video and it happened in the 8th game of the 5th set between nadal and Federer in Melbourne....
That was at the US Open then was it?
And where is Federer´s shot around the net against Kyrgios (US Open 2018)? It was the best that year, by far
best shot sure, but this video is about the best points
Why are the *out* points included?
7:06 who was grunting there during Rafa's winner? aint no way that was Rafa right?
The shot of 2012 is a joke. Where is the shot of Federer against Kyrgios?
i watch to find out at which point the ball can be seen
One they missed There is no doubt that the best POINT (prob of the 2000's) is in the one in that magnificent 5th set in the Aussie final vs Nadal where Roger wins it with a clean backhand after 30+ shots. It is below lime
alcaraz left the room
That Federer point was humiliating for the other guy
is that george costanza at 2.12?
Yeah...
Raro que no hayan querido poner el passing de smash de Nadal en 1ra ronda del 2013 contra Harrison, y los puntos de los primeros años son re casuales xD
Nadal, Djokovic and Federer for the best ever
Лучший розыгрыш у Сампраса самый первый. Когда замедлили корты теннис стал воллейболом.
The Carreno Busta one 😄😄😄
2013 rafa v novak 54 shots
Sampras is the real GOAT. Spectacular and meatball ability
Federer es otro cosa, otra galaxia, otra dimensión. Simplemente increíble!
And here come those who have started watching tennis with Alcaraz to ask why there are none of his points here 🤦♀️😏
Federer 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
JustineHenin❤
2011 us open Djokovic match point save against Federer is missing
❤
la mania de romper las raquetas
Why the ball doesnt run anymore like the first and a half of the video?? They used to look faster imo
Any point involving Roger is the point of the year, but that's just me. 🙂
It's a testament to Djokovic willpower and defense that he has featured in majority of the points; being mentally strongest allows him to drag the rally longer than the opponent likes which inturn makes any point he plays one of the greatest
Wow... did no one else play any matches in 2012 or 2015?
Should have wrote best points this millennium
The Best Women players Venus and Serena Williams, They changed the game of Tennis 🎾
In what way did they change the game of tennis?
@@mikebikekite1 I'm going to tell you how they changed the game of Tennis In the 1950s Althea Gibson was the first Black Woman to Win a Major. Years later here comes Venus and Serena Williams who Dominated the Game. No matter what you say about them, They are in the Records Books., Not only very Competitive, But have Won many times Especially Serena has Won 22 Grand Slams, Till this Day, Serena still holds this Record!
@@jillmarshall4718 But how did they change the game of tennis?
@@mikebikekite1 There is no need for me to explain to you, Because you just don't get it!
@@jillmarshall4718 No problem. They've certainly done well over the years but I simply couldn't see how they'd "changed the game of tennis". Most bizarre costumes? almost certainly. Most outrageous on court temper tantrum? possibly. Best cameo role in movie? maybe. But did they change the game in any way? not at all.
The people in the crowd who collectively go "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh" to quiet someone during a point are equally (if not more) noisy and disrespectful, but over an even longer and more noticeable duration. The players are focused on the point, they're not paying attention to one random blurt out, but the shushing they can do without, so keep it to yourselves.
Honestly, I couldn’t even watch tennis in 2020 and even some select tournaments in 2021. With no crowds, it just made everything seem so…weird (that’s the only word that’s coming to me at the moment). You guys know what I’m saying?
Roger has the most unique points. mostly he likes to pay between the legs i guess xD
Tweener lob or smashed lob, guys ?
I don't understand there is no point of qualiferes men in the first round. If there are women points. No doubt I love women tennis but it's really different sport.
Why is the chyron for the match in question in the Ukraine flag colors? This is the US Open, not the fund the military industrial complex open
There was so many better points last year in the Alcaraz Sinner game than this Carreno point
Not even one Delpo appearance? Seriously?
How on earth Roger’s lob vs Agassi is missing? It was nr 1 play in his life
that was in dubai not in the uso
8:53 Pickleball
That Serena shot is here only, becoz she is from USA !😂
No Chino Rios???? C'Mon...
No Djokovic return on match point down against Fed in 2011 L
I am surprised none of my rallies made it on the video but then again I never competed at the US Open to give other players a chance to win. Who am I kidding, I couldn't even win a set if other player double faulted on every serve.
Yes but if u look at decades in sports, music. They always start with 000s for some reason. So creator did that . Dont blame the creator. Blame the system
2008 was bs. The rally from the Venus vs. Serena QF where Serena was chasing every ball down was much better than Federer and Djokovic. Even the crowd reaction was better!
2015 point so average
