But that doesnt have to mean it was one of his best matches of all time. I saw the match at least 3times the whole match, i enjoyed it since if am not mistaken it was last GS match between these two that federer won in straight sets... But on a defense of Djokobitch at that time he had only 1gs and his peak has had yet to come...Still wimbledon 2003 vs Roddick or 2005 US vs Nalbandian, 2011 vs Djokovic, 2009 AO vs JMDP, US 2004 vs Hewitt, And even AO 17 vs Rafa, (Atp finals 2006 vs Blake not an GS), were all much better performances than this..

His movement was still great as he got older but his movement to the forehand side is where he slowed down. It's evident when watching these old clips. There are running forehands he hits here that he just could not hit throughout the 2010's. Got to give credit to Djokovic, he maintained his speed better than Federer and Nadal. His training tools are definitely more advanced. He spares no expense in taking care of his body, whereas Federer has always been more old school, didn't believe in all the fancy new technology.

I'm not that kind of "fan" that tries to defend his hero even in absurd ways, but sometimes I think that Federer's H2H with Nadal and Djokovic is "penalized" by his incredible continuity over the years. He reached the deep stages of many tournaments, even when not in the best form or when very old. I'm not saying that every time he lost to them was because he was either in bad form or old. I simply think that this happened to him more times than to Nadal or Djokovic.

This match is under-appreciated. This was the best match of 2009, and one of the best matches in tennis history. The shot-making here is of the highest quality. This is post-peak Federer at the end of his prime years (28) vs Prime-Nole entering his peak. Quite simply: the best attacking tennis vs the best defensive tennis the world has ever seen. Djokovic's domination in 2011-2016 is a much a result of his talent and hard-work as it is a response to Federer. You see Djokovic not only return Federer's 1st serves here, but attack them. Forcing Fed to use his imagination creating in-out forehand angles, drop-shots, passing shots, net-rushing, over-heads... it's freaking beautiful. Only for Fed to lose to Delpo in the finals. :-)

Fazzy i have seen every single one of them, i dont know where you are going at, but it seems its the other way around since this is where federer absolutely destroyed his rival, and considering its djokovic the one he is playing against, its even less questinable
@@Luchon20082010 i did too, since 2005, and yet we both have pretty much diffenrent opinions... Well i am not saying it was a bad match, nope, rog played wery well, but if u saw the whole match, it was an pretty average encounter with some yeah amazing shots. But that doesnt have to mean it was one of his best matches of all time. I saw the match at least 3times the whole match, i enjoyed it since if am not mistaken it was last GS match between these two that federer won in straight sets... But on a defense of Djokobitch at that time he had only 1gs and his peak has had yet to come...Still wimbledon 2003 vs Roddick or 2005 US vs Nalbandian, 2011 vs Djokovic, 2009 AO vs JMDP, US 2004 vs Hewitt, And even AO 17 vs Rafa, (Atp finals 2006 vs Blake not an GS), were all much better performances than this..
@@fazzy2920 pretty average encounter? lol he was far better than against nalby 05 uso, rod 03 wimbledon? you can barely judge matches against clownish half opponents lacking all kinds of game. You are very wrong.
Hard to believe Nole was only 22 during this match and federer was closing on 28...Time just flies !!
just remember this was 2009 were into 2022 almost 2023 so can't say that when covid wasn't back then
What a classy guy this Djokovic. So classy in defeat. He gets scored on with a tweener (amazing shot by Fed), and a point later he loses the match and is all smiles and congratulations. Tremendous respect for the guy!
DLegend C I know several people that met him recently. Said he’s an awesome guy in person. He’s one of the greatest for sure
Most Definitely a classy guy. Am a fed fan you wont see him applauding when his opponent win a good point .
He's classy when he's not faking injuries.
Yeah, 3 years later, but you have to watch the Wimby's final 2015, the medical timeout tactical. Federer clutched the fourth set and in his momentum in the fifth, OMG DJO BROKE HIS ANKLE, medical timeout please, 75 minutes later, -ah, it's nothing, let's play. Result→ no more Federer's momentum and Djo wins.
@@dalebooooooo 75 mins? How comes it that I don't remember?
Federer glides around fast courts so smoothly. It looks so effortless and elegant.
His movement was still great as he got older but his movement to the forehand side is where he slowed down. It's evident when watching these old clips. There are running forehands he hits here that he just could not hit throughout the 2010's. Got to give credit to Djokovic, he maintained his speed better than Federer and Nadal. His training tools are definitely more advanced. He spares no expense in taking care of his body, whereas Federer has always been more old school, didn't believe in all the fancy new technology.
@@sup9542 what do you mean by fancy technologies? What fancy tech does Nole uses that Roger doesn't?
federer has always been the benchmark for Rafa and Novak to raise their game to, even though they might have better head2head against RF they owe him a salute for being the very top to which they tried to surpass.
Both of them have age on their side too
Dagorian Stark They ended Federer era in 2008 when he was still at his peak and young (27) , Novak beats him in the AO , Rafa RG and Wimby, Takes the World No.1 ranking
Alexander Federer's era continued , making 6 consecutive GS finals from USO 2008 till AO 2010, winning 4 of them and regaining no1 ranking.He started to decline after 2010, loosing to players not called Nadal and Djokovic.It is normal because he maintained a very high level between 2004 and early 2010, practically in his prime and that is already astounding.Every player declines.Djokovic started declining at about the same age, Nadal when he was even younger.
I'm not that kind of "fan" that tries to defend his hero even in absurd ways, but sometimes I think that Federer's H2H with Nadal and Djokovic is "penalized" by his incredible continuity over the years. He reached the deep stages of many tournaments, even when not in the best form or when very old. I'm not saying that every time he lost to them was because he was either in bad form or old. I simply think that this happened to him more times than to Nadal or Djokovic.
Nadal beat peak Federer in Miami 2004 at age 17 lol
If Federer could won that final, he would win 4 slams in a row. How great that would be. Really hope this match was the final.
qing zhang Nadal won the Australian Open in 2009, so it would have been 3 in a row. But at least you're having a crack Qing. Love your work
Anthony Bob why don't u count 2010 aus open?
Sorry, my bad. You're right. I thought you started counting 4 in a row from the start of 2009.
qing zhang I think you are right, though if at the ao 2010 he was aiming for a fourth in a row, it would have massively changed the dynamics and increased the pressure and tension of feds. Perhaps he would not have been at the same level there as we saw him.
+qing zhang exactly, it would have been the "Roger Slam" (like Serena did by winning Wimbledon this year). But a guy called Del Potro had to ruin the party....

This is brand of tennis that won the hearts of many tennis fans. Vintage Federer
that is real federer for u when his age was not a concern for him,his greatness can be seen here in every single shot♥️
When pressure and lack of confidence wasn’t a concern. It is on his face the difference here and other US open after losses against Nadal and Novak especially 2016 final he looked way much nervous.
This match is under-appreciated. This was the best match of 2009, and one of the best matches in tennis history. The shot-making here is of the highest quality. This is post-peak Federer at the end of his prime years (28) vs Prime-Nole entering his peak. Quite simply: the best attacking tennis vs the best defensive tennis the world has ever seen. Djokovic's domination in 2011-2016 is a much a result of his talent and hard-work as it is a response to Federer. You see Djokovic not only return Federer's 1st serves here, but attack them. Forcing Fed to use his imagination creating in-out forehand angles, drop-shots, passing shots, net-rushing, over-heads... it's freaking beautiful. Only for Fed to lose to Delpo in the finals. :-)
Dont lie and say this is prime nole ...
What? This match is nowhere near the 2 matches from AO - Nadal vs Verdasco and Nadal vs Federer + the fact they were back to back is incredible
Federer always has a special place in history of tennis 🎾 no one can touch him
This version of Federer was a nightmare to his opponents. Djokovic didn't even play badly.

dedfed321 Djokovic hasn't changed his ggame at all to my eyes. Sure he's tightened it up but he's improved mainly between the ears.
Tesla Death Ray sure he did, between 2006 and 2008 he was hitting the ball as hard as he could, almost ball bashing, his forehand swing was different and so was his serve motion. his current forehand technique allows him more accuracy and better angles.
As much as people say he dominated in 2004-2007 , i think he dominated until begin 2010 . I mean until then reaching 18 of last 19 GS finals is just ridiculous.

I know... just reacting to the greatness. My favourite is at 9:58 "Oh Look!" (enough already, this is sick!) LOL
2009 and 2012 were the most beautiful versions of Federer to watch. This was one of the best straight-set matches of all time.
After so many times I've watched this match on KZhead, thanks for still recommending this to me from time to time, definitely one of the best tennis matches ever played. + the shot that perhaps will be remembered as the coolest shot ever hit in tennis.
And to think that 10 years later, Federer was still playing at an ultra elite elite level and made it to Wimbledon finals in 5 set match against Novak again. Novak won that of course, but that Federer was still that good in 2019! Wow!
Tuvo 3 bolas de torneo.. y novak las remontó.. federer se puso muy nervioso .. mereció esa copa pero djokovic tiene una mente fria para momentos importantes de los partidos.. nunca se pone nervioso

My favorite Federer racket by a distance, and his ball striking this entire year outdoors was beautiful. Not as powerful as the past, but a beautiful, crisp spin that created depth and height effortlessly.
You can see here how Djokovic's game today is more mature and refined in contrast to 2009. One appreciate today's Djokovic even more.

+Masterdoctorgenius14 2gs minimum? Lol, okay, lets not fool ourselves, Rafa would have spanked him in 2010... 2011 is another thing, but Rafa would go in as clear favorite, so, its 1, considering 09 he lost in the final anyway.
Rafael Mertin he wouldn't spanked him in 2010 , it would be an absolute thriller
He got some justice with all the later wins 2011 onwards. Djokovic has always been brilliant. In fact only his mental game improved 2011 onwards. There has been no real change in his physical play in the last seven years. But Federer was in his prime here. Just too good for Djokovic. But Djokovic played very well. Federer served the best I've ever seen him serve in this match. They looked like Sampras serves.
This is the racquet that Federer has the best feeling. It brought him many titles
Federer's forehand was so potent back then.

Forehand hasn't changed much. Surfaces got slower and fed lost a lot of advantage in serves and the ball flying off of his forehand
Surface, age, expectations. He is the one I would say has dealt with most expectations and pressure.
@@ishaangupta4125 His forehand has declined for sure. Even this 2009 forehand wasn't as good as his peak 2004-2007 forehand. In the 2010s his forehand wasn't the threat it once was.
Yeah due to slow surfaces, Fed the only one who can adapt and compete in 4 different eras 90',00',10',20' Federer the goat
This is Fed still close to his prime and Djoker very close to if not already there. Fed was simply a better all around player . That tweener in the last game was legendary! Great match and extremely high quality from both players
🤣
Nole was nowhere near his prime here - you can see how immature he is during the crucial moments that he would convert after USO 2010. He acts weird and rushes instead of approaching things with calm mind. I think Roger's prime was late 2003 till late 2007. => So you are wrong on both accounts - its just that 80% from Roger and 60% of Nole is still insanely high quality
When Roger at his best no one could touch him no matter how good they were!!! Its like poetry watching him on the court, more than anyone,.
Apart from Marat Sarim in the 2005 AO
His performance vs Blake in 2006 was by far his most superhuman match
I mean he literally lost the next match

one of federer's best matches. in 2017, after he won no.18 people say his backhand is better than ever. I don't think federer's 2017 backhand is better than this version. most important thing is, federer's forehand is not as good as his forehand in this match. cannot believe it's 8 years now. how time flies. thank God, federer now has 18 slam titles.
FH definitely was more aggressive back then but then again he had all the confidence in the world. I feel he is a lot more humble now and that probably translates to how he plays nowadays. Nevertheless, his 2017 backhand is way better than this(technique-wise) and also the way he is stepping in the court is beautiful to watch.
