He might not be the best statistically. Others have and will surpass him in records. But to watch him play gave me the most joy because there was a beauty in it and always a thrill to see what he came up with in the moment. He made it look like art. Miss him
People who don't understand art will keep on arguing about the GOAT. It's like comparing Van Gogh to Picasso. It can't be done
Roger to me is unmatched as far as talent..a master in every aspect of the game!
Also I think he has the biggest raw mechanical talent of the big 3.
Infact 58% of tennis fans have voted that Fed is the best player to have ever graced on the court.
@@afghanrocky Which means fucking squat lmao. Roger may be the best in terms of just mechanical potential and reflexes but Novak has a positive record over him on every surface and is gonna finish with 25+ Grand Slam and trash all his records. Cope.
Last year of the real Federer, and i think he knew it. That's why in that year he came back on clay for example: for me he felt that 2019 was his last year at the very top and wanted to compete in all the tournaments he could. Such a shame that in that year he didn't won a GS! Probably if he'd won Wimbledon he would have announced retirement at the end of the year (he carried on, but the real Fed ended with the SF at the AO 2020)
He didn't. He knew it was one of the last but he had no intention or retiring soon. He wouldn't have retired even if he had won Wimbledon. If he didn't have physical problems he would still be playing right now. Injuries robbed us of at the very least the last 3 years of his career and possibily 4 or 5
Feel that
@@lukerne9260 without injury he could have played for another good 2 to 3 years. He still made to 2nd week of FO and Wimbledon without much match practice in 2021
@@blistering2900 he still played 3 more years WITH injury. And even in 2022 he was still ready to put the effort to continue playing for another season at least, which means he wouldn't have stopped at 2022. So no, he would have played for more than 3 years after 2020
@@lukerne9260 Yes, but injuries come as a result of phyisical demand of playing a professional sport. Sooner or later, you can't do it anymore.
No one can ever match the class, the elegance, the smoothness and the ease with which he played the game. He took the glory, dignity and popularity of the game to another level which others can only look up to...
Intangibles are subjective and are only appraised in the eye of the beholder. While records and numbers are objective and not up to opinion. And we know how he has been outstripped by almost every metric by Novak and Rafa. I do feel bad for him a little but then remember he is billionaire.
@@iannovak5223 sure, Rafa and Novak have better career results than him, but we all know who everyone who plays tennis wants to play like

The 16-minute video was a flash for me.Beautiful tennis. I can't believe Roger left the tour😮💨

Oh boy, don’t you miss this tennis maestro! Sometimes you watch matches from Novak and the nextGen and thought they were amazing, but then you watched Fed’s old match highlights, which reminded you again that there will never be another Federer and no one on today’s tour can turn tennis into such an eye pleasing art performance.
matches from Novak and the nextGen are boring as hell
@@instalive2477Alcaraz owned the dirty serb 😂
Most talented, skilled, greatest, successful player of all times is Roger Federer and there will never be another like him. God took Avatar as a tennis player, Federer, and this can happen only once in this universe, before extinct
@@fejuncorthey are not at all boring. Let go of roger and move on.
This is the actual best player to ever play the game. And I am a Spaniard so most people could think I have a pro-Nadal biased. Objectively, no one has ever mastered the technique like Roger Federer. He is how you play tennis. The rest are just trying. He is doing it.
Can’t believe it’s been almost 5 yrs already since Federer played his last true tennis season
Roger, forever number 1 !! I miss the guy so much !!
He is 3 place and its true.
Third best of the Djokovic era ❤️

What a class player no one match this class only Federer is goat
Federer had every shot in his toolkit. Amazing talent and so wonderful to watch. A true legend and champion. No fist pumping, no grunting, no looking at his players box like a kid for help. Just him and his opponent. You truly were One of a kind Rodger and you are so missed in tennis today.😥
What does looking at the players box have to do with anything he probably looked at wife once or twice a match like what
Back in 2005 he was no. 1 and he won 3 grandslams And he had not kept any coach and the player box used to be literally empty for him in the initial rounds I have never seen this with any other tennis player ever
RF the most beautiful player I’ve ever watched. Hes so Grateful, Elegant. The calmness, the most humble Tennis player in the court. You can feel the positivity when he play. Hes #1 in my heart. There is no orher than Roger Federer. He is the best.
he is 3 best player '2 nadal andnumber one is novak Đokovič
He is the third best. Still pretty good though.
Few, very few, human beings can truthfully say that they elevated and added a new dimension to their "field of human endeavour". Roger Federer is one of them. What he did may not have been political or scientific or intellectual or humanitarian but it was beautiful and joyous and wonderful to watch. And more often than not, that's all we need. Tennis incarnated itself in the Fed and he, in turn, created and revealed a new aesthetics for a most physical and athletically demanding sport. He is and will forever remain its gold standard, its magician, its most sublime manifestation. Thanks for everything, Maestro. 🙏🏽 P.S: I wrote this the day he retired and watching these highlights of him (when he was almost 38 y.o) only confirms that Fed was and will be tennis's "only true genius" and a never-before-never-again phenomenon. We were lucky to watch him.
The Beauty of his Tennis will never see like it again. he is The da Vinci Of Tennis. we missed you, Maestro 💔
The best, the greatest, the biggest of them all...to me no one has played such a beautiful tennis ever❤❤❤
Federer is at best the baddest bitch of GOAT pimp Djokovic
The GOAT has retired, but he has left us with a lifetime of wonderful memories.
Literally the most skillful tennis player of all time. What a GOAT
Until Alcaraz came along👀🙈 That kid might take his title
I never get tired of watching Roger play. Such a beautiful playing style and thats why he'll always be my favourite player.
It was last healthy period of his career, 2019 was successful enough and the Wimbledon final of that year is still a nightmare for me as Federer fan!! ((
I'm not Federer fan, but that one hurt me. It would have been the perfect end to his career if he won Wimbledon beating Đoković, but instead it's the most crushing loss in tennis history.
I literally cried
Don't mention it.....too painful, I think he feels it until today ouch x
yes he deserved 2019 wimbledon, it hurt when he missed match points and didnt closed the match
Third best of the Djokovic era ❤️
The GOAT, tennis miss you so much Roger! LEGEND!
The tour will never be the same again, miss Roger so much

Carrington: You know, you're right though. I still miss the days of Agassi, Becker, Sampras. It's a void for me that may never subside. Roger's absence will feel the same. Nadal too. 🤥

That one handed backhand, waving a magic wand, in the hands of an absolute MAESTRO. I'm just happy I was able to see it and appreciate the artistry. Thank you, Roger.
the best attacking player in history.
It gives me joy to see Fed play. He had so many options each time he addressed the ball. Such variety of shots and spins.
Zero on-court problem-solving ability though
@@sleepyjoe1374 true. His game was more centered around making his opponents problem solve so his defense wasn’t always the best.
@@sleepyjoe1374 that’s literally not true. Just watch these highlights versus medvedev and how he exploits his return position
@@thehiddenfamily
@@Divvy21 very true. Fed was a ball-basher and got flustered when better players were able to problem-solve around his ball-bashing, like Djokovic and Nadal.
You can win 22, 23 heck 30 grand slams but no one will ever be able to produce the tennis that Roger Federer did. Undisputed GOAT of tennis.
Actually it’s very disputed to the point where few actual tennis fans call Federer the goat anymore 😂 even on espn (the most pro-Fed channel) they mentioned two other guys as the only two remaining in the goat race lol. Also funny how the criteria for “goat” changes as soon as he’s surpassed lol
who can win 23 grand slams, sir? I think no one did it in the past, and in the present there are only two who can reach this number. A very, very limited list of just two players
@@mikemoggerson6651 the goat doesn't exist and never did. GOTE, Greatest Of This Era is the most accurate
How is it undisputed? It's very very disputed clearly, even many federer fans say he isn't *the* GOAT anymore
@@armadyl1212 FYI, several opinion polls in UK and Australia reveal that a majority of Tennis fans believe that RF is the GOAT.
I'm not a fan of Federer, but whenever I watched matches on TV, it gave me great pleasure to watch Roger play, he always performed everything so easily and freely. Surprisingly, he always seemed to be running around the court a little, moving so slowly, but at the same time he reached all the balls, and managed to respond sharply and unexpectedly for the opponent. Others don't know how to play like that, and the same Djokovic.
Man! There is never a highlight segment I've seen that I am never impressed by Roger. From the early days to till the last great days. He gave his heart, body and soul to the sport he loved. I love his style of play; never make it easy for your opponent and master your craft in every way.
Roger is not only a legend, but an art of tennis！👏👏👏
Decades from now if I become extremely old I'll probably still be watching Federer highlights. He is undoubtedly one of a kind forever when it comes to tennis and sports and also one of the greatest athletes ever.
artists paint beautifully, Musicians sing beautifully, Roger plays beautifully. No one may ever play it beautifully as Roger. With Love from Nigeria❤
Federer is the highest form of all court attacking tennis you will ever see. It is absolutely the greatest pleasure to watch.
There will never be another one like the great Federer. One of the very greatest sportspersons in history. Transcended the sport, the world over, as well.
Sure, just like there won't be another Anna Kournikova and transcended women's sports to a beauty contest.
He owned the next gen in this event, only Roger can win events with this finesse and domination at 37 years of age while totally destroying players about 15-20 years younger than him. This is outright insane !! He is the most fitting GOAT for me.
Técnica pura do maestro.
Fed and Novak are real legends for that matter 🎉
Third best of the Djokovic era ❤️

@@sleepyjoe1374 I don't think he was talking about being GOAT but about being GHOAT (H=Hand).

Had forgotten how bad RF thumped Medvedev and Medvedev has never beaten RF. And before you guys start saying, "oh Medvedev wasn't as good in 2019", he beat Novak twice in 2019. Roger's variety gives players like Medvedev the fits.

Roger is not ‘the’ GOAT but he sure is my personal one. Even Djokovic would admit to being awed by Roger’s game. One of the few I’ve ever seen mix flash with efficiency. He could simply do it all. Miss him on the tour but what an astonishing career!
Poetic. The final Masters for the Maestro.
The freaking GOAT and I even say this as a Serbian! Anyone who's been watching tennis since 2005 or before (and also isn't deluding themself) knows no one else can reproduce tennis in the way Federer has done.
I can say without a doubt in my mind that djokovic is the freaking GOAT, and I even say this as a Swiss man! Anyone with half a brain who’s been watching tennis in the last decade(and isn’t also deluding themself) knows no one else can come close to the dominance that djokovic has produced and is continuing to produce.

GOAT. Maybe not the most slams but definitely the most graceful, effortless, nuanced and gracious form ever to set foot on a tennis court
Simply the most inspiring player ever! A genius!!
Non mi stanco mai di vedere e rivedere le vecchia partite di Roger Federer e sapere di non poter più rivedere la bellezza stilistica e le magie di questo smisurato campione, mi rattrista molto. Saluti
Man, what a beautiful-looking court. Looks like it is 2025. Also, the best player ever to grace the court makes it look even more beautiful.
The TOAT Federer - Third of All Time.
I don't know man... but watching his replays just makes your heart beat faster... if an artist drew the mechanics of an engine - you would get Roger Federer's gameplay.

These masters title runs are so good to watch.
My favourite player ❤
No problem.... i truely believe Federer will come back strongly in Wimbledon 2023 .... as a commentator ! .
this tournament was living proof that federer really had a stronger return game than most people credited him for. granted, nadal and djoko probably were a little bit ahead, but fed didnt have any problems at all beating big servers. for contrast, great fighters like bautista agut lost against serve bots in this tournament.
and seeing him live from front row was a different story ! when is he coming back ? ;)
He created lots of break points but had a poor conversion rate. On the whole, I'd say he was just short of being an elite returner -- way above average, but definitely not in the Djokovic-Murray-Agassi realm, which, truth be told, Nadal isn't either. The return department in which Federer was unmatched, even by Djokovic and Murray, was returning _huge_ serves -- the likes of Isner, Karlovic, Kyrgios. In part because of his return position: he would stand almost on the baseline and chip 225km/h bombs back at the server with his superhuman hands and reaction time rather than standing deep and hitting with topspin as is the accepted "optimal" method. This allowed him to take time away from the server (usually a big guy who needed an extra microsecond or two to recover) as well as cut off the exaggerated spin, bounce, and angle of the serve. Incidentally, Nadal is the weakest of the Big 4 against huge servers precisely because he goes deep and lets them create wide angles and high bounces. But he has still been a better returner overall than Federer for two reasons: his two-handed backhand and his conversion rate.
@@schrambiniHe isnt, hes retired for good.
What a pleasure it is to watch the greatest of all time trounce the serve-bot in the final.
I have been watching these new guys bludgeon the ball and yet there is not so much as a whisper when Federer plays.
Federer had a really good 2019 season. I think if it hadn't been for his knees, he would've won a lot more titles in the years that came after.
Legend ❤
That footowork and movement on the court is just mesmerizing. No dumb grunts and sliding around.
I think everyone can agree that no one does it quite like Roger.
Let's just take a moment to appreciate what a legend Big John is as well. He's never acted like a clown his entire career, and he has never once acted like a poor sport in defeat.
Roger almost lost his opener, was down BPs in the 2nd set but escaped, then a tight 2 setter vs Krajinovic, and after that, Roger just absolutely dominated and schooled all his opponents. The 2nd set vs Anderson was tight, but those last 4 matches he played at Miami 2019 were just awesome. Would have been really interesting to see Federer at this level play Medvedev at the level he achieved at USO 2021 (and during the 19 match win streak in early 2023). Oh and this is my favourite court colour on the tour. Fun fact: Roger Federer is UNDEFEATED at Hard Rock Stadium!
When Roger play in full flow no one on planet earth can match him.
Doubt tennis will ever look this good again.
How can anyone not be a RF fan? You can't even hate him for winning the most, damn he's likeable.
We all miss this legend very much 😢
Roger is one and only❤ I'm really miss him
Боже, как спокойно и уверено он это делает, чистое искусство! Гений которого так не хватает ❤
The way roger played it's still amazed me until right now, because it's just different
All this is a reminder of just how complete and masterful Roger has always been. He commanded and imposed with a complete and masterful game style. Carlos Alcaraz is the only other player to exhibit such rare traits.
Everyone only cares about how many times Djokovic has won grandslam tournaments, but besides, extremely talented, and an awesome player, Federer has never behaved like others ( for example, Djokovic's issue with Vaccine prior to Australian open in 2022.) That's why he's a true legend, champion on, and off the court. And he's been humble, modest, and kind toward others during his career.
i agree. his most defining feature is he doesnt say much and lets his opponent speak after they meet for handshake at the net. he doesnt hit others when they are down. this is what i notice that is very different. he reminds me of a innocent child having genuine fun and beautiful creativity in tennis matches.
Thank you for the tears of joy, Tennis TV!
se te extraña roger 🥺
Love these summaries of a tournament, more please!
This really was an incredible run. Hard Rock Arena just opened up 2019 and here he was making the entire tournament look easy
El juego de Roger siempre será el mejor. La perfección suiza !!! Se le extraña en el tenis.
I recall seeing him rise through when Andy Roddick and Ferrero were on top. Then you had Safin/Hewitt and later Nadal/Novak/Murray really staying dominant. You could see Federer adapt and change his game from playing on his own terms to going more offensively late in his career. So crazy how his eye sight was so good he could see the ball decompress and he would be chip returning 2nd serves to put more pressure on his opponents. Still a joy to watch him, wish I had rooted for him longer (was always rooting for the underdog). I'm glad I was able to see him play during his prime, what a classy champion (which is way more than what I can sadly say about Serena, Maria, Novak).
For a moment I thought I was in Bob Ross's art lesson
He was AT LEAST 10 YEARS OLDER than any of these players. That's an eternity in sports. Yet he beat them, amazing!

I love the irony that he hated hawkeye yet hawkeye gave him his last big title!
It does mit matter what others say for me he is the only one (the GOAT)
Federer is the only TOAT - Third of All Time - indeed.
Wimbledon final for me Djokovic was so lucky to won 2019 Wimbledon final it was destiny.. If u watch the replay Federer was so good i nvr thought Djokovic won that game
So True...
Up until now, I have hesitated to make a comment on the great Fed. I used to think he was a show-off and a big-headed selfish and proud git. I later realized that he was gifted and not at all like I thought he was. He has a natural aurora around him, he has grace and style. He doesn't put it on, It's a gift!
Love all the opponents he played here. First Albot who is known to be a big fan and follower of tennis, not unlike Fed. Then he gets Anderson who really pushed himself and made the most of his career reaching 2 Slam finals. Then Medvedev who is incredibly talented and plays in a very unreal and unique way similarly to how Fed plays also in quite a unique and difficult style, but both are incredibly effective in how they play, even Meddy more defensive and Fed more offensive. And then Shapo who is a very flashy one hander. Fed took him out and then Isner, a solid opponent during Fed's time who he's battled with and beaten many times and in a way Isner represents a great thing about tennis- the tight margins and what separates a win in the game to a loss from the game. And you have to push yourself to excel at all the small things and keep thinking and being creative out there to find a way to be the winning player. These are all players who I can see a little bit of Fed in. And it was an awesome last title run for the legend. Wimbledon woulda been nice too, but even the fact he reached the final there and nearly beat Rafa and Novak at 38 years old playing as well as he did at the time is wild. This was a solid last big title run in Miami
R blows the younger generation away at his age. Imagine how much more he would have been able to do in his prime.
Man, I miss Roger playing. There's always debate about the GOAT in Tennis and match/grand slam/statistic wise he is mostly beaten by Novak and Rafa. However, what can't be outdone in his true class and grace seen on and off the court. Roger won/was voted the ATP's fans’ favorite player award from 2003-2021, Sportsmanship award from 2004-2017, and consistently had the crowd in his favor when he played. He won the hearts of so many Tennis fans and I think that in itself might be as much of an accomplishment as his titles.
Wow winning popularity contest! What an achievement! Sadly, I remember seeing most prom kings and queens who won the popularity contests in high school end up being panhandling druggies. But sure, hold on to that title lmfao
Poor James Blake in the background of the trophy ceremony just being like "I remember when I was Federer's opponent over decade ago and he's still destroying people"
No other player is so captivating to watch. IMO the GS count doesn’t matter, he will always be The GOAT.
Federer will always be a piece of shit compared to Djokovic.
True gentleman and ambassador of the game. His records may be broken but there will never be such a highly talented and skilled player ever to grace the tennis court. Miss you heaps Roger!!! 😢
