No other player managed to polish his game as much as Novak
especially the limping
@@18yearsoldnot And the breaks and timeouts
From 2006 - 2010 novak had health problems that lead to mid match collapses etc. Classy tennis leaders like fed and roddick assumed novak was a joke and was gaming the system. And everyone went along. Then in 2010 novak was diagnosed with gluten and dairy intolerance, and changed his regime. The mid match collapses were replaced with what we know to be Das Goat. If the haters want to latch on to a fantasy world where Roger is the only true classy elegant genius goat, be my guest...but over time, yall will pass on, and all that will remain are the real world stats of wins vs losses.
Let's be real. If people were given the opportunity to learn all of Federer or Djokovic's strokes, any person who isn't living in denial would pick Federer's. That tells you all you need to know who the GOAT is.
@@initialize21 when it comes to winning, it takes so much more than elegant strokes and graceful hair tossing; it requires a genius to predict what the opponent will do next, and the mindset to remain cool, composed and fearless under the most extreme pressure. Any person not living in denial would want novaks fitness and mindset over rogers....and while rogers strokes have more elegance grace and poetry, novak has a clinical perfection that one would be crazy to ignore.
He's doping dude. Just face the facts.
@@initialize21 u must be a bot repeating this 10000x
@@initialize21maybe if you want to be the 3rd best player of your generation.
Djokovic never confronted Roger directly, during a match, or using the press. He was smarter than that. He knew that with the fans and the press, he would never win that war. So, he just waited, and waited, for years... he kept playing, and winning, and winning, slowly erasing all the big Roger´s numbers. One by one, year after year, until today. Silently, knowing that the popularity award was lose from the very beginnig against Federer, he went to the other direction, to the numbers. Breaking the majority of the records that belonged to Roger these years. And with that strategy, he broke what he really wanted to brake: Roger´s ego. As a sweet and giant reward for all the public humillation inflicted by the swiss with this kind of statements. And Roger has had to swallow that in silence, cause Novak never confronted him. Maybe to the big eye, the swiss is more beloved, BUT, the numbers (and that´s what is left in the history books) are Novak´s property. We are talking about professional sport, training all your life to be the best you can. A very few, like the big 3, has the opportunity to challenge and write history. Between them is all about winning the most. And Roger knows this: no matter how much love he can receive all around the world, the best of the best is Novak
Federer is half South African, djokovic is Slav by race. Federer is hostile to djokovic because he is not truly from the west, in this sense, they are alike, so true.
@@joed4027what kind of BS is this 😂
@@wanzacharywanisa5762 lol those pro Ukraine minions are really nazis
Silent River breaking a stones ! Novak definitely did ! And Novak doesn't have hate in him ! He takes time. Love Nole !❤❤❤❤❤
@@wanzacharywanisa5762 South Africa doesn’t sound west enough. Serbia is definitely not west. So true.
Absolutely. From this point on, Roger literally took dig at Nole / his camp at every opportunity. Each body is different and matures differently and as an older established sportsman he should have tried to understand that but he and roddick did everything to taint Nole's image and his retirements. Nole's family retaliated with "King is dead. Long Live the King". Western media showed us only the nole family issue but not the Roger's part (funded by his sponsors/PR machinery) Infact to this day, Fedal fans complain about those retirements Nole took early in his career and tag him as fake. But in reality, Nole only retired 4 times in the whole of previous decade compared to 11 from Rafa. Strange is this biased world or rather, strange is my expectation that expects an unbiased world from this poison media consuming audience.🤷♂
No I don't agree..Federer wasn't the only one who thought djokovics time outs were strategic because a lot of times djokovic bounced back and won after being down and put. Multiple players had raised an issue about it not only roddick or Federer The number of retirements were never the issue,the time outs and mysterious injuries which suddenly became ok we're the issue. Djokovic's parents just had resentment against Federer from the start.Federer was No 1 and they wanted their son to dethrone him. If it was about Federer's comments then they would've picked up fights with half the tour
Early? Are you serious? He did it during his hole carreer. And it wasn't the retirements they complained about. That is manipulation from your side. Nole is the GOAT, but he is not perfect. As Nadal and Federer weren't as well. Nobody is.
@@spideyocdif there is a rule which allows time outs, me personally as a player would be prepared for that time out every single match! Every single match next 20 years! And i wouldnt care if my opponents has broken his leg back hands or has a flu or headache, or cant walk or faking or not faking it…thats absolutely not my problem! My opponent can say he cant even walk and then beats me for example, I wouldnt say a word. I wouldnt bother myself thinking if he was faking or not. As I said he could be half dead or have a best day of his life I would focus on myself and give my best. So stop using those arguments against novak.
Federer pretended he hated Novak retiring , when he really hated Novak 😅😅😅 . Then when he realised Novak is gonna become goat , Federer started being nice to hide his hate . Westerns called this class 😅😅😅
Not you again 🤣🤣🤣
Ahh watching this from the 2023 perspective makes it so enjoyable. Knowing that all his records got broken, by the guy he hated so much back then
Federer went out of his way to put young Nole in his place and created a monster who became his nightmare. Don't push someone too far.
@christoschatzigrigorious3767 Federer did 10 slam finals in a row. Novak (6) and Nadal (5).

Djokovic forehand changed so much, he had a huge swing early like Robin Soderling
Which Federer capitalized from in this match really, with some defense passing shots being really insane…
@@cineastik8220 World Number 1 plays teenager ranked outside the Top 20.... In not much more than 12 months later tho Djokovic would beat Federer in a slam semi-final on the way to his first slam.

@@cineastik8220 Because who would bat one single eyelid if world number 1 Djokovic beat some world number 2x next month with a raw game (including a looping forehand swing etc) in a match. Absolutely nobody. This match is only notable in retrospect because Federer went out of his way to be an arrogant arse hole towards Djokovic here and Djokovic went on to be Federer's nightmare and the player than beat him the most times in his career and particularly in finals and slams.
@@huzcer: Dude, why not being grateful to Tennistic giving us material from the past? I like learning about matches with interesting backstories and insane shots. The fact that you constantly suck your boy‘s balls out and hate on Federer just shows that you, as many Djokovic fans, have serious issues.
I’m glad that Djokovic’s doctor found out what’s wrong so that we finally see all he has to offer! He is, indeed, the G.O.A.T.
he the GOATovic
Djokovic still uses fake injury time outs loll.. not sure what you're talking about.. he just did it against Alcarez when losing in Cincinnati.. nothing has changed.
he's 36 that kid can go all out and not get as sore, can bounce back faster. You got to consider the age, Fed was a maestro and could beat nearly everyone in his last 5-7 years, but the body declines...Djokovic is a wise Serbian, a sage or guru type. He knows his tennis @@Trueace21005
Why u haters act like medical timeout is not part of the tennis 😂😂😂
yeah, holding that piece of bread against his stomach and his arm got weak..... totally legit and not doping
The ultimate victim of anger, is yourself. ☮️ Didn’t Federer lose all 3 of the Wimbledon finals when Djokovic was his opponent?
Yeah and how much older is Fed? Like 7 years older?
@@initialize21so what fatigue is nothing in wimby cuz of the nature of surface.you can still play at absolute best
@@initialize21Federer is 5 years older than Djokovic. You do get retards adding on extra years tho - oh you just did it 😂 Federer last beat Djokovic in a slam aged only 30, over 10 years before he retired!
@@initialize21 6 years older indeed! But it's grass, not clay. And he should've won at least the Wimby19 F. Age had nothing to do with him losing there. He was playing lights out and was better than Novak in like 80% of that match. IMO, he could've won the Wimby2014 F as well. The difference was not as big as in Wimby19, but again he was slightly better(55-60% of that match) and again lost the majority of the big points. That shows just how much stronger mentally Novak is than Roger.
@@jay_kulinain the biggest career defining matches that go to a deciding 5th set Federer is not much better than half at a 57% win rate over more than 50 matches which is actually a very average result and not near good enough to be anywhere near the Wikipedia list for the top players in that area. Djokovic is over three quarters at 78%
This is why nobody should be written off. As a Federer fan, I have no qualms in saying that Djokovic chose the best way to silence Roger - by becoming a legend and making Fed swallow his words. Phenomenal journey for Novak!
I'm sure Roger took that Wimbledon 2019 personal too lol p.s. Djokovic definitely had the last laugh
Matches like these motivated No1et to be the best.🐐
as a swiss i have to admit defeat to djokovic, he is truly the greatest and i say this as a diehard rogerfan, fuck the public
Let's be real. If people were given the opportunity to learn all of Federer or Djokovic's strokes, any person who isn't living in denial would pick Federer's. That tells you all you need to know who the GOAT is.
@@initialize21What? Only someone who doesn’t care about winning would do such a thing. Of course federer has the most beautiful strokes including his OHB, but tennis is about consistency. And Djokovic is a monster in that department, with the most consistent forehand ever, not as graceful, but better in terms of winning.

But, But, I thought Roger was perfect ?!?
Only in his own eyes
"Frauderer". Nadal called Federer out as a fake in a 2012 spat
Never think I will read such stupid comments like this. Really are questioning Federer talent? He was the most talented guy ever on this sport. If you compare with Novak, Roger is better at every strike except for the backhand. But Tenis is not only about forehand/serve/backhand and vóley, is much more, that’s why Novak has his numbers over everyone.
How would this change that?

Well, Roger at first, didn´t like Murray either.

Excellent Add! thank you!
This handshake at the end was the moment when God decided Novak Djoković will surpass Federer to become the greatest player ever to play the game.
Y'all ppl in the comments need to chill ur tits a bit. This is 2006! This is Novak's first full ATP season, barely turned pro. I don't know if he was even top 100 yet. Lol. He was a teenager while Roger is 25 and in the literal prime year of his career ever. This is only the 2nd time they played of their 50 match rivalry. Novak was consistently exiting out of big tourneys at R64 or R32 at this point in his carreer; he couldnt even get to the quarters of the '07 AO a few months later (his best event). He was super green here, folks. So, I'm not actually sure how appropriate it is for Roger to say something like "I'm gonna destroy that serbian kid!"... Kinda says more about Fed than Novak if you ask me.
It's in the titel but did he actually say that though... looks more like clickbait to me
@bramvalkenburg5655 He most probably didn't say anything like that. And I don't think there was any hostility between them off the court. It's all just bullshit information to divide us into playing the favourites game of who's the goat blah blah blah......
@@precessionoftheequinoxes3224what is certain is that Federer is the guy who called Djokovic "a joke", said that he hit a "lucky shot" to beat him, the guy who shouted "be quiet" at Djokovic's family during an actual match... Federer is also the guy who self owned himself as a massive hypocrite, actually saying this COINCIDENTALLY just as he was losing forever his slam lead in June 2021. "It seems it's all about grand slam titles nowadays and I don't like that" 😂
@@huzcermate who is paying you...I see your posts with the same text all over KZhead, quite sad. And still lamenting that one time he said a family should be quiet, and he was right there.

@@fwvw7056 Djokovic never said a single thing against Federer in 20 years but absolutely beat that dismissive arrogance out of Federer and left him clenching his teeth in defeat again and again. Wimbledon 2019 was the chef's kiss story arc ending as Fed's hubris came back to haunt him one last time and he was left crying in the changing room.
Just look at the cold handshake from Federer. Lmao very humble 😂
Fed was never known for being gracious either in victory or defeat.
@@huzcer Neither is Djokovic. Disingenuous embraces at the net is one of the things he's known for. It's all an act. He's just trying too hard to get the fans to like him.

@@mynamejeff7108 Do you not follow tennis? Djokovic has been _whining_ about the fans not liking him for more than 15 years. He did it again, in Paris, just one month ago. It's patently obvious that he _does_ care.
@@mynamejeff7108 Too late. I saw your original message. You're despicable (i.e. a typical Djokovic fan).
When Novak call time out it was genuine call he had health issues.. that is why he did and continue doing to be as healthy as he can be.. Look at everyone who bad mouth Novak.. they are retire injured they are done while he stills playing his best tennis. Keep shinning KING NOVAK!
Tennis is like other sports. Whoever lifted the most cups is the best! That's how titles are counted in football, who has the most cups, not who looked the best in the final or the tournament. Maybe in the west, winners are viewed differently when they are from the east! This is the sporting spirit of the West and their envy of victories.
Man, some shots were really insane. 2006 Roger on rather fast surfaces was something else…
World Number 1 plays teenager ranked outside the Top 20.... In not much more than 12 months later tho Djokovic would beat Federer in a semi-final on the way to his first slam.
@@huzcerThat's because in 2007 the entire tennis world tried to make tennis more competitive by slowing down all the courts and the balls which took almost 10 kph on average off Roger's average forehand and what do ya know it worked. It made Rafa more competitive on hard courts and grass too. If you don't believe this made a difference just look at all the players batching right now about the heavy slower Dunlop balls. Players are booking their entire schedule around avoiding them because they know they cannot win playing with them and too high risk of injuries for anyone but the absolute most powerful brutes. Novak just hurt himself in Australia playing with these new stupid balls. Well they did the same stupid change to screw Federer over in 2007 and it certainly made the 2nd and 3rd place guys more competitive
@@ryaniam22 oh dear not this rubbish again - Federer couldn't even get past a 1/4 final at Wimbledon UNTIL they slowed it down.
@@huzcer Ya I guess kicking Sampras as at age 19 Fed sure had to put in his dues to get past that legend lol. He kicked his ass basically from day one. Get outta here with that joke of an argument. Again go look at replays of Rafa whinning when they sped up his beloved clay with blue clay and Roger tuned him up. Rafa whined like a girl. He forced tennis to go back to all red clay for the entire clay court season or he threatened to never enter a Spanish tournament that did so. So in other words.....the speed of the courts and balls make all the difference in the world at that level. Slowness to Rafa. Speed to Roger. They just happened to choose slower courts and balls for more interesting rallies. It is what it is. But sure as the sun it prevented Roger from winning like he had been winning. Maybe tennis is better for it....but still ain't gonna agree cause it's true. You have heard of how golf tried to Tiger proof courses too right? Almost all sports create rules to stop the top guys from winning everything. The NBA made rules against Shaq, MJ and Barkley too. We're you under a rock or something or does it just not jive with your narrative?
@@ryaniam22 And Federer lost to Tim fcuking Henman in the next round, a guy who never made a slam final in his life! Federer didn't make it past a first slam 1/4 final anywhere at any slam until a full 2 years later just a few weeks off turning 22!
Well Fed wasnt wrong in calling him "kid"... cause now he is the GOAT..
Just look at the slow motion and you can see the character
What an arrogance..."gentleman" 🙄 Novak is in a league of his own 🤴🏆sport legend, not just tennis.

Becker truly gave novak some confidence at net
For almost 10 years Federer had no real opponents, until Nadal and Djokovic came on the scene. Both respected champion, loved by the crowds. To make a comment by like this by Federer shows what a low life as a human being he truly is in real life. Pity. After the bribing of ATO and the lack of respect towards Djokovic, Nadal's integrity flew out the window after Federer's. Shame that just because Djokovic is not from a Western country, they can't accept the fact that he is the best ever tennis player. Shameful they were like this 3 decades ago when Monika Szeles was stabbed in the back so Stefi Graaf could get to the top. No integrity in Western country towards any one else's talent unlike us from the Balkan cheering every player from anywhere in the world. Shameful losers.
He didn't actually say this firstly. And just a suggestion for you Balkan people: don't portray yourself as the victim continuously, just doesn't work. If people are against you, then it is because Serbia started as dirty war in the 90's, and in general lack manners and etiquette. Work on yourself in stead of blaming "the WeST".
@@fwvw7056 The Balkan's are not playing the victim, especially not in sports, US, EU the real whiners mixing sport with politics( number of Olympic's testify to theat end) Monika Szeles was 16 when she became #1 3 years later Steffi's team bribed someone to stab her, thank God although aiming for her spinal cord he failed, robbed her of her sport, but not her life! In 2022 Nadal team bribed some members from ATO so Nadal has a beter chance to win! So I guess Monika was playing the victim also? Please get a few truths together and then critisize any nation, I did! When she tried to come back the trauma prevented her yet she tried to please her dying father, who served with me in the army!
@@johnmajores you are just delusional man. Seles incident was horrible, but in what way is it is conspiracy by 'the West'. Here is some Serbian logic from what I gather: be a total ***, be violent, be rude, cheat, commit genocide. Then: complain other people start to dislike you. Then: we are not playing the victim card, everyone is 'just' against us. Well, why might that be? As for Djokovic: his entourage/family, especially sister and father have been completely daft, delusional and toxic from the get go. Mister Djokovic himself: trying to lie your way into a country in the midst of a pandemic, organize a tournament without Safety precautions during Covid. Impersonate people (was mildly funny but not everyone appreciated it), throw antics, tantrums, break rackets, fake injuries / time-outs, bounce the ball 20 times so they actually changed the rules and introduced a shotclock for serving. Then: complain the audience does not appreciate this behaviour and then claim people are 'just against' you. Perhaps it is time to do some proper self reflection. But I know it's too much to ask

Its very hard to be so perfect in all moments. There are players who are way worse. At least, Fed kept his coll as much as he could throughout his career.

Hay algo que los números no te van a dar nunca, pero tampoco se puede negar todo lo conseguido por Nole, así que vaya mi admiración para los dos, y para Rafa también. El tenis es mas grande desde que ellos están compitiendo, no hay por qué elegir a uno sobre otros, eso es puro marketing. Generar polémicas es lo que las redes quieren, fuck you a todo eso, viva el Triunvirato del sXXI😅
I remember Djokovic was asked what would be the score if he played his 25 year old version and he answered 6-1 6-1 for me. Looking at his play then, I understand his point. His progress is huge on shots, movement and most of all - serve. It is fair to say there was a significant age difference between Federer and Djokovic, but Djokovic and Nadal are the same age and Nadal was the only rival for Federer when Federer was in his prime and still Djokovic accomplished what he did while having Nadal as his rival. Also what is now doing at 36 years of age is insane. If we are honest the GOAT content relies on numbers, not opinions. Federer remains my favourite player in style, Djokovic my favourite player on mental strenght, but the GOAT discussions should rely on statistics.
Novax had to wait for Roger to be 30+ before he could beat him regularly, and got half his numbers against the weakest era ever 2018-2023. doesn't sound very goat like to me
Lol.. Nole is a great guy.. Real.. W all the worts He s the man... For the next 30-50years
The start of the most successful "medical" timeouts of Nole. He never changed.

Spmeone as acting and someone is showing true feelings... hmmmmm
@@gordondeutsch3950 Hi Gordon, I was actually referring to Federer's physicality. He hardly ever broke into a sweat. But I take your point.
Federer had a nasty arrogance about him that he couldn't always hide. He was the best player of all time. He kept telling people that all the time.
...a fast indor court (chose by team Swiss) and a young Novak...
I love Roger,.. Set the new standard for all time greatness... But in a sport measured by Grand slams and tournaments won.. Joke s gonna win 25or 26 Majors and maybe 5-6 more total tournaments. I mean Noone here s suggesting Sampras is the greatest... It is what it is. Also Novak s more real, says what his heart feels, admits imperfections... More of a real guy. Too bad u can't accept it. Nole will get #25 some point this year. 5 more slams than Roger.. Thats Alot.
When Novak also retires, then we should add up all the parameters and who is really better, although that is already known, the only thing that Roger's fans will say is that Roger had a better style of play, and that is again...?
Poor Federer Novak is the GOAT
Nola was young here. He paid Roger back…w interest!
I can't see the ball.
To this day Djokovic is still pulling the same tricks. And people wonder why so many fans dislike him. He is an excellent player and didn't need to stoop so low but whenever he is losing he would do the same thing.
No he is not excellent player, he is the GOAT. This is not Eurovision. Federror is third best player ever.
Novak has always suffered from Celiac disease… so it is possible he takes a timeout for his tiredness & does so in important matches when he knows the match will go long and he needs his full strength to pull up stunners and WIN. Also in his early career like these ones he suffered from poor physical strength due to celiac & asthma so he used to take lots of timeouts. Now he has worked a lot on himself but diseases like Celiac causes fatigue and are incurable. Considering timeouts the opponent also gets to rest and recover for all the time Novak takes so NO EXCUSE
Medical timeout are part of the game thats true...similarly as 'Mankad' or throwing ball deliberately towards batsman's body and make him/her stop it by hands these things are also within laws of cricket...and every other game in the world has such rules...but whenever someone goes against spirit of the game and utilizes them is criticised.... similarly medical times in tennis are....
Federer was just jealous that Djokovic was better looking ♥
Joker is GOAT.
What was the year ?
2006. 😊
I think 2006
Federer’s last year of dominance was 2006. He was already losing consistently in big matches in 2007, his so-called prime. It took him a lot of tinkering and hard losses to step up his game and compete with nadal and djokovic, and when he did that he was able to get some big wins over them occasionally, but his reign was over. He was most often on the losing end from that time onward. Occasional moments of brilliance, some glimpses of his former glory, but overshadowed in the end.
In 2007 Federer won 3 Slams, the WTF and he reached the final in RG and beat Nadal on clay in Hamburg. So he lost just one Grand Slam match but he didn't dominate?Who dominated that year then?Djokovic with 0 Slams?In 2009 he won 2 Slams and reach the final of USO beating Djokovic and then he continued by winning 2010 AO. Who dominatedd the tour in 2009?Do you have anyone else in mind?
@@dinfak79392008 Nadal could finally make it past a quarter final at either the Australian open and the US open. Before that he was not even a contender at the 2 hardcourt slams of the year with federer playing unseeded slam finalists like Bagdatis or other guys with barely a career year in top 10 like Gonzalez. 2008 a young djokovic beats Federer at the AO, Nadal beats him at Wimbledon. Nadal's usefulness off clay was short but the true destroyer for Federer was Djokovic. That unreliable topspin backhand might have been good enough against Bagdatis but at 23 in the strongest era of tennis djokovic was dominating in 2011.
@@dinfak7939 don't forget 2017 when nole was in hiding fearing a 36 years old grandpa.....
He declined after 2009 french open . His hunger ended with french open . He got rejuvenated in 2017 again but from 2010 to 2016 he won only 1 slam and was in sleep mode .
@@abhishekksingh17 Djokovic's elbow injury meant Federer was able to get another few slams. otherwise he would have finished on 17. I mean Federer beat a teenage Djokovic once at the Australian Open. They played 4 more best of 5 matches there and Fed got 1 set total over the 4 matches. No way Fed was winning 2 AO's without Djokovic being compromised there.
Genève je m rappelle
Well, he shouldn't have lost his rhythm 😅
Federer's Wimbledon record is still safe- until Djokovic wins 9 or 10 Wimbledons, Fed is still the GOAT on grass.
The GOAT on grass 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Priceless how Federer and Nadal fans are grasping at straws.
@@Dee-zy5gh Fraudovic got schooled by a 20 year old at Wimbledon last year- ha.
Rogue frauderer
More and more people are now realising that Federer, despite his carefully put on nice guy image, was at heart a salty arrogant man. No coincidence that there was not a word from him when Novak won his 23rd and then his 24th Slam. Novak turned out to be the bigger person, again and again. Poetic justice that Novak has literally kicked Federer out of the record books. Literally all the records that matter now belong to Novak.
Who is laughing now???
Novak is the GOAT since he’s got the most GS now….but who wins between a peak Djojovic and peak Federer? I feel that a few close matches lost against Djokovic killed Federer confidence as he got older. But it would be interesting to peak Federer with no mental fragility against peak Novak.
Facts get a time machine, go to '06 Fed in the moment, propose a match against the "real best player of all time" (Djokovic 2015, 2011, or whenever), and see how he'd show up. Guarantee he would have very few mental lapses
Feels good man.
Ahaa😂
Novak is the greatest of all time. No one comes close.
hahaha FUNY ROGER 😂 YOU ARE NO3
Voilà pourquoi Novak et Federer ne seront jamais amis.
Peak Roger Federer owning Novak Djokovic 😁
Peak Fabrice Santore owned Roger. Maybe he is even Rogers real father.
@@nikolajecmenica1902he whipped Roger real bad. i remember that man. Roger was almost crying like a baby.
@@nikolajecmenica1902Let's be real. If people were given the opportunity to learn all of Federer or Djokovic's strokes, any person who isn't living in denial would pick Federer's. That tells you all you need to know who the GOAT is.
@@initialize21 Nope, not me. My choice is Djokovic. In a few years, Roger will be forgotten, and Djokovic will still be talked about. I also include toxic, salty people like you, who eat their own denial of the obvious, which is that Djokovic is the GOAT. Sorry, but who the f.... is Federer? ✌
@@initialize21you’re likely to commit suicide when novak win a grandslam
Djokovic destroyed him. LMFAO!
this is absurd, taking a 5 or 10 minute time out isn't going to make your opponent LOSE 3 STRAIGHT SETS IN A ROW, come on, Stan had plenty of time to figure it out, he just wasn't good enough to beat novak
Bad contrast could not see the ball clearlÿ.
About the 'big three": Roger was surely the most graceful, but the weakest mentally. Both Djokovic and Nadal beat him mentally.
To be fair Roger was somewhat right. Novak exaggerated his issues early in the career. But that was his way to cope with pressure Post 2010 he got much better
Al' njega i Nadala Nole❤24 pravo zajeba!Jos navijamo da Karlitos ❤ uzme 23 GS pa nece biti vise ni drugi i treci .😂😂😂
Pero lo engreído ,de Federer no se lo saca nadie y el circuito lo sabe 😂
Federer or Nadal are no saint and so does Novak.
Imagine that someone told federer about 40-15😂😂😂
Federer is Djokovic father
The only thing Novak has is championships... And Domination... Big deal... U d rather have fan adoration?
He showed who is joke at the end...
Roger has always been a sore loser even against his best friend Nadal. Its okay because they are playing seriously competitive tennis and with changing times Tennis is no longer a gentlemans sport and with serious money & fame involved such transgressions are part of the excitement. Btw I am a fan of Djokovic & Nadal.
😂😂😂😂😂 the joke is on RF! Cringing as his glory pales within few years of retiring. Grow up
You spend your time debating who is the GOAT??? but if you ask Rafa he will tell you it's Novak and then Federer He will tell you the Serb subject closed lets go to.bed.
The comments from federer and the handshake at the end shows that Federer has very poor sportsmanship. Yet he got lots of sportsmanship awards. Yes his tennis in this match was better than novak.
