It's amazing how dynamic a player Escude is. Escude is a top tier talent and his explosive movement is showcased here. Federer truly played in an incomparably competitive era!
Very nice upload! Roger played Escude 3 times in 2001 and the other 2, the Frenchman managed to beat him, one of those times being in the Rotterdam final in what would have been Roger's second title.

@@bradleydavis9502 Henman's backhand was just about enough, for the way, the game was played in the 90s. Its not always wise to compare different eras, but Henman's BH would have come a cropper against heavy top spin of today! Henman's BH was just about average with decent volleys, definitely not good enough to win slams!
that was his worst season by far kind of remind me of what Djokovic going through right now even though Federer was like 33 that year in this match. crazy to think he's next major run will be 2017 that's a long drought for him .
Al di là della differenza tecnica tra i due, qui si vede proprio la differenza tra un campione ed un ottimo giocatore. Federer giocava per vincere e si vedeva nell'impegno che ci metteva, Fognini sembrava facesse un match di allenamento
Super upload, my friend! This was a tough loss for Fed back in the day. For the first time in 8 years he was not in the Wimbledon final. Berdych was close to doing the impossible that year by beating the Big 3 in succession at a grand slam. He beat 2, but the 3rd was too much. Rafa was in fantastic form and to be honest, I don't think Roger would have beaten him in that eventual final. Berdych on the other hand, managed to beat Roger in the places I expected the least, at WB in 2010 and at the US Open 2012. Kudos to him.
I look forward to whoever uploads a trimmed version of these highlights that don’t include walking around or toweling off. This vid could be 10 minutes shorter, easily
I might be crazy, but there's this fast-forward option you can use. Takes little effort.. Also, tennis isn't a highlight show😆 crowd and player reactions are very much part of it too.
Really wish roger had changed his racket sooner. Not saying he would’ve beat Rafa more but you only have to look at what happened from 2017 onwards to show how much better he performed against him.
@@peRFecttennis un miracolo essere arrivati anche solo in semifinale con la squadra che avevamo... contro Roger e Wawrinka in quel periodo poi non avevamo proprio chance.. in finale con la Francia li dominarono completamente nonostante fossero sulla Terra Rossa con Roger che aveva male alla schiena... non entrò in campo nemmeno nella finale del Master pur di risparmiarsi per la finale di Davis...
Però se la sono guadagnata battendo l'Argentina in trasferta e la Gran Bretagna in casa.(Fognini fu straordinario contro Murray) Chiaro che contro quella Svizzera in trasferta era praticamente impossibile... in finale fu Stan a tenere su i rossocrociati, prima che Roger ritrovasse un minimo di condizione.
@@peRFecttennis Assolutamente ! arrivati lì con grande merito... Fognini sulla terra valeva sempre più della sua classifica e la vittoria a Montecarlo lo dimostra... su Stan verissimo, lui che durante il percorso verso la finale era quello che più aveva faticato dei due poi però in finale giocò alla grande... quando ancora la Davis era la "vera" Coppa Davis 😉
