Old & Slow? Roger Federer was FASTER than Supersonic (INSANE Speed) 

I am really missing seeing Federer nowadays. There are still some really great players around but none of them quite match his incredible speed and control. He couldn't always play at his peak level but when he did, he was untouchable.

Roger's fake to the right at 7:24 is masterful magic - he even lets the racket clip the ground to suggest he's scrambling to get to the other corner. And completely confident that he's tricked the other player where to hit, he scoops it up easily.

In 2010 the old ESPN magazine had a great Roger cover story - Why Roger Federer is the World's Greatest Athlete. I think I still have the mag somewhere. One of the things they talked about was Roger's underrated speed, but the author said more than speed it was his preternatural anticipation of where his opponent's next shot was going that allowed him to cover the court so effortlessly. That and he had great balance, court vision, court awareness and unmatched hand-eye coordination. And...my own 2 cents worth - he did all without doing the splits when an extra step would get him to the ball. Not that I'm throwing shade...much...

What a gem of a compilation. Thank you!!

OMG! Pure Federer Gold! What a compilation, if I could give a 1000 likes for this gem I would, Thank you 🙏🙏

Super-entertaining compilation, thanks. Love hearing the crowd hysteria.

Totally agree with you. Wish l'd seen this sooner. For Federer starved fans this is a treat. His physical conditioning is amazing. Your spiel is so on point. And this compilation is top notch amazing. So well edited. Please narrate more. Thank you ❤.

His anticipation level is off the charts! Most people don’t pay attention to their opponents racket so they are late realizing where the ball is going and the spin. Federer sees everything. he’s moving in the proper direction before his opponent has even hit the ball.

What a game! Thank you for sharing! ❤

Love your videos! The GOAT ❤

Thank you for this compilation. Always appreciated how he could cover all of the court, and then hit the return with such control.

So brilliant, and what's also very different is how much he enjoys playing. He's genuinely happy on the court not getting cross or worrying about winning, he just seems to do it for fun.

peRFect. How we missed him on court. Love this compilation. Thank you for the post.

GOAT

Simply the GOAT.

i think the fastest man on the court was prime Monfils but if you are talking to reflect/response for covering his court area then prime Roger Federer is the one you are looking for

Just an unbelievable talent. Greatest Player to walk the Earth.

He wasn't as fast as some of his contemporaries(Nadal, Chang, Hewitt, Monfils...) but his speed is very overlooked. Probably because of his elite footwork, court sense and anticipation.

incredible ma vero 🤯

Carlos, Carlos, All we hear is Carlos's speed, but First there was The Fed. And he is soooo smooth with it, you dont see that he is so fast, bcos his shot looks like he had loads of time to execute for the winner, Which of course he did.😊

Not just speed... he somehow manages to have a delicate touch at the end of those unhumanly fast sprints ❤

My GOAT

Roger MAY have had great speed. Why he was thought of as "the man who never sweats" may be because he was one of the SMARTEST players to ever play the game. His anticipation and reflexes did the rest. I can't recall how many times av point for him played out like a chess sequence because of how many moves(shots) ahead he was planning. Don't get me wrong. I am a HUGE Roger fan. I'm just saying there was WAY more than just raw speed. [Please forgive the typos. I have been trying to type around my dozing puppy.]

I laugh everytime when I see Andy Roddick throwing his racket.

Roddick threw the kitchen sink and his racquet at him 😂

Best movement ever on a tennis court.

Peak Roddick all day love that guy

Probably in the top 10 most athletic players in tennis history during his prime. His footwork was lightning quick and his endurance was very good; you almost never saw Federer get tired. I’d put him as like a tier 2-3 athlete ever. Not on tier 1 with Nadal, Djokovic, Alcaraz, but he could fit in tier 2 with guys like Murray, Dimitrov (underrated athlete, could even be in tier 1), Medvedev, Borg… I didn’t list Monfils only because his endurance is awful. Endurance is a huge part of tennis, yet Monfils was consistently gassed after 2 sets, didn’t recover from long matches well, and always bent over after long rallies. As far as pure speed and explosiveness, he’s right up there with the tier 1 guys though.

Had to be THAT as the last one

0:10 there's almost not a player in the world who wouldn't find that funny. But not Agassi......

Lol at the thumbnail

I do think Roger was one of the best at footwork and was quick but a lot of players at least nowadays would get to a lot these balls

Maybe oneday Djokovic grandslam record will replaced by someone but there is no one who will replaced federer magic.....federer will be remembered forever....because Djokovic achievement is individual but federer elegance forever for tennis

On one side we have roger who has immense talent and the other side we have novak who is after all a pusher😂😂...if someone pushes well than novak, he eventually loses the match..such is the talent of WTA GOAT Novak

Many fools who try to diminish Djokovic's records by coming up with the aging Federer argument in 2010-2015 do not realize that Federer was still fast and nimble as a cat especially in 2011-2012, and his game actually became more complete and refined in those years. His forehand in 2012 is extremely underrated, and it was more versatile than 2004-2007 even though it definitely lost power. Plus the variety in his game increased for the better in 2011. Fools who claim that Federer's aging made him worse are making themselves look even more foolish by diminishing Federer's level of tennis.
