It amazes me how players of Roger's stature have to recap the match with these interviewers.........good on Rafa, Novak and Serena also. He's one of the most amazing sports champions we've ever ever seen........so much appreciation that he has graced our presence...... a timeless genius on the court and a great person from what I've seen.
A really quality match . Both FedEx and Norrie played well. Federer looked good in the first 2 sets and then dropped his level in the 3rd . 4th set IMO was toe to toe and the difference was who made comparatively less errors .
not just focusing on his wonderful talent on tennis, but also intelligent and good person to help early education in Africa. Amazing success in life really. I love Roger - all time best!!
I suggest you work on your color balance for the video - , most of these shows with this background have a red hue in the picture (wall, skin tones especially) - very noticeable and shouldn't be happening for the Tennis Channel :)
@@pauljohnson6019 I have to admit that I thought Roger would lose in first or second round but the man has the perfect game for grass and if he is not on 100% he can always win on experience against these younger guys, only problem is that Roger is much older but with him you never know so we might just get another match between the goats to settle the argument 🤞
Same here but I think Novak will be too strong for Federer and thats if he makes it to the final what with his age and lack of match play working against him. Saying that his unquestionable skills and galactic experience may just seem him through to late afternoon next Sunday.....
@@ElGrekos1995 I don't really think any single match between them can ever settle it. A match reflects momentary form. You're pitting a recently injured Federer against a fit Djokovic, which is not representative of their careers overall.
@@molybdaenmornell123hopp5 I am a Novak fan but I also respect Rafa and Nadal. However, I strongly believe Novak has found his way to stay on top for years to come and that he will prove his goat position.
Tennis Channel, please do something about the over-saturated look the players have. They all look pink, and look quite bad. They don't look like that in other interviews, so it's definitely something with the setup.
@@lequack7399 the court is absolutely is fine. They are paid loads of money so it SHOULD BE TRICKY AND DIFFICULT for them to play. If they are gonna break their legs then its gonna be more fun to watch. They don't get a pass if the grass is slippery
Fed knows the end is near. But I think he deserves respect. It's a risk to go out with a bang or lose early on. But thats the sport. I think even if he loses the next match, he will always be one of the greatest. He has nothing to prove anymore.
I think it's awesome to see Martina still involved in tennis, whether it's in the commentary booth or on the exhibition court (I saw her live at the 2019 US Open playing a legends women's doubles match, which she won, by the way)! However, I must point out more 2019 history; I was in London for Roger's first match at Wimbledon, and I saw the BBC evening news with Martina reporting on the day's matches. When her co-anchor brought the point to bear that Roger would be vying for his ninth singles title, thereby tying that of Navratilova's, she seemed to balk at that possibility, even to the extent of making the "vampire-repellant" cross fingers, as to ward off the chance that he could equal her record! I know that she did that spur of the moment with a degree of jocundity, but after the letdown he suffered in that year's final, I am curious to know how Martina would feel if he does win his ninth title this year...?!
@@HamaraBharatvarsh Maybe; Roger is more globally recognized than Martina was and is, I think. But they both have made huge contributions to tennis and beyond, albeit in their own different ways. I guess I'm curious if Roger winning his ninth would actually bother Martina; whether or not she actually considers him a worthy enough peer to share such a record at Wimbledon.
I wonder if he will follow Martina's path. When too old for singles, she kept on with doubles until 50 years old :) Still my fave woman. No disrespect to Serena! I'm older and grew up with Martina :)
He has already said no to that. Roger isnt going to keep travelling with, or leave behing such a large family, the girls entering teenage years too, to play either Doubles or the Senior Tour. Altho secretly, when the family is all away at Uni, I hope Rog might reconsider.
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy i can’t imagine how pathetic one needs to be to care about someone’s harmless and silly comment! what a loser! and based on the other comments you’ve made on this account, clearly you have anger issues.
it's monday, he talks about knee surgery and age, so i am thinking hey how's *Del Potro* doing? checking his ranking. can you effing believe it?? i am not gonna write down his ranking, anybody else can do it. it's disgusting. Will he come back a 4th time? yes he can. he is still young, 32yrs of age. he's got 8yrs to launch a major comeback like serena clijsters bartoli federer. but realistically speaking, delpo and andy woht be more than a shadow of themselves. it is obvious that they *are* past their primes, nobody is denying that. so why come back at all? nothing else going on in life? neither andy nor delpo would stand a chance against felix sinner and the likes. it's over for the oldies.
