Roger Federer "Casually" Handling the Best Doubles Team in Tennis History 

Yeah, as a kid the only time I prayed for a Federer loss but he didn't 🥲

It's the Olympics. Favouring the 'Stars' goes completely against the Olympics ethos. They surely just need to draw lots - so court 2 is entirely appropriate.

Doubles is fun

Roger looked overwhelmed and burned out this year until hear. He actually had fun.

@@jer8279 after years of amazing dominance, he contracted Epstein-Barr virus (Mononucleosis) at the beginning of 2008, and played over that illness. He lose badly the Australian Open semifinal against Djokovic, and continued to suffer unexpected losses in the subsequent months. Apart from the consequences of the illness, which are sometimes very serious and very long lasting (some players were forced to basically quit playing foreverafter mononucleosis, Federer was even comparatively lucky), he suffered a loss of confidence too, which was the main reason behind his very tentative first 2 sets vs Nadal in the Wimbledon final the same year, when he had to be considered reasonably healed from the illness. Despite his loss in the singles vs Blake, a player he was mostly used to dismantle with ease (this says a lot about how long can take to recover completely from a serious illness like mono), this doubles gold medal helped him in finding back his confidence, and for UsOpen, he was back at full force.

The grip on the single handed backhand is completely different to the volley grip. There is no direct correlation here. On the other hand, they volley well because they are world class tennis players.

@@bigrobsydney the grip doesn’t matter. Single handed players usually have better backhand volleys and slices. Go ask your local tennis pro if you can’t figure it out.

@@jesse9307 given that people with 2hbh hit their slice frequently with one hand, I do t see how there is any difference in this one specific point. Feel free to explain it.

@@bigrobsydney I'm sure you play 3.0 tennis at your club. Go ask the tennis pro if you can't figure it out.

@@jesse9307 my daughter is a tennis player and was ranked #1 in Surrey and #11 in the UK. I coached her, and I've played for over 35 years. I don't need the opinion of another person. I'm asking you to explain your comment now, for the third time.

They didn't show replays in the original match unfortunately, donno what the director was doing honestly!

Thanks, Peter ❤️

Haha absolutely man thank you ❤️

Description mate

Well...cuz nobody's going to click if it's Stan's name in the title. Just being honest...

@@jollymolly2521 Roger and Stan handle the Bryant brother...nope not gonna watch that! Lmao that’s ridiculous

@@jollymolly2521 maybe not nobody - as Stan is well known as the only player post 2014 to defeat Djokovic in 3 different grand slam finals - and on 3 different surfaces ; and to cap that off he rolled Djokovic at the Aus open in 2015 - semis - went on the beat Nadal in final Now ; as incredable as Feds record is - dont belive he has a single GS finals wins over Djokovic since maybe 2009 or 10 ?? Nadal is the only player who comes close to Stans record - with wins over him at GS s ..... So thats why many know and admire Stan - hes a legend in my book

Because Stan the Man seems to be one of the few players for whom the court aside the player at the net never seems wide enough. It's understandable to play body shots sometimes, but I haven't seen him play any match without a couple of those. Some say it's fine, not me.

It's 100% not real i guess

the best doubles team in history is McEnroe and Peter Fleming, not the Bryans. No good players even play doubles any more.
