and he fucking did it! you don't just take 6 months off and come back seeded 17 and win the tournament beating 4 top 10 players, including 3 5-setters and your biggest nemesis at the age of fucking 35! What are you roger ! GOAT
I never said they were not gracious, so is Nole, Rafa, Murray, in fact if you remove the odd outliers, most modern day players can be easily classified as gracious. But I am not talking about just being nice here, its his personality and way he honestly answers everything without any affected mannerisms. I guess that is why he has more fans and support than any other player around ...
He has Absolutely No right to be in the AO Final . . . . coming from a 6 month Injury lay-off to go straight into the Final of a major is absolutely amazing. G.O.A.T
"I'll leave it all out here in Australia, and if I can't walk for another 5 months, that's ok". Never heard such determined words from Federer. That's inspiring.
Im Swiss and had the Chance to get to know Roger ( im related to a pretty famous Swiss Female Player ) and all i can say is, that this is rly how he is: Humble, always a good Sport and insanely funny at all times. Proud of him and sorta proud of being Swiss at this Point. Stan is also a great Dude.
He has done it, king of tennis , cheer for rafa roger final♥ much love to both of you , what an acknowledgement and love of sports...king roger♥ love you♥ roger is on fire tennis, his desire ain't no body better he is a warrior roger is on fire slam is desire ;)
+Religious-Democratic Socialist first volley rafa wins a lot because his top spin approach shot already set it up. But federer,,even without a powerful approach shot, he can volley amazingly both first and second volleys.
+Religious-Democratic Socialist lol you must be on crack, kid. Rafa better at volleying? Have you watched him won a volley to volley rally? Those volleys that you consider good were after approach shots where the enemies were on the other side of the court, those were easy volleys. Rarely! I understand why you think he is a good volleyer, but to say he is better than roger is out of this world. I would maybe consider your point had you said Zverev is superior.
What an amazing match....Federer had nerves of steel)) After on court interview was entertaining too....how can he stay so humble!! Damn no one is like him
roger and rafa getting old. every triumph now is special because you never know when the next injury would come. i just wish them well and and that they enjoy each moment.
Glad to see Roger back in a GS final after 6 month off, that's amazing. Very strange match today, Federer played well in the first two sets then he literally stop playing, making tons of errors and his backhand was terrible. The fifth set could have gone both ways, but there Roger was stronger on decisive points. Federer will need to play far better in the final if he wants to win his eighteen major. Come On Maestro !
6:23 that part especially is absolutely PRICELESS! dear god it's such a bomb to see Roger and Rafa both somehow playing amazing tennis again and maybe playing another legendary match on sunday. all fingers crossed.
no one ever talks about that but soo nice to have an actually intelligent interviewer for once. well done. and of course Federer. man oh man I do believe in you. soo strong
King Roger, I bow down to you...You are the man! Thanks for helping make this a FANTASTIC Ausie Open, along with Venus and Serena! Nedal now needs to do his part in making this a dream tourny. If Nedal comes thru I can say I will 100% not have any favorites between the four legends (Venus, Roger, Serena, Nedal). All are my favorites and whoever wins would be a joyful story to have experienced.
some people saying federer got to final because he didnt play murray, I say though he is sir andy murray, he would have got a nice tennis lesson from sir roger perfect federer if the match happened...
Zverev played the match of his life against Murray though, he was extraordinary. Murray could've beaten him on any other day. Congrats to Federer though, another Nadal-Federer final would be amazing.
Murray was too passive. He let Zverev come in and be aggresive at any time he wanted, because his style is more of a baseline grinder that occasionally goes to the net. His passing shots weren't on point therefore Zverev took advantage. Federer is another animal, because he likes to put the pressure on you almost every point he can. He likes to go to the net with almost every ball, whether its of his serve, of a return, of a good shot, or a slice. That means Zverev had to pass and DEFEND against Roger most of the time, which is not his style. That is why Roger outplayed Zverev. Murray read the match the wrong way, he played with fire trusting his defensive skilss and got burned. Like Sean Barber said. Every match is different, every day is different, every opponent is different.
what a man, what a personality ! i would love to see him winning the Aussie Open this Sunday ! ultimate respect for Roger! form me he is definitely GOAT !
Federer has been the great role model for tennis world, espesially nowadays.. 6 times in the final of AO at 36, shows he still believe that he can play at highest level and hungry for grand slam title. Just one more step of AO17 champion, he will be the greatest legend in the world. Good luck Fedex...!!!
I'm happy Roger won, I will be more happy if nadal win tomorrow's match with Gregor cos it will mean that my two tennis idol is in the final once again after a long time.
Federer is playing like a world no.1 right now, absolutely amazing tennis, accurate, powerful and responsive to circumstances but I'd still love to see Rafa win out - even though its a long, long shot
Roger fan so would obviously love to see him win but Nadal is so good AGAIN and Dimitrov has come so far that it would be a shame if he didn't win. wish all of them the best luck, obviously Roger is my favorite but whoever wins or whoever we see play on Sundan, it's going to be magnificent.
"I think I am his number one fan, of Rafa." Did Sampras ever say this about Agassi? Did any other greatest rivalry resemble such a class act? How privileged are we to be able to witness this grace
Damn this guy is like the politician of tennis world, meaning he really knows how to talk. No wonder why he is always the crowd favorite. It is like he always have the perfect words and the perfect speech besides been a fantastic player.
