Roger Federer Press Conference | Laver Cup 2022 

It's crazy how that many words are not even enough. Simply Roger Federer.

@M What does football have to do with this?

@M So what? Apples / Oranges. No discussion.

@M at least we don’t act like pussies with fake acting

I’d throw in good looks in there!

true

Oozes ? 🤣😂😂 these weirdos I sware

@@donatobaonguis4315 Very true

@@genesisnkaidence8519 Sounds like you don't have a vocabulary and looks like you aren't good at spelling. Don't take it out on people who do. Have fun watching tennis.

@@genesisnkaidence8519 normal word? Someone dumb?

You could not have scripted a better ending to this press conference. Mic drop.

And was effortless at it. I often question where he’d be if he grinded more like the other two, and changed his racquet sooner.

@@AllisonJonescastdirector3474 to the first part, yes, he wouldn't be Roger the smooth artist. To the second part, oh boy, that's his biggest career mistake IN HINDSIGHT, just like Sampras said it as for him. Winning Slams with such a small frame, it's hard to make the change

Yes, well said.

Brilliant definition!!!

I’d have all three on my team, but the artist will lead!

Best comment ever. 🙂Have a nice day.

@M What is your end goal with posting this? Attention? Has nothing to do with this video.

@@AllisonJonescastdirector3474 He's posted it on every Roger video so far and multiple times. A pity he doesn't realise how boring he is, with nothing much to say.

I hope he lives up to his promise not to disappear. He can continue to be a huge part of the sport if he wants to be.

Wonderful words! Djokovic and Nadal are machines or robots if you like, but Federer was an athlete that moved as gracefully as a ballet dancer. He was unique and a cut above the rest. They may win more Grand Slam titles than Roger but they will ALWAYS be inferior to the great Roger Federer.

For sure he is/was such a great tennis player, no doubt about it… however being the GOAT is not a popularity contest, it is a matter of facts not to sweet and tender subjective opinions, RN and ND have surpassed to RF in the GOAT race so he is not even longer a contender…

Me 2. Saw Roger and John Isner have a great match!

@@vvaltierra5556 It's not a matter of being a popularity contest, and it's interesting you say it's not a matter of sweet and tender subjective opinions then follow it up DIRECTLY with a subjective OPINION. Greatest of All Time - Mania isn't something new being debated , in a variety of sports. Novak has captured many ATP records, Nadal a couple himself, RF still holding on to many that will probably never be touched, so where do you draw the line already eliminating him when Hall of Fame players/analysts still have him very much in the conversation? I'd like to know the credentials that put you and your opinion (shared by many, I'll admit) ahead of players and former players that COMPLETELY disagree with your statement. I'd venture to say Michael Jordan is probably the widest-margin "GOAT" if there ever was a clear-cut, and he was the furthest thing from the winningest player ever, didn't retire with the most points, rebounds, steals or assists, yet he maintains this status based on his playing style and HOW HE CHANGED THE GAME. If you're going to throw around terms like GOAT, it absolutely has ALWAYS gone beyond just the stats, or every GOAT people have named in sports (Jordan, Tiger, Nicklaus, Ali) are all just false, no? Nothing will eliminate Novak or Rafa from always being in the conversation, and I don't believe anyone that knows sports and more specifically tennis will ever not have Roger sitting at the head of that table of conversation as well.

Nadal and Djokovic are better than this weak era champ. Don't @ me you n words

@@vvaltierra5556 Thank you for putting your opinion on every Statement, but You’re failing they key point right now, this isn‘t about who‘s the goat, it’s about roger‘s last match, so show a bit more respect ;)

Couldn’t agree with you more. 🙏🏻

YESSS

He is TENNIS 🎾

Guys…. For sure he is/was such a great tennis player… however being the GOAT is not a popularity contest, it is a matter of facts not to sweet and tender subjective opinions, RN and ND have surpassed to RF in the GOAT race so he is not even longer a contender…

@@vvaltierra5556 Roger - The magician Rafa - The warrior Novak - The machine Greatness lies in the eyes of the beholder. I consider Roger the greatest. I prefer magic. Magic is hard to replicate. His talent and style combined with his winning makes him quite unique unlike the other two greats. The thing about records is that they are always broken. Roger set those records to start with for other people to chase. It’s easier having a target to chase than setting one for others to chase. You just never know what number is enough and the motivation isn’t the same. So if someone comes along and breaks it, yes that makes them great but numbers cannot be the only measure for greatness.

@@fanvalryinc6527 Pete Sampras was before the tennis record man to Chase…. Before him some others…. Now the new goal to achive will be ser either by RN or ND, that’s the nature of the sport… I insist, Roger has been surpassed for the GOAT race already, he now has no longer chances to compete for that achievement… still for sure he is and will be one of the greatest but for sure not the very best based in facts…

@@vvaltierra5556 wrong, the thing about being the greatest is exactly that numbers alone don’t do the job. Rafa and Djoker are more successful, no doubt. But it takes more than quantity of wins to truly become the GOAT.

G.W.O.A.T Greatest Way Of All Time

That's not their job. They are the media and they need to be professional. Tennis "media" are notorious for being hacks, but it seems this occasion brought out the real journalists.

I disagree. It is on his own terms. Father Time catches all athletes, but he’s not retiring because he’s not able to play tennis anymore, he’s retiring because he’s no longer able to play competitive as he would like to because of his body limitations now.

Well, he had two championship points at Wimbledon in 2019 when he was still competitive, then he choked and blew them. Could have retired then and there, had he won. That would have been perfect closure to his career.

Also, he was luckily so blessed all his life not having many injuries. And now with the Laver Cup. It could be sooo much much worse.

Yes how can u even have doubt wen two players have more gs than him. Sure

Taking the baton from the likes of Michael Chang, Sampras & Agassi. Passing the baton to the current young guns like Felix, Tsitsipas, Medvedev & Alcaraz (took a pic with him in Wimbledon 2019) wish they played an official match. I really thought he would play 1 last Wimbledon, really sad man . .

@@ale03000 yupp i will sure cry when his final match will get over

AS a volunteer in a developing country, friends lent me a key to a room with a TV (wide-screen at that!) in their little hotel, to watch the end of the Oz Open - Roger was in the Quarters. Didn't feel well - headache, hot/cold, shivering - and had to leave to go to the doctor's. Diagnosed with malaria, missed the whole end of the Open and Roger taking the cup! I did think, why me?!

Murray deserves to be Big 4

You made me tear up a bit now by mentioning it ;)

that's not bad for a second language. keep trying.

Love you Roger and will always ❤️❤️❤️

What Rafa has been saying for years.

Yesss!
