@@otism4347 why

Amazing. How well educated our idol is. :’)

Well trained politically correct good boy

The media doesn’t listen-they will report fake news. He gives an answer and they ask the same question again.

Might have gone farther in French open too. I know he can come back

I'm giving him two more years. 1 or 2 more final appearances

@@juststop022 it's going to be extremely hard to find motivation for Roger! He definitely won't play long after Wimbledon. I can't even see him playing US open. Body is betraying him and I'm afraid he's juat forcing him self to play! We need a Miracle, another title or big finals to conclude his career!

@@juststop022 I give him 10 more years but no more semi-finals or finals for him. He should not care for the prize money for as long as Rolex, Nike and other stupid sponsors pay him.

@@rimtutituki92 Nike??? He’s not with them for years. Uniqlo has already signed a 10 year $300 million deal with him. He doesn’t even need to play to get that money

@Talastara yes it’s true can’t get over it, i need the HS to comfort me;(

@@Lucille-ki4ng he said he wants to play. He has the game still. Give him time to regroup. He will be back on the courts soon enough.

Youre talking of federer ofcourse he can handle losses hes already the 3rd goat.

Talastra that’s the sign of a true sportsman.

I agree. But I believe Federer is very dissatisfied with his level. I'll be honest, since his comeback, he hasn't even played close to a level resembling pre injury. He should have lost his 1st round match if it wasn't for the unfortunate injury. The bad form must be a big issue on his mind.

We didn't achieve 10% in our life vs what Roger Federer has done.

Time to say farewell. Enjoy what he has achieved and retire, especially losing last game 6:0

@@viovancici674 true

@@sti9767 Not sure he's quite done yet, he won't want to bow out on the back of that

Me too. His knees are shot though.

Me too .. just love his game and his unique style... players may come but no one can match Roger in terms of perfection, style and personality... Honestly I won't watch live tennis post Rogers's retirement...

he had a easy run 2003-2009 and won 15 slams agaisnt a very weak crowd got lots of play/experience and when nadal/djoki,murray came along he faded away with his squash play and won 5 slams only over 12 years

My thoughts exactly. He's a top ten player in the quarters yet again. Most pros never achieve those two statistics even once in their careers. If he wants to continue playing, he should be welcome. And if he feels he wants to quit, we should respect that too and thank Roger for 23 great years of tennis.

Exactly . He loses a Wimbledon final and people think he should retire. By that logic all those who lost upto round 4 should also retire?? Gasquet should retire.

The reason he's playing is to win grand slams. When it's not happening he should retire. He will forever be the GOAT!!

My take is: for dominant players of any sport is not a challenge to "just make it as far as they can" in a given competition, they are there to win it; by the time they see those victories less and less attainable, retirement becomes a realistic option on the table

It’s called journalism and yellow press. They want the worse news to be published. The worst headlines. That’s it.

yes he will go this year ! i am sure . in to retirement.

@@Liberty55555 it just shows how great Federer is that he makes so many people jealous of him that they get so excited about the prospect of him retiring. It will be a very sad day when that happens but far less sad than the life of a troller trying to make fun of the best player ever.

@@Freddie1M cheers. Very well put. Federer will regroup and play himself in. Big accomplishment to make the quarters after his long layoff and rehab from two knee injuries at the age of 40.

@@lieviontennisandwrestling2814 It's an insanely good achievement. Even if Federer had 2 knee surgeries in his twenties it would be impressive, but because he is 40 all of a sudden people like to create overinflated retirement drama and ignore the fact that he's hardly played in two years and has had two major operations on arguably the most important joint for tennis players.

@@Freddie1M fans love building false narratives and sticking to them as if their lives are richer by doing so. It's a strange world we live in. As for Federer -- thankfully, he knows much better, and showed that in his answers too. He'll take the wisest route back, and tennis will be better for it. Cheers

He is better at handling losses these days which is a good indication. He was very bitter before.

@@araarmo He has become comfortable with the fact that he is not the GOAT, which is good cause he used to be super entitled in the past

@@araarmo Nadal was also that way, and to some extent still is. maturity brings perspective: there are more important things than tennis. I could see Fed playing doubles if need be: less wear and tear, etc

@@araarmo true and he knows father time catches up with everyone. He will sadly be overtaken on slam wins by both Nadal and Djokovic.

@@PJ-cm8ix But that entitlement attitude helped him win. He lost that unbeatable champion mindset after Nadal thrashed him in 2008 RG and later dethroned him in Wimbledon. Federer hasn't been the same player since. He still won Slams after that point and was dominant for another few years but he lost his confidence and champion mindset. Look at how Nadal plays at RG or Djokovic, they have the mindset to win. Federer lost that long time ago. I suspect Nadal has also lost it after this year's RG and Djokovic will probably lose it in a couple of years after some younger guys start beating him in Slams. Unfortunately, the era of Big 3 has ended, it's just Big 2 now and soon they'll all be retired.

@@seantube15 Yup that's the true roger. Far from a gentleman like the original poster commented. People are so dull to believe in the media world war 2 should have thought everyone that naaw don't ever believe the media and propaganda EVER. Guess people are still naive sad to say.

Totally agree!

Hahahahaha

His only drawback is being 6 years older than the other two. Get rid of that and he'd be comfortably ahead of the other two in slam count....

@@habibhussain825 nah

I agree. What killed him today was the forehand errors, and Hurkacz having his A, maybe A+ game. I don't think he would have won that match even 5 years ago; perhaps it would have gone 4 or 5, but if Hurkacz kept that level and Federer kept missing forehands - from very easy, to medium difficulty - he could not win the match not matter what age, or what surface. Which is good news, really. I don't think it was age that beat him today, and I am hoping and believing that he will continue to improve for the year.

AGREED.

Some questions his ranking. It's 8,and he was among 8 best players. So it's okay

Hahahahahaha

Patience. Roger is a tennis player, not a doctor.

Roger’s patients hahahaha

He even apologized for giving repetitive answers!

@@internetcommenter6145 LOL

@@mbucd a fault picker are we. I understood what he meant but have the manners not to poke fun at him. Just tell him in a polite way the correct spelling.

hear hear! It's what I love about this man, not just his elegant strokeplay

in three, maybe four languages

How the eff do these guys go from one language to another in seconds and speak it perfectly lol. Roger is probably the finest example. Amazing stuff.

His English is awesome 👏

@@TheJhtlag What language was he speaking with the journalist before the french journalist? that wasn't german

Time waits for no man.

@@VoiceOfThe A Moment of Clarity amongst these comments

Will be fan favourite even when he retires!

Talck in your name

"We" as in his fans, not us all

Like princess Diana

I hope he plays in us open

Exactly!

He’ll retire when he wants. It’s not our place to tell him.

If he is ranked like he suppose to be, he would be swept at round 1. He is gone...

Kinda depressed after his loss, excellent message

Couldn't agree more, I don't get why some people are being so judgemental. He is doing great and even if not it's still his decision not yours

Very well said 👍

I agree he is a legend no matter what happens today,so lets stop the same question over and over about "its your last year playing?" like this confference, he is human and always he does what he can! more respect and less criticize

Pure class, and what facility in English, German, French!!! And this is what a postmatch interview should be...

Here, Here!!!

Well said !!

Agreed. Consummate gntleman, which I hope isn’t sexist.

English is his Second language ;)

Yeah, back and forth too. Respect to this guy

The guy a loser, getting bageled on his own surface🤣🤣

@@teragramlawrence2864 Well at least he owns it and doesn't eat it.

@Connor J the last time someone did it was 1991. Another legend called Jimmy Connors.

Whats the point? Clearly he lacks motivation.

Two years? He stopped playing in February last year after exhibition in Africa. The tour was stopped just few weeks after with only Dubai on schedule. There were no tournaments until August. He came back in February 2021. So, that's about 7-8 months of absence.

they had one objective from the questions and that was to see if he was retiring or not

Retirement as an issue is inevitable, where Roger at 40 years old is concerned. The interview was excellent.

I could not watch after the second set. Roger didn't say he had an an injury or something else for this loss. I still think he's the best.🐐👑👏🏼

👏👏👏

He’s not a baby like Osaka-who, BTW, will now be doing interviews at the Olympics.

Me too

@Logan Legend no! Djokovic is the goat

Mine to!

If Roger age for retired 38,Nadal can play 2 yrs,Novak 3 yrs,so looking how many slambetwen Novak an kadal

No other. None.

always a pleasure to see him get a bagel

A dangerous player? Don't make me laugh😂😂😂😂

Hahahha😂, idemo 😎

He spoke English, French, what were the other languages please? Thanks.

German (Deutsch)

@@ArinzeuchenduI'm only learning German but that didn't sound completely like German. Some words were similar but I reckon that might've been swiss German

Na scratch that might've been 4 languages

It was Swiss German.

That’s the thing tho he almost did:( I love roger btw but it is a little scary how close he was to being eliminated early.

Novak almost lost in the round of 16 at the French. Similar situation as Federer in this first round.

T Dane Almost never counts. It's like Fed "almost" beat Djokovic at Wimbledon...means nothing.

@@alyciauzelac6117 I was responding to the comment about fed “almost” losing in the first round. Yes almost doesn’t mean anything.

Top guys always have slams where they get potentially first or second rounded but usually it never happens. Just a close scare.

I think I can guess the last time...

I was..2019 Wimbledon final

I also bro

@@raturishikha it's almost a repeat 😢

I was almost dead in 2019 final...I cried like a mad person as if someone close to me had died. Yesterday I was sad and heartbroken but I tried not to think about it...I didn't even finish the match, haven't watched the highlights yet... it's always a pain in heart to see this man lose...but it's life, he's 40...I will always love Roger no matter what ❤️

the most wholesome take I have heard which echoes what I have believed. He knows what to do, and he decides. We are lucky to be watching him play still. He has the game. Age is presenting new challenges, and he has answered a lot of those challenges like the fighter he is. All respect to the champion.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dQw4w9WgXcQ.html

Ljevo mudo!

Just champion, not the great one. I can't forget his words, after young Nole won few games against him.

@@milutinitc4937 I dont think Djokovic cares about that any more. Fed is a great champion, but yea, Djokovic is greater.

@@djoleluk Novak is still treated as underdog. Part of the big 3, or big 4, allways after Fedal.... that is his main fuel. Only MJ needed that to be the best. At least crowd loved MJ. Noavk must play vs crowd too. That is why it taste sooo good.

@@milutinitc4937 what did roger say?

Djoković is the best, Roger is 2nd best. Respect.

He won’t. Unless he gets hurt again.

People are fickle. They forget the simple details -- 14 month layoff, two major knee surgeries still healing, Federer playing with little match practice being almost 40. He still made the quarters, and he can obviously still play. it is a question of consistency, and whether he wants to play and put in the work. He is not going anywhere right now. He will continue the comeback and carry it out the way he wants.

Dla mnie Roger Federer jest nr 1 w Tenisie i zawsze Nim pozostanie Jego gra kultura osobista osobowość to coś co dzisiaj zanika wśród młodych tenisistów a szkoda

But he was good in the last round; he looked almost exactly like his 2019 self

Last time Federer beat Novak in a grand slam match was almost a decade ago in SW 2012 semi. Just let it go already, Novak solved Fed long time ago in GS format, he owns him.

Which was his seeding terrific efforr

Not according to us open 2011- his true nature came out there

@@enzeetea “His true nature”. The guy has been in the circuit for 22 years. His rivals have voted him for the Sportsmanship Award a record 13 times. He says Djokovic hit a lucky shot on match point (which he did) in the 2011 US Open semifinal adding “I could have won this match just as he could have won in RG” (where he won in 4 sets and Djokovic never had match point) and that disqualifies him as a the ultimate tennis gentleman? Sure thing.

@@juanantoniozuleta6575 Still think it's a lucky shot when he has literally done a thousand returns like that in his career. There's a reason why people say he is best returner in the game. How delusional can fedfans be lmao

That's an impressive thing here, answering questions in detail when he really wants to go take a nap and maybe a good cry.

why ? what about others ? let happiness be in some other camp as well. lol .

Unfortunatally i feel so sad today i think first time feel sad for roger ... 💔💔💔

Me too... same with Rafa too. Semi finals RG interview was rough

True champions and legend the one who make a new history.. is Nole

He's become a legend over time, he was not always a legend, legendary status is a process, something only a few ever obtain.

Legend yes... but nothing about GOAT position

Nole has the highest rangking point number 1 in tennis history nearly 17 K Nadal 15 K n roger 11 K ?? Which one better ??

Well people who have never put their foot on tennis court have opinion about RF. Let’s appreciate the fact that he is still playing at the age of 39. RF fan forever. He is a GOAT forever!!

why it will be hard for 20 ? Felix did it. Federer was lucky not to be out in round 1.

@@Liberty55555 what happened to FAA in the past?

He is redefining the possibilities. A great champion. He loves the game, and he is showing it by putting in the work to return at the top level. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2qxgjGpKqoQ.html

@@Liberty55555 He had the easiest draw I have ever seen. Mannarino would have beat him in the 1st round.

He should retire! He is a shame for tennis. He is done.

Absolutely right. That is one of the main reasons I’ve followed his career: he is an inspiration.

my theory too, well summised,

Well said. Deluded to think he will close gap on Djokovic at 40

Great analysis! Footwork was the case, and noticeable from the Norrie contest onwards. Body and mind are fading away.

So sad but it’s true

Agreed! He said it himself, he needs to be in better shape. Good comment. Some people just can’t face reality. It’s the cult of personality.

yes, he's just warming up now.. he's not playing as usual level, lots of mistakes.. I think he's not done and going back up to his usual game

Ditto, he is sch a class act and will be loved forever

The only reason he made it to quarter s is because he had no top 10 players, and guys from Wimbledon did everything to make it easy for him, there's article about how he gets central court for all games, yet Novak n.1 and Medvedev n.2 different courts,how bias they are, yet he cannot win anymore, accept it, and maybe time for him to retire. He was lucky he didn't have players ranked 2, 3,4 or he would be out in second round...

It was an impressive performance but was also definitely more than a ‘bad day’. Roger hasn’t lost a set 6-0 at Wimbledon in the entirety of his career, and he hasn’t lost in straight sets at Wimby since 2001 iirc. Imo this was definitely more to do with him not having played enough matches prior to the tournament (as many others have pointed out). But to say it was just a bad day just like other players can have? I don’t think so. Anyway, Roger can bounce back. Looking forward to seeing him hopefully play a busy year of tennis in preparation for next summer.

@@ronjotner8068 He gets placed on Center because he draws the biggest crowd & gets the most viewership. It’s not about ranking it’s about revenue. As for not playing the top 4 seeds earlier, he was seeded 6. It’s LITERALLY impossible for the top 8 seeds to meet before the QF.

@@tyrionlannister2440 He doesn't care about your stats

@@strikerbowls791 it doesn’t make the stats any less true 👍🏻

He will for sure,I have that feeling ❤️💪

it was a great, very impressive run.

Yea Roger don’t want to get injured again it would be even harder to come back from that

@@pencilcheck true!

That is soo true man!! Djokovic undoubtedly is a great player but federer is something else. He plays effortless and it is beautiful to watch. He has elegance, great hand skills , a perfect and precise serve and forehand and in addition to that also great volley and ball placement skills that no other player ever had!! We must acknowledge one fact . Federer dominated from 2000 to 2010 by defeating and dominating the top 5 players of that time like Pete Sampras or lleyton Hewitt or even Roddick and won against them several times. Just like that djokivic also dominated from 2011 to 2020 and still on by defeating and dominating the top players. So basically both of them have done the same thing just in different decades . I would say both of then are the goats and that choosing a single player as goat us simply nor right. And yeah of course even rafa deserves to be called goat . So my question is why do people want only one goat??? Why not all of them???
