Roger Federer - Top 10 INSANE Defensive Points Past His PRIME! 

Insanely gifted, always aggressive, most complete player ever, etc etc...THE GOAT❤

Tennis is incomplete without you Roger🎉miss you

I'd consider 2012 still his prime. He got back to number 1 when the big 4 were at their very best.

Love it! I miss watching him play! ☺️

the greatest of all time

I could watch these videos all day lol. Roger is just out of this world!

Real 🐐

Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤

A joy to watch ❤

Heart in mouth time, very thrilling rallies. I love to see how the crowd loves him and rises to him, makes me feel happy! Thank you.

The majority of points here are from 2011-2012 season which many people still consider as his prime years (myself too). His peak was obviously during 2004-2007 stretch, but his prime is probably 2003-2012. That is one of the reasons why up until 2012 his matches against Novak were still very competetive, very tight. Federer was still able to keep up physically with Novak. After 2012 he massively declined and he was not able to defend well. It is not coincidence that we have maybe 2-3 clips after 2012 season in this video. His 2013 season was bad because of his back problems. He was able to rejuvenate his career by changing his racket in 2014 and putting even more aggressive playstyle than in the past years. But as i said he was the shadow of himself in terms of defending.

GOAT. Any shot at any time from anywhere on the court. And his footwork and balance are always immaculately insane.

RF was so underrated on defense

Federer's defence was so underrated.. But it was one his best abilities in his skill list...👍🏻 To win 20 Grand Slams and world No. 1 for nearly 6 Yrs.. You need power, speed, stamina and mental focus.. ..👍🏻 G. O. A. T...🎾 👍🏻 😃 😁 😎

Many people forget that Federer actually pulled off the single greatest defensive get of all time, in Doha against Agassi in 2005.

A prime is a continuous period of time where both physical and technical abilities were at their best, and improving. Besides it, you can have several peaks of form, including within the prime period. Federer had a clear established prime since Masters Cup 2003 until the Masters Cup 2007, and he also peaked a lot of times like in Australia 2010, RG 2011, Wimbledon 2015, early 2017 etc.

It doesn't matter how many slams other tennis players will get... Federer is and will be always the best and the most elegant player of all times!!!

Your videos are a blessing ❤

You missed AO2017 vs.Rafa with 29 shots. That's amazing year.

And... basically he is SUPER fit isn't he, determined to field everything, and super fast getting to the sides of the court, whether from a central position, or from the opposite side. Looks sometimes as if he's on springs.

❤❤❤🐐♥️♥️♥️

Man, 2002 fed hasn't won a Slam, ppl already calling him the most complete player ever. I remember reading those on newspaper. Time flies

7:17 Davydenko looked like a random Rusian guy poisoned with Polonio 204 xD. But he was very good player...

Miss you Roger🥹❤❤❤

The shot at 5:04 - where does it come from? The guy has the most unusual adaptations, for anything and everything.

Hey Raz, which tournament/period do you consider as the end of prime Fed? AO 2010?

I really miss the great time of Federer & Nadal

“Past his prime” in 2011 when he wasn’t even 30 yet is sad asf😭 no it’s just that djokovic and nadal are better than him, and they reached their primes around that time so he started getting beat a lot

❤

SADLY MISSED SINCE HE RETIRED...

Correct Title would be "Roger Federer - Top 10 INSANE Defensive Points BETWEEN His PRIMES!

Roger is the GOAT. Expert at controlling crowds. And shutting them up when he decides.

Makes me laugh - & cry - when ppl go on about the superior defensive skills of certain current top players.

In mu view best player ever

Definitely not past his prime. I'd put when he started tinkering with the bigger head sizes as near the end / the start of after his prime. Throughout these videos he still has amazing racket head speed and footwork

Roger is proof that you don’t need to make noise to win. Some of those grunts on the tour are distracting and over the top.

The days where players didn’t have on court coaching which has really ruined the game , the player has to figure it out himself which some of the current current seem to find very difficult for some reason. Just waiting for a new rule which allows the player to leave the court while the coach plays a set for them? The game was perfect to start with and yet some Muppets seem to think it should be messed with.

Quick court and Federer in form, you are silly if you look for something better!

PS : TENNIS IS SHIT NOW WITHOUT ROGER AND RAFA🐐🐐💖💖🙏🙏

how im tryna be 5:15

Look at all these comments attacking Raz for claiming 2011 was past prime for federer. Chill guys , we all know Federer’s prime was only during the weak era of 2003-2009

6:20 it was brilliant, the true goat!!

Nice

A better defending than Davydenko's is virtually impossible - and then came Roger

most talented major winner

"How did he win that point!!??" - How many times did we hear that, forget to breathe and jump out of the chair! Miss you Roger 🙂

Fed was excellent at everything! His defense and return of serve are probably underrated.

No matter the slams. Federer, King of tennis elegance

federer has best backhand defense ever, when he slices the ball it brings down opponent to half volley and fed can immediately turn into offense.

wow what a video, roddick said federer is best attacking and best defensive player at the same time.

Raz Ols love you ❤❤❤

PUT IT THIS WAY ..... ROGER FEDERER IS FOR TENNIS ....WHAT O; REY ..PELE WAS FOR FOOTBALL ....BOTH SIMPLY THE BEST EVER ! 🐐🐐💖💖🙏🙏

I see so many videos abt Federer's crazy points. A lot that no one can compare. Djokovic is the most successful in records. But Fed the most talented.

Federer's pursuit of total greatness was really not only halted by Nadal or Djokovic but also significantly by Del Potro. US Open 2009, Tour Finals 2009, French Open 2012, Basel 2012&13, US Open 2017.

Was this normal speed or what ? 😂😂😂

GOAT❤️🌹💐🌺🌸🙏

Beautiful.

How is the point in the Indian Wells final in 2015 (or 2014, it was one of them) against Djokovic not in this top 10...it was unreal

At some point, Joker came to fully realize that his overheads had to be a bit more offensive. Still, he hits them back into play.

Notice that not many of these points are at 6-3 5-1 up. In many occasions he’s down a set or tied and digging deep.

Great video as always, but where is the point against wawrinka in ao 2017🥺

I love it when Rger beats this lanky clumsy string bean
