The Day Federer Destroyed Berrettini | Wimbledon 2019 (HD) 

That's what Kyrgios always says. How peak Federer would make you feel really bad about yourself and your game.

2019 is the last normal year. then you know what happened.

Feels like one of those things that was just meant to happen so we never forget it.

For many Federer fans, the 2011 US Open semis, and the '19 Wimbledon final, especially the latter, will always be matches that Roger should have simply won- period! There have been others, for sure: The '05 AO semis loss to Safin! The '08 Wimbledon final loss to Nadal! The '09 AO final loss to Nadal! The '09 USO final loss to Delpo! The '10 USO semis loss to Djoker! The '11 FO final loss to Nadal! The '18 Wimbledon QF loss to Anderson!...But none of these quite burns like the other 2! The '19 match, though, was a final, in which his 9th Wimbledon title was there for the taking! You could taste it! It seemed almost a given; he played well enough to earn it, had beaten Rafa in the semis, and closing the deal on his 21st GS, at almost 38, appeared almost as a scripted dream!...Then,...the bottom just gave way!... The dream suddenly revealed itself to be a disguised and ever present nightmare! Brutal!

that loss still hurts

True. I still believe Federer in Wimbledon 2019 is the best level of grass tennis played since, well, since Federer 2012.

don't know about short balls but he certainly exposed Berettinis' lack of foot speed. It was like a cheetah playing a tree

That's why he's the greatest.

There's a thing called development/growth on surface over the years. Berretini was a different player at 2021 Wimbledon compared to 2019.

Later in the final Djokovic played one of his worst final in last 10 years & still won..........Level!!!!!😂😂😂

Berretini has a tremendous backhand slice in 2021. At this match, he was horrendous from that side.

@@emilianososa2079 Doesn't matter. Djokovic stays low and executes his backhand return against slice on the grass surface better than any other player on the tour. Wouldn't have made a different, to be honest.

And yet Djokovic still beat fed in 2019

yeah the lucky djokovic didn't deserve to win that final match at all

Federer found this level in the final. It just wasn't good enough to beat Novak.

@@TheseHoesAreLoyal And then flopped at all the critical moments. He was 2 points from winning the first set I think like 5 times. Set point on the 3rd, MP in the 5th and still lost. He had so many other opportunities besides the match points in the 5th set. Did not use his opportunities vs Novak. But he did vs Matteo. 6/7 on BP and match over in under 75 minutes. One comment joked Roger had a table booked for 7.30pm (the match ended at 7.10pm)

@@J_NoNamesLeft73 Yup, not failing to convert break chance opportunities is also an indicator of a player's skill. Clearly Federer's mental game against Djokovic fails misreably, and that's a huge part of the game.

​@@TheseHoesAreLoyal not only against Novak, against Nadal and bunch of others as well. As great as Federer was, maybe even the greatest purely based on racketskills, he was prone to choking at times. Could have easily ended up with 25 slams under his belt.

@@SHVideografie "Could have easily ended up with 25 slams under his belt" That sort of thought is meaningless because "if" doesn't exist. Like I said, mental fortitude is a huge part of the game. Federer was good enough to win 20 majors, nothing more or less. Stop trying to ride his meat.

they like to keep the traditions

Federer destroyed Berrettini again after this.

Why? What did he do? He played great level of tennis but couldn't show it off. Federer chocked in the final while playing arguably better than him, but that doesn't take due merit away from Djokovic.

Covid 19 has left its mark

Then that means he is the best player ever

@@msaw504 exactly

The biggest Bullshit ever djokovic Level in 2015 was unreal his Level and the Level from nadal are better Then Federer your fake GOAT couldnt beat nadal in Roland Garros he will never be the GOAT if you cant beat your biggest rival in his best surface

He did give Nadal a bagel on clay

@@steinanderson9849 Who cares never beaten him on Roland Garros

You could do It too

Until he bottled it in the finals, worst memories for him, just needed ONE ACE- to seal the GOAT debate forever.

@@pauljohnson6019 you wish, wouldnt be enough Djokovic has won 3 matches in wimb and loss 1 against federer

@@CopR8r Even if Federer retired- after winning 9 Wimbledons, that would have been enough, at 37, nearly 38, but I doubt, Novak can do it at 37 now, let's see, this Wimbledon, should be interesting.

@@pauljohnson6019 yeah... unfortunately Nole really seems unmotivated now, i dont see him win any slams in 2024, but we never know

@@CopR8r Not only that, his opponents have more self belief, and don't s*** their pants, like they used to do before, making Nole feel more confident in his game, they're adapting, and learning from their mistakes.

Generation...Nadal and Djokovic are 4/5 years younger, that is generational gap in tennis. Federer did start in a (completely) different era when looking at courts, balls, rackets, techniques. Federer completely dismantled his own generation and kept the next one(s) including those other two at bay for another 15 years.

You are trying to be controversial but it won't work as everyone know Roger F is number 1 and the G O A T.

@@annewalden3795 lmaooooo whatever you guys have to tell yourselves!

40-15

@@stefanmuster2714 & who got the last laugh at the end of the year…? 🤔

Did he won ATP Final in 2019?

@@stefanmuster2714 He took him out in straight sets, preventing him from reaching the SF & finishing as YE No. 1 - his apology gift to Nadal for NOT letting him reach the Final at SW19 4 months ago!

So, Federer was playing just to beat Djokovic and to prevent him from finishing year as a No. 1? He is not playing to win tournament? Ok. Talking about last laugh, what was result of the last match they ever played against each other? That is real last laugh.

Lol even Hubbie the bomber owned Fed on grass😂 bageled him easily

@@fg92626 Because Fed was severely injured- literally playing on one leg.

😂Gehst richtig hart îns Gericht mit dem Rest! Die drei waren/sind einfach in einer eigenen Sphäre.
