The Most Brutal Attacking Tennis by Roger Federer 

He might not end up with the most Slams but when the reckoning comes no one has ever played the game in such a awesome looking way. Tennis perfection.

3:17 "He's got those reflexes like a mongoose on amphetamines." That's A+ quality praise there.

As a Rafa fan I must say i find Roger's tennis to be a supreme art. The most gifted tennis player ever. What a joy to watch man.

4 aces in a row now thats brutal

2:45 so brutal that he learned to teleport

Prime Federer was just masterful. His backhand is a thing of beauty just pure awesomeness.

I'm not into tennis but seeing Federer play is just amazing, you don't need to know much about tennis to see how great and legendary he is

4 aces... AGAINST DJOKAVIC!! No matter who surpasses his titles, he will forever be the goat in my eyes..the most beautiful tennis style to ever grace the courts!

As a complete amateur what fascinates me the most about him is his ability to start moving to where he needs to be directly after hitting the ball, since he already roughly knows the only few options his opponent can play it back to and that’s why he doesn’t have to run like a maniac and looks super chill.

This is the best tennis I've ever seen played. Graceful, powerful, dominant, and cerebral, all at once.

Federer...the most beautiful tennis ever....

Seeing this after a while of not seeing Roger really strikes hard that we don't see this tennis anymore, this tennis that I once thought standard, the tennis that so charmingly attracted my attention. It is with a really heavy heart that we are soon saying goodbye to it. Roger Federer hasn't been just a player. He's been a type of tennis that no one seems able to recreate anymore. That is Roger Federer.

This was Shanghai Masters 2014 semifinal for anyone wondering!

Game duration: 47 seconds Me: It's the time Rafa takes to serve

No matter how good or how many slams either Rafa or Nole end up with for me Federer is the absolute GOAT. I cant imagine me going on you tube to watch old matches from Nadal or Djokovic but I catch myself longing for old footage of Federer. What a joy to watch him in full flow. I've seen them all from the early 70's untill the present. The only other player I saw that had that genius spark was McEnroe. The rest of the champs all had a great games but nothing like Federer. I doubt if we will ever see something like him again.

Tennis has never been more beautiful to watch than when Federer is playing it. Poetry in motion, indeed. Sublime, just sublime. His playing transcends the game like no other player.

The way he played the game was so clean. So effective. Everything about his game was incredible. It just looks like art.

Good bye Roger. Thank you for giving us the good times and the bad times. You are the best I’ve seen and you showed my son and I how tennis should be played, with style and elegance. Through the Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Sampras, and Agassi days, I’ve seen it all. You are the GOAT by far

Notice how Federer hits almost every shot in different directions, and gradually comes forward as his opponent tries to move to the other side to hit the ball...so smart Federer!

I remember Federer saying something like "I used to get angry, but then I stopped when I only played worse because of it", it's like after that moment early in his career when he stopped being angry, it's like he found his inner self and could read the code of Tennis. It's like if not being angry is all it takes then I'll take it.

The most masterful fast court player of all time. Superbly elegant in all facets of the game, a consummate gentleman and professional, and a tremendous ambassador for tennis.

I've watched players from four decades performing at their peak. No one matches Federer's grace and agility when he was at his peak. He's a different League altogether.

It is an honor and pure joy to be watching Roger. He plays beautifully with class and grace. No one does it like Federer. GOAT!❤️💕

As Djokovic said after the match: "He played the perfect match.'" He did 👍

We need Federer to play like this again!!

The last comment 5:20 summed it up: "What a match, what performance, and the manner of the performance: An absolute joy to watch!" Indeed.

The best player in the history of tennis in his prime, and the most elegant one. His majesty!

When Federer was quicker...and the courts were faster. Absolute domination.

3:18 "he's got reflexes like a mongoose on amphetamines" LMAO

That Shanghai match was one of the greatest matches I’ve ever seen anyone play. Federer was god like that day.

@ 2:44, serves from the near side of the court and returns from the far side of the court. Magical. Only Federer can do that. GOAT.

Those forehands, backhands and 4 aces in a row 🔥 Novak expression is saying everything

I could fall asleep watching Djokovic play, but Federer is just a joy to watch. Grace, elegance, skill, agility, aggressiveness, range of attacking plays. He lives or dies by his attacking play, no amount of slow courts and boring defensive tennis will change that. I respect Nole, he is a machine at what he does, but Federer is pure art and the reason why tennis is a beautiful sport and for me no statistics will change my opinion that he is the greatest tennis player of all time.

pretty aggressive tennis, to make djokovic rushed is quite a task

Man, I'm still hurting over Wimbledon 2019. I have NEVER felt that bad about a sporting event result...never. If Djoker surpasses Roger on slam count, nothing will change my belief that Roger had the most beautiful game. The WAY he won was just so stunning, and something tells me he has a little more in the tank.

Federer’s prime would beat anyone else’s prime.

A fearless Federer is unbeatable Federer.

Wow, Now I realise why Fed will always be Remembered as the greatest most naturally fluid, exciting, technically excellent and agile tennis player of all time.

No one plays tennis better than Roger Federer. He is embodiment of perfection - serve, volley, backhand, cross court, lobs, etc., Unfortunately, Roger Federer can't get more Grandslams in his illustrious career!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

Federer on his day vs Nadal on his day vs Djokovic on his day, Federer wins for me, the way this guy plays tennis is like watching Michael Jordan play basketball ... both MJ and Fed are the reasons on why their respective sports are watched by millions ... pure masterclass!!

Djokovic took all that aggression with a smile and tried his best. Respect.

That net dominance omg. That’s why I love Fed

A man for whole seasons! While he still has the greatest record and has lost many games, still, if one wants to enjoy watching tennis, Federer is the man.

Personally I look at fed as the god of tennis, he plays so effort free just flowing over surface.

RF was poetry in motion. His game was not dominant in any arena except for the cerebral and finely tactile. In the sublime, he was a master.

4 aces in a row that too against the best return player... Surely brutal

Say what you like, but no one, absolutely no one, plays the game like Federer. Don’t care about grand slams, head to heads, weeks at number one, and all the stats in the 🐐 debate. For sheer brilliance, skills and talent Federer is in a class all his own. He may not be the 🐐 but he sure has the most brilliantly beautiful game, playing with such ease and finesse that is truly uniquely Federer. And he is successful with it. Throw in professionalism and commitment added to his natural ability, you get “tennis utopia”.

He's been a type of tennis that no one seems able to recreate anymore

When fed is in this mode, he's unbeatable.

This is one of the Feds best performance. Really Fed at his best was a Tennis monster

I’m sure that almost all players would agree that Roger is the best ever. The one handed style makes it look more like a game to played rather than a match to be won

I think his performance against Blake in the 2006 Tennis Master Cup final was brutal, especially his backhand down the line.

Roger is the Beethoven of tennis ❤️

This was a joy to watch again. I had almost forgotten how superb Roger was at his peak.❤❤

I don't care how many Grand Slams Rafa and Nole end up with, Roger is forever my GOAT.

I can’t not watch Federer playing without smiling and laughing at his ridiculous shots and how skilled he is. The maestro

…notwithstanding i am now a Nole fan…must admit(Roger)The most Beautiful and Best player of any era…idemo…Federer…long live that gifted and prodigious mind…eyes…hands and feet…synchrony…❤❤❤…

Fed was spectacular in this match

He is brutal when he gets going ..no match..delight to watch him ...❤️

Others might break Federer's record but they cannot perfect his play style...Such art

I'm liking this old school modified serve anf volley and chip charge...

Fed utterly locked in pure aggressive tennis on fast hard courts is such a treat to watch. Even the great Djokovic looked stunned by the end of it, as if thinking, "What the hell was that?!"

I still say I have never seen anyone who plays such beautiful tennis. To me he will always be the GOAT.

So satisfying to watch someone dismantle Djokovic like that. We'll never see a grandmaster like Federer again in our lives.

I came back here after Roger announced his retirement. We’re never gonna see him play against Rafa or Nole on the tour or in Grand Slams anymore and this clip is a pure gem to all fans🥹

He played with such purpose, too. There is a reason behind every single shot he plays. Like a grandmaster in chess, no wasted moves

This is what Djoker fans will never get: I don't care how many slams he wins or how many weeks n1 he has, he can and never will be at the same level as Federer. The joy to see him play tennis like it was designed to be played is indescribable. What an honour to witness this history making tennis player.

Federer - King of Tennis. What an idol on and off the court

Federer acing it 4 in a row, 2 in the corner, 2 straight on ..... the whole game took less time than Nadal's service preparation.

After months of watching the current top 10 this is so refreshing, it is just awesome to see Federer play. Others can win 30, 40, 50 grand slams, but this tennis will never exist again.

2017 Wimbledon final, 2017 Indian Wells and Miami Open was when Federer was at his pinnacle of his career

Wow he was fearless and so precise and beautiful, you'll never see more perfect play. Thank you.

I remember this match. Djokovic played so good and would've easily beaten anyone else, but Federer was just so attacking and he found the lines all the time.

cuando este hombre estuvo en su plenitud, reunía dos condiciones en su juego: belleza extrema y eficacia letal...

watching this while the AO final is happening with Djokovic and Stef. The serve and volley Federer used in Shanghai was outstandingly effective. His reflexes (like a mongoose on amphe...) are clear. Right there, at the net, cutting down the speed. PLUS, his serves explode right off the bounce -- Djoker could not even touch most of them. Damn, Roj. You slayed him.

Finish the game in 46 seconds just a insane...Nadal take 1 minute for serve..

One of the most dominating performance by RF I have ever seen. Reminded me of his dominance against Lleyton Hewitt in the USO2004 final, especially the 1st and 3rd sets. This one against the best tennis player on tour in the last decade.

As a Djokovic fan I have to admit that the flow and talent in Federer's game is unmatched.

And that's why I say, he was, is and will be the GOAT forever. No matter who wins how many grand slams till the end. He will be the greatest ever, period!

You should watch Federer vs Djokovic, French Open SF in which Fed stopped the 43 match unbeaten run of Djoker. Another example of most attacking tennis, this time on Clay and in a GS tournament.

Legendary. I watched all the slams back in the 2000,s with a majority of Federer and Nadal.Best tennis rivalry ever.his grace and style on and off the court true g.o.a.t.

I needed this after today's semi-final, thank you youtube algorithm :')

This semi finals highlight reel of 2014 ( when Novak #1 seed) shows the Serve n Volley tactic interspersed brilliantly. It maybe be somewhat dormant right (still used sparingly) now but if the courts surface speeds up a wee bit...it will be wonderful for the FULL tactics of the game.

Roger is pure talent and mad laborious strength going with it.

That was amazing! Winning a game in 4 aces, that was a mental kick to Nole... He tried to break his mind with a clear message: "I can beat you every time I want"

Omg, how much I wish he could play like this to win one more Us open... each day more unlikely.

Never seen him play live.. really hope he returns and makes a run💯🙏🏽

Why didnt u do this in wimbledon 2019???? Whyyyyyyyyyyy 😭😭 u goat roger

2:46 he served from bottom and teleported to finish the point from the top!!?? This guy is unreal!!

I remember watching him live at the French Open, probably 15 years ago, about. Quarter Final, Center court, against the 8th ranked player in the world at the time, can’t remember his name unfortunately. Federer just served, ace. Served, ace. Served, volley. Served, the opponent put it in the net. That game lasted a minute and a half or so. He then proceeded to send a ball to the young dude in charge of carrying them on the other side of the court. Federer was thinking and focusing, looking down towards the ground, when he hit that ball with his racket. That ball arrived in the young guy’s hand perfectly. He didn’t have to move. Roger hadn’t even looked at were he had thrown that ball. I was a young teenager back then, and will remember this very moment my entire life. The worst thing is: It always looked so classy and effortless… Making it look easy…

The definition of GOD MODE !!!!

This is what happens when you have different court speeds. They've slowed this tournament and all of the others down extensively which is sickening, because there should be courts of all speeds, not just slow courts for baseliners. You should be able to rush them, plus it produces variety.

This is roger in his best surface. His beautiful game shines when the courts are slick and fast. Not the mess they are now with tourney organizers wanting the never ending death rallies.

Nunca más un tenis como el de Roger Federer. Simplemente The best

No one can beat RF.. stylish game although Rafa djoko can beat his records.. but Roger 👌

best tennis i ve ever seen. the GOAT.

At this time of our life we really understand how lucky we have been to witness such a player.

Federer -poetry in motion.

What a demonstration of the art of tennis! Roger, I will miss you forever!

What a performance by Federer😍😘❤️ It's Amazing😍😍
