Top 5 Times Roger Federer Destroyed His Opponents ● Making Grown Men Cry (Probably) 

The fact that he ddn't even celebrate makes it good, because maybe he's thinking in what the opponent is feeling at the momment,

In full flow there has never been anyone even close...Nick was right when he said you just feel helpless...the demolition was ruthless and those who think Federer was still in his prime past 2009...well look at the difference in the power and movement...the only reason he was still a competitor was because his prime was just miles above anyone else...

Tennis God. Period.

There has never been and there will never be another who plays tennis with this level of brilliance and genius. I think the GOAT debate is meaningless, but for sheer joy in watching something that is this beautiful, this astonishing, Federer is in a class of his own. And I agree with HeisenbergR’s thoughtful comment below. The beauty includes his comportment during and after matches (with v rare exceptions). Went to Indian Wells and saw Federer many times. I stayed after every match, all of which included at a minimum quite a number of moments of this caliber of play, but I stayed to see him sign anything and everything that any child who came down to the courtside asked him to sign. Adults, too, but the emphasis by far was on kids. Very few others saw this, so if it was for PR (other than in a very literal sense of “relations”), it’s hard to see how. Just another special aspect of his greatness.

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

Miss this kind of tennis

greatest athlete of all time. you have other geniuses like messi and jordan but Rogers class is on a different planet. I am 32y and ive never seen anything like that, and I doubt I ever will.

Roger ❤

This match in Halle shows what is a real grass court, not like the joke nowadays called Wimbledon.

Just the best ever as far as I’m concerned. Glorious to watch.

just the Best Tennis Player ever ❤️

Beautiful players. When I see Medvedev or Sinner play, I realize I don't enjoy watching tennis that much anymore. Big shots to the right, big shots to the left. Rinse and repeat. No thanks.

GOAT

Federer’s backhand is the most beautiful thing in the world.

This man in his prime years was the best player to ever play the game ,and what made him the greatest was that he lost like a gentleman and one like a gentleman champion a class act beyond beyond Roger you are the greatest ever I don’t care what anyone says I dare to defy anyone to watch this video how wonderful and entertaining it was to watch you do what millions of people do but nobody did it better than you and nobody ever will ?………. The defense rests its case……..

I've said it elsewhere. I'll say it here again.: When RF is "in the zone" he could probably take on any two opponents TOGETHER, and win! He was a once-in-a-lifetime player.

Federer's inside-in forehand should be the 8th wonder of the world

Great video man!

This was 2011 peak djokovic man! Grandpa Federer destroyed him man!!

6:0 6:0 in the quarterfinal is insane!

Tennis heaven, can't say better than elgar104, elegant and brutal is dead right. So fascinating to watch his construction of points up to the killer stroke, and also the increase in daring after he's got the measure of an opponent.

1:46 that's a top spin dropshot!

That federer vs zverev match😳😳

Difficult and attacking tennis, made easy. That's the best thing, he always won matches by his own merit. The fluidity, the easiness, the options in his game, the quick footwork, dancing like a gazelle across the court. Pure instinctive talent, leaving people in awe of his tennis capability.

4k looking great!

By far the best tennis player and most elegant tennis player ever. However, Djokovic is the most successful player ever.

Roger indoors in the O2 Arena. Just stay home boys.

I particularly decided to play this video for the wristband in the thumbnail. Because I didn't recall when he wore that outfit. Miss watching my king play tennis 😢 but love him foreverer ❤

Superb stuff! Thank you for this. :) A question: who's the commentator for the Gaudio match? I've always liked his transatlantic (?) accent and his commentary.

the best looking 20 slam winner ever, the cool way he looks when walking away from a winning shot

Roger giving out free donuts to his opponents is so humbling.😂

No one else could make anyone they faced feel powerless even if they were playing their best. Peak Federer is peak tennis.

The most glorious athlete I'll ever see. Beautiful elegant and brutal.

🐐🐐🐐

Calling Kyrgios a grown man is a bit of a stretch 😂

Wow 🤩 ❤❤❤

Federer's precision and pace made him a monster of monsters in fast indoor courts, too bad his best surfaces (fast indoor and grass) were among the rarest on tour.

Fookin executed prime Djokovic like he was nothing , Prime Fed was absolutely unplayable .

He was so superior to the rest... And even that, maybe the score was 6-3 or 6-4, but you always felt that he was in full control of the game. It's like scores and numbers can't express his level.

Extremely tennis, one of the best 👌

Federer really tennis God

Federer is tennis🎾 Tennis is Federer

Adjustments at 5:20 are mind-blowing

The greatest player to ever set foot on a tennis court

You would think that thrashing he gave Murray that there head to head would be lopsided, but Murray actually gave him a run for his money on most matches and kept their rivalry close. Matter of fact Andy was up at one time in their rivalry. Kind of crazy how some match ups are different.

2010 RF had 16, Nadal had 6 & Djoko had 1. that's where RF started giving his time to family and not caring about records anymore thinking no one will surpass him. 2011 to 2019 he was below avg as per his standard.

4 of 5 times were at atp finals, so against one of the best 8 players of the world those years. But if it isn’t enough, 3 of these 4 times were against djokovic, nadal and murray… and if anybody needs to remind it, don’t worry, djokovic also received a 6-0 treatment from Roger in Cincinnati final 2012… do you need something else to learn anything about GREATNESS? Because I grew up learning from him live and I miss him and dreaming because of him too much

Watching on TV doesn't really make you feel how much pressure it's like playing against a fast-paced playing player like Roger. It's tough, indeed.

As my old tennis teacher always said.... is the whipping motion that u need to hit a forehand.

Roger won easily against everyone in World Tour Finals except for Michael Zverev (Halle) and without giving break points or getting broken except for Djokovic.

Senhores! Roger, um cidadão, um cavalheiro, um deus se divertindo na quadra na quadra de tênis!

At his peak - Federer was an unstoppable bulldozer crushing all opponents in his path and making their life on court miserable.

Yesterday just bought Roger L🎾VE Peace For All t shirt 😊

It's as if half the time he's not even playing tennis. Some other game, like a hybrid of badminton and tennis. Or "just" some way of playing tennis that no-one else has worked out.

Really , I miss the magic of the One: RF

I think you chose the wrong Halle Zverev match. Mischa was a journeyman player so him getting double bageled by Roger was not exactly a shocker. You should have chosen the 2017 finals thumping of Sascha. He was so rolled that in the press conference after the match he whined, "Roger as messin' with the ball." LOL!

2nd Goat

two words for rogers tennis ,,,,,swiss precision

In Gaudio's defense, he was sleep deprived because his girlfriend fought with him the night before the match.

Federer backhand was lethal.

Roger was the G.O.A.T.!!

Murray thanked Fed for the giving him one game in front of his home crowd.

When federer plays great, he makes even the statistical GOAT l, novak, look stupid man.!

fedsquash is 10 losses and 4 wins in GS FINALS!! More failure

LEGEND Federer!!!!!!!

2010 Federer was how prime Federer would hit shots. Only difference is Novak wouldn’t gotten his racket on the ball. Also Novak has never destroyed federer. Where Federer has many times to Novak

The admin of the game

No man match his class ever

I wouldn’t say I’m a conspiracy theorist but it seems pretty easy to imagine the NCAA has/had a significant interest in having the Caitlyn Clark story continue. I was pulling for Iowa but that was a terrible call to make; especially at that point in the game.

Roger lässt Djokovic wie einen blutigen Anfänger aussehen, einfach Krass!

My personal favourite was the one against Kyrgios.

That game in second set vs Murray looks like he deliberately gave it to him

Almost had peak Murray 6-0 6-0, Rogers A game is second to none except for clay court, what he lacked was his consistency. He could bagel the best of players and on other days he will lose to a wildcard. This is where joker and nadal excelled.

Well. Like many talented players in his prime . But not for too, long because Nad. & Dj will come better.

At his best, he was simply unbeatable. Except against Nadal on clay.

You forgot the 2014 Shanghai Masters against Leonardo Mayer where Roger came back from 5 match points down to beat Mayer and made him cry at the handshake.

So much for Djokovic fans "weak era"

Damn I miss Roger

3rd match double bagel : Federer impressive vs Zverev depressive 😆

much better than alcaraz because brute strength helps him the most no matter how much variety he has. dimitrov is the only other player who can play tennis like federer.

FED tennis GOD

Believe me, it pretty much felt like Federer let Murray win 1 game on purpose. He just wanted to give him at least a game I guess. Like Novak gave Mannarino a game in AO 2024

2012 cincinatti between Novak was also a beatdown.

fed only beat ndal; 2 times on clay and never at french and only when nadal career just started 08/09...Djoki beat nadal 8 times on clay , 2 times at french and beat nadal at his peak age 25-27 multiple times

I have t he feeling (no inside info) that Federer like to put on a good show for the crowd and, if an opponent cooperates, he can join in the project and the Fed will take it easy. HOWEVER, once he takes it a bit easy, the opponents think, "Oh, I think I see a weakness and I'can overpower him! Oops. Maybe not.

He's the goat

Which one of them cried?

To say that Murray made it the big 4 is nonsense

😎

fed was god level in 05

Nem lehet megunni :)

As a Djokovic fan, I miss Federer on tour nowadays

why did federer bother with 2017 if he was just gonna mess up 2018 and 2019.

fed only won 33% of his GS mataches against nadal/djoki that is failure,,Fed was weak mentally because his focus was selling watches and running shoes...Fed had a weak backhand too

Fedrer is goat

Fully attacking player not returner

Federer is the GOAT. Novak destroyed tennis

50 50 game

I'm surprised Roger won the first match against Novak and the second match against Rafa so easily, if at all. His groundstrokes didn't seem to land very deep in the court and weren't hit with much pace. I would have figured that Novak and Rafa would have pounced.

Federer has been destroyed by Djokovic and Nadal.
