I have been a tennis fan for most of my 62 years. I have seen and greatly admired some legendary players; Laver, Borg, Connors, McEnroe, Becker, Sampras, Nadal & Djokovic. However, IMHO there has never been any human being who picked up a racquet as majestic, graceful, charismatic and as great as Roger Federer. He is, to me, the greatest sportsman who has ever lived. I feel honoured to have lived in the time of Federer.
Yeah, could watch him all day. He won't be remembered as the guy who won the most but he will be remembered as they guy that took our breath away the most...
Federer may not hold the record for the number of slams won etc but he is still the GOAT for one simple reason. He played the game on a different level to everyone else. Enjoy your retirement Sir.
Agreed!! There will never be another Federer!!! Skill with grace, elegance, and savagery when needed. No other tennis player is as enjoyable to watch...waving his magic Wilson wand as they say!!!!!
Why to bring the number of titles in conversation? For you he is the GOAT, that's it.. Nobody in the world will argue that anybody ever played more visually pleasing game on court but we have to respect the Djokovic's mental strength and Nadal's physical abilities as well. For me no one is GOAT, they all have their flair and they excelled at that. Got one up on each other, had some crucial moments, sometimes one handled the pressure better at critical stages than the other. Injuries at wrong time, mental baggage on a particular day can change the debate. Sitting outside and getting into debate is an easy task.
Same about watching, but beein tennis fan since 1980. I remember that crazy tie break in the wimbledon final between Borg and McEnroe, cheering for Borg in front our still black and white TV
I never get bored watching Federer highlights from mid 2000's. What a beast he was. People usually describe him as a shotmaker and natural talent and so on. He was also a magical athlete, strong and fast. I have to put Djoko as the best ever considering everything, but I firmly believe that prime Federer was the best version of a tennis player we have ever seen. His A-game back in the days was out of this world.
A Fed fan . We should respect Joker because after all said and done. He has achieved it on paper. Joker the GOAT FED the BOAT( BEST OF ALL TIME) NADAL is both GOAT AND BOAT but only on clay
@@MrRajesh8897 I do not respect Novak. Just a couple of days ago he suggested he had lost an important match because of a wrist injury .Can you imagine Roger Federer being crass enough to say such a thing ?
Federer will always be my favorite not just for the brilliant talent but his class and character. Always showed respect for officials and opponents. Very gracious and accommodating with the media. I consider myself lucky to have enjoyed his legendary career.
The most beautiful tennis player to ever play the game. Genius, artist and the best in every aspects. He is Roger Federer. He always comes out with magic and miracles. He is the greatest.
The last one against Daveydanko is my all-time favorite. That's called Roger's Liquid Whip. Breathtaking! Next would be at the net against Nadal at the French Open. Electrifying! Thanks for posting. These were great!
the most beautiful to watch and the greatest creator of magical points. As others said he may not have the most slams but his inventiveness and attacking play puts him ahead of the 'other two' in my eyes who built their careers mainly on defence.
In recent times, professional tennis may have produced more efficacious machines, but none more soulful than Federer. Many will be remembered by their numbers, few by their genius. What his poetry makes you feel in awe is unmatched.
He won a lot of his matches by being in utter control, outplaying his opponents and having time left for some magical improvisations. Djokovic and Nadal have the grit and tenacity, but Federer left spectators with jaws wide open.
There are many greats in sports, but certain athletes are a notch above the rest, athletes that define a generation and will continue to inspire long after their careers end. Federer in tennis, Tiger in golf, Messi in football. etc.
this actually shows how dedicated he was in his shot making. 99.5% of all other tennis players would not attempt a shot that goes around the net instead of over it
I have NO IDEA what past good karma the rest of us tennis fans did in our previous lives ….but surely we must all have done something unbelievably good…..how else can one explain that we all got to see Federer, Rafa and Novak all competing against each other in the same window of approx. 15 years….and I am not evening counting Andy and Stan W in the mix. 2005-20 - the Magic Years for all Tennis fans…….bar no other period
Two things (1) it’s easy to forget that the most graceful of players also ran MILES to chase the ball down. Doesn’t matter how great your touch, you still have to WORK (2) it takes two great players to make a great point. Roger only has to play these amazing shots because he is playing against great opponents. The standard of tennis at the top is incredibly high.
when the world still believed he was going to be the greatest ever. well, he still played the most beautiful tennis ever, looked the greatest, was the greatest sportsman, the real poster child.
The master of volleys, the king of foreband, the Lord of tweeners who didn't necessarily need to look in direction of the shot to make it go right One and only.... Roger Federer
But he will be remembered as a man who won the most at one time records were meant to be broken but ladies and gentlemen my Roger will never be forgotten enough said!!!!!!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Es en esa final de Roland Garros que le da una paliza increíble en el primer set a Nadal, que se va al vestuario y lo saca de partido. Le hizo un montón de esas escenas en ese periodo y el "bueno" de Roger nunca un gesto de enojo, sabiendo que se lo hacía para desconectarlo de su zona.
there was a time, when federer seemed to have a special contract with the laws of physics, allowing him to do things that no one else can do. pure magic.
it's remarkable that with all the fantastic amazing shots Federer did you still had to include 2 where opponents mis hit the ball and one where it was a simple shot a 10 year old could make as opponent was too far away to hit it. That's 3 moments of brilliance we missed out on.
Do you lack the license to show any Wimbledon highlights or something? That's probably where most of his best shots were. The top one that comes to mind was around 2008 facing set point against Nadal and Roger smoked a perfect backhand passing shot down the line.
A minute in and literally zero of those shots were close to "nobody would believe if not filmed".... Continuing on, and.... hell, I've done most of those when I was a junior tennis player. In fact, if these are so good nobody would believe if not filmed, then you wouldn't believe some of the shots I've made when I was a tennis player...... I was actually expecting some crazier/more impressive shots than these. The shots between the legs, or the spinning forehand early on, yeah, I get those being there, but honestly they're relatively common these days. Trick shots sure, but nothing befitting the title...... I mean, I once hit a shot that hit the tape of the net, rolled almost half of the length of the net across the top of the tape before rolling over the other side and landing in. THAT is the kind of shot nobody would believe if it wasn't filmed. Hell, I DID that and scarcely believe it. Gotta say, a little disappointed that they're just good tennis shots or good tennis in general as opposed to whatever the title made it out to be. That shot at 4mins, my coach literally taught me that shot, but better, landing much closer to the net. So close in fact I hit it against someone who bragged about his ranking in the state and he stood their stunned in disbelief for 3 seconds, before cheating and calling it out as junior tennis you umpire your own side of the court, at least that's how it was in pretty much all tournaments as a junior here. It's difficult, but hardly a shot nobody would believe, especially not someone who's actually played at a high level.
Young Federer would beat current Sinner. Federer would consistently absorb Sinner’s powerful groundstrokes and render them futile with his finesse shots and dynamic play style, discouraging Sinner to the point of learned helplessness that he simply cannot win even with his consistently overpowered shots. Too bad Med wasn’t a Federer. Federer truly is the ‘Greatest Tennis Player Of All Time And History And Always Will Be (aka The “GTPOATAHAAWB”).
Stealing titles and ideas from everyone. Raz Ols already made this exact same title and his video you can actually see the ball so. Also, learn how to spell to "Believe" LOL

No grunting, no attitude, just class. I have hardly watched tennis since he retired. Been a tennis fan since 1991.
his celebration though is almost Diego Simeone like ;) 1:31
Same about watching, but beein tennis fan since 1980. I remember that crazy tie break in the wimbledon final between Borg and McEnroe, cheering for Borg in front our still black and white TV
Haven't watched a single match since he got hurt. There has never been a more talented player or one that was such a pleasure to watch.

@@maddoxmortenson8009that’s so true
@@maddoxmortenson8009 I can only agree .The Joker is not worth watching .
A Fed fan .
We should respect Joker because after all said and done. He has achieved it on paper.

FED the BOAT( BEST OF ALL TIME)
NADAL is both GOAT AND BOAT but only on clay

if only the US Open courts moved that fast the last 10-15 years, would have probably seen 1-2 more titles from Fed
Thats probably when that forehand was at its whippiest lol
I miss his finesse more than ever He was the epitome of charisma which may be unmatched for many decades if ever.
the most beautiful to watch and the greatest creator of magical points. As others said he may not have the most slams but his inventiveness and attacking play puts him ahead of the 'other two' in my eyes who built their careers mainly on defence.
Greatest sportsman of all time. He's my tennis GOAT!
In recent times, professional tennis may have produced more efficacious machines, but none more soulful than Federer. Many will be remembered by their numbers, few by their genius. What his poetry makes you feel in awe is unmatched.
I love it when Federer is impressed by his own genius.
Ladies and gentlemen Roger Federer the number one tennis player in the world!!!!😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😮
Federer is so good his touch is so good
어찌 저리 간결하면서도 쉽고 가볍고 강렬한
샷을 우아한 포즈로 창출하는지ᆢ
세상에 다시없을 테니스의 황제답습니다♡
Amazing artistry. Will be sorely missed.
This is the most amazing 4:43 all smiles on his way to an other incredible point.
Hands down the goat. He made the game look easy.
Love RF! The greatest! Art in motion..
What a champion he was! These are probably 20 out of 2000 great shots.
Watching him sometimes felt like watching destiny. He was just fated to win and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
The great entertainer and ambassador! Loved the games he played with the ball kids as well.
Beautiful.
He won a lot of his matches by being in utter control, outplaying his opponents and having time left for some magical improvisations.
Djokovic and Nadal have the grit and tenacity, but Federer left spectators with jaws wide open.
Great selection!
El Rey del Tenis. Ningún deportista me ha emocionado tanto como Su Majestad por quien quedé despierta madrugadas psra verlo jugar ❤
No one played with the skill as Federer
The world ❤ you
We can only hope one of his kids follow in his footsteps
I like how Federer is silent and always beats the grunters!! Well done sir.
There are many greats in sports, but certain athletes are a notch above the rest, athletes that define a generation and will continue to inspire long after their careers end. Federer in tennis, Tiger in golf, Messi in football. etc.
Michael Schumacher in F1.
No ooing or aaing from Roger, just MAGIC!
Roger Federer and Stefan Edberg are the most elegant player of all time irrespective of titles.People will remember them.
Sehr sympathisch! Well done und weiter so !
The GOAT. No question.
FEDERER WAS A WIZZARD! He changed tennis for ever and the rest followed his examples....❤
Since he retired, I must admit tennis is no longer the same 😢
Federer may be the only player for whom the crowd could be heard cheering more than his opponent, even when playing in his opponent's country...
this actually shows how dedicated he was in his shot making. 99.5% of all other tennis players would not attempt a shot that goes around the net instead of over it

2005-20 - the Magic Years for all Tennis fans…….bar no other period
Everytime I watch a Fed highight vid I remember just how much I miss his magic. 😪
The legend in action.
Yes Roger enjoy your retirement, but I must say I miss you on the courts. I was a great fan of yours. There is nobody playing Tennis like you.
Two things (1) it’s easy to forget that the most graceful of players also ran MILES to chase the ball down. Doesn’t matter how great your touch, you still have to WORK (2) it takes two great players to make a great point. Roger only has to play these amazing shots because he is playing against great opponents. The standard of tennis at the top is incredibly high.
Forget about stats tournament wins etc he's the best I've seen an the goat
The crazy part is that he has 2000 other shots just like these. Almost every match with multiple moments of tennis wizardry.
when the world still believed he was going to be the greatest ever. well, he still played the most beautiful tennis ever, looked the greatest, was the greatest sportsman, the real poster child.
Roger... we miss you on court !!!
Roger- wasted no energy, was the most relaxed in his body, the most creative (in the moment).
Maybe Roger was not so strong mentally like his great rivals Rafa and Novak but the way how he played. Maestro!
True. Unlike the others, Roger did not have the mentality to even try to be become "GOAT:Grunting", That prize goes to the others.
If Federer would not (have) exist(ed) he must have been invented. What a joy.
4:20 .. just sublime!!
Was & is GOD ✝️ givn talent , tennis missing Roger 😢😢
Federer is the MJ of Tennis.
0:52: Best commentary ever....
The master of volleys, the king of foreband, the Lord of tweeners who didn't necessarily need to look in direction of the shot to make it go right
One and only.... Roger Federer
But he will be remembered as a man who won the most at one time records were meant to be broken but ladies and gentlemen my Roger will never be forgotten enough said!!!!!!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
It's a Messi - Ronaldo discussion... Djoko scored more, but the magic happens somewhere else
Federer, el Messi del tenis; magia pura
Es en esa final de Roland Garros que le da una paliza increíble en el primer set a Nadal, que se va al vestuario y lo saca de partido. Le hizo un montón de esas escenas en ese periodo y el "bueno" de Roger nunca un gesto de enojo, sabiendo que se lo hacía para desconectarlo de su zona.
9:47 peak Davydenko vs peak Fed , that was violent
Greatest TP ever…. He IS THE GOAT …. GS or not ?
Federer is something like Ronaldinho in football
No one has this magic single hand backhand. It’s such a beauty to watch and he makes it look effortless.
there was a time, when federer seemed to have a special contract with the laws of physics, allowing him to do things that no one else can do. pure magic.
they always have a physical explanation....otherwise they wouldn't happen....
“Don’t even have a physical explanation.”
Physicists: X
it's remarkable that with all the fantastic amazing shots Federer did you still had to include 2 where opponents mis hit the ball and one where it was a simple shot a 10 year old could make as opponent was too far away to hit it. That's 3 moments of brilliance we missed out on.
Bad Azz💯
Dustin Brown highlights would be just as impressive
Novok is in making of the Greatest ever tannis player like Jahangir Khan in Squash.
ROGER......WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS❤
When you know you had lost it but forced to make a move, your subconscious mind (98% brain) takes over & brings the best move out of you.
5:54 is wild. Took him out of his shoes!
That killer forehand.
Do you lack the license to show any Wimbledon highlights or something? That's probably where most of his best shots were. The top one that comes to mind was around 2008 facing set point against Nadal and Roger smoked a perfect backhand passing shot down the line.
You missed the greatest of all. His backhand get with the ball well up court of him, turned near fully up court, to lob Agassi to perfection.
True Tennis GOAT.
All of these beyond the imagination of even djokovic the supposed GOAT.
Wonderful. But of course they have a physical explanation, otherwise he couldn't have done them.
I miss Federer 😢
I miss those Rafa shorts...
A minute in and literally zero of those shots were close to "nobody would believe if not filmed"....

How does this not include the Agassi one where Federer ended the point with a lob over Agassi's head.
Supposed GOAT made to look silly at 5:45. Lol!
some of these everybody would believe
because theyve seen it from roger already
i have no physical explanation for some of these shots!!
Federer makes the game look effortless yet with so much variation, craft and intelligence. And no grunting / yelling. Sheer class and a joy to watch.
I’m a fed fan but let’s not be hyperbolic. Tennis nor federer break the laws of physics “no physical explanation” my ass
they dont make em like this anymore
I always thought the ball had to literally go over the net. Obviously not.
5:40 Seriously Joker, you're going to try to Fed the Fed? He knew exactly what you were fixing to do. Class dismissed.
Young Federer would beat current Sinner. Federer would consistently absorb Sinner’s powerful groundstrokes and render them futile with his finesse shots and dynamic play style, discouraging Sinner to the point of learned helplessness that he simply cannot win even with his consistently overpowered shots.

Federer llegó a emocionar hasta a sus rivales...algo difícil de ver...
GOAT period.
Stealing titles and ideas from everyone. Raz Ols already made this exact same title and his video you can actually see the ball so. Also, learn how to spell to "Believe" LOL
Genius
Would love to see 25 Novak shots that as longest standing #1 i player in the history of tennis no one would believe. Can we be fair. Thanks!!
hard to find. let's try with 10 first.
what is so insane about making a point around the net?!?!? In my opinion it should be illegal
What you think about …24 Gran Slam o Djiokovic ???🍌🍌🍌
Not bad, but most of these shots were quite believable…
