The most significant win of Roger's career. What a performance that was, especially in the fifth set. Relaxed Federer is a marvel to witness, a true art form, and I think he was very calm in this match because he respects Rafa so much.
"I will never EVER forget that rally!" sums up the whole match for me 🙏🏼
What a tournament this was, an injection of nostalgia. As a Fedal fan, it gave me everything I wanted. For a moment, we were back in the late 2000’s 🥹 Good luck in the future, Roger 👏
One of the most epic wins ever. When he developed the neo backhand he really neutralized Nadal's forehand and beat him in big consecutive tournaments. The GOAT for me!
Dear Roger, most of your tennis career I have been too young to see you live, the last few years I have spent countless hours watching each of your matches, most of your great plays and great points I know by heart, your statistics , and absolutely everything you have achieved as a tennis player, I know. Unfortunately I haven't had the honor of attending a tennis stadium to see you play, it's something I've always dreamed of. Even so, I want to thank you for everything you have achieved, for what you are as a person, as a player, for everything you have given to tennis, for the number of tennis players you have inspired to improve and for so many joys, since I can remember you are my favorite tennis player and my idol, you are a turning point in tennis itself, since you entered the circuit you have revolutionized the way we see and understand this sport, you are the reason I started watching tennis, and the reason why I will continue looking into the future, and no matter how much time passes, you will never be a memory, you are eternal, the best of all time, it was never about the statistics, but about what you transmit in people as a tennis player, your game is so simple and perfect at the same time, it is something incomparable. I hope one day to have the fortune and honor to meet you and be able to take a picture with you, I would be the happiest person in the world, but even so, I want to thank you infinitely for everything, and also tell you that you will never be a memory, you will be eternal, the very tennis in person, The Best of All Time ❤️🥇👑
My favorite RF win ever. Oh, what a year this was. The sunshine double was amazing. Neo on steriods during the sunshine double
7:45 point that stay in history forever
The NEO backhand, the best comeback of all time, the Fairytale, the most iconic rivalry & the greatest player Federer behind a million emotions & magic moments! ✨✨ You'll be remembered forever & you'll always be my hero ❤
these highlights don't show at all how deep Federer had to dig in the 5th set. He was down 1-3. Then switched on and won basically all the points. Started risking more, lost all fear and went for it. Legendary moment in the history of the sport. "All or nothing"
still goosebumps and tears coming up when rewatching it 6 years later
My favourite athlete :(( the day has come, been through the ups and downs, I’ll never forget how he won the AO in 17, Wimbledon in 17 & AO again in 18. Proved everyone wrong & helped inspired a martial artists like myself. I’m now 23 years old but tennis was the first sport I loved growing up! Thank you for everything! All aboard the fedexpress!
The commentator: " I will never ever forget this point" Tennis fans worldwide: "Amen"
I always thought this was the greatest victory of Fed's career. What's interesting is that the match played out v similar to the 2009 AO open final ... except different result in the 5th.
My eyes in tears... Knowing roger is retiring. From 2002 i watched roger with all the beauty style he has. You'll be missed roger.
My lord I miss watching Rodger Federer so much. His electric backhand was one of the most beautiful things to watch in any sport.
The level of that match was simply insane.
Rafa was probably wondering where Roger's new great backhand came from.
honouring roger by posting extended highlights of maybe his most special match ever, well done AO
Everybody remembers exactly where they were when this match was being played. Such is the significance of this match, what a final between two players who have elevated this sport to a different level. Thank you Roger!
I am a huge fan of both these legends...and also of Djoko. These 3 are all GOATS.
