@5:48 Roger girly scream

BEST BEST BEST TENNIS PLAYER EVER

BEST BEST BEST TENNIS PLAYER EVER



[KaminariKatta]

lol if federer wants to have at least 10 wimbledon tittles,tell ATP to change back to the 1980's grass

[federerbestclass]

Roger is true class. Love Roger

[rwfan]

He plays who's in front of him, simple as that.  And let's not revise history here, aside from not reaching nearly as many Major finals as Roger, Pete wasn't exactly winning those titles having to square off against Agassi, Becker (who was readying retirement at the time of Pete's ascent) or any other "all-time" great. Yet he won them fair and square. As has Mr. Federer. Enough said.

[rwfan]

Edit to add: Pete wasn't facing off against those players, on a constant basis during Grand Slam events. As someone who followed pro tennis since the 1980s, Pete got much of the same "domination" flak as Fed. Though the key difference from my perspective appears to be nationality.

[rwfan]

Were Fed an American (or even Brit for that matter), the amount of coverage would be insufferable. Though I kinda prefer it as is. Allows his racket to do the talking. Leaving his detractors scrambling for yet another way to move the goal post. lol

[rwfan]

Wouldn't Nadal have to first start reaching all GS finals as consistently as Fed to have this debate. Also Agassi and Sampras were about the same age, whereas Nadal is 5 years younger than Fed. I think Fed's GS semi and finals records speak for themselves.

[SuperIndianKid]

for right now he's the greastest of all time.

[satishsatishiyer]

The question in my mind is not whether Federer is the greatest player ever... but by how much distance he is the greatest... I think by the time he is done Roger will make sure that he is the greatest player ever... atleast by a mile than his closest rivals Rod Laver... Pete Sampras... and Bjorn Borg...I cannot help negating those poor people who question his greatness because they themselves know that they are wrong.. The point is HE IS THE BEST... like him or not...

[v0rgelx]

federer is unbeatable..hes really good

[rangeboyry]

yeah right he's unbeatable

but just trashed by Nadal (claycourt player) even on wimbeldon

next GS championship he will compete against my grandfather instead of wasting time up against current loser players

[KaminariKatta]

@rangeboyry know ur tennis boy,the grass court at wimbledon is slower than usopen and aussieopen,go search it up.

[rangeboyry]

if he is...

why does nadal(only second talent in game) beat him on GS finals 5 times in row one after another ?

[pepe00iz]

mono!!!!

[xinnianhao]

He's perfect.

[rangeboyry]

perfect loser against Nadal on every single match on every single surface

[Fadibest100]

@rangeboyry Federer leads on grass courts and hard courts (more than one surface)THAT CLAY CHICKEN IS JUST A CLAY CHICKEN

[sonic837]

hey fordie he is not the king but he is the emperor..the greatest the game had ever seen

[rangeboyry]

he's one eye king in the world of blind

cant even beat Nadal, his only competition beside bunch of loser players around

go watch sampras, becker, krajicek, kafelnikof, kuerten, agassi, rafter, jim and so on...

maybe you get a better idea what the man tennis was instead GS tarining matches of today

[ab501lara]

u fucking fed hater, u r saying rafa beat roger in wimbeldon 2008 and aus 09...ok,so what? after all fed was under so much pressure to break borg,s record in wimbeldon and tie sampras record in aus 09..but still,he did not lose easily but make rafa run like a deer for 4:30 hours in both games...but roger took jus 2:30 hrs in wimbeldon 2006 and 3;30 hrs during wim 2007.. so,give some other convincing reasons, u cocksucking son of a bitch

[rangeboyry]

he's a loser against Nadal one after another

like your mama in bed with me one after another.

would you need more convincing sweety ?

than ask your fatal mamy about Nadal

all the best with loser federer

sampras is the king

[ab501lara]

no,u dickhead..yours is not convincing reply..it seems u dont understand english. your reply is totally irrelavant to my question. i never said anything about sampras,u asshole...better have ur head examined or have ur mama for sex all the time or get ur dick shaved off

[jmacnz]

people stop hateing Nadal and saying he is terrible and what has he done. i tell you what hes done at 18 he won the french open and the next 3 years after that he won it easily each year and won a AUS Open at 22 also competeing in one of the greatest finals in history and winning. both Roger and Rafa are excellent players and all of us should feel privlidged to be in the era of Rafa vs Roger. Roger would also not be pleased at fans like you Nadal haters because he respects Nadal very much

[rlparcia]

I agree to this. I am great Roger fan but Nadal is Nadal. We are so blessed with the existence of these players in our era. Their stories will be a stuff of legend that can be told to our grandchildren, long after this two gentlement will leave the circuit. Instead of bad words, lets celebrate their achievements.

[KaminariKatta]

@jmacnz we're not hating on him,we're juz pissed that nadal fans come to a fed video juz to criticize abt him.

[enialis77210]

Federer In 2008 was ill many palkyers beat him so easy but federer in great form is dangerous

[FordieMUFC]

the king..

[FordieMUFC]

oh yeah, nothing compared to him.

a man that has held the no.1 position for 237 consecutive weeks, has won 15 grand slams. and still has much more time to go in tennis. nothing compared to nadal that has won what? 6 grand slams?

[andy316800]

and 4 of them are on clay....so sad....lol nadal is probably the greatest clay player ever. but compare to roger federer, what nadal has achieved is nothing near as great....

[onixya1969]

You are talking out of your ass, especially since even Nadal talks nicely about Federer. I sure Nadal doesn't even want to have fans like you, so just shut up and do a favor to everyone.

[rangeboyry]

one eye king in the world of blind

there was ever one king in real tennis

PETE SAMPRAS

real GS match competitions

not training matches like federer

[DonChilenito]

federer is the greatest players ever, but ofc we cant compare him with Borg or macenroe cus they sued some old bad rackets nothing compared with the new ones. anywheys The only one who can Stop federer in a Grand slam I Rafael nadal and he´s the only one who have done it aswell.

[theinside227712699]

Federer is 27 years old. With his excellent physical condition he may reach a playing age similar to Agassi, 35 years. Having said so, he has aproximately 8 more years to play. That means approximately 32 more grand slams. He may not win them all and he may drop his game, but I believe that he ought to win between 20-25 grand slams by the time he retires. Additionaly I believe he can actually improve his game now that he's got rolandgarros off his shoulders, as well as beating Sampras's record.

[satishsatishiyer]

Great point made... I think Fedex will win 22 slams... and Tiger woods will end up with 25-26 majors... this is just my opinion... because Fedex will play another 6-7 years and tiger woods will play for atleast 20-25 years... so ITS ADVANTAGE TIGER WOODS..

[flord777]

enough is enough ROGER is the best tennis player the end.

[flawlessbeauty888]

I love this video and thanks for sharing it. Go Roger for 15th Grand Slam title. 2009 is your year. You deserve it. Looking forward on wimbledon final. Just focus on your game, stay calm, don't underestimate your opponent. God Bless...

[FrenchLanguage]

Roger better play like this against Murry because Murry's chances are too great. Murry just won in Queens on grace before coming into Wimbledon so his confidence is up, plus he has a 6-2 record against Roger, plus Murry will hav the entire COUNTRY routing for him. Roger doesn't have a chance against Andy Murry.

Congrats, Murry

Sorry, Roger

I love Roger and want him to win, but it's time to face up to reality this year.

[mariomarcano]

You´re a stupid... granted, Murray leads Federer in head-to-head matches, 6 - 2... but did you know that both of Federer´s victories against Murray have come in finals? And that both have a beatdown for Murray (Bankog 2005, not to mention the way he was crushed by Federer in last year´s U.S. Open final)? Besides, they´d play on a grass court, where Federer rules... so, if I were you, I´d seriously doubt about Murray´s ''great chances'' against Federer in a possible Wimbledon final...

[mariomarcano]

You should think before you talk...

[MrTk014]

so, roger wins his 15 slam at wimbledon. No surprise. So who thinks this years wim was entertaining? Are people getting bored of watching one player dominate or do majority of people marvel at rogers genius? Why cant nobody except nadal challenge roger on grass. Can roger win 10 wimbledons! if so, do you think he should be given the real trophy to keep if he win s10!

[mariomarcano]

I´m a Federer fan, but hey, no, nobody can win 10 Wimbledons... that´ll be like winning it for an entire decade... however, he can win 8! All of this, everyone should know that Federer was up 7 - 6, 0 - 30, in last year´s Wimbledon final (which means that he was two points away from victory)... So, he could have had 1 more Wimbledon trophy... So, whichever is his tally in Wimbledon at the end of his career, we´d have to remember that he let Nadal rob him 1...

[satishsatishiyer]

C mon.. Rog wimby is yours for sure...and i dnt see any real threat for you in US open.. Damn had u won Aus open you would have completed a Calendar slam... no problem 2010 Aus open is of yours for sure...

[mariomarcano]

Andreev was a real threat to Federer in last year´s U.S. Open eightfinals... of course, Roger´ll win the 2010 Australian Open, and erase that stupid memory of sobbing... I know he won´t retire until he erases that...

[syimato]

cric321, even Nadal respect Roger. so u as a fan of Nadal, totally adores and respect Nadal, y dont u do the same like your role model?

[mepartocontigo10]

alguien lo podria poner traducido al español...

[sVenRRneVs]

Does somebody know how the song is called that starts at 0:11?

[MrTk014]

Amazing player. Most naturally gifted the game has seen. I think he may end up with 19 slams if he is motivated and gets over the nadal complex. I am sure he will.

[mariomarcano]

I reckon that Federer´ll wind up with 18 grand slams...

[mroshanali]

His style,grace and brilliance is unmatchable.

[vinayvenkateshprasad]

this is the most emotional and the most inspiring phenomenon ever

[gorogerfederer]

ROGER ROGER ROGER !!! GO

[rangeboyry]

try to beat your only competition Nadal

Go Roger

maybe in your dreams

[tolendoi123]

gotta love Rafa he's so humble even though he has beaten roger many times^_^

[Neo351]

Simply the greatest tennis player in history...

[rangeboyry]

after Pete Sampras

[TaylorKristich]

Very nice

[WikipediaRules]

please win US Open Roger, show us you're still the man.

[abbyo7baby]

he done it

[eddieirvtheswerve]

hopefully he will retain the us open and get back to his best ahead of the next season

[cric321]

Nadal will do roger in the shitter again, again and again until roger cries so loud they will hear him in switzerland. Roger, you are finished. Pack your bags, fuck off back to switerland, turn the TV on and watch how a "true champion" plays.

[abbyo7baby]

nadal = 5 grandslams

roger = 13

[18agosto2mil8]

Nadal = 22 years (Pro since 2001)

Federer = 27 years (Pro since 1998)

[rangeboyry]

GS match up results Nadal vs Roger ?

any comment please ?

sampras was 5-1 against agassi and also up against all other hall of fame champions

ring the bell ?

[sjmadzzz14]

@abbyo7baby 16 to be exact!!!

[fibe99999]

excellent video, thanks so much for uploading. i really hope roger will get out of his recent slump.

[satishsatishiyer]

he has done that.. he has won the US open and i am very sure that he will win All 4 grand slams of 2009.. it is important to note that French open 2009 will be his 15 grand slam.. :-)

[itsisi]

agree mucho! And then by the end of 2009 he will be celebrating his 17th Slam!

cric321: are you unable to watch the video because otherwise you must be blind and deaf at the same time to not be able to see the true and humble champion of Roger Federer

[60Swend60]

Why do you think he will??? I personally consider Rafael Nadal invincible on clay and very good at grass as well. If Federer is looking to be number 1 again he'll have to do well on hard court... the one where Nadal can't follow him. If he wins Australian open, US open and some hard court masters series and maybe ATP world tour final in London i'm certain that he well retain the 1st place... but unfortunatly i doubt he will. I hope he will surprise me :)

[cric321]

I hate this fucktwat with a passion. He projects this false image of how humble he is, but the truth is nadal is the most humble and will beat the shit out of him again, and again and again. oh, and AGAIN! Even andy murray is getting into the federer bashing! lol. Roger federer, the greatest player in the world? Dont think so. Far from it , The greatest bunny, choker and cry baby in the history of the sport? Yes. Spot on.

[onixya1969]

cric321, you are just a angry and bitter dude, just because you don't cheer for Federer, it doesn't mean you have to get angry because of his greatness. Get over yourself, go outside, get a life.

[pepe00iz]

just 5 words:

He won the FRENCH OPEN!!!!!!!!!!

and another thing:

he beat nadal in madrid!!!!!!!!

so keep cool buddy

[rangeboyry]

trashed by Nadal by 82% average

his single super talent competitor in the arena

cool right ?

[pepe00iz]

hey man why are you writing this stupid coments in a royal zone? are you so angry and constipated because Roger is better player? that he beat Nadal the last time they met when your spanish molly was "better" and the favorite and federer was going to the exit? that Fed is 28 and hasn't being injured and Nadal isn't 25 and has his knees fucked? I know Nadal has won more against Federer but that doesn´t make him better. Federer is more consistant than him and his the best player ever!!

[pepe00iz]

And in games Nadal has had more trouble in beating federer than roger beating nadal also you have to count the mononucleosis.

and who has more GS??? ROGER!!!!

Also i have 3 things to say:

1. stop saying Nadal has beaten roger multiple times please It´s annoying. Thank you.

[pepe00iz]

2. If you want to go to Nadal's video zone and say whatever you want with people of your kind go and do it no one will stop you. Just please dont bother us, we are Fed fans and we dont want to hear someone like you saying this things about our hero!!!

and 3. Dont say anything about my lovely mother or something like that. it shows how primitve you are, that you dont have no brain and you lack of debate hability. not to mention that you have nothing better to do.

Long live Roger!!!!

[Jiexiao44]

@pepe00iz It's sad how all the tennis fan don't respect each other!

Federer fan and Nadal fan are just like enemy

[kdorg79]

He is the spitting image of his father.

[diehardFedfan]

he looks a bit like his mum too

[YourHeroesExplained]

to be honest...no1 or not he is still our no1

We may.....and i stress may have to come to grips with a roger federer who is not no1.

I hope not

[k4z4o2]

he truly deserves greatness, what a beautiful person! he recognized his weaknesses and improved it and now look at him, possibly the greatest of all time!

[EzzeBezz16]

Roger Federer the best player ever!!!

[rangeboyry]

after Sampras

[diehardFedfan]
