Masters Cup 08 RR Federer vs Simon (HL Pt1)

[tennisfan311]

Simon's game looks so effortless, he seems to use less energy than the others when he hits the ball, he changes the pace and direction of the ball very well too.

Underrated talent and good player when he plays well.

[cj397]

@Rafathaman94 then nadal is a pusher. since simon is a counter-puncher...

[cj397]

@Rafathaman94 he's a good player, why the fuck do you talk so much shit about players not in the top 5?

[MrTonyInchpractice]

*federer towels his face*

Dickhead Commentator: This is Federer at his ABSOLUTE best.



[MrDonnie54]

simon proves that if you work hard, very very hard, you can make a top ten player,e ven if you're not the most talented player on the tour.

[hattrickster33]

@Rafathaman94 Well he almost beat Federer at the AO...when Federer was playing pretty badly, so that's not much:P

[hattrickster33]

@Rafathaman94 why???

[manco82]

LOL... Robby Koening is such a Fed-tard. "absolute best", "World No. 1" when he was No. 2...... Great stuff!

[gargarensi]

Revenge is best served...two years late!

[yoonrain]

Simon is the Edward Cullen on court

Federer plays the best as always!

[GyariSan]

you'd be pretty fucking annoyed to lose to Gille Simon if you're Federer seriously lol.

[Tina2342]

i love Roger and Gilles... They are my favorite tennis players......

[cholyi]

The commentator said federer at his absolute best over and over... and simon ends up winning!

[hattrickster33]

@cholyi yea the commentator has no idea what he's talking about...

[popGen1975]

why can't Fed play like this any more?

[tennisproderek]

gilles looks like a freaking bumblebee

[stbskitz]

LOL... 'federer at his absolute best'

[jeffbeck70]

@Rafathaman94: He's been constantly injured since.

[BrotherTree1]

i think simon here was playing much better than when he played fed back in toronto when he won 2-6 7-5 6-4.

[hoyoungone]

wow "world's numba 1" !?!?!?!? nadal was no 1 bak then

[joojy]

that was because nadal pulled out 2008 master cup due to injury making federer no.1 seed.

[hoyoungone]

nadal was no 1 until august 2009

[mystikr]

I love the Federer's second serve ace to take the first set

[tennisofhoyoungwon]

great match! :)

[Jaishankar100]

3:57 good shot selection from the world no 1!! even though he was no.2 at that time!

[BrotherTree1]

haha i know, that commentator always gets it wrong...he did it as well when he commentated fed vs tsonga at madrid 3R match.

[peachesnmcream]

what happened to part 2?

[deano27xx]

can u please upload pt 2 and so on!! i wanna c the rest of the match!! thanks..

[mystikr]

Simon is sooo powerless

[jorrrma]

where is pt2

[RBaltovi]

Watching a match like this you I find myself wishing that the Federer or 2004-2007 would materialize; that Fed would have eaten this guy for breakfast and I just hope that winning the last two GS will resurrect that confidence, movement and agression.

[Jaishankar100]

In 08 and even 09 there are certain periods where federer plays really poorly like he did in this match.(esp. on Hard courts)

If he could get over these patches of play he can beat Nadal in a GS Final

[MrCWL]

"...from the world number one." geez. nope.

[SharkyssMachine]

i hate simon's little forehand

[joojy]

his footwork in the masters cup 05-08 is really outstanding.

[quest8899]

no high quality...

[Pray4RF]

read the description...

[ProBuNdi]

@Pray4RF Hi Pray4RF, I don't understand how to see this high light in better quality ...

[laperdepaperhond312]

you're crazy

he's the best tennis player ever and you say

"all federer's fans are suck"

[alywen06]

bless him he cant speak the english langauge right by saying fans are suck dont you mean fans suck

[kakashi1300]

fix first your english before throwing insults, idiot! most probably you are a nadal fan.

[qUdZzIeNadl]

haha, even my eng r not so good like you, i dont care, so far, im happy with my life, i can speak to other people even not in english, so wat is ur the problem?

[alywen06]

yoru a rafa fan by any chance if you are hes something for you go pratice ball pushing like your idol does

[qUdZzIeNadl]

sory my eng is not so good. Yeah, i'm tennis player, i like to push the ball like nadal did, the ball spin heavily, looked very good. so wat?

[TimeKillers]

lol.... he called federer the world number 1

[Kishnabe]

It would be nice to see federer and simon in the semis. Maybe they could have a rematch.

[sinamoravej]

Yeah Simon isn't an amazingly talented player compared to some of the others. But he's really worked hard to maximize what he has and stays in there no matter what the situation is. Props to him for keeping his head up and fighting despite a pretty solid first set from Federer.

[d090509]

it's a roundrobin, so i guess federer shouldn't worry about it. He will make it! Simon on the other hand, i don't think he can keep up this consistent form

[robinho1979]

Simon reminds me of a new generation of a Hewitt/Canas but with only more power. He grinds his matches, always hanging in..moves well. Playing a guy like him can be very annoying.

[mitko1fed]

it was a good match from roger....that worm simon got lucky there..great words from the commentator called rog N1 again..

[baritono81]

Yeah thanks for highlights, bummer for Federer. I was worried when I saw the draw, Simon is tuff. He just hangs in there with the baseline rallies and there ya go, he takes the match. Hope Fed can regroup and win it like last year!

[alexx765]

thank you!
