Baby Federer shows his magic

[kawaihui]

They had no idea what they were watching~

[TheFedererNadallover]

he had ground strokes a lot like Sampras back then !

[chezchez31]

WHERE CAN I FIND THIS WHOLE MATCH???

[SavagePersonified90]

90s Fed was cool, but 00s Fed is amazing! 2004-2007 are the greatest four years anyone has ever had in tennis!

2004: 74-6, 11 titles, 3 Grandslams, 3 Masters, Year-End Champion, #1 ranking

2005: 81-4, 11 titles, 2 Grandslams, 4 Masters, #1 ranking

2006: 92-5, 12 titles, 3 Grandslams, 4 Masters, Year-End Champion, #1 ranking

2007: 68-9, 8 titles, 3 Grandslams, 2 Masters, Year-End Champion, #1 ranking

[TXAZ84]

He looks like Sampras with that running forehand and that flying backhand. No wonder why he considers him his idol. =D

[extradutyfelt1]

you could see roger´s, growing potential, already..

[jrg3882]

Cute. Like his boyish towel rub with both hands.

[Trystaticus]

"good to see somebody doing it with the one-hand, as well" You said it! Not enough one-handed backhands in the ATP anymore.

[booboobooie47]

that looks like pete

[vivs005]

Damn he took a breather

[alandom]

wow he was playing like Sampras

[THEJACKSONVILLE1200]

@alandom YEAH LOL HIS FOREHAND WAS SAMPRAS LIKE DID NOT LIKE THAT LOL MAYBE BECAUSE HE WAS YOUNG HE ASPIRED TO BE LIKE SAMPRAS BECUASE HE WAS THE MAN AT THE TIME LOL

[asdfuogh]

@THEJACKSONVILLE1200 I was about to comment on how Sampras-esque his forehand was.. but you beat me to it. Well, back to staring at Ivanovic.. for .. tennis purposes..

[TheGametime2011]

The backhand was already like that!!!

[gorantrevise]

at 0:20 Agassi was thinking "Wtf you little Mf trying on me" :-)))

Perfect slice by the way

[omgitzKMFTW]

sex hair

[fastmilion]

KING in process

[fedelise]

a bandana will change his career :D !

[HardstyleSVOBO1718]

@fedelise ahahahahahaha nice xDD

[SL9SH]

man Agassi should hate pro staffs...

[rokbunker]

aggassy had hair ????????? omg lol wtf

[1313tennisman]

@rokbunker retard, agassi was FAMOUS for his hair. It declined, and he concealed it by making it much longer and thinner, and eventually, using a hairpiece. then, his girlfriend at the time convinced him to shave it off, and he became nearly bald. 

[sasook]

@1313tennisman I don't think it was really necessary to call him a retard lol

[flamingrubix]

woah! agassi has hair!

[crosbyyacht]

Federer is one of the greatest, for sure, but I doubt he or Nadal will ever match Agassi's commitment and results in helping the less fortunate.

Agassi's acceptance speech into the tennis hall of fame was one of the most inspiring by any player at any time. I'd be very surprised if Federer ever matches Agassi's actions and commitment in that area.

Just something to think about :-))))

[extradutyfelt1]

@crosbyyacht don´t know if you know this, but both federer and nadal have their foundations and roger´s foundation in south africa supports over a 1,000 children, whether they do more or less than agassi has done is another issue, but they do play their part in helping other´s nevertheless.

[Mycommentsgethumbsup]

fed is the best....agassi is a tool

[Foreverguga1]

Andre Agassi had hair

This stuff is damn old

[HeadTennis99]

he looks like John Mayer a little bit

[yucky1336]

@HeadTennis99 spot on

[katherineli]

OMG ROGER U CUTIE!

[bastion105]

is it me or is the screen spazzing in the begining?

[ullorbrolly]

damn he must go back to this backhand!!

[erbgorre]

lmao

never seen federer trying to catch his breath after a rally :D

aww

[tobo86]

...it's good to see someone doing it with the one hand as well. Amen. May it rest in piece.

[LAHrebirth]

whocares his not even no.1 anymore

[oscarardilaicjn13]

@LAHrebirth Shut up stupid nadal motherfucker, get outta here!!!

[Cizc90]

when he was young his shots looks like sampras shots;in particular the running forehand at 0:39 is very very similar.

[iOnlySignIn]

Wow, he looked so nervous then it's unreal. Now his face is a death mask. :-)

[VonBimoburg]

Awwwww, baby fed <3

[leonfe30]

Agassi the best

[alywen06]

Funny how this young man would go on to beat agassi in a grand slam final

[bugabutu]

with those directionals, definitly agassi.... & those crazy skills of a young fed are mind blowingh

[jairus]

Crazy to think 6-7 years later, this point would happen and nobody would raise an eyebrow

[TheBig1dea]

Dude had no idea he'd be the greatest of all time one day...

[ZXcannon]

Amazing how empty the little stadium is. Bet it cost less than $10 to per seat.

[ludtke337]

federer's strokes look totally different and much cleaner now

[Herzog1012]

Awesome, awesome video.

[ryanrenesis]

he swings off both wings like sampras in this video!

[Lucian86]

@ryanrenesis

True

[pablotjob]

have you got more of this match? It's interested on seeing Roger in his 'first days' as a tennis player........He played the junior tour during 1998, so I think he received the WILD CARD to play this torunament in Basel (his birth's city.......)

[diony60]

What tournament was this?

[diony60]

nevermind...

Swiss Indoors, 1998

[LeaderLiquid]

Rog rules as young too! xD

Ps. The final score of the match?

[KikasisIluvya]

agassi won 6:3, 6:2

[LeaderLiquid]

Thanks!

[pifflejammy]

Hahaha. Deep breaths... :)) Cuute.

[iceagecoming]

there used to be a longer version of this video on youtube but i can't find it! the commentator called him even back then "the Federer Express".

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

I know! What happened to that!? Really!

[NMtB4ev4]

Yeah I watched that as well. Someone took it down. At least dootzies has put this up xx

[FoxDie]

Wow wonderful, thanks alot for this

[BarneveldDarts]
