Federer incredible reflexes

[ToprakTennis]

If you notice Fed hits a lot of balls in the middle of the court instead of going for the corners. Players like Corretja are very consistent and they actually do better when they are running around because they create better angles. When the ball is hit in the middle they struggle to create angles and take charge. So fed patiently rallies back to the middle of the court and waits for his opportunity to attack.

[peperi0111]

that was a boring rally

[ashokdheenan]

@losonodella2i i think he might still use the pro staff tho it is the blx six one paint job

[SparklyBerryXxX]

I cant get used to him with long hair!

[cakmakypn]

which year is this?

[Eternalover78]

@cakmakypn 2001

[cakisch]

At 0:20, he's faking it...

[iosonodella2i]

he had sampras' racket, or it's just me?

[fbinsulation]

@iosonodella2i yep he used pro staff 85 till about 2003? definitely using it here

[iosonodella2i]

@fbinsulation thanks :)

[lightmyfir3]

@fbinsulation he actually still uses it. Wilson just paints it to make it look like their newer models.

[littleman787]

What year was this? Roger still has his hair the old way

[C4ptKrunch]

Fuck, do you people seriously watch this? like it looks fun to play but its like watching paint dry.

[AceGuitarR7]

@C4ptKrunch watching paint dry can be fun. those fumes will make you pretty light headed

[TJB147]

The clay was very slow back then!

[OlavDenDeilige]

Roger was so gangstah back in the day!

[solopiece]

when was this?

[IKnowWereYouSleep]

@unowen727 i bet chya' u cant say that to my fukk!ng face, fag0t

[IKnowWereYouSleep]

federer sucks nadal is better nadal won more grand slams and more masters tournaments. federer is nothing i can beat him easy when i grow up ill have more grand slams than him.

[mevoili]

@IKnowWereYouSleep Fuckin retarded

[IKnowWereYouSleep]

@mevoili fu!k you; Fagget

[MulletMan3108]

@IKnowWereYouSleep nadal has won more grand slams than federer?.....oh dear. also, hateful and threatening language over the internet isnt great. arguing over the internet is like running in the 'special' olympics: even if you win you're still retarded. now pipe down

[misterlonely1446]

lmao at the commentators: "great tennis" "ooh what a save.." "point of the match so far" "by farr...." so dully said

[acharem]

it's the sympathy that makes federer better than nadal....

[ePakamatches]

@acharem

Too bad this video has nothing to do with Nadal, eh?

[acharem]

@ePakamatches every video wit federer has something to do with nadal.... welcome to youtube

[minouche411]

Not a reflex it's anticipation on this one.

[davd1986]

This was Federer 1.0

[DestroyerAlexandros]

@federerbestclass Dude why do you spam all videos that contain the word "federer" with stuff like "roger best class forever the greatest ratest eatest ever forever ever"

[zaitesushion]

Love seeing Roger and Alex together, two hot guys with great single-handed backhands.

[Foorrax]

Reflexes and advance :)

[Hieppy55555]

Lol. I noticed Federer doesn't grunt when he hits the ball.

[nico74321]

that was more of a predicting the shot rather than quick reflex.. at that close distance at the net it is impossible to return that kind of shot if you dont have experience like federer does

[curfewrukidn]

nadal will achieve more than federer

[NiggeliNG]

@curfewrukidn he never will. he won't achieve a career grand slam and will never get more than 10 major titles. he will set a new masters 1000 record, but that's it

[MrEmpirical]

@NiggeliNG HAHAHA you fail. "He won't achieve a career grand slam." Read it and weep you tennis noob.

[NiggeliNG]

@MrEmpirical yeah. i failed.

but when i wrote this it really seemed unlikely that he would recover.

[volvariella]

Corretja's grunt sounds like Gonzalez's....

[dcbcholo]

cool ... lol

[quellicheiltennis]

pure istinct!!!

[wwechampion2234]

2001

[fbinsulation]

Wow, I was actually 2 mins into watching the highlights of Serena and Jankovic before I realized.. why the fuck am I about to watch 9 mins of ugly tennis just to see if Serena has better reflexes than Fed??!1 LOL

[mysteriekiller]

Serena better reflexes? haha!

[gokharol]

Don't be a bad person, if you don't like it, you don't need to say such things.

[jna180]

k good for you

[JDL323]

"great point" "whata save" "point of the match so far" "by far" haha i luv the 2nd guy lol

[silvanakrip]

The Best!

[Elwink]

The Greatest Off All Time

[ismaco1]

Yeah... Poor boy... He just has 15 GS on his pocket.... Just luck...

[plzdontkillme17]

@ismaco1 16 :)

[valerioevonde]

just lucky, yeah. Poor boy.

[Snap3231]

that was just lucky.

[david93fcb]

you know that we're talking about ROGER FEDERER?!

[baseliner52094]

clay play is very slow

[Drago110482]

ah and by the way: 3 weeks later, Federer defeated Sampras in Wimbledon.

[Samprasisthebest]

This was way back in 2001?

[Drago110482]

Yes.

[cruzzo260]

what year is this??

[Drago110482]

2001, the year when Corretja met Kuerten in the final and lost in 4 sets.

[fbinsulation]

alright please don't have a Roger fan vs. Rafa fan trashtalk here.

They are both Hall of Fame worthy players who have the utmost respect for each other, so why must their fans hate each other so much???

[SirVetje]

@fbinsulation Thank you for this reaction :D I'ts been more than a year ago since you have posted this, but it's a statement that is more than true so i had to respond :). They do respect each other and there should be no reason why fans hate each other. They want their idols to win everything, it's just not possible. Both players have different qualities and it's just good for the tennis that other players come out and have a try to be no1.

[Rafathaman94]

@fbinsulation I know. I am a fan of Nadal, but I do not hate Federer. Every time I comment on a Nadal/Federer video, federer fans just assume that I hate Federer and they always write comments to me that trash talk Nadal. Why do the fans hate each other? And not to mention this troll federergayclass writes the same exact gay comments on every video and uses his multiple youtube accounts to rate himself up. And he rates down every pro-Nadal comment. Why are some fans so stupid?

[circusgal44]

@Rafathaman94 haha i agree they are both greats of tennis i always love to see fed and nadal play each other... but as i say federer is "beatable" now, not that he wont put his heart into playing its just the calibre of the ounger players coming up.. and one is nadal...

[allstarjai1010]

@fbinsulation It's quality banter - take your morals elsewhere.

[rogerfedererfan98]

@fbinsulation YEAH bcuz Roger is the greatest of all time and Nadal has way more titles to win to be like Roger so ... ROGER IS STILL THE BEST!

[rogeristhelord]

if federer, who has won more titles than anyone else currently on the tour and who plays with a style and grace that others cant, is not great then please tell me who is?

[seidl01]

sry but lozasawo has no clue about tennis

[aishayue]

totally agree with you. seeing him crying for something that means a lot to him touched every cord of my heart. he is not only a great champion, he is also a great person, a champion with a heart. in sport, it is important to play with the heart. i love him also because of this vulnerable side of him.

[Nonsaneness]

@Team3xtreme Holier than thou much?

[butterflycaught900]

@Team3xtreme he should have won the 08 wimbledon. look at highlights from his quarter and semi, he was on fire. then in the final, cos its nadal, he goes back into his shell and plays very weak tennis for 2 sets then pretty good tennis for the next 3

[slitheringinterstate]

Hey Lozsawo...

...Was Federer winning the French Open today to complete a career Grand Slam and to tie Pete Sampras for the most major titles of all-time another example of him "not being great"???

....LOL...wow dude...you are a fucking idiot...your brain doesn't operate any better than your English language skills....in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if English was your first language lol.

[horseandfox92]

cric321 is just jealous. hahaha

[rafanadaltennis]

nice shot

[fbinsulation]

come on man, that's not cool :(

that match absolutely destroyed Roger . At least have enough respect for the man to STFU!!!!!!!

[n00b2nd]

destroyed him?? more like given him unbelievable motivation to never let that happen again, he was so close...federer shall reign once more.

[seidl01]

and cric???? how many slams nadal have on hard or grass???? ohhh just 2....

[RogerFedererTennis93]

genius

[Elohite]

other guy has a weird forehand
