Going off the idea that Fed is staying competitive with prime Djokovic at 30 I think the Federer in this video and the Fed of 2006 would handle Djokovic rather easily on any surface tbh. I also think the Fed of 2006 would dominate over the Nadal of say 2008 or 2010 on every surface except clay of course.
The previous generation had cleaner ball strikers by far. Federer, older Agassi, Nalbandian, Hewitt. The newer generation is faster, but you're seeing the toll it takes on their bodies to run that much so it's pretty much a wash IMO.
And people already started to compare him with Fed.. in his prime !!
Wake up, guys. 2006: Federer reached the finals of 16 tournaments out of 17 he's been in... winning 12. Calm, fast, and mischievously calculating. He ruled. As simple as that.
@Poeterish the reason djokovic only have 3 losses is because he pull out from tournaments whenever he feel he is not 100% and cannot win that tournament. His style is too physical and wanting a good year end loss record he have to do this. I think federer prime is better because he wins with ease but overall djokovic has more balanced hitting from both wings which is much more useful against player like nadal.
best footwork yes. not sure about overall movement tho. Djokovic beat Fed in Montreal in Rogers prime and I'd say he was covering the court a bit better. And Novak is moving better than anyone now. Making even Nadal look slow! Novaks legs are longer and it makes a difference. That said, Fed is my fav ever.
@bosnianlegend15 Lol, while I do understand where you're coming from, I don't think it's that he tries any less. I just think it's a combination that most of the newer players are flat-out faster than the previous generation (Nadal, Murray, Novak, Monfils, etc.) and on top of that, Fed's getting old. Whether he likes it or not, his reflexes just aren't what they were in his prime, despite how remarkable of a player he still is today.
@Fernandez218 Ok then why didnt you say that instead of something that had nothing to do with that? And dude you are aware that no comments here are necessary right? Ppl are just saying their opinion, mine was that there is nothing impressive in that point. If you're not happy with that I dont care, sorry.
@Dario2622 i was expecting an explanation on why this was not an impressive movement instead of you moving to an explanation of you, which means nothin' over the internet. i can deal with reasoning but not ur qualifications as a "teacher" and "national" ranker.
@Fernandez218 Dude whatever. Something doesn't need an explaination to not be impressive it needs an explaination to be impressive. Taking 3 steps to your left to hit a forehand is not impressive and TONS of players, pro and amateur do it.
@Dario2622 more than 3 steps , dude. so, you're telling me tons of pros have the timing required for the "3 steps" to hit an offensive forehand like that? dude, whatever.
@Dario2622 i know -- there's no point of taking this serious since you can make stuff up and no one really agrees with you. no point. thanks for ur opinion, i suppose.
What I miss from Federer when i look at his tactics nowadays, he no longers attack with his BH down the line to the opponent's FH. It's as if he's just not intimidated by his adversary's forehand. He will hit wherever he sees an opening. It seems that he doesn't worry about his executions from both strokes but now, he shows less confidence when hitting down the line, does it less often.
I find, with all the Federer videos, to get a really good appreciation of how good Roger is, you should keep watching his opponents (Nalbandian in this case) in the point to realise just what they have to deal with, all the shots they need to bring back and from what positions. It's relentless pressure.
Thats unreal.
