except for the smash, all other shots were basically executed perfectly
prime Fed was ridiculous

So fast, his movements and footworks is too good

This was *peak* Roger in 2004. Kids these days just don't realize how insanely good he was back then. To me, he'll always be the greatest player to have ever played tennis.

3 most underrated things in tennis:

Federer's defence
Nadal's net play
Djokovic's drop shot

Crazy anticipation and reflexes, Federer is alway where he needs to be.

New generations have no idea how was that Federer in his prime, 2003-2009.

Man i wished federer brought back the ponytail just one more time before his retirement, and nadal brings back the long shorts and sleeveless shirt. Just iconic looks in sports

I'm a Djokovic fan and this is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen 😮

Now this is a great rally. All shots were well struck! All too often we see these shorts call mediocre rallies great simply because it involves a big name.

Federer lost the point like four times and still won it.

That first backhand slice was really lazy and poorly applied, which is what gave his opponent the initiative in the first place and put Federer at a huge disadvantage in the point. An older Federer would have either hit a big backhand cross court or kept the slice much much flatter. Great to see that, as good as a young Federer was, there are countless little improvements he's kept making throughout the years and that's how he's stayed at the top for so long

Young Federer had amazing defense! His anticipation, footwork and balance made him QUICK!

[shashwattomar]

This is one of the best rallies ever…much better than most top tennis players these days…

[헤헤싀벌줫같네윤석열]

God tell him to play tennis.absolutely stunning

[theol]

The commentators at the end are the thing I love the most : no, oh tell me no 😂

[nitd]

That backhand slice with one hand is a treat to watch!

[miguelangellopez]

Que estilo y elegancia de Federer ya de joven demostraba claramente su talento y además una excelente persona, pero los años pasan para todos....

[Jejdjejbfjf]

The best defence I’ve ever seen. Yes, better than prime Djokovic and Nadal too.
