Of all of Roger’s victories this will always be the sweetest to me.

2017 was the one last special gift for all of us who grew up watching the Federer-Nadal rivalry until the early hours of morning on our TV. The GOATS.

" Tennis is a tough sport, there is no draws. But if there was gonna be one, I would have been very happy to accept one tonight, and share it with Rafa, really..." - This sentence gives me goosebumps everytime. GOAT(s)

[pallavikhatri]

I come back here when I'm sad. Those final 5-6 games were truly going to be the most joyous tennis memory for a long time.

This was one of the best days of my entire life as a Federer fan. A dream final with a dream ending

[duchungtran]

His backhand is the art on that day, another level, totally unreal
Best backhand performance

[bucanon]

I was there! Was in tears by the end. Tears of happiness. One of the best experiences of my life. Will remember this night forever!

[WivoRN]

Even though that loss still hurts, it'll remain one of the most magical nights in Tennis history.
I believe it helped not only Roger, but Rafa as well to start believing they can win Grand Slams once again.

FEDAL FOREVER!

What a tournament this was from Rafa and Roger. Brought back all of the nostalgia 🔥

[robertocosta]

I would like to thank this channel for putting the whole game into Youtube. Rewatching this game gave me so many emotions. Can't even describe. Thank you, a real lot.

[Incandescence]

I wouldn't have been able to watch this again until he won AO '22, now I can enjoy Federer's glorious aggression- that backhand is doing all sorts of things to me..

[gautamnrao]

Roger's backhand was ruthless. Most of his backhands are generally defensive shots, but in this match, especially the fifth set, Nadal had no answer to Roger's cross court backhands. An incredible comeback from Roger, and one of my favorite matches.

[vijayendranvijay]

Funfact: Roger's BH ground stroke speed was greater than his forehand groundstroke in this match.. Incredible

[FleorB]

i'm gonna miss this guy so much on the Tour. He was class act on his own. I hope he stays involved and over a year of eight we going to see at least one Federer back on the Tour

[frostmelody]

Even watching this game 7 years later knowing the outcome, I still tense up on every point. One of the happiest day of my life.

[sillyhead]

This match was the best day of my life as a sports fan. Everything about it was perfect. Thanks AOTV for uploading the full version so that the officially sanctioned version of the entire match is available for future generations that will now know what older guys like me are talking about when we expound at length about just how magical watching these players was.

[waqasf]

When I feel down I just watch this final & that forehand winner in 5th set makes me heal instantly. Damn my favorite match ever 😍

[pawshands]

I keep watching this very pivotal match. It revived Roger enough to win 2 more before his knee failed him for the lastime. Their historic battle here encapsulates their long and brutal rivalry. Nadal deserves credit for making Roger as great has he continued becoming. A match for history to hold secure.

[jeffreylara]

This was, by far, the best 5-set match that Federer ever played against Nadal. We had not seen a backhand like that from him. So, from this match on, Federer beat Nadal six out of seven matches. The other great match by Fed was his win against Nadal in that great Wimbledon semi-final of 2019. Fed won that one in 4 sets, despite an amazing attempt to come back by Nadal in the latter stages of that 4th set.

[briandtnguyen]

The way Roger completely reinvented his game in 2017 at the age of 35 is astonishing. Overall, his ability to effortlessly hit winners and hit THROUGH the court AFTER the ATP slowed all the courts down is simply out of this world.
