Roger Federer OWNED Prime Novak Djokovic At This Tournament!

Just to be clear…Prime means different things to different people, but to me it is basically the period of time where they are athletically and technically at or near their peak !
Obviously within this period there might have instances where it's clear there are dips due to injury but mostly these are big 4 « primes »
Federer : 2004-2012
Nadal: 2008-2014
Djokovic : 2011-2016
Murray: 2010-2017
It doesn't mean that outside this gap of time they were bad or whatever not at all but more like those were the days where they were at the very top of their game !

PS: Not to forget that people might use the term "peak" which to me is more like a year, or can be a tournament where one player is playing the very best he could possibly play...2006 Fed, 2011 nole, 2010 rafa for exemple

Sir Roger federer golden legend in universal love you so much miss you so much teniss history best player ❤❤❤

Raz Ols love you so much ❤❤❤

can you upload a very underestimate match that is federer vs djokovic dubai 2007 ?

Very balanced rivalry !

Love this rivalry !

I prefer this rivalry than the Fedal one !

🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

At an ATP 500

Roger on top BOOM BOOM form, taking it to prime Djokovic and showing the world the range of his amazing skill, athleticism and court-craft, his artistry and pure inspired play will live for all time, his brilliance is timeless !

Just a tease of what could have been if hard courts were this fast.

RF on fast surfaces is totally nightmare to weak era champ Djokovic

Great quality. The tennis tv version of these highlights has a weird low quality fuzz to it for some reason

Federer OWNED prime Djokovic here? 🤣 Talk about delusional and biased, Raz Ols takes the cake

Oh my goodness, absolute highest quality tennis, spectacular from both, so exciting. I love this rivalry too as much as Fedal.

No disrespect, but the H2H is misleading. Federer still kept a positive score against Djokovic even after 2014 in best of 3. His main issue was best of five, where Djokovic dominated most of the times, but there were also instances like WB 14 and 19, where the match was dead equal or Federer was even the better player, the main difference being the stamina factor. Federer was also unfortunate to face the best of Djokovic, for example had Federer a slump in Slams from 2014-16, the h2h would be equal. Federer lost a lot of teritory, because he was still good enough to make the slam finals even in his 30’s. We still had the higher level, but could not keep it for that much long.

Rog is the best in real fast courts. This one and Cincy were the only that keep the fast surface through the years and its not a coincidence there are the places where RF had played so well even against prime Djoko (Dubai 14,15 and Cincy 12, 15)

Damn not even tennis tv uploads in this video quality

Yes! Faster courts would be great...though I don't care so much now that Fed's done. 🥲

Otherwise – thanks for great highlights, Raz! I especially liked the idea of stitching the two finals together. 😀👍🏽

One can never sustain in imagination how good Federer actually was. Until we see something like this again....

Man, Rog was so clutch in the 2015 match. Oof!

Masterclass! 👍😍

Raz GOATing with this upload 👍

Don't forget 2012 cincinnati finals.😉

There is a better match if you are looking where Federer folded djokovic...and it was also prime djokovic. 2012 Cinncinatti final, Federer folded djokovic 6:0

2014 and 2015 was another golden time for both Federer and djokovic😢

The thing with the big 3 is like they aren't far away in being better it's very close, sure Djokovic is the goat blah blah, but isn't like he's that much better than Federer or Nadal.

You Federer fans have been playing the age card since 2010 when he was only 28 djokovic and Nadal are just better players sorry

The level of tennis is very high among these, the kings of the hard courts, goats

“commeth the hour, commeth the man”

missing RF😢

Thank you ❤! And Roger owns him in many more ways as well including most loved, most popular, most iconic! Long live the GOAT King Roger, King of the court, ENTIRE court not just the baseline!❤❤❤

Some or all of Roger's records might get broken eventually but his playing style was much more beautiful than the baseliners and I dont think anyone will beat that

Federer backhand (not slice) is a treat to watch
It's purely aesthetic

It never fails to rack me up that Djokovic just couldn't handle "old" Roger's game on a fast hard court. IIRC he beat Roger 1 time in Dubai, 1 time in Cincy and 0 times in Shanghai.

Federer was a fun player to watch. Djokovic is just the better all-around player though.

Fed fans make their own happiness. Bragging about him winning in Mickey Mouse tournament while simultaneously getting owned in every important moment by Nole is peak Fed fan logic. This is almost as shameless about bragging that Federer was a solid 1-4 against Novak in 2011 at the “old” age 29. Nole let him this one cuz he felt bad, just like he did in 2019 ATP finals.

i struggle to understand why roger had any trouble with djokovic but he did roger had all this ability and djokovic was a baseline shootout player(boring) i am just a tennis fan but it was puzzling

He isn’t that consistent in 2014

费德勒的打法真的符合道家用力的理念，以柔克刚，刚柔并济。

But counting fairly (from 2013 and on, Federer is somewhat plagued by injuries, while Djokovic is in his prime),
we should count only matches before 2013, changing the score to:
Djokovic: 12
Federer: 17

Excluding maybe the two first years where Djokovic was perhaps not at his prime yet, and start counting at 2008, when Djokovic wins his first grand slam final over Federer, the head to head statistic becomes more even, but favouring The Greatest Of All Time, Federer:
Head to Head fairly counted, 2008-2012
Djokovic: 11
Federer: 12

How can I be this glued to a match played years ago and I can't spend 3 minutes to watch any match today? There's a problem with my taste buds!!

Poor Fakesurgeryovic. These courts are just too fast for him

Roger does well in best of 3 even after 2014/15...The real problems were in Grand Slams...He plays well till the end of the 3rd set...His real chance of beating Djokovic was in 4 sets otherwise it's over...

Today i watched most of the AO highlights, including great players like Alcaraz, Zverev and Sinner. Now i watched Roger in this video! His game is in a totally different dimension 🎾🎾
Too bad that we can't enjoy him nowadays 😢

I just loved Roger he is by far my favourite tennis player ever.He had style and technique like no others.

Prime Roger had the better of Novak. Novak ran up numbers after Roger was 33+ y/o.

Best by a mile on faster courts even when he was older and slower. Shame there were so few of them at that point.
