Top 5 Times Roger Federer Destroyed His Opponents ● Making Grown Men Cry (Probably)

Federer’s backhand is the most beautiful thing in the world.

The best player to have ever played tennis. No one is as mesmerizing and magical as Roger Federer.

The fact that he ddn't even celebrate makes it good, because maybe he's thinking in what the opponent is feeling at the momment,

What a demonstration of the art of tennis! Roger, I will miss you forever!

In full flow there has never been anyone even close...Nick was right when he said you just feel helpless...the demolition was ruthless and those who think Federer was still in his prime past 2009...well look at the difference in the power and movement...the only reason he was still a competitor was because his prime was just miles above anyone else...

Tennis God. Period.

There has never been and there will never be another who plays tennis with this level of brilliance and genius. I think the GOAT debate is meaningless, but for sheer joy in watching something that is this beautiful, this astonishing, Federer is in a class of his own. And I agree with HeisenbergR’s thoughtful comment below. The beauty includes his comportment during and after matches (with v rare exceptions). Went to Indian Wells and saw Federer many times. I stayed after every match, all of which included at a minimum quite a number of moments of this caliber of play, but I stayed to see him sign anything and everything that any child who came down to the courtside asked him to sign. Adults, too, but the emphasis by far was on kids. Very few others saw this, so if it was for PR (other than in a very literal sense of “relations”), it’s hard to see how. Just another special aspect of his greatness.

Miss this kind of tennis

He plays it with so much ease yet it is the most powerful. The cleanest hitter of a Tennis ball.. ❤

greatest athlete of all time. you have other geniuses like messi and jordan but Rogers class is on a different planet. I am 32y and ive never seen anything like that, and I doubt I ever will.

Roger truly is the goat. Watching him play is a sweet experience. Enormous grace.

Others may claim to be No 1 but they will never have the charisma, grace and elegance of Roger, not to mention the exquisite shots that were standard for him. Tennis is just not the same without him.

This match in Halle shows what is a real grass court, not like the joke nowadays called Wimbledon.

This man in his prime years was the best player to ever play the game ,and what made him the greatest was that he lost like a gentleman and one like a gentleman champion a class act beyond beyond Roger you are the greatest ever I don’t care what anyone says I dare to defy anyone to watch this video how wonderful and entertaining it was to watch you do what millions of people do but nobody did it better than you and nobody ever will ?………. The defense rests its case……..

I've said it elsewhere. I'll say it here again.: When RF is "in the zone" he could probably take on any two opponents TOGETHER, and win! He was a once-in-a-lifetime player.

Federer's inside-in forehand should be the 8th wonder of the world

No one else could make anyone they faced feel powerless even if they were playing their best. Peak Federer is peak tennis.

Just the best ever as far as I’m concerned. Glorious to watch.

Roger ❤

My favorite is 4:10 where his body looks like he is going for the diagonal shot but turns the racquet in the other direction when hitting the ball. What a perfect bluff!!!!
