How To Beat Roger Federer: A Step By Step Guide

Agree? Disagree? Let me know your thoughts on what it takes to take down the G.O.A.T.

Step 1: be nadal or djokovic Step 2: see step one

I feel like 1% is fairly generous considering I've never played tennis.

The way to beat Roger is to lock him in his hotel so he doesn’t show up and defaults.

Pro tip: give Roger a 40-15 lead, and you’ll be fine.

The only exception to all of these weaknesses was the Neo Fed from 2017. His backhand was inhuman. He was grinding on the baseline. Something just clicked inside of him. I have never seen him so assertive especially in the sunshine doubles, his performance was impeccable

Talks about how deep the guy held his shots v Federer, shows footage of half court shots.

Federer: These mortals at Cult Tennis think it's that easy...

Nadal and Djokovic: 'write that down, write that down.'

No one: Me : Watching the entire video knowing that I will never play against Federer

This channel is heavily underrated and definitely deserves more views

Great analysis and breakdown of feds game. You should do one for Nadal, Djokovic and other players in the top 100. Dont know what other type of vids you can do but applying this style of analysis to other subjects in tennis is entertaining. Keep up the good work!

You forgot the part where I have to travel back in time to about age 4 and then spend the next 15 years training on the tennis court whenever I'm not eating or sleeping. 🤣

That 1 percent though was on point. 😂😂

2:59 Bruh Roger's face when Guillermo Canas is ecstatically patting him on the back is just utter disappointment and gloom, he's like "no, if I had to lose to Nadal, Djokovic I'd accept that, even against Kyrgios, but not this guy" 😂🤣

Step one: Give him Novak Step two: Give Roger 40-15 Game Over for Roger

The racquet change was 2015- the colour changed in 2017 This is why there’s an argument for 2017 to be Federer’s peak- yes his forehand/movement was superior in his “peak” years but actually in the first half of 2017 his backhand improvements gave him an even more complete baseline game and he was more effective coming forwards than ever. Admittedly his backhand hasn’t ever reached those heights again but it’s now a far more offensive shot and a real weapon when he’s playing good (5-1 against Nadal since 2015, and 5-0 on grass/hard courts) his volleys remain incredible and he still gets a huge amount of cheap points with serve and volley- even on clay. The one shot that hasn’t changed (for better or worse) over the years is his serve, he hits it at exactly the same average speed (123mph) and still can dominate with it...

Federer’s backhand in the past 3 years has improved inexplicably, no longer his weak shot. Watch Australian Open 2017, Nadal literally couldn’t keep up with his backhands the whole match, same goes for Wawrinka in the semis.

I’d like to add one here. You should’ve good passing shots in your arsenal. Federer likes to come to the net at crunch times to close the point quickly and that is where one needs to score. Novak has been doing this for years now. Also Federer doesn’t like rallies, so try to keep him in one and you can squeeze an unforced error

The mental strength and his ability to stay in the zone for miraculous duration of time outweighs all his weaknesses.
