The backhand. OMG! Only saw it that good again in 2017.
what does he say to blake at the end there?
Federer was definitely on fire, he owned Blake throughout his career.
Prime Federer here. Federer from 2004 – 2007 is the greatest tennis player of all time hands down.
Blake actually played very well during this match, but it was against Federer, and it was 2006š. A year where he reigned like a Titan.
Poor Blake, he played some powerful strokes that would've defeated most top class players but Federer had an answer for everything and could defend and attack with such elegant ease. No wonder Blake was exasperated.
"What do you do? You can see the despair on Blake's face!" Epic commentary šāļø
You can see Federer laughing a little bit after that rip snorter of a backhand at 2:35. Even he feels sorry for Blake that he's got no chance.
it was played in asia?
What the fuckā¦
This is the best forehand in tennis ever
Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.
Could 2011 Djokovic beat this Federer?
Never grow tired of watching this. Surely one of the greatest match that federer had. I initially thought the backhand of ao 2017 would be his top performance, but, man, his backhand here against blake was something else. So many winners from behind the baseline. I understand just how frustated blake was, because he really didn't play bad, it's just federer was at his really best day.
On a fast hard court, no one is beating this Federer period. Anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my ass.
Prime Fedex, UNBEATABLE. This is the highest level that any tennis player can reach. GOAT
This was first federer match I watched and it was just unreal.
Masterful performance.
not a single point won by Blake in these highlights…
Federer is something specialšš»Good retirement champ! šš„š„
Jeysus that backhand rally at 2:42 is insane… they are both hitting the ball proper hard.
Really?!
You're not gonna include Federer's half-volley baseline flick winner at 6-0 1-1?
I mean… Who edited this 'highlights' video?!
The best tennis match in the history!
I truly believe this is the highest level of tennis ever played.
Some shots were amazing but this match was also evidence of the weak opposition during some of these years
Perfect match from the GOAT
Who is this terrific commentator?
2011 and 2015 nole clears
This is probably the highest level of tennis a human being has ever reached.
dude dresses like basketball player
how Federer did beat this monster who won nothing in his entire career?
Little trip down memory lane, watched all of it live when it happend, Blake was one of those unlucky guys who had to go against greatest player ever in his prime, Blake tried everything left he's soul on court, Federer on other hand come in that final streight from even better semifinal match against prime Nadal, it was pretty much lights out for every man that season, only Nadal put up resistance.
Tho he essentially didnāt have to, Djokovic never reached this level of offensive domination and humiliation/toying.
Blake played awesome. Nobody could have beaten federer that day
The highlights don't give Blake justice. He was a tremendous player and no pushover at all. And in fact he played a great match here. He was absolutely firing everything back, no holding back.
But Federer… well he played his best tennis ever on that day.
0:51 He is an Alien!
Wow
Listen to the commentator at 1:00. This is in 2006. Long before he broke the old Sampras majors record. And here's the commentator, confidently stating that Federer is someone who "lifted the sport to a new level of excellence". True greatness isn't in statistics. It's felt when witnessed. As early as 2004, Federer was considered by many the greatest to ever play. That's how much better than anyone who'd come before he played back then.
This was the peak of tennis.
