  1. The athletes know who the greatest of all time is. Federer reached the highest level of tennis and that's why they keep referencing 05 and 06 Fed. Love these team talks

  2. “You’re playing like Fed” and “Roger would be proud” says more about Federer’s greatness and impact on today’s game than anything.

  3. If you watch the extended highlights of 2005 US Open Final against Agassi, you'll see that version of Federer was the great tennis player of all time.

  4. Like Sampras, people forget how dominant Federer's serve could be on any given day. Federer had the most all around, all-court game ever seen.

  5. Lets all just remember that it doesnt matter how well he plays in the laver cup he lossed the gold medal and the chance for 3 slams this year….fukkkking laver cuo gimme a break 😅😅

  6. The LC should be every 2-3 years. The way these guys laugh and joke like its an exhibition match is so lame. You can tell theyd rather win an ATP 500 tournament than this circus.

  7. 2005-2010 Federer reached 18 of 19 grand slam finals in a row and won 3 of 4 slams the year before. Not even Novak or Nadal reached a peak as high as 18 of 19 slam finals in succession. However, opponents do fear Alcaraz like Federer, neither is playable at their peak best – I will give him that. Federer and Alcaraz win hitting winners, unstoppable when their game is on and sustained and opponents can’t stop it. That’s why Alcaraz has so much appeal. Same reason the majority of fans and even casual fans love and enjoy Federer over the other 2 of the big 3. Nadal and Novak they win, IN GENERAL, by not making errors and wait for opponents to eventually make errors, no fear factor just a lot of doubt if you have enough to penetrate their defense.

  8. Lord.. they didn’t need to make Ben’s head ANY more inflated. 🤦🏾‍♂️😆
    Didn’t Shelton only win like, ONE more game after this changeover?
