Seeing Federer raise his level here after such a shitty 2013 was so refreshing as a super young kid just beginning to follow him. This tournament was probably the best he played since like 2012 Indian Wells or even earlier
The main conclusions I can make comparing this match to their match in 2012 AO is that: - Federer is more aggressive and hitting the ball harder, and - Murray is lot worse after his back surgery and his backhand is nowhere near as hard and flat. That's the difference between Murray winning in 5 and Federer winning in 4. Massive margins shifting there.
I feel like you can see the first pieces of neo federer in 2014 15 and 16 with the improvements on the backhand and the increased aggression on return. Super interesting to see- thanks for the upload!
Great to see it back online! Any chance you could also re-upload the matches vs Anderson, Wimbledon 2018 and Berdych Wimbledon 2017? You had a lot of good ones on the old channel, shame we can't watch all of them.
