Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic (Twitter)
There have been multiple instances of Roger Federer hitting four aces in a row in an ATP tour match – the one against Novak Djokovic is one of them
A video clip of Roger Federer hitting four consecutive aces against Novak Djokovic has surfaced on the internet. The clip is from the 2014 Shanghai masters when the two stars faced each other in the semi-final stage. Federer eventually won the match in straight sets 6-4, 6-3.
Federer served four aces in a row while leading 4-3 in the first set against the Serbian. The Swiss superstar eventually went on to win the tournament by defeating Giles Simon in the final. However, his semi-final encounter against Djokovic is more vividly remembered thanks to his four back-to-back aces.
Federer produced arguably his best tennis of the 2014 season to upset Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, snapping the two-time defending champion’s 28-match winning streak on Chinese soil.
The video certainly rekindles old memories of Federer fans. Let us take a look at some of the most interesting reactions.
“ALL he needed was ONE but he could not do it…@Wimbledon 2019…& the history of tennis would have been different… definitely .@rogerfederer ‘s legacy WOULD HAVE…”, wrote a fan who clearly still can’t get over Federer’s loss against Djokovic in the final of Wimbledon 2019.
“Why oh why couldn’t we have had one of those @ Wimbledon Final 2019 40-15? Tennis is not tennis without Roger Federer”, wrote another fan, sharing similar thoughts.
Another Federer fan tweeted, “A typical Federer hold looks like this .. game over within no time.”
