Roger Federer - Two Squash Passing Shots

[ZimmermanTelegram]

First one is a sick, sick shot.

[tennissmarts]

amazing. simply amazing.

[RoberTastic]

greatest shot in history of the sport?

[federerbestcIass]

@RoberTastic Not really

[fastmilion]

PURE TOUCH

[draco092]

Can somebody please shut the fuck up that bloody chinese!?!?!?

[misterlonely1446]

@draco092 how about you shut the fuck up =) And if you really want her to stop talking, just mute the volume. I mean seriously, is it really that hard?

[draco092]

@misterlonely1446 How about you taking a valium pal? I want the match sound..not a stupid commentator who doesn't know that talking in the middle of a tennis point isn't a very polite idea..

[seidl01]

are you guys fucking kidding?? the first one is pure brilliance...which guy on the tour comes up with such a sqash shot winner except fed

[lystellion]

The first shot is not a passing shot.

Those are hit past an opponent at the net.

That, of course, doesn't take away from the brilliance of them both.

[eristavi89]

0:50 - messi in argentina shirt ? :D

[JoshDando]

i miss this federer <3

[mightyfedepxress]

I know people are going to disagree, but the first shot was more amazing personally.

[demondayzzz]

@mightyfedepxress well the first one he uses nalb's pace but it was still ridiculous. however for the second one I still have no idea how he did it, and i haven't seen anything like that before or since.

[hattrickster33]

The first one is just a big slice forehand, but only Federer can do it like that!

[lazios]

2 no??? Fucking idiots.

[jjbspon]

how could he make the first shot like this ? i have never seen a shot like that one in tennis before..

[someperson319]

lol I did that shot once in a practice match only not nearly as good....it was still pretty cool :P

[polipoli7]

i did the same as the first one.but no one can do the second one roger did

[ryanrenesis]

Hes so cool. Seriously.

[BrotherTree1]

that second shot was possibly the best ever hotdog. i think its better than the one he did at us open 09 against djoko.

[daemonturk]

@BrotherTree1 yeah, he's better than he is now...

[ghfreakwierdo123]

@BrotherTree1 wait hot dog meaning tweener or just pass from an opponents lob? Cuz this one wasnt between his legs.

[eclecticist0]

@BrotherTree1 that shot probably looked more amazing than the one he hit at USO 2009, but in terms of difficulty, the one he hit against djokovic was harder. balls bounce higher and slower on clay, so he had more time to get to the shot, whereas at the USO on hard court the ball was moving away fast.

[furyofyuri]

@BrotherTree1 it wasn't a hot dog. Federer hit it last minute near his left knee.



[valerioevonde]

great reaction by Nalbandian's fans.

[GregH0use]

Its only me or Fed is using a 1h backhand grip on the las slow motion replay to make that passing shot with his forehand?

[jack89ts]

i noticed it,too.tha'ts the only way to produce such a difficult shot,and certainly the correct one.i use this technique when i desperately have to get the ball and i'm in a bad position that doesn't allow me to put any spin on the ball or whatsoever.of course,often i don't obtain the same results as roger,neither do i make shots like the one in the video,but i'm working on it :)

[mxmus08]

The reason why these shots, though not easy to execute in the heat of battle, seem ridiculous, is that Federer used to play squash. He bviously hasn't lost the touch and it helps alot with the flicked wrist shots that he produces.

[bamibalboy]

who is he playing to? i cant see his face

[Fernandez218]

Nalbandian

[bamibalboy]

oh i see:P

[Fernandez218]

you should! it's in the "more info" section :P

[bamibalboy]

woops xD

[Fernandez218]

actually, if *you* watch enough professional tennis then Nalbandian's face is unforgettable. Actually, I take that back; you don't even need to see his face. His play style is one-of-a-kind on the ATP tour.

[bamibalboy]

>.> i rather play tennis then watch it xD but i liek watchin it to ofc but i dont know, i didnt recognize him

[Turijakobas]

This is ridicilous....go ROG!

[bobomber]

nobody else could have made those shots. nobody.

[CotiSABALERO]

The movement of his legs is perfect

[RockyPeeters008]

yeah the second one is spectacular, but the first one is insane. That was an actual backhand winner from Nalbandian, and Federer turns it into a winning point. Insane.

[Team3xtreme]

Awesome

[RubinJayJay]

the second one is one of those shots, we should be so thankful to witness!!

we live in an era where we have person who can produce such shots...we also call that federermoments^^

[HellRaiser51]

WOW!!!! He hits awesomely 1# player in universe

[Pray4RF]

these shots were just unbelievable =)

the second one was just his brilliance and genius ;)

thx for this

[burnss44]

wow great stuff,would it be possible for you to upload some other highlights of this match?:)

[vincentbadminton]

(the chinese commentators suck ==")

[demondayzzz]

[RubinJayJay]
