[KooKookid520]

It is so majestic just watching him play, lol.

[captainslowable]

is it only me, that think that if they would have moved the camera a little bit 2 the right, it should be really cool 2 c a tennis match in that camera angle =)

Roger Federer is the samurai of modern times.

[hawaiidispenser]

One thing I learned from this video... hit with a long, out stretched stroke like Fed. Don't get cramped up. Take a step away from the ball and hit with an outstretched arm, full swing.

[cj397]

@hawaiidispenser Just hit out in front of you. you do not need to hit with a straight-arm every time, you can use the elbow-bend if its more natural for you. it's not a "step away" he is just creating the footwork needed to hit the ball out infront to maximize control and racket head speed.

[hawaiidispenser]

@cj397 Well, it sometimes is a "step away", like at 0:04 and 0:20. I was just focusing on creating that proper distance from the ball in those times when the ball is too close to your body. Thanks, but I never said to use a straight arm every time, just an outstretched arm, the opposite of being cramped up. Hitting the ball out in front is definitely good.

[konstantinos20010]

He almost didn't miss a ball.. 

[evilgart]

why does roger look pissed at the beginning? is it because the other guy misses?

[diablomid]

If anyone wants to learn playing tennis and hit with 1 hand backhand, just show them this video.  Beautiful effortless perfect strokes

[kacperwisnia]

4:15 loool ;D

[goitaable]

Good,except right side omitted.

[Androopy1]

can anyone hear a vortex in the background?

[h0olaman]

@Androopy1 yea man...almost non-stop. such an annoying sound

[nikdude99]

Might be wrong but that looks like Rohan Bopanna; Qureshi's doubles partner

[TENDOD]

Good video

Thanks.

[Temoorcoresystem]

who is he hitting with

[federerfan07]

@Temoorcoresystem I think he was practicing with Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, a doubles player.

[nikdude99]

@federerfan07 Might be wrong but that looks like Rohan Bopanna; Qureshi's doubles partner

[federerfan07]

@nikdude99 Yeah a little but it is indeed Qureshi who practiced with Federer that day.

[comeonfederer06]

@Temoorcoresystem He was hitting with a french player ! His name is Josselin Ouanna ! He is not famous in the world but some french knowers can reconnize him !
