Roger Federer Repertory: The Forehand

[vantoxX45]

The art of Federer, the only one that can perfect the forehand shot

[OYECHAKKDE]

Magical.

[dugu9999]

i can watch this all day

[Fernandez218]

Ludovico Einaudi's "Primavera" and Federer's tennis make for a beautiful combination. i thumbed you up 'looneYeah'. nice video 'nver'!

[woazar]

this isn't the most beautiful thing in tennis. This is the most beautiful thing in any sport.

[psynt555]

breathtaking

[KnightmareZ011]

he makes me want to be the best even though i know it will never happen considered i just started playing at 14, but i can try

[durgapras]

What an amazing compilation.Thanks to nver.It catches up as it nears the end.

Gifted racquet head speed.Kudos Master !!!

[ufo1357]

His eyes are just fixed on the contact point like forever

[marcopolio421]

I think 2012 could be his greatest year! He finally played like the Federer of old this fall....

[marcopolio421]

The Greatest Ever!!!

[kostenis]

hey guys I'm aiming to become a top tennis player. Come watch me playing on my channel and tell me what you think thank you :)

[gaboalejo123]

PLEASE I KNOW THIS IS HARD OR MAYBE DUMB BUT PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE COULD YOU REMAKE THIS VID WITH LATEST FEDERER FOREHANDS ITS BEEN ALMOST 4 YEARS SINCE THIS VID JUST THINK ABOUT IT :D

[cynthiamty]

Just PeRFect!!!

[napleee]

This video should be 10 hours long

[ssj2vegeta9000]

Beautiful masterpiece, both the music and the forehand. Amazing how soft instrumental fits so well with the most gracefully aggressive athlete in the world.

[Christian200773]

The most beautiful and inpiring tennis video I've ever seen

[samurinannie]

Fed' forehand not the same another in the world !!

[meettheturc]

Technically perfect forehand groundstrokes delivered with God-given sense of timing.

[dejanrudak]

1:44 !!!

[Zoso666]

Definitely the best gift in tennis history, Roger Federer's forehand. Thank you for this

[patryklau]

what is so awesome is how calm is facial expression is when hitting those big shots.. compare them to other top players, their faces are always distorted

[manco82]

Rafael Nadal has down-voted this video 8 times.

[Birchtreeguy]

@manco82 Is that why Nadal leads their head-to-head 17-8? I'm not hating on Fed cause I love him, but this comment is stupid when Nadal has beat him more than twice the amount of times he lost to Fed.

[PianoPlayingMonkey]

The Greatest Athlete. 

[MrINA5]

I aspire to be Roger Federer, not in tennis - but in my general life.

[champion1642]

When Super Slomo was first introduced in Tennis, Federer couldn't get enough of watching himself in slomo, cos he looked so good!

[darnsfdj]

He's mine and my sons idol..greatest ever player to date in my eyes, my son hopefully will achieve great things like he has, check him out just turned 5yrs old and its like its effortless for him!!

[4Ventus]

The Best of the Best.

[manco82]

Whenever they slow down the Nadal forehand, he always has this ugly contorted face. Yuck!

[manco82]

That one at 3:16 defies description.

[181erob]

You can't make a video like this of Nadal or Djokovic, no matter how good they are.  Fluidity and elegance such as this belongs only to Fed.

[Jackothespacko]

Anyone, forehand at 3:16? Is this his first wimbledon final in 2003 or which match is it? :)

[MrChiffy]

my fave is at 4:00...no head movement utter concentration...i'm roger federer..and you're not...now fuck off

[MrChiffy]

Fed ...goddam...thumbs up if you're frigging dying to see him win another major or two before the very sad day when he hangs up his racquet. i'm 38, in my lifetime i've seen arguably ( arguably...haters back off) the greatest in most sports....jordan in basketball, gretzky in hockey, woods in golf etc...but hands down...the greatest who ever did it was the mighty Fed... nadal is brute force..fed is a poem that never stops rhyming

[MysteriousStealthMan]

@MrChiffy I love Federer and Nadal, they influenced me, I dunno when I'll see a day with a rivalry this good. Nadal is like a warrior, fights with his heart and passion. Federer is graceful, and has perfect form and everything. I love both of these guys! Federer and Nadal, you guys are great.

[jdude1357114]

When Federer retires I'm not sure that I will watch tennis as much as I do now. I hope that he can get another grandslam before then.

[TomTrix99]

Federer does not just play tennis when he is on the court, he creates art.

[jaitock1991]

People have to stop talking of him as if he's no longer GOAT. For nothing but natural reasons, he sure is on the decline, but he will FOREVER be the GOAT, no matter what anyone after him will manage to achieve. And watching videos like this one, explains us all exactly why that is!!

[ipnsienrar]

wooooooooooww!!!!!, amazing video, Federer is the best!

[jantisoy]

When Federer retires, it's the END of the Eastern Forehand... ///.T

[pedrozzzzzzz099]

@jantisoy no man you got young grigor dimitrov and the talented tomic using it!

[TheBORIS7777777]

Roger Forever

[kiidzero]

truly the most beautiful forehand in the game.

[ShinTensity]

Andy Murray voted 8 times

[rebelian7]

@nver Of all of the tennis videos on Youtube, this one is by far my favorite. I've learned so much from seeing Roger's form in this video, but more than anything, the person who put this masterpiece together deserves props for sheer artistry. I really appreciate this video, and I thank you for making it so wonderfully :)

[shouron2]

classical sports, classical music, amazing man

[sultanabran1]

I don't like how he makes impossible shots look easy. I don't like how he makes hitting winners from behind the baseline, after running around his backhand, look like it's a sure winner.

[Jackothespacko]

Can someone help me? The slow-mo forehand at 3:15, please can you give me details? I can see it's wimbledon and he's using the racquet from 2004-6, but i can't find a specific year or match. Thanks! :)

[infiniteobscure]

@Jackothespacko 2009? final vs Andy R. maybe

[Jackothespacko]

@infiniteobscure Thanks, I thought it looked like he's using the old N-code racquet though, and I thought the ponytail went around 2004! Haha, thanks again though :)

[zhengyucui]

do you think you can make this again with even more clips and higher quality?

[llounge84]

nice job "nver". great vid!!

[davidkim9304]

people watch this every day at least 10 times!!!

this video must reach over 1 million views!!!

[23viktor23]

i'm a Nadal fan but all i gotta say now is: Roger is legend :D

[s900203]

Doing this is one thing, but doing it with a 90 sq in racquet...it's just out of this world.

[qzpmwxonqzpm]

@s900203 Actually, Wilson makes the Tour for Roger at 88 sq in. :) Even better!

[LAKSITH666]

Didn't blink for 5 mins.... Amazing Forehands !!

[Chris16Tc]

Me: Hey mommy i'll be right back!

Mom: Don't forget to say bye to your father!

Me: I'll be quick I just have to go kill 7 people

Mom: well make it quick, i'm getting tired of this shit

[iaicy]

Sheer brilliance! He leaves you in awe <3

[simplexoptimus1]

Guys, Music please... does anyone know????....

[andyhebit]

@simplexoptimus1 see the description mate .......

Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi

[MrVanKelly]

@simplexoptimus1 Ludovico Einaudi - Primavera  GREAT PIANIST

[sultanabran1]

I don't know if it's the music or what, but I love his backhand and I thought his backhand was the most graceful stroke in tennis. But his forehand.... poetry.

[Moheet24]

Is it weird that I just orgasmed from watch a man hitting a tennis ball? My god, that's a sick forehand. I would kill to hit like that, and consistently.

[looneYeah]

when sport becomes art.

[mlks007]

@looneYeah

true

[looneYeah]

@looneYeah who's got the top comment, who who who

[davowavo1000]

I love how undramatic he is, making barely any sound and forehands that are going 90mph+ but the way he moves and the shape of his strokes he could be just rallying on a practice court

[honestyize]

Why do Roger and beautiful music go so well with each other? Put Nadal with this type of music and you'll be laughing... with Roger it almost brings a tear to your eye!

[Jezzeboy1928]

@honestyize It's because we all respect him so much and love his wonderful personality as well. That does the job for me.

[simplexoptimus1]

Music Please??.....

[samda1]

loove this video

[TheMightyMicto]

So fantastic :D

[Chonysf]

1:45 perfection

[thesponge8]

4:40 "aw scary"

AMAZING...

[dodododa]

His forehand is different these days. More loopy. It's very sad.

[DosK5495]

he makes it look so fuckin easy. . .

[afsaldurranihotmail]

guys who want to learn tennis on and off the field just watch roger it cant get better than this he is d ultimate for d game no other roger will be born and no one could replace him he is d ultimate legend of d game

[ludwig1300]

amazing!

[rooksaiz]

The only thing quite decently from Federer is his "Come on", however what's different from my "Come on" and his "Come on" is that when I use it, I use it when my tennis ball doesn't come in, which is most of the time. :P

[nalbandianfan09]

i have 30 of this videos total views. beautiful

[risingphoenix86]

I feel bad for all the opponents that got owned.

[thesponge8]

@risingphoenix86 so basically you feel bad for all other tennis players, and really bad for andy roddick

[cj397]

may i have a link to download? i will not copy nor steal the video in anyway. i want it for private use, i want to keep it around just in case it gets deleted here on youtube

this is one of the most amazing vids i've ever seen

thanks

[risingphoenix86]

@cj397 Dude, that's easy, there r plenty of sites that let you download videos off youtube. for instance keepvid.

[14bcousy]

@cj397 It won't let me watch on my iphone, says the author of the video does not allow play back. I also tried to download this video to put it on my phone and it cannot be downloaded either.

[cj397]

@14bcousy youtube video downloader :P

[grandemika]

Superb. The forehand of a Genius.

[CyznK]

omg this film is really well maked

[BrngBckOldCOB]

This really shows a man who is completely focused with no self imposed limitations and fears.  That and perfect form and fundamentals.

[fedex19912000]

Federers forehand is sick!!

Tried copying him as a kid, watch my latest vid and see if you can tell

[katelynunwinlv]

Did you make this?

I was completely engrossed.

[hyperwarrior]

I'm sure Roger has seen this video and proud of it!!!

[nver]

@hyperwarrior really hope so!! :))

[speackels16]

absolutely superb 

[fatman93186]

fuck the music

[alexhungtx]

This video helped me a lot. 

[jenni15f]

WOW! Nadal is SOOO good!

[terrigaltennis]

He seems for the most part able to move his body into a position where his arm can take the most powerful and perfect swing. Amazing!

[rageneox]

Even unforced errors look visually flawless.

[chrismf105]

Great video. No wonder the maestro generates so much power, the mechanics of his forehand emulates the motion of a trebuchet. Trebuchets are things they used in medieval times to breach castle walls in sieges.

[Kiser153]

i actually learn more on this vid than my school's tennis coach... he sucks(coach)

[franma0524]

thumbs up for 1:20 play

[OreosRG0od]

You need epic music such as this when you hit a Federer forehand.

[pisin300]

@OreosRG0od Couldn't agree more!

[TennisCoachTV]

I've spent years studying this guy. His footwork and technique are almost perfect and now teach it to my students

[HuangdoodleIII]

this is better than porn

[THURBER1994]

at 1:57 the ball looks like it is just sitting on a tee for him to crank a winner

[Fernandez218]

@THURBER1994 i think that's how Federer sees every single ball. sitting on a tee, waiting for him to hit a winner!

[srinath0810]

1:45-2:00 _/\_ _/\_

[cj397]

Very deep, penetrating forehands fed usually uses, that's attacking tennis. nadal's is used to put pressure on the opponent mostly their backhand, though rafa can def drive and penetrate the court well when needed. If you notice guys, roger looks at the BACK of the racket face on contact, seeing the ball THROUGH the strings, not looking at the ball in front of the racquet.

[FilipinoFTW]

@cj397 or he is just looking at the ball and keeping his head still so as not to lose balance

[Occhiodiargento]

El profesor te puede enseñar, pero del maestro se aprender. Asi que miren bien.

[pimpindunk9611]

Poetry in motion

[FedExpress66]

I feel sorry for the A Rod, he's on the end of a lot of these shots

[FedExpress66]

@jpelegante You're right there, I just don't think his forehand is in the same league.

[kousseye155]

7 people are nadal fans.

[titan1x]

such an amazing video..and such an incredible song..i had to buy it!

[pimpindunk9611]

the most beautiful stroke in the history of tennis. Roger Federer, simply the best ever

[danial1919]

2:43 "COMMON ON" No one does it better than federer..

[tennis4evva]

Let me tell you, I've always been a hardcore Nadal fan,

But who in hell could dislike this video?

[eSQuiR3]

1:46 peRFection

[ste90milano]

@eSQuiR3 True peRFection

[mignik01]

if there ever was a man who hasn't played a single ugly shot, it is Roger Federer.

[LaPerssonandro]

Did you do this video yourself?

Cause it's awesome.

[INARollins5]

THE greatest player of all time

[DestroyerAlexandros]

Andy Murray voted 7 times

[jaitock1991]

@DestroyerAlexandros

No. Wrong. 8 times.

[flatballrule]

There are big different between Nadal and Federer's forehand... Federer keeps his head down.. which allow him to hit the ball little more lower than Nadal's... if you watch federer's forehand.. it has lots of spin, but doesn't hit like all the spanish players... his body stays down very well...

[manco82]

3:17 = Nuclear detonation.....

[Jacoulm]

Grâce, efficacité... Le summum de la maîtrise technique. Pure art. Slendid music as well.

[GokuAsakura]

Federer = God

[raikahoken]

truly a work of art

[rubix0110]

magic at 1:54. It's like he wills the ball in any direction.

[Abbasi123456789]

Before 2009 hitting anything to the Federer Forehand was suicidal. This video shows why. Definitely one of the best forehands in the history of the sport.

[flyuktw852]

so cool!

[grifissifirs]

to look at this video is like to get drunk...plenty of technics...no words...now in my bedroom I'm trying to emulate him, also jumping...yes I'm crazy

[469887ful]

nice

[atixheli]

Beautyiful music 

[OreosRG0od]

His forehand and backhand are the two most beautiful shots I've ever seen.

[JMBelief1]

3:36 smoothest forehand in the video :)

[endlesswonder]

the clip at 1:45 makes it seem as if the ball just stopped in place as federer goes for his forehand

[Gunthix209]

This video is brilliant. Both Federer and Nadal are great players, but i'd rather watch an elegant and soft Federer tennis video than a rock metal power Nadal video.

[lazykrnboijr]

@Gunthix209 i like both :D

[13Igorfm]

A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does.

[mignik01]

I'll grant you whatever u say about Nadal. I'll even concede that he is the best at the moment. But for sheer beauty, nadal is a 1000 miles behind federer. I'll buy a compilation of federer's shots for a hundred quid over a compilation of Nadal shots which is for free, any day of the week

[radioxxflyer]

Never fails to move me this video. This video for me is like a highlight of what was. To think now in the media federer is just a has been, struggling to hold a torch to the rest of the field. Its almost unfair, considering the evidence we just watched above, to be considering nadal in the same breath, let alone contemplating the tragedy of rogers GS record being eclipsed by him someday.

[DonxRaul]

@radioxxflyer agreed bro & that's exactly what we saw today in London, because we saw a man who has gone well pass his prime, ageing fast and is apparently not on nadal's lvl. Yet Beat a young, so called GOAT, who's apparently has a better FH & BH then Federer and is in his prime. It's funny how people miss the point. Federer only wins now cuz of his overwhelming Talent & is the ture GOAT, cuz he wins against ageing. That's he's real enemy now not nadal or any-other & nadal will never do that

[iOnlySignIn]

His forehand is between Sampras's (neoclassic) and Nadal's (postmodern). The perfect modern forehand.

[hhsin821202]

what's the name of the song??

[moodood1]

@hhsin821202 I'm going to come out and tell you. I *will* tell you that you find the name of the song and it's creator on this page, you don't have to go to earlier comments or anything. It's on this page.

[hhsin821202]

what's the name of the song??

[farhannius]

1.45 is like a bird stretching its wings

[Stormkynsperk]

at 3:15 genius slow motion!!!!!

[69wiwi69]

wow his forehand is so elegant, I've never seen any other player having such a perfect technique...

It looks more smooth and natural than other player.

It's amazing that one player can be so superior in technique than other pro players.

When federer will retire tennis will lose 50% of its interest.

beautiful music and editing btw

[jzbo1]

damn..look how long his head stays down to look where the ball is. such discipline! :)

[niltash]

nadal is good but federer is out of this world. please we can't compare them.

[DarthCho]

Best forehand ever!!

[PensiveIntent]

federers shots have a slightly different sound if u listen closely... more of a crack... almost like a lightning clap.

[JibJibran]

Search "Hitler upset with Federer Nadal" on youtube. It's funny lol!

[raxfourteen]

Just watching this guy, you'll know for sure that he received an unfair and ridiculous amount of talent to fit his (seemingly) human body . A Ludovico Einaudi piece is perfect for his movements for crying out loud! I mean, who else could fit that bill?

[rayyantennis]

Forget tennis lessons, just watch feds videos..

[ribsnorter]

@rayyantennis cant agree more ...that is exactly what i do :-)

[Nixuxfly]

The song is Ludovico Primavera

[Nixuxfly]

Roger Federer is only the best of the best just like the movie hahaha!!! Nadal is good to but Federer is the one forever and ever!!!

[rerebill11]

not just his forehand but his whole game just makes tennis look like an art

[MacHoodio]

Great work make, one of the best edited sports videos i've seen. Top marks, watch it with a smile every time.

[MrChiffy]

this video is sick

[wind1357]

federer is perhaps the smartest tennis player alive. I can honestly say no one call use the eastern forehand as great as him for a long time. I'm just waiting for another genius who can use the semi-western since no one really excel like federer with that grip. Perhaps del potro ... Of course western forehand grip is all nadal

[FairwayJack]

Roger won...Roger has lost ...Roger will win again. Amen
