i would luv to face fed, nadal or roddicks serves... i obviously know it would be difficult to return.. yea you probably would even return the ball.... but do you reall think it would be SCARY??? facing fed roddick nadal serves? i would luv to take it on..
In college, I faced a few guys who served 120+ (back in the 80s that was smokin'). The thing is if you guess wrong, the ball is buy you faster than a blink of an eye. Now, at 135, 140, I can only imagine that there is no time to react. Also, trying to return a 100+ mph second-serve can't be easy either. However, if you get the timing down and can read the serve, it's not to bad if you shorten your swing and block - the return can be lighting fast if your timing is right.
you wouldn't of commented back if you didn't care! Whats wrong with dreaming? Dreams are free... And just because you would wimp out if you had the CHANCE to face Federer... thats not my problem.. you just need to harden up... I would take them on.
yes there is something called a foot fault. You cannot touch the line before you hit the ball...you can jump and cross the line and be in mid air while you are hitting the ball though...and then land inside the court...
wanna ask a qus here, up till now im still not really sure if there is a foot fault during serve..... is there foot fault? when u serve u cannot have ur feet stepped on the line rite? or can u?
"you´re human!"....wow....didn´t you realized it yet???
He´s an Alien, pretending sometimes to be human, I´m convinced he´s not from this world....
Oh and by the way when he loses against Nadal he´s pretending to be "inperfect"too, he HAS to lose to someone time to time......but no Roger, you´re BUSTED, you ALIEN!!!!
If I were his coach, I try to encourage close practices; not sure that's possible but practice needs to be private for concentration and warm-ups may be public or something like that. Federer needs to get himself a reallly good coach.
lols hahaha *starts to spar with federer does an upper cut to his federer dodges then uses is his backhand skills to slap me in the face with an instant KO*

Sorry if this might anger the Federer Fan Club on this page, BUT, I really think his best tennis behind him. I don't see him EVER winning at Roland Garros (this is his last chance for sure!) but he may win one more Wimby and possibly one more US or Aussie. THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
Right now, he is not playing like he played the australian open. I've seen his shots on tv, and it looks as if he is not hitting the ball with confidence, although his serve was good at AMS Miami. What do you think fellas?.
Needs another coach like Roche to get him back on track, hes really sloppy and unpolished at the moment. I think while hes been trying to volley a lot more his groundstrokes have fallen off a bit, particularly in his timing.
i totally agree with you. it just looks like federer isn't as confident as he used to be. at the australian open 08 in the 2nd round he took a world ranked 176 player to 6 sets. thats not really what you would expect from world number one in the 2nd round.
Obviously there will be someone better than Federer in the future, it happens in all sports and events. But that really doesn't give you much room to just randomly post on a video in which he is just warming up that he sucks just because of your speculation of future events. You realize when they use the word "all-time" they are referring to players in the current era and players in the past, it isn't "all-time and future."
I bet it was because he's lazy. The fact is, he doesn't really like practice. But when he started doing it things picked up for him. He's still really lazy in practice, though he does have a match coming up I'll assume. Even if he isn't, he shouldn't be overexerting himself so he can stay fresh for the match.
He's always been like that. Lazy, or even nonexistent in practice, and unbelievable during showtime. He's only human during practice, the exact opposite of most other players (99.9999%).
Actually, it may also be the fact that the ball is scared of him. I mean, he hits his forehand so hard the ball must be afraid to get blown up on contact, so it slowed itself down so Federer's unbelievable racket head speed would pass it by, leaving the ball unharmed.
That and he's human only during practice, when he's sick, and during those few days a year for that every 3rd or 4th year.
what grip does federer use on his forehand?

ud have a better chance at returning roddicks serve then federers
roddicks will cum with alot of pace but u can manage to block it back if ur lucky
where as feds, he places it all the time and it has alot of kick on it so it will b hard to reach
honestly, ur screwed either way lol

he trains really hard when he doesnt play tournaments, but in practise before matches he just tries to stay loose
his philiosophy is apparently that the game is not won the day before the match but in the training before so i guess thats why it seems like hes lazy

You're right about Gasquet. He just doesn't have the mental fortitude yet. His forehand may need a little work too.
