Roger Federer: A "volley-running forehand" instead of a "forehand-volley"!

[IricForset]

"These forehands are making me thirsty!"

[chrism216]

lol wtf was that?! one second hes playing a rally next second hes sitting down drinking water before the ball has bounced a second time in his opponents court... haha

[ldjstudy]

It seems that Federer got tired of the rally and wanted a winner.

[TennisVideosOnly]

isn't it easier to say drive volley?

[maximilian533]

@TennisVideosOnly

yes, agree, but it really reminds me something like a running-forehand hitten before the bound of the ball!

[lightmyfir3]

@TennisVideosOnly called a swinging volley

[astrobc1]

@TennisVideosOnly I've always called it a swing volley.

[dwilliams02]

@TennisVideosOnly By definition that is pretty much a drive-volley, but this one was pretty special. Not a typical drive-volley where the player has a high-ball and a lot of time to set-up.

[maximilian533]

@dwilliams02

yes, that's why i didn't know exactly how to call it!

[ForeverMan91]

@maximilian533 god choker!

[maximilian533]

@ForeverMan91

grande chucho!

[S1av3z3r0o]

Yes this is in Russian.

[patryklau]

roger just wanted to have a drink of water that's all.

[peliptabilo]

swing volley!

[xXabdi3Xx]

That was an amazing shot. Then he just didnt have to walk to the bench.

[luke94manutd02giggs]

Oh, what a lovely point!

[Goldthehedgehog11]

He's just like "I know I'm gonna win this, I'll just run to my chair now."

[raggarlassearkung]

First time you can see the ball in 360p

[ljhokk]

This is not volley-forehand this is drive forehand

[DanoBarg5]

1. that's the russia-based channel "Спорт" (Sport)

2. the volley is actually called, quite simply, a "swinging volley" (at least that's what it is called in america)

[Harppuunamies]

Is this some Central Asian tv-channel ?

[maximilian533]

@Harppuunamies

no, i think russian!

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

I like how the direction he ran himself in to was towards his bench so he's able to drink his water while Malisse is still at the baseline wondering what happened.

[JockeOhlund]

That's called a drive volley.

[maximilian533]

@JockeOhlund

thanks, "drive volley" is nice!

[0407ranchu]

Roger is great!

[cys12141]

[Mashascool]
