  • Man, that's a shiny watch federer's wearing......

  • The forehands at 0:19 and 0:33 are what have earned him five US Open and five Wimbledon titles. To stand on or inside the baseline for a rally-ball forehand at the professional level is one thing, but the combination of whipping topspin, a good three feet of extension through the ball, and the ability to hit aggressively while moving backwards make him absolutely lethal on the forehand wing.

  • WOW..... Just WOW......Seriously WOW!!!

    His balance....Perfect.

  • art

  • great footage. such a great example of how important moving and balance is to be able to take a clean swing.

  • Why is it that if federer hits so well with an open stance do 99% of tennis coaches at club level in the UK tell you to hit forehands nearly fully side on?? Someone help me out here

  • it's like watching art... it's fascinating to watch

  • Federer looks like he´s playing on the moon. Doesn´t gravity apply to this guy? He´s floating around over the court even when he´s hitting the ball.

  • @TitaniumProAce It seems like it's all timing and racket head speed/arm speed for Federer.

  • I dont understand how he does it, the most conservative grip, open stance and his rips them better than 99% of the top players

  • this was the time when roger federer is still on top...

  • its impossible to hit winners and passing shots like he does using ur wrist ur not gonna believe me anyway so im done...
