  • those saying he should put his shirt back on have no idea of how insanely fit this guy is ..tennis is as gruling a sport as you will find and federer doesn't even break a sweat in most matches ..his leg and core strengh, cardio, flexibility, speed, balance, and muscular endurance are at the elite of the elite level

  • yes but he can play 3-5 hour tennis matches on a regular basis plus practice. You couldn't play a 5 set tennis match with any atp level player so stop replying to my comments and get a life.

see all

  • @ArtjomGlad do you think fed is on steroids? cuz i dont

  • The second top rated comment is retardet. Steroids don't make you big, they make you performe better....so he could be juicing all day long without it being shown on his body.

  • who's he practicing with?

  • @shelby8526 He's still fat.

  • die schlitzis wieder überall dabei :D

  • Then explain all the grunting when ATP or WTA players swing if it should take less effort. Besides, the key as you guys say is to accelerate through the shot, which takes force. Fast wrist acceleration takes power and strength. Period. Gah i give up.

  • @cj397 totally agree. the only thought I have in regards to applying power into a shot is leaning on it or when my feet aren't in position to do that, trying to accelerate through the shot. Never think of hitting harder, think faster. More effort=less power and control.

  • @SPARTAbassist none. the wrist is loosely laid back and with the core/shoulder/torso rotation comes a slingshot-like reaction that fluidly makes contact with the ball. you do not purposely put any energy/force into ANY muscle group or limb

  • @cj397 Of course there's a forced effort. True most is loose and timing, but the acceleration of the wrist must be forced (this is what causes players like nadal to grunt like dying bulls). Loose but powerful. Tough combination to get just right :).

  • @SPARTAbassist there no actual power as in FORCE APPLIED unto the ball. there is no FORCED push/nor specific muscular effort put into swinging the racket. it's all about being loose and timing.
