"Only Roger Federer"... can hit I/O forehands like this

ok, so I decided to call my shot compilation series the "only Roger Federer" series as I always hear commentators say "only Roger Federer can _____" (produce a shot of such brilliance, pull that off, etc.)

First up is the inside-out forehand while still skipping around his backhand. This shot is a thing of beauty which he perfected in 2006 when his footwork was at its apex.
Hit with such fluidity, Federer needs not to muscle through the ball like most players, but uses his precision and top/side spin to put the ball away for an insultingly easy-looking winner.

Best bit of commentary all video was at 2:07 (Fed Maestro vs Safin), when the commentator says, "See ya" before The Master strokes it away...

Tweety bird was actually a very good comparison. Federer lulls you to sleep with a monotonous rally, and then hits you with an unsuspecting angled monster forehand (wooden mallet). You don't see it coming.
