Edberg does it too

When Federer was only 4, Stefan Edberg was already doing the smash-on-smash shot.

Stefan had the best legs in tennis. Steffi too. Good shape

Agreed. Adidas had a comercial like this: "You can´t have Edberg legs, but you can have his feet." Showing then a nice pair of shoes.

@mysteriekiller

Edberg's footwork was world class then and would still be world class today. His net-coverage and movement was second to none (if not the best ever, then on par with one or two other expert volleyers).

Modern players are not better athletes, they are merely specialised in todays brand of game - which mainly consists of running around in the back and hitting top spin groundstrokes.

@mysteriekiller i didnt know that -thanks man

@getridofthem The new generation of players are faster, stronger, more athletic and better. Monfils and Nadal are much faster and much better athletes than stefan edberg was.

@bigpo1234 More than twice...

Basel 2003?

Australian Open 2008 I think (It was a match against Berdych)

US Open 2008 (His smash lob variety)

ATP World Tour Finals 2009 (Against Davydenko)

And that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure he actually has more.

And if we're going to talk about his winners off of overheads... Well the list gets even longer...

Stefan Edberg has much better smash than other players ever
