This forehand to the corner by Nadal is so high, long and fast - there is nothing you can do with that. I mean it is theoretically impossible to return it in a way that doesn't give Nadal control over the point.

Sometimes Nadal manages to play forehands like this during the whole match, and when he does, I think it is pretty much impossible to beat him, even on hard court. Federer HATES this shot.

That was an incredible shot!

@LANGWANG37 his left handed everything is better than your right handed smash LOL, he plays all of his tennis with his left hand

[LANGWANG37]

He and I are both right-handers and his left-handed backhand smash is about 500X better than my right-handed forehand smash.

@soloquierosignearme yes it was, a overhead happen when the tennis hit a ball over a person head.

The forehand to the corner was better than the backhand overhead!

Sorry, but Nadal and Federer can not compare with Sampras and Pancho Gonzalez. This cats can not adjust, hopefully Djovocik will.

I wish I could hit like Nadal could. ;-)

@phantasiehamster yeah especially when Nadal hits it to Federer's single handed backhand.. nothing you can do with it
