Roger Federer Ultimate Slow Motion Compilation #2 - Forehand-Backhand-Serve - 2013 Cincinnati Open

[@Kapritchosa]

It is like one day I listen to the drums, next day I hear the guitar, then the keyboard, this man is the whole orchestra. Every little move is one instrument that took years to master.

9:03 ...silky smooth shot. Elegance personified.

[@joseguerra9173]

e best slow motion!! Hepls a lot to learn the best shots of king roger

[@shanghaimuts]

loving these slow-mo's. thank you again. love that single backhand

[@EssentialTennis]

shanghaimuts You bet, thanks for watching!

[@tengbartolome966]

Great single backhand and a very graceful movement.....

[@PPoyares]

In my opinion this is the closest tennis player to the perfection. Ideal height, balance, weight, intelligence and technique. Watch Federer playing tennis is a single experience. No one can play like him. I'm not saying no one can beat him, just to be clear.

@Bernie Sanders are you an idiot you have to be total stupid to reply and say that federer can t be beaten when he clearly said in his comment that he can be beaten

What a video and what a great player! Great job guy!:)

The King!

[@sibellhanedan5392]

Someday i'll have his forehand😀

[@balyhoosmarketing2677]

Awesome.

[@ramyg5037]

His Kinetic chain is so accurate that his heavy racket and ball impact is at the right instant so there is basically no shock to the arm ...his follow through is just smooth thereafter..

[@mauricioverdugo6382]

Roger es un jugador que siempre va a se una leyenda todos van a recordarse de el like si roger es leyenda

[@kruiset8810]

This is perfect! Thanks this helped out my type of hits especially for hand and backhand!

[@EssentialTennis]

+Kruise ThiefJr Glad it helped, thanks for watch Kruise

[@d2nt3]

what camera did you use for this footage?

[@deathbombs]

2:00 nice shot of the forehand

[@StrageSrebreniy]

- Отл! - Спасибо!

[@sscssc3817]

He has an extra joint in his right arm that no one has.....no one plays like roger federer at this time. Nishikori forehand comes close.

[@luluyeung5652]

It is perfect to see slow motion cause for a beginner can't catch that well at normal speed 👍

[@EssentialTennis]

Glad you enjoyed it, lulu!

Excellent stuff. Thx, Ian at *****

You're welcome, Jim!

[@tennnis498]

Was it in Cincy in 2016 that Fed was virtually unplayable? He beat Anderson so badly - maybe the worst loss of Kevin’s career. He was doing the SABR quite a bit - he even did it to Novak in the final. Prime Novak was ‘15 but I thought it carried into ‘16 too. “Ultimate”in the title - check.

[@TheRabbitpaws]

What exacted wasted motions are you talking about? His left hand that goes out, that forces him to turn his shoulder and hips properly, the :"J" motions of his backswing to his contact point?? While many people opt for the "C" motion, a smaller and more racquet preparation and therefore compact backswing, that's just one method of doing a forehand. Not to say it's wrong or right but obviously with all his grand slams, Federer would disagree as well as his opponents his "effectiveness," of his forehand and backhand techniques. I'll look forward to seeing your technique demonstrated and be curious your tennis background, that would support your theory. In the meantime, go back to taking private lessons.

[@Mauriciovideomaker]

No knee bending.

[@creativeworld3927]

Federer insists on so much wasted movement after contact that serves no tactical purpose other than to project a fey superficial presentation with his strokes. Like golfers today, so much fluid but meaningless artifice to their swings after contact. At some point Fed should have grown some muscle to compensate for age, but that would have been too masculine for his taste.

[@EssentialTennis]

creative+world I'd be curious what a specific example would be of a "wasted movement" that you see from Roger.

[@mah6786]

If Federer is wrong, I don't want to be right.

[@omki2504]

What "wasted movement" are you preferring to? Movements-arm, hips, legs, follow through. Where between those movements is he exactly wasting something?

[@FEARBAD]

It's called "momentum transfer" and EVERY tennis stroke is based on it.

[@lordbyron3603]

You have no clue what you're talking about.
