Dear all, I am so amazed you all seem to enjoy the video. I play tennis and i thought this kind of view is well appreciated by tennis fans as it allows to get a better understanding of the work done by the pros. Having the GOAT for sure is appreciated. Now i can see that many wonder who is the playing playing with Roger, I am sorry but I have no idea. With more than 1M views, i am sure he has seen the video, so please let me know who you are ! Maybe Roger can help also, who knows, he might also has watched the video. I asked him on tweeter but he did not answer! All, please share the word and we will know who got so lucky playing with RF.

Looks like Thomas Enqvist by the strokes. Federer knows him well. Earlier in their careers, Enqvist simply overpowered Federer. In 1999 Enqvist was in the top 5 ATP while Federer was just arriving on the scene. Huge talent. He still dominates the Senior Tour events he plays.

In tennis, the warm-up is done playing, so at the beginning the movements cannot be sudden, in those hits a lot of the force is given by the swingweight of the racket, in this case its 350 gr racket. As it heats up, the force and rhythm and speed of the ball increase.

Just to give you an idea of the skill level here, Roger and his hitting partner (I think Thomas Enqvist, or maybe Magnus Norman) hit 24 balls from 2:41 to 3:11. That’s at a 48 balls per minute rate. When I hit with D1 College kids we average 35 balls (successfully struck) per minute. Those balls are really hit. Each of his forehands equals my biggest “go for broke” forehand, and I will likely never reach his backhand pace with mine. Now look how effortlessly Federer does this. It’s amazing 🤩, astonishing!
