Federer training Stuttgart 2018

Federer 1st training on grass, June 10th during the Mercedes Cup Stuttgart 2018 with Philip Kohlschreiber.

[@darbocity]

now this is the kind of practice video i and i suspect other people want to see! showing the whole action from behind the baseline! brilliant! thank you!

[@allenisarunner]

I could watch RF practice all day. All the little movements he makes are entertaining.

[@esilae333]

lmao recognized philipp immediately just because of that serve motion

[@matzemhrl1303]

same :D

[@alephnull4044]

Yeah it's an iconically goofy motion lol

[@abujabi]

yeah reminds me of a fisherman trying to put bait on a long fishing poll

[@danielmustaine3158]

This is what should be called GRASS, not that court in Wimbledon they used

[@zacharyharris438]

U do know it starts out like this lol? Maybe slightly lower cut, but yeah lol.

[@FirestarG1]

Zachary Harris what he means is the bounce and play, they’ve altered the soul composition and seed so much that it now bounces very different than it should on grass at Wimbledon

[@futterkulcha]

@@FirestarG1 can you please explain this in more detail? Thanks.

[@tennisfan599]

Is there a rule grass must be fast... No grass is grass. What gives it the edge is that the slice stays low.

[@wakinmagada4753]

Look how hype roger is when it comes to grass

[@skylaxx]

5:01 the magic wrist in action =)

[@vany4847]

Love the Old Nike short from Cincinati ^^

[@recration]

I've never seen Federer this agitated, relaxed and vocal. Funny thing.

[@jadenvigneri7100]

The guy in white definitely has potential.

[@georgedum2000]

Hihihi

[@adamromero]

Jaden Vigneri 4.0 at best

[@overduekey]

4.0 might be pushing it.

[@andreaho4841]

Best entertaining statement ever! ^_^

[@jadenvigneri7100]

overduekey more like 3.5

[@mehdielabdaoui1955]

That volley at 3:25

[@divyanshbagga22]

Love the "20" t-shirt 💯

[@tarabrown7475]

anyone notice the ball boy wipe out at 0:33

[@MrBpkc23]

Tara Brown nah he was showing off his skills to fed

[@andreaho4841]

The kid managed to take a slide move =)))

[@Outerrythem]

No, but I noticed the coach playing with his balls at 3:41. The man has no shame.

[@starllama2149]

I just noticed RF has a ball boy crew for practice lmao. That's boss

[@joonsookim1623]

5:00 what?

[@goxaviergo11]

Joonsoo Kim lol

[@pyrofeaks]

its a standart exercise, which you should do as a kid in the first years of tennis "carreer". especially for service. you throw the ball in the air and catch him like 5:00. only over the head. That will train your ball feel, as you can see, roger has tons of it! REALLY IMPORTANT! TRY IT!

[@ST-xg3gy]

@@pyrofeaks Lendl did it first.

[@AdiBacea]

was Roger in a good mood or what?

[@msods]

happy to be back on grass i think :)

[@andreaho4841]

Now he aims to enjoy playing his favourite sport rather than any titles. Can you feel how he was relaxed during the practice! ^_^

[@phucchauchannel8621]

He is so relaxing

[@aidanhamilton]

Roger looks mad relaxed in this

[@dionelrojas5480]

I cannot believe this grass has a better condition than Wimbledon's one 🤣

[@RamsBereit]

It all depends which week you are talking about, any grass court after a week's treading will wear out

[@ST-xg3gy]

What music is playing? I like the casual practice routine.

[@dhananjayverma2120]

Fresh (Extended Version) by Kool and Gang ✨

[@jamesprice6381]

that grass has TURBOCHARGED exit when ball hits! :)

[@gaoshikui88]

damn that grass is green

[@alephnull4044]

yes the grass is green

[@stefannnss5985]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH and the rafa steps at 0:40

[@georgebryant7721]

I though Agassi lol

[@abm9621]

Which song is that?

[@FollowFunk]

I always wonder what the goal is during various practice sessions. It's not obvious to me. Like they don't seem to be fully trying, so is there something in mind they're working on?

[@xman4un]

tactics and anything else they might put into play once the tournament starts...they see the court like a chessboard, beyond what you and I generally see, divided into rows and columns.

[@cormorant_on_arock7934]

looks like he's happy to be back on grass, and to be back at a tour event after nixing the clay.

[@adamblister6005]

Why are they playing music from 5 decades ago???

[@dhananjayverma2120]

Because Federer's FRESH on grass 😂

[@georgebryant7721]

Is Fed pissed?

[@jackquinn9535]

Grass is the regal-royal-noble-high class surface of the art of tennis. Fed is the master on grass; he as if eats it for living. Hence, the GOAT he is, my young friends of the game.

[@johnsuttoniiijs]

If this is 2018 why is Fed playing w the Black and White when the Black 97 came out in 2017. There was a highlight posted as well about the semifinal vs he and Kyrgios at Stuttgart and I thought that was like 2015. Fed is fed up here because Kohlschreiber isnt having a good practice. Scratchy.

[@nolbu505]

0:44 Federer's left knee looks uncomfortable...

[@roccosiffredi5463]

haha love what they are talking in swiss german...the are fooling around

[@Ved_Desai]

Rocco Siffredi what were they saying

[@keithcroissant5640]

Isn’t the idea to rally?

[@MrCWL]

Looks like he’s having fun, calling out lines like umpires and pretending his out shots are in

[@stephenomalley3616]
