Federer vs Mathieu - R3 US Open 2010 [HD]

[@endorstoi863]

Just passing through on my journey to watch every Federer match.

[@guitarraper27]

Really impressive how they managed to play under such windy conditions - I mean, even on their regular flat groundstrokes, the ball has a tremendous curve on it which is really hard to handle. It's always moving to the left side like they sliced it or put sidespin on itl

[@janethu9169]

Beautiful.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

1:20 just love the surprise hand that lives in the cave

[@acidishot2]

lol at 1:18 follow where the ball goes and there is a creepy hand

[@springfield03sniper]

If you've ever watched Federer up close, you'll know he doesn't hit "flat" at all.

[@hqthang87]

great quality and great highlights. Thanks for posting

[@cj397]

a topspin loopy ball can "penetrate" the court as well. penetrate really means depth.

[@shrirajmukherjee]

No, there's an aspect of velocity coupled with depth. Otherwise even a lob/slice would be "penetrating", if deep enough.

[@extradutyfelt1]

4:59 sweet lob.. such a beautifull shot..!

[@HisMajesty984]

In this sport, as long as some spin is put on the ball, it will have a better chance of going over the net; you need spin, and without any spin, the odds of the ball going over are very low even though you might surprise someone from time to time.

[@ramyg5037]

7:16 - Roger thought the ball won't make it past the net...and neither did he expect Mathieu to chase that ball..

[@hattrickster33]

Mathieu has talent. He's a lot better overall than Gasquet, and Monfils IMO.

[@vaulcan]

don't think there was any sidespin to that backhand, looks like the wind just blew it into the court.

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

Can't see clearly the match point. I thought Mathieu won that point.

[@nicolashumbert8344]

The ball bouced on the net :)

[@aligboyakasha]

When I clicked the thumbnail I thought he was wearing a do rag

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

Very windy condition, the US Open rarely has a nice weather, either windy, or extremely humid and hot, or both. Not a good place for a grand slam, overrated.

[@Tungchu92]

3:43 Mathieu got LUCKY lol

[@felipecampos5852]

Anybody in the top 125 ATP Rankings actually does not hit flat at all in a regular groundstroke rally. Rafa's average topspin=3,200 RPM (rotations per minute), Roger's average topspin=2,700 RPM Watch here: /watch?v=9hlSb6Apek8 @ 1:00 , 1:35 , 2:55 , 3:04 , and 3:17 , also google: Jim's Blog Federer Hits with more spin than Nadal

[@raduvlad4429]

so nadal average spin is 3200 and fed is 2700 but federer hits with more spin?seems legit

[@cj397]

well flatt"er" than most.

[@springfield03sniper]

The term should be "penetrating"

[@unowen7591]
