Roger Federer Practice 2014 BNP Paribas Open Part 1

[@eddysato8430]

His backhand and forehand is just too beautiful to watch. Not to mention his serve. Best form with best skill. The Greatest Player of All Time ROGER FEDERER

This practice session had more spectators than 2 of 3 grand slam finals this year

[@caz9719]

To appreciate what you are watching, one must play the game. The ease with which depth, direction and speed of shot are controlled and maintained for rallies of 20 + shots is a thing of beauty which will not be seen again when he finally hangs up the racquet. It is the art form of a Master.

In the presence of greatness, I would want to cheer for every forehand , slice, and backhand from Federer. What an amazing feeling to have a crowd watching you just practice.

[@blueorange5935]

His strokes are so smooth it's awesome to watch

[@JK-vc7ie]

I think RF is the most naturally graceful athlete I’ve ever see. In any sport and I follow a lot of sports and know full well how many amazing athletes there are in this world.

Hands down the best Federer practice video on KZbin! Perfect vantage point and clarity.

[@yoitsjust]

So relaxed so fluid. There’s no tension.

[@joaomingorance]

O melhor do vídeo é a mulecada: "pai, você perde de duplo 6x0 do Federer". Criança não mente, rsrs! Pais fodas, parabéns! Abraço!

[@sarangkapadia]

I love how he "slaps" the ball as though he does not care where it's going to go, so fluid.

[@DonSyndrome]

And yet it goes exactly where he wants it to go.

[@alephnull4044]

It's disgustingly natural for him.

[@alminjahic8640]

Sir, that's the point of perfect tennis shot! You need to relax you arm and use it as a "whip" to obtain spin, power and accuracy.

[@kxr_s]

Almin Jahic how do you aim and apply perfect spin? I think of it as a whip but it’s so uncomfortable

[@ianthebubbian6182]

@@kxr_s The essence of a whip is not having to use any effort at all, but producing a "snap" at the end without actually using it. If you let the racquet head drag through the entire stroke, and lead the stroke by rotating your hips (the base of the stroke) rather than through your shoulders or wrist, it creates the effect of the whip naturally.

[@decoenedamien7808]

I can watch this all day long

Saudações a esse povo brasileiro sortudos de estarem tão perto da lenda Federer!

Já percebi de cara a galera falando português

[@anthonyfloresSEO]

When I want to relax I watch fed practice😊

[@Judasmac]

1. The number of balls he hits at middling warm-up pace is a lot. Much more than club level players like me who are eager to get to full pace balls. 2. His warm up balls have a lot of spin and shape. Still plenty of racket head speed. He doesn't start to flatten out his shots consistently for 7-8 minutes, and then he's still mostly hitting up the middle. A very gradual progression. 3. He keeps his feet moving constantly from the very start of the warm up.

[@DanielMunoz-yq8km]

The most beautiful tennis player ever. There will never be another Roger

[@kaiojag]

hahaha the Brazilian boy speaking in the background. :P

[@RossCallen2028]

I love the little kid's comments, he's actually very in tune with what a good shot is! Way to go kid! Keep it up!

His shots are so effortlessly executed

[@dylanbuckner2068]

While im not a roger fanboy i do gotta admit that racket of his is fantastic, i had my own custom one made with the same specs(need to replace the strings though) and its great i like how heavy it is and the string patterns just right, its amazing

[@prizefighter212121]

Remarkable video. One I watched this over and over not long after it was put up and now come back now to see that it has almost two million views. Given that this is little more than a 10 minute clip of a guy practicing I wonder if the popularity of this clip, what it shows about Roger Federer and tennis and sport isn't something worth exploring.

[@MrRomcallis]

he hits that backhand like nothing...looks so easy but you go try it..practice for 10 years and you won't come close

[@105milimeter]

r m i have backhands for breakfast

[@willkittwk]

r m not hardly testing each other. open your eyes. bet they didn't break a sweat unless the weather was humid.

[@roshansreedhar4727]

This backhand is supposed to be his "weak shot". And that is simply terrifying.

[@DonSyndrome]

These guys commenting here obviously don't play or they're drastically overestimating their own abilities.

[@SammyEddie]

Don Nguyen agree. And other comment about him not breaking a sweat is silly. Him sweating or not, or hitting it hard or not, has ZERO to do with the soundness of his backhand.

[@Piotrszyba.1]

I love the way he warms up his forehnad by hitting it with inside-out spin to prepare himself for this shot in the match.

[@mrcomment6644]

i don't know how he stands rallying when there are 5 balls on the ground in front of him. My OCD can not handle it!

[@sultanabran1]

he doesn't have ocd. and he doesn't step on the balls. easy.

[@joshuab1707]

al furn IKR! haha, I kept on watching the balls. I have played with balls right around the bounce zone of the ball, and even when it doesn't hit, I mess up my shots because I lose focus

[@mrcomment6644]

Joshua Bradley same here!

[@Laslo96]

+al furn you dont have ocd, you just dont like the balls being on the ground in front of you..

[@defrule]

Half way into the video he cranks up the pace and it's ridiculous how high his shots kick up into the air. They explode off the court when they land.

For those who is interested, Roger uses semi eastern grip for both of his forehand and backhand. And sometime changes to continental with his slices

[@rtmordecai1]

Imagine being good enough to hit with Federer and not being good enough to play professionally. I mean, I guess they are still “pros” in a sense but it really is incredible when you go out and hit and then watch the talent even the hitting partners have.

[@imateapot51]

I think he was top 30.

[@0ki7o]

This is the reason I'm not getting my report done.

[@joshuab1707]

Sure I can hit rally shots this fast, but it looks so effortless from him! I have to actually try and put my body weight to get shots this fast. And then when it comes to the speed of shots in a match, there is no way I could pull that off. effortless.

[@afghanrocky]

Lovin that crisp swing on Federer's shots

[@OfficialWorldChampion]

it looks like he's hitting with way more topspin and less drive than in more recent hitting session videos....did pros/ the tennis universe decide it had had enough with loopy topspin or something

[@basictennis4961]

nice shoot , i subscribe

[@sludge86]

Fed was still getting used to the racquet. Trying to over exaggerate the topspin on the backhand

[@BobABooey.]

Easily the greatest backhand ever.

[@watcher687]

When Federer hits the ball you hear a very high pitched sound. Is it because he uses significantly higher string tension than ours ordinary club players'?

[@omki2504]

Nah higher string tension gives a more control oriented strike while lower is more power oriented. He wouldn't be able to hit effortless power and spin with a high strung tension.

[@watcher687]

greatest ever I agree with what you're saying, it makes sense. I still don't understand how that high pitch sound is produced. It's like a wooden board hitting a hard solid ball. I hear that sound only with pro tennis players.

[@omki2504]

I think it's the fact that he doesn't use a shock absorber or vibration damper you know that little thing you see at the bottom of the strings (in case you don't know what that is)

[@watcher687]

greatest ever I always hear the same sound when I watch them live during practice sessions as well. . Maybe the reason is that they hit much harder than the recreational level players. Yes, the damper makes a difference too.

[@omki2504]

Probably but the are multiple factors attributing to the sound, it could be the courts and stadiums giving off different acoustics and where ever they hit the sound from the other side will always be different.

[@Emolga6274]

I think fed can beat anyone if he changes his stragedy a bit . Stay back a little more to return serve . He doesnt have the same reflexes as when he was young
