Roger Federer & Tomas Berdych | IW Court Level Practice

Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych practice session (Indian Wells 2018). Fed's two handed backhand at 2:41. Fed getting fancy at 7:44.

[@ManOnJupiter2]

I do not care if his records will be broken, or whether other players can legitimately claim to be the GOAT: Federer is the only player I could watch forever without feeling bored a single second.

[@purelocaldirectory8702]

yea i like his style , and lack of grunting...

[@tennis2.052]

Op brother

[@MinisterMindset369]

Exactly. Tennis in its purest form.

[@annewalden3795]

Man On Jupiter 2 I agree 100% .

[@hartgemini007]

Exactly plus doesn’t have to talk to his coach after every single point, fist pump after every point and make stupid noises.

[@kaelgamingexpiriance]

Federer absolute legend, i am from Serbia , i love Novak, but Federer is my first idol in tennis, first ever tennis player i saw , was him, legend!

[@lobogo777]

The sound of his racquet is like the pop when opening a bottle of wine. So sweet.

[@alwallace1984]

It's because he doesn't use a string dampener :-)

[@bennettrussell8249]

Al Wallace or maybe because he’s hitting in perfectly every time 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@kobetiu8628]

@@bennettrussell8249 No it's definitely because of the lack of a dampener. Most players use one, while Roger doesn't, which is why you hear that "pop" all the time when Roger is swinging.

[@lintonblaise2356]

He also uses power pads in his racket

[@Mrdezmiki]

I can't stand that sound for one minute when playing. Don't know how he does it. If my dampener flies out of racquet everything stops till it's found and put back in place.

[@matheusdias7323]

if one day someone ask you, is there anything in the world that is completely perfect? you show this person this video.

[@fskshj]

I would say if any one asks who lived freedom completely in this world I will tell one and only The Roger Federer. I see Freedom in his Tennis 🎾.

[@manonjupiter4538]

In this video is far from being perfect and at times you can see Roger's dissatisfaction with himself. But, as I said above, Roger Federer is the only player I could watch forever without feeling bored a single second...such is the grace and elegance of his movement

The two handed Roger backhand exists lol at 2:41. I’ve never seen him remotely ever do that and it’s still perfection.

[@inigoiraetau1903]

Extremely rare and he hit it perfectly

[@sureshpala8204]

Ive watched this video today, observed same thing, wanted to write comment, but I saw ur comment, hence this comment

[@radiohead2206]

I have seen him Volley with a double handed backhand. I think mainly cause guys hit much harder now and honestly I don't think he is as strong upper body wise like let's say Boris Becker. But Apples and Oranges here. Different eras.

[@sultanabran1]

there are quite a few of his practise video showing him hit 2 handers. there are some videos of 2 handers hitting 1 handed. tsonga did in a match vs roger at wimbledon, for a winner. i think it was 2013, maybe 2011.

[@vasylsemikhov4501]

Roger plays tennis like he's surfing) So relaxed and graceful :)

[@casperoomen9111]

[@degrad9]

I'm a Nadal fan but I absolutely love Roger's playstyle. So elegant and precise, pure perfection!

[@coryCuc]

@John Wick Uhhh, because people can be fans of whomever they want? And why do you assume that just because he's a fan of Nadal that he isn't a fan of Roger?

Rewatched this thousands of times. Very satisfying to watch. I used to think there was no such thing as perfection, but when I see Federer’s stroke… I only think the thoughts “It just looks perfect”

[@jackko90MI]

in 2016 me and my brother went to Madrid to the Masters 1000 tournament. We had ground access and we saw Berdych playing in the Arancha Sanchez court. My brother had a RF hat and after the match he trew him the hat and he signed it, laughing. This video brought me back that good memory!

[@jonhaden5401]

I love this! Berdych is definitely under appreciated!

[@razorelsilverflare7354]

Maybe this man is not the strongest player currently, But he has been the #1 most efficient player ever since his debut..and that's like 20 years ago! It's so amazing that there's almost 0 unnecessary movement in his play, and i bet no else tennis player would EVER play more efficient and fluent than Federer.

[@Saad-rf6ge]

It looks so weird and out of place....

[@tomr6955]

It looks pretty good

[@DrMrPersonGuy]

He's used it on rare occasions in practice. I wonder if he could switch to it or is it far too late. If anyone could do it, he could. And maybe Tsonga

[@danyeun01]

@@DrMrPersonGuy he's done so good with the one handed, why switch?

[@DrMrPersonGuy]

@@danyeun01 He has said several times that he thinks the two-handed backhand is better for modern play, he said it's easier to hit. That could help him

[@tomasgianni3830]

[@chriswylie253]

Every single Federer shot has that beautuful, light brushing sound of topspin, even short hops,etc. Can hear a marked difference in his partners shots, who is REALLY good too, but a little bit of that flat sound. Amazing.

[@Joll3n89]

there is no difference.

[@davidrosenfeld8576]

[@nutellica5946]

The player closer to the camera, in the green-blue shirt, has beautiful strokes. Especially the forehand. If he keeps practicing his technique like this on a consistent basis, I think he will be able to do pretty well against some of the top-ranked players on the Tour. Keep it up, fella, and good luck!

[@tizmon]

only as recently as three years ago, federer was not hitting his backhand as well as he is now am sure. i now see a definite improvement in his net game including the approach shot in less than one year. as a devoted fan, should i be impressed with the degree of domination roger must have had with the other two shots, serve and forehand enough not needing to work on those areas of his game that has shown obvious recent improvements? or regret that we didn’t get to witness the complete federer that he is now in his prime? to be honest, his image of being a tiebreak guy who had great serve and forehand still haunts me. i wanted to see him work on his game seriously a lot sooner like when he was a junior player. or am i wrong to think this? sorry, no disrespect to the guy. just that his recent improvements seem so huge and sad that it didn’t happen a long time ago. ok i said that. that’s how i feel. sorry, roger.

It is interesting that I can never find a real practice on youtube - when players practice hitting on the run, putting away balls, solving dropshots, practicing preparing shots and then volleying, practicing tactical patterns etc. Maybe these are top secrets. Anyway, I heavily miss these. All the videos show comfortable hitting only.
