Roger Federer Warm Up Practice 1 of 4

[@BarOfSomething]

The pace,control, and ease of his shots even in practice is ridiculous. Can't compare.

[@ChuffDaddy]

Guy in the black shorts looks pretty good, probably a solid 5.0. I'd like to see him go a little more semi-western on his forehand grip and maybe even work on a two-handed backhand,

[@DriftKido]

surprisingly not so many people know about him. time to give out the answer though since you guys kept mentioning about fuzzy yellow balls, which i don't like. that guy's name is Severin Luthi. He's the captain of the Swiss tennis team. Many people also consider him as Federer's coach, though he is only involved in tactical aspect.

[@DriftKido]

I think they're playing at different courts. This was taken a day after Federer's second round match. Nadal was playing at the main stadium and Nalbandian was probably playing at the stadium 2.

@rmsprowler this is a warm up. not a practice at all. these guys don't really practice outside in public view. they're just having a hit here

[@PasserbyP]

is that wawrinka

[@Zinloos1]

that's what warming up is for.

[@ramyg5037]

Who is RF's opponent?

[@DriftKido]

Yves Allegro

[@mephatboi]

@DriftKido what's wrong w/ FYB?

[@supertrex2]

hmm ill travel with FEderer the whole season just to pick balls and feed it to them. must be nice free travel around the globe.

[@smithcm14]

This is how top players actually hit, 4.0 players showing off at the public courts how they can crush the ball every 10 tries will never get it right.

[@andresgarcia6337]

Exactly

[@idontknow1919]

Is it me or does his racquet looks bigger than 90 inches?

[@peacem12]

Think he used continental grip on forehand 1:32

[@DriftKido]

i'm not sure. nadal was playing though at that time.

[@georgebabolat]

[@Nefinity]

[@DriftKido]

Yves Allegro

[@PH-TENNIS-CONSULTING]

珍しくダブルス練習っぽい事してるな。

[@mitko1fed]

whats wrong with the backhand

[@wongtim12]

cant be cause the fuzz guy is a lefty

[@dao.tran1501]

watch 9:01

[@alearg89]

i think roger just lost love for the game :(

[@gunmenow]

some pete sampras forehand

[@DriftKido]

plus he doesn't really adjust his foot work.

[@DriftKido]

he made so many mistakes because during warm up he hit through the ball with very little spin. That's why it looks so effortless, but with little margin of error. and to do that you have to time the ball, set your racket angle, and swing the racket properly.

[@TheLhasaBoy]

kind of but the fyb guy has really small shoulders so its not him

[@Doggieman1111]

the guy in red is better than Federer!!!

[@PooPooPerson]

haha yeah he's imitating sampras good catch
