Federer - greatest shot ever?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

fecking hell

[Mike]

he said it was his

[Chili Palmer]

It was a fantastic shot.

[Tommok]

It was a fantastic shot.

 

He's a genius but I'd still love to punch him in his smug face.

tbf when you are that good, you're allowed to be smug!

[_00_deathscar]

Pure luck. Fluke.

[Tommok]

fair enough but tbf when someone looks that smug you should be allowed to punch them.

[Sion]

never liked him since that comment he made to Nadal when Nadal lost at Wimbledon. 'i lost last year, so i know how you feel' something like that

definately.

[CarraLegend]

Preferred this.

I think that sounded alot worse than was meant, I think he was simply saying he knows how hard it is to be on the losing side.

I think he was trying to be sincere and it came out wrong

 

That shot is incredible. even more so at that point of a match

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

he's supposed to be a really nice bloke

[Bailo]

He's just an all-round good egg and it's a priviledge seeing him play tennis TBH.

he was, it was obviously exactly that...not to mention that it wasn't nadal either. andy roddick.

that's the one. i'm probably being harsh. but i didn't like the way it came out

Complete Fluke. Is anyone seriously trying to say that he meant the ball to go where it went??

[Chili Palmer]

rubbish.

[Mike]

er yeah. tennis players often play the ball through their legs - just not that good.

[Stevie H]

he's an amazing sportsman. up in the michael jordan and maradona class of guys who are better than anyone should be able to be.

[johngibo YPC]

It was more how flat he hit it, and how hard rather than the direction that made it a great shot

Any tennis player could hit the ball in the area they wanted with that shot. They do it alot

 

It was like a footballer hitting a shot with their shoulder into the corner of the goal. Not a huge achievement, but if they catch it as sweetly and powerfully as a volley.....

The shot carralegend put a link to is just ridiculous!

 

Apparently this del Potro guy is considered one to watch?

Yeah he's class mate, his improvement has been brilliant. He didnt look anything that special but last year won a few s***ty tournaments in a row and his confidence has been sky high since then. He looked for a while like his movement might be exposed against the top players but again, he's improved every aspect of his game and is competing with them all.

 

He's moving better, he's brilliant in pressure situations, his hitting is incredible, he can get a lot fitter though, but he is only 20. Even if he loses tonight he's had another great year and I expect him to win here or Australia soon enough. He's very good on clay aswell. A lot of the Argie players seem to be lazy bellends which is weird as thats completely different to the way their footballers are so hopefully he doesnt have the same traits.

[JRC]

Didn't Federer turn up at the pre-Season training camp this year, had some pics with the boys? Supposed to be a decent footballer as well.

[Silencio]

When is the US Open final?
