These aren't "2 people". If you chose to watch me and my main tennis partner hitting, then you'd be right -- you'd really have to love tennis. Federer and Thiem? At court level? A privilege.
absolutely. Roger is an artist. Thiem is a warrior. Tons to appreciate about both, but some people will naturally gravitate to certain qualities that they hold in higher esteem.
great! - I find most stunning he vicious velocity with which he decapitates (closest word in my fundus) his BH slices. these things land and bury themselves like mulls into the ground, like Graf´s but with even more !American twist", i.e. outward spin so that all his prey can do is (on his lucky day) see the death stalker coming early enough to somehow shovel it up. NASTY. imagine a ball popping whilst landing: that effect. Maybe THIS ONE he omits st. in order to make it a game and not an embarassment. Nothing to do with a decent flat slice; nothing to be done w/these "reversed Rafa-FHs" hit harder than any drive or topspin. Sadism.
You know someone is incredibly skilled at any art when they make it look effortless and simple. Every time I watch these kinds of practice videos I feel I can get on the court and emulate these professionals - only to realize how much training and practice it requires. And then some more. Just mesmerizing to watch these.
Because his movement is in line with his momentum, his body is not contorted against his inertia. Djokovic is the opposite. Human gumby. It works for both. I've seen both players play up close. Djokovic's shots are harder to anticipate because he has so much leeway in how he can contort his body on command.
He lands on his split just when the other guy is hitting the ball, just a perfect rhythm. That's what I'm trying to pick up right now watching fed's practices.
I love watching Federer, his tennis is practically perfect Dominic Thiem...he's a great up and coming talent. I hope to see him win a calendar GS, I think he will win each of the GSs
Every time there’s a Federer practice video, people comment that they’ve never seen anything like it, nobody has ever played like this, he’s in unstoppable form. Then he gets knocked out by Grigor freakin’ Dimitrov.
Why can’t tennis matches show these camera angles once in a while???? You can’t appreciate the artistry of these players from the way matches are televised today
Who else spotted this hidden bit of Swiss sorcery? 👀 🧙🏼♂️ Behold @ 9:12 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 - Chatting with Luthi - No-look catch of Domi's slice T-serve with left hand - Still chatting with Luthi - Domi hits another T-serve with even more slice - Fred *swaps racquet to left hand* and *catches serve with his right*
«Oh my gaaad...» That's the most accurate representation of what it fees like to watch Federer play for the first time (especially). Did the same to me in 2012 while I had marvelled at his graceful power, pristine touch, natural shot making abilities, and gliding footwork for more than five years on TV. This man truly is one of the best sportsmen ever, arguably the best. Even more impressive closing in on his 40's: unbelievable!
So much to learn in this single video.. The toughest to me looks like maintaining the same tempo/ speed of shots at both ends.. Seems like they are practicing Yoga.
Yep...RF is by hands, for me, the TOTAL package combined best ON and OFF the courts. It does sting me to see however that Thiem was amongst a handful of players to have a winning record against Federer, 5-2. 😔🎾
I have been using double backhand in my junior years but have never figured it out. It was so bad I always try to hide it by using my forehand. After a 10 year hiatus I ditched the double backhand for good and leant the single backhand by emulating federer. My backhand is now my favourite shot it's so much better than my forehand that I look forward to hitting backhands more than forehands. Imagine the confidence.
Footwork is key. Footwork + Solid Consistent Swing > Everything. If you want to improve but training takes a lot of time. Practice those two. Then supplement it with everyting else.
Meilleur rendu lorsque vue derriere les joueurs car on prend conscience des effets que lorsque la camera est en contre plonge .. 👏👏 pour les protagonistes 😍😍
Amazing video 👏👏
Anyone else find this ultimately therapeutic

Yesss

This is a much more interesting view to watch than the typical television “birds eye” coverage we see in tournaments. You actually feel amongst it.
Hope soon they use this PoV with more frequency
@@visualdajoy they use it it some rallies from time to time
You know you love tennis when you enjoy just watching 2 people rally back and forth
I think I enjoy this more than watching a full match haha
then you know you understand tennis than the average enthusiast when you know the quality of this rally isn't easy
@@bensonnyborja2008 I know right. They make it look easy.

Thiem is a fantastic player, but something has to be said about the way Roger cuts up every single ball like butter. The man's an artist.
absolutely. Roger is an artist. Thiem is a warrior. Tons to appreciate about both, but some people will naturally gravitate to certain qualities that they hold in higher esteem.
Well said. Fed j bends the ball to his will. It's j that talent.

Grace, like a dancer
federer's game is truly a thing of beauty
fredettaboutit
That was unnecessary
he doesn't hit the ball, he caresses it

Man Federer’s movement looks like liquid. Just so aesthetically pleasing

Djokovic's shots are harder to anticipate because he has so much leeway in how he can contort his body on command.
geepeeone where I can read more about that?
That's part of his genius- fluidity of movement.
I think he has the perfect body for tennis and his timing and strokes are sublime.
I would rather watch him than any other player.
He lands on his split just when the other guy is hitting the ball, just a perfect rhythm. That's what I'm trying to pick up right now watching fed's practices.
Why is this so satisfying
That's exactly what I thought
@@koppenknyul7113 great minds think alike(including me)
They are always balanced
Because it's what tennis should look like, but most of us can't produce anything like that
Because 1. fed is so much relaxed in his strokes,truly effortless 2. And the balls is always returned,continuity
Roger is poetry in motion
When Federer practices, there are more people in the stadium than in some Grand Slam Games
Roger is truly a marvel. He changed the entire game for the better.
9:13 Federer is just so elegant and effortless with everything he does
Can actually watch this all day. Poetry in motion.
The most gifted and the hardest worker, both with beautiful one handed backhands. Both really well liked and respected on the tour. Inspirations.
Federer’s tennis is unbelievably amazing!
such a piece of art, the paradigm of aesthetics.
I was there! My dad and I were so excited to see the GOAT.🐐🐐🐐
Best ATP practice videos out there, as always.
I feel like Federer drove Thiem to this practice match, then realized they were playing each other.
Sometimes a good practice is the highlight of the tournament.and i've seen many to know.
So fun to watch........ Federer is a like a balerin of tennis, his game is so beautiful and effortless... living legend.
I love watching Federer, his tennis is practically perfect
Dominic Thiem...he's a great up and coming talent. I hope to see him win a calendar GS, I think he will win each of the GSs
I can literally watch this all day
The most talented tennis player with the best technique ever.
Never again such grace and beauty. And on the other side is a player who also looks amazing on the court...
It's so therapeutic, I could fall asleep to this.
Oh how I love these two!
There are more fans here than virtually any women's match.
Federer is the most aesthetic sportsperson of all time. Outrageous
this is really relaxing

When i have insomnia i watch federer practice videos. Good night~
Amazing video quality - thanks for creating this video!
We should look into getting this video technology :)
josh w the newer cell phone can do it. Actually think mine can but it takes up too much memory.
2 things:
Roger's serve is the most glorious shot in tennis.
Roger's calves are insane.
I agree. His serve is the most elegant part of the prettiest game of all time. His game is just gorgeous to watch.
@@gqnelly prettiest game of all time? Ever watched Nadal play mate? It's brutal to watch
Ben Parsons huh? Nadal’s game is opposite of pretty (not saying in a bad way).
@@goxaviergo11 exactly
@@benparsons4979 honestly speaking Nadal makes Tennis look way hard than it is while it’s opposite for Roger.
They both demonstrate excellent form and mechanic during practice. I watched a couple games of Them, he hit the ball really hard.
Their rhythm is so hypnotic.
Those slices... they look so scary. :D Amazing video!
Federer hits the ball so beautifully....
the almost effortless generation of pace and spin, unbelievable level of tennis
Fed being so relaxed and Thiem's slightly exaggerated form makes it look like Federer is coaching Thiem
Roger's backhand slice is godly.
Fantastic tennis
Wow! Can't wait to come to the 2024 U.S Open!! Just booked tickets!!!!!
If you want to see Federer you may want to bump that up to 2022.
Im poor 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻MBDTF>existence
So relaxing, better than rain sounds!
Smooth as silk. Like a hand of God.
Thank you for this! 🙏
Fed is tennis's "only true genius". A *never-before-never-again phenomenon!*
So smooth, so elegant, so effortless!
calm, in control, relaxed, very professional~~ :)
13:59 Roger´s two handed backhand
He does one at 9:39
Wish I was this relaxed like Federer
linton blaise my problem too. Looks like he has so much time.
I can watch this all day!! Thanks!
love Roger~
He makes art playing the game, even in practice. This is why is the best player in the history for me, he makes art playing tenis.
Great video love the editing.

You can’t appreciate the artistry of these players from the way matches are televised today
9:15 - Look at that spin...caused by new ball, new felt, new racket strings....and that side spin serve...
his athleticism is underrated fr
Thiem's backhand is so fundamentally sound. Wish to be half as good as his form one of these days.
The most elegant player of his generation ... Roger Federer.
three great tennis players; Federer, Thiem, and Massu ...
You forgot Ivan...
Very nice video ❤
13:09 Kick!
I can watch this satisfying video all the day.
Who else spotted this hidden bit of Swiss sorcery? 👀 🧙🏼♂️

More fans watching Fed practice than a Djocovic match lol.that says alot.
No one likes Djokovic. 😂
Federer's forehand is purely artistic
This never gets old. Nobody hits like this. All of his shots from a tennis gods textbook even the shanks look cool. smh
My fav tennis practice video❤

God, I miss Federer on the tour.
this is hypnotizing
Roger Federer has the most pure style in tennis... the man is simply the best tennis player in the world
He does show fast and gracefulness is not mutually exclusive. Truly the best player ever.
The guy in the red t-shirt plays really good, especially considering he's playing against Federer.
That’s Dominic Thiem
That slice backhand 🤩
9:12 Those 2 catches though they are simple it looks so damn cool
ha ha ha they really do
Federer the footwork master
The two classiest men in tennis
The most effortless strokes with the most power/spin ever
Dominic has all the tennis tools to be a Slam Winner ..now it's all mental
This is the first time I notice Fed catching his racquet in the forehand follow through.
Genius at work.
they are truly firing canon balls at each other
Federer's forehand with Thiems backhand = lethal combo
Love all your videos
I’m been trying to emulate federer backhand and it’s going well
I have been using double backhand in my junior years but have never figured it out. It was so bad I always try to hide it by using my forehand.

やっぱりファデファーにフォーカスが当たるんだな。

I was there. Better than some official games of the tournament.
The guy in the white shirt is good at tennis
@Lisandro Almiron right?? What a newb..
Overused? Not saying it’s a bad thing.
he should consider going pro
Footwork is key. Footwork + Solid Consistent Swing > Everything. If you want to improve but training takes a lot of time. Practice those two. Then supplement it with everyting else.
Lovely to watch pro tennis without commentary
the SPIN n curvature of Feds forehand is insane!
Damn! Thiem’s kick serves are no joke!
Meilleur rendu lorsque vue derriere les joueurs car on prend conscience des effets que lorsque la camera est en contre plonge .. 👏👏 pour les protagonistes 😍😍
Bro tennis matches should be recorded on this camera for tv
It's amazing how much better Fed's backhand is now than 15 years ago when he was dominating.
