Late reply but I agree with this so much. Honestly it's like he designed his strokes and style of play for that. Efficient movement, great positioning and really efficient lethal strokes. His game is simply amazing and a pleasure to watch.
Federer's movements are so effortless that he gives the wrong impression of being bored, but if you pay attention to footwork he's clearly taking seriously the session. He never stops working in between hits.
Even in his matches, Roger has a bored, uninterested look on his face. He seems to have cultivated that over the years to give an impression to his opponents that he is not fazed by their game or any trickery they might try against him.
An incredibly efficient athlete who made one of the most difficult sport seemed so easy... it's like his body was specifically designed for tennis relentlessly graceful
I can‘t count how many times I gasped at his shots and motions in this video. Time to time I come here to watch this and time and time again... It must feel incredibly good hitting those forehands and backhands, I wish I knew „what it is like to hit like Federer“:)
«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!
i guess but equally distributing isn’t hard... it’s a pretty normal thing to do in 3 player practices. it’s simple as well. just hit one ball to one guy and the next one to the other, rinse and repeat. if someone gets 2-3 balls in a row for some reason, you can just give the other 2-3 aswell.
Used to play cut-throat tennis with a couple of buddies in college all the time. You just have to switch it around -- allow the single to hit into the doubles court and make the doubles keep it in the singles court, else it won't work at all. It was fun!
of the total number of strokes he casually played, the number of times the ball just(within 3 cms of the top of the net may be) went over the net is out of this world, which is one of the reasons why opponents seem to have less time when playing against him.....incredible.
I mean, this is a very common drill in tennis. Really good for practicing cross-court and down the line shots. Usually the single guy is running his ASS for training but it’s Fed and it’s his warmup. Super casual
@@RVDS1996 glad not the only one, I've had the chance to help some pros ranked outside the top 800 and the nerves are so high because you want to help them by making as many balls as possible and no be a hindrance. These guys did a crazy good job
@@efraherrera9409 These guys looked stressed while Fed was so relaxed, Mr. Cool. Usually playing Canadian doubles, the singles guy is very stressed but it's the exact opposite here. I don't know who these guys are but their footwork and groundstrokes need work. I guess if they weren't hitting with the GOAT every shot wouldn't be so magnified.
You can tell the white shirt player is not at all used to how much topspin Roger can get from his backhand drives at 1:02. He just thinks " Oh sure I can drive this without taking enough steps back to give myself room", nek minnit, straight into the net. Federer's slice at 1:07 is beautiful, too. He's either won points or set up points with that shot probably 10,000 or more times in pro matches.
Maybe not the greatest of all time as far as stats go, but undoubtedly the most talented tennis player of all time. Federer wasn't made for tennis, tennis was made for Federer.
Que maravilha ver esse Federer jogando , que facilidade , que técnica apurada , eu bato fácil também , mas o Federer nasceu para o tênis , é o Pelé desse esporte , vida longa ao rei .
Federer's right foot always lands about 100 milliseconds before that backhand hits. In fact, his footwork operates as a sort of metronome for his swings. This is the key to his supremacy, and I haven't heard anyone talk about this.
@@petrikor4411Yep! Many coaches will teach you to put your heel on the ground when stepping across the body, and when transferring your weight, bring your toe down and transfer onto that foot. Federer's timing is so masterful
MRios1128 he’s too old to get in these grueling matches on djokovics good surfaces, but he’ll sure as hell kick his ass on grass and would’ve kicked his ass in his prime.
RF is the best of all time... no doubt, but he got the “bad luck” that Nadal and then Djokovic came in the same era... he would’ve won many more GS titles.
@@CooKJaY9 no issue, it was extreme topspin and hit hard and high but dropped in inches from the net at a really wide angle. That would have been a great approach shot or a set up for a winner in to the open court
Notice how he jumps after completing the motion of his body after every single short and jumps a little to adjust himself before another one. Pure perfection.
First is just a reset by getting back into motion but the little jump before the next one is a split-step in anticipation of the next ball...standard for all pros but Feds anticipation is just on another level. His footwork is versatile enough to be able to adapt to any situation
It’s interesting to see where he makes contact with the ball. The ball is hit nice and clean when he gets the ball knee high or so. If he gets a ball waist high or higher I can see he loops it back.

Roger has a style of tennis that is so conducive to longevity: relaxed and easy on the joints.

And then there's thiem who's basically just burning out his whole upper body with every ground stroke

The most talented tennis player with the best technique ever.

Nobody ever made watching simple sparring as pleasant as RF. He brought elegance, balance and perfection of the moves to the game.
5:14 That backhand spin tho!
Was out tbh
Yeah, that was crazy.
Smooth, relaxed, graceful. Very calming and zen.
Masterclass in tennis footwork and technique! I don’t care if he lost the Wimbledon final 2019.....to me he is the greatest!
The US hardcourt season is going to be very interesting...
Hes my hero
Novak real GOAT!
He shows it again!
He destroyed Federer as always!
Dr Oetker he destroyed him? The game couldn’t have been any closer lol
He is the greatest!!!
The noise from the contact of the ball on his racket is so nice
MASTERJ3WY _ Yeah, crisp, dead center, most of the time.
i am so impressed that roger is so clearly careful to make as equal ball distribution as possible. a truly special person all around.
i can tell youve never practiced like this if you find this impressive... its normal to distribute

2 guys 1 goat
He makes it look so easy and great angle to watch
chandramouli ss that’s what she said
The guy is a machine. He's always working on his footwork. Always hopping around. Never gets lazy.
I could watch this all day
My style of play at 4:32
Federer is one of the best at taking the pace off his racket and still executing great timing
It’s funny how roger’s technique looks the most simplest in the ATP but is actually really difficult to copy...
Wan Zachary Wan Isa requires excellent footwork and torso rotation
No matters how many times you watching Roger Federer, you never hit the ball like him.
Exactly lol
THANKS!! This video is good enough for me to watch it daily... for the remainder of the year
I could stay here a hole day watching...
It's mesmerising, isn't it?
Lord Federer is the definition of economy. He is the Eighth Wonder of the World.
That slice is like butter. And the forehand makes butter look like sandpaper.
Pretty much full pace after 7:50... Incredible to watch when he really gets on it. SMOOTH
its always fun to watch the audience
audience: LEFT , RIGHT , LEFT , RIGHT , LEFT , RIGHT
Like watching a rain video w/crackling fire place..Bless you Rog..
Just love the way he cuts time by taking the ball early and already committing to a quality shot.
I wish we could see this kinda angle more often- really shows how impressive the strokes wre
This is a beautiful thing to watch
didn't plan to watch this video, but started and couldn't stop then)
I always feel peaceful and satisfactory watching him practicing.

Thanks for the wonderful post. Truly appreciated. Amazing footage. Great camera work. Cheers.
Those two guys sure got a lot of backhand practice
You can tell Novak and Rafa are relieved when Roger nets a ball, as they both wipe their #2 and #3 brows. 🐐🇨🇭
Fed normally grabs local junior players to practice with. Well worth it for the Juniors.
They seem to be. No doubt they're probably a little nervous.
8:03 thing of beauty
I mean, this is a very common drill in tennis. Really good for practicing cross-court and down the line shots. Usually the single guy is running his ASS for training but it’s Fed and it’s his warmup. Super casual

Solid work from the hitters. Must be such a feeling hitting for Fed. Nerves at all time high.

It's like visual ASMR.

damn tennis must be really boring
MrFuchew haha I know it seems stupid but try doing it
