Something that’s really special about Fed’s ground strokes that I don’t hear very often is how his take back for the slice and topspin backhand is practically identical. You basically can’t tell which one he’s going to hit until he’s swinging.
anticipation and footwork and decisiveness in shotmaking. Fed makes VG decisions on where to place his shot and you can tell it is automatic - no deliberation or second guessing himself
@@LoveTennisOfficial Well, all I can say is that he’s doing sómething right! ;) His longevity and relative lack of injuries is proof of that. But apart from that, there’s a lightness in his footwork, grace in his movements and intelligence in problemsolving that makes it simply wonderful to see him play!
I'm a huge Roger fan and he is my idol. However, I have a nitpick. 0:21 is a perfect example of why Roger's backhand hasn't been as consistent over the years as Wawrinka's. If you look at Wawrinka's swing path, he closes his backhand racquet face much earlier than Roger. Therefore, he has a more linear and closed swing path and there's less involved, so thus it's more consistent. Roger keeps his racquet face open too long on his backswing, so he has to close it at the last second instead of it being fully closed on the take back. Since he's the GOAT, his timing is immaculate. For us club players, I would not recommend this. I would recommend Wawrinka's backhand.
My favourite swing! He proves the Easter grip, which I prefer, Is not outdated! I fractured my wrist! I thought it was a simple fracture and would quickly recover, not so. As you can see, the wrist is tantamount to a proper swing. The power I generate causes my grip to release and wrist to buckle.
@@aizensousuke7107 dude needs to know that eastern grip or semi doesn’t really matter at our level. Play with the group that feels the most natural to you and focus on your footwork, contact point, and etc,. Everything goes hand in hand, it’s not all about grips.
I find it interesting watching then taking it into my own practicing the shot difference on the forehand when he starts out planting his back foot before the stroke as opposed to planting the front.
He is the perfect tennis player. Sometimes it seems as if he doesn't even swet. Now if I were teaching a tennis player, copy his backhand, both topspin and slice, they have firm but relaxed wrists. His serve definitely, and his volleys. Not his forehand. It's a weapon, but he has a idiosyncratic "loose" wrist, very difficult to copy. The wrist must be firm but relaxed, but not too loose. A beginner would be better off copying Djokovic, not so much a weapon, but more copyable. And Djokovic's two handed backhand, if the player prefers that.
Thanks for posting but in the future try to record his whole body especially his feet . Wider angles are better so we can see how he attacks each ball.
What do you mean by two different Forehand hands - did you mean he keeps his racket head close longer before he opens it - your right, but why did he change it - maybe because it's easier to stop hitting it off center & more power- yes or no
@@miguelormike6424 Fed's forehand at 15:44 is his old swing style. His old racket, the Prostaff 90, required a longer, whippier swing. On the other hand, his newer RF97 is more powerful but slower through the air, which is probably why fed made the switch to a shorter more compact swing. More control and more consistency. These are my opinions only based on play using both the Prostaff 90 and RF97 for a few months. You have to shorten your swing on the RF97 or you're be late on most shots.
@@futarydary He's talking about elegance in serve motion. Of course Pete's serve motion with the serve itself is about the most glorious thing ever in the game
@@miguelormike6424 well , my english is limited, i studied only a little, it's not to easy to explainer in english , better in italian language , obviously if the people play the forehand we are all Federer, obviously Federer is one teacher , this is one dream to play one forehand like Federer 😴😴 . For all us mortal people , we run near the ball and we open the arm much before that arrive the ball , and the racquet is always in direction of the net 🔙 , and the moviement of the arm is always with the same speed , au contrary, federer have the racquet that initially look the earth , and after give much speed only when push the ball .....i don't know if my english is good for to explainer. .
@@AmurTiger-vm5dy We run to the bar and we open the racket head to soon before the ball get's to us. The racket is always pointing toward the direction of the net. The movement of the arm swing is always the same speed that you want for that particular shot ( fast, slow or heavy topspin or slice ).

Ultra Feng Shiu Tennis. Roger Federer. What has happened to ATP and USTA tennis is a disgrace. Since the Golden Age of Tennis. Professional tennis players strokes are just horrible to see and HEAR with their UGLY grips, OPEN STANCES and LOUD GRUNTING !

You must be totally blind.
@@BujorOvidiu they are very similar, no need to be rude
Yeah very true, i totally agree
Footwork in my opinion is the first and most important part of hitting any shot
anticipation and footwork and decisiveness in shotmaking. Fed makes VG decisions on where to place his shot and you can tell it is automatic - no deliberation or second guessing himself
こういう本当に自然で美しい動きを観て、観る眼を養わんと。
This guy moves so elegantly, it is simply Classical Tennis Ballet...
Best technique in tennis?

The fluidity and kinetic chain, so inspiring!
I can look at this for hours.

Ohh, I just saw a few low deep shots where he hits the backhand off the back foot propelling him completely off the ground! Awesome

Easter grip? Federer’s backhand is outdated compared to Thiem or even Wawrinka his peer.

It helps to play..better and better..GOAT #Roger
beautiful just beautiful
Thank you for all the great post!
柔らけ〰️〰️😭❤️too soft
Tal vez sea porque lo admiro mucho pero sólo veo belleza en sus movimientos
Thanks for sharing, really good, slow motion very clear.
The living legend
I just subbed. Nice posting!

Could watch this all day...
I'm gonna miss this guy so much when he eventually retires
Fed will live forever in YT re-runs
I hate thinking about it
Le plus beau joueur de l histoire
Good for tutorial
No other STROKES other than Roger Federers'
should be TAUGHT ever !
by anyone claiming he is a Tennis Teaching Pro !
Awesome video.. Thanks @love tennis
🙏🙏
loved it
영상을 보는 것 만으로도 히링이되고, 레슨이 되네요. 반복 시청해서 내폼으로 만들어야겠어요~^^
All of them
La classe pura.
His backhand grip is almost a continental, i can't believe how he can hit the ball with that grip...
If you were building the perfect tennis player, which strokes from Federer would you use?
Probably his forehand, I like his backhand. Definitely his serve and maybe his volleys, his elegante slice. You can see: everything :)
His forehand and volley, without a doubt.
Of course, it's his forehand. Volleys from players in the past.
He is most complete player on tour but prob wouldnt be number 1 in any.
He is the perfect tennis player. Sometimes it seems as if he doesn't even swet.

Shadow Fiedler every day!
i wish i had the chance to play tennis, i would have absolutely pulverized federer.
These are two different forehands. I think he doesn't use the swing pattern shown from 15:44 anymore.

Pro tip: play video at 0.25 speed for even slower frames
Great serve action but in this departament one guy was more elegant and effective - Pistol Pete, both fantastic players
Pete's forehand and backhand looked awful compared to RF
@@futarydary He's talking about elegance in serve motion. Of course Pete's serve motion with the serve itself is about the most glorious thing ever in the game

@@miguelormike6424 exactly 👍
So Easy !
Federer forehand involve lots of legs and hip rotation; this Video unfortunately not showing the whole legs :(
I’m watching at 1.5 speed
The backhand however is always hit off the front foot
all one handed backhands are hit off the front foot. The contact point of a one hander makes it almost impossible to hit a standard open stance

よくフェデラーは「打球後に打点に眼を残す」と言うけど、ちょっと違うね。「打点をあらかじめ見ている」。
And i thought porn was not allowed on TH-cam.
