Look at this:

Dabul has this look on his face like "What can I do, how do I compete with this machine?" :biggrin:

 

[Scarpozzi]

I like how his first next serve was a fault. I know that happens, but it makes you wonder how much that shot broke his concentration...

 

[KMFJD]

Nadal has made him look human

 

[bignateyk]

Hah. His expression was definitely "FML. Why did I have to get Federer in the first round?"

 

[Regs]

Yeah, that shot was wicked.

 

[SP33Demon]

Beast.

 

[Aharami]

crazy

LOL an "over the hill Federer" still wipes the floor with his first round opponents.

 

[MJinZ]

Didn't it hit the ground again? I don't know rules in Tennis but it looked to have bounced twice

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

it can actually bounce up to 4 times, but in this case it only bounced once.
get your eyes checked.

damn I can't believe I agree with you.

Sampras was a monster in his prime. He gave Fed a run in this exhibition game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-1qYRqf4DA

Sampras got bold fairly quick at his age! 10 years difference. Pete use to be the best at the running forehand and had good precession base lining both forehand and backhand. It was missing in this game.

The nice thing about the shot is that it's directional.

Federer has obviously practiced such shot A LOT of times in training.

Most good pros can hit between the legs. Not a big deal. But directing it is more potluck/low percentage in nature.....And if you pull it off, you look like stud.

It bounced twice

 

[masterxfob]

It bounced twice

great shot but i still hate the bastard.

i don't hate him, but i definitely prefer sampras over federer.

 

[Blackjack200]

How many French Opens did Sampras win again? I forget...

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

It bounced twice

hey asian guy, open your eyes wider. it bounced once.

and it doens't matter since it's allowed to bounce up to 4 times anyway. but for the sake of this argument, it bounced once.

 

[bignateyk]

It bounced twice

wat

 

[Evadman]

What are you smoking?

The point is lost by whichever player first allows the ball to bounce twice on his side of the court

Practicing that shot 100 times a day, i bet you could get like that... when your whole life revolves around one thing, you pretty much play that 4-5 hours a day, with the rest of your day spent stretching, and working out.

Not really. Only a very few have that kind of talent. There are sports camps in Russia where they take kids and drill them constantly on their shots to try to produce Tennis players. The vast majority of the kids fail.
