Thanks to corona virus, fed is still the GOAT. Altho its unfortunate that they cancelled wimbledon yet french open will be played in the fall for nadal to equal him. US open suddenly becomes very crucial this year. By witnessing what’s happening in NYC at the moment, chance is very slim for the open to happen this year sadly. But again, its still few months away..... our world has turned upside down.
The grand slam records or any records does not make Federer the GOAT. It's his performance and his personality, the quality he brings to the tennis court that makes him amazing. He will always be one of of the greatest and be remembered as one of the greatest.
Everithing is perfect: the right feet parallel to the base line, the racket accompanied with the left arm, then the left arm parallel to the net,the ball hit perfectly in front, and the final :so relaxed!!!
Thanks for this observation. I was watching how he adds the power of his wrist like a sling shot. Very impressive use of the weight of the racket head. Maximum snap. I'd like to know where his eyes are when he contacts the ball. He seems to conduct the ball with his left hand. Like commanding a sheep dog to go to a position.
Apparently you really enjoy everything before the most important part, contact 😂, most of that is nonsense anyway, this warm-ups not a real match. During a match the bodies move very differently
@@blackshirts848 Apparently you know nothing about forehand technique, cause everything medical interest writes is important and on point and no nonsense AT ALL. But hey, you do you.
Regardless of how many slams others may win, he will always be the goat for me purely for his elegance and style, and his love, humility and respect for the game and his opponents, just an all round class act
I don't care what anyone says, Roger's racquet face is not neutral on contact. That face is closed even if it's just a few degrees on some shots. This video proves me right
So you’re telling me you think a human can hit every single ball with an exact 0 degree face, his goal is to hit it neutral and then roll because that is more correct, but his intention is to hit neutral lol. No one can always hit perfect
@@bassmann666Hitting with a straight arm adds more closure and he can get away either way a more eastern grip. Rafa uses semi western with straight arm and gets a lot more scoop.
that because Tennis gods made that happen by slowing both the courts and the tennis balls to a crawl. giving the pushers, defenders and boring play a chance.
Study the hands tracking the ball. Moving with the ball - body mirroring & tracking - note contact is out front - the vertical racket on the unit turn - the loose arm and the WIP generated at the radius as the kinetic chain unleashes its damage on the ball from the ground up channeled through the entire body to a precise geographical location on the ball! - The GOATS eyes are still looking at the spot where the ball was touched thus surgically directing the ball from the court that is mapped out on the ball - FEDxPress feels and see’s where the ball is going In His Minds Eye! The only Eye (I) that matters!
@@LoveTennisOfficial I am sorry,i don't have a favorite player of the ones currently playing,yet. I used to enjoy watching John McEnroe and Stefan Edberg. Hans.
Because you don't have to have a lot of upper body strength for tennis. Strong legs, yes, but not so much upper body. Flexibility and good technique are more valuable assets.
@@DonPascquale it’s just not worth it. The majority of a players potential power can be generated through excellent technique. When you’re playing 4hr major matches, it’s not worth it to be holding an extra 20 lbs of muscle in order to gain a few mph. Your cardio will suffer
Noticed the way he nearly always catches the racquet with his left hand, which I am guessing takes the strain off the wrist in particular at the end of the followthru to prevent injury.
Agreed. Very clearly he hits his FH with an eastern grip. The key is to keep racquet face closed at the contact. The ball doesn't know what grip we use
He keeps his head down like a golfer - doesn’t move til the stroke is completed. I did that today and my shots were so much better! When I remembered... gotta build that racquet lag/whip next... wish it was all as easy as it looks when a pro is doing it - in slo-mo!
have a good serve and backhand, of I struggle with my forehand is this a good video to learn off? seems like quite a high level of execution at the end with the wrist snap, if your off a little I can see this going all over the place
I don’t use this technique now, its a high level of execution for starters, better to use a simpler technique to begin, less steps and mechanics in any action the less error you have. Won a couple of doubles only been playing 6 mths now. Have tennis elbow so cant lift weights or even play really prob 2 mths rest now… which is frustrating
In an ideal case scenario that’s great to beat the bounce and plant your feet however often the ball is too far or too fast for that so hitting on the move is important, pros practice that displacement of feet even when practicing on easier balls
I tried copying Federer's strokes for almost 8 months now and my coach said my form looks perfect. I was happy and every time I hit the ball it looked so relaxed and it looked as if I was hitting the ball with ease but in reality, I've actually started feeling some pain around my elbow. Its not tennis elbow though which is surprising. I've also been using the RF97 which is might be the problem. Could there be something wrong with my technique it might be because I am still only 15.
WiredDragon7429 I don’t know your technique but I do hit with feds technique and use the same prostaff RF 97 340 Grams which is fine for 40 mins of rally but after that I feel some strain in my hand thats it and elbow no problem. See if yours is also same racket then weight will be an issue until you are strong enough. Still it didn’t effect my game but I do prefer a good lighter racket in future becoz swing and pace really matters.
@@fskshj Its 366 and 360 grams and I can last for at least 2:30 hours and my coaches said my technique was on point but I should change racquets. I don't have enough money which is the problem :((
WiredDragon7429 unstrung it is 340 grams . May be you need some physioexcersises for your hand but you need to be stronger to handle this racket , do some dumbbell exercises if your hand allows right now. Do you know there are lighter versions of this racket and you can buy from EBay for less price.
Hey wireddragon I’m a former college player and a current Kinesiology lecturer. I personally think that the RF 97 is way too heavy for a player of your age. My college coach always stressed that we have to be able to play with the racket when we are fatigued, deep into our matches. In college we played 2 matches a day. First singles, then doubles. Sometime 5+ hours of playing a day. I doubt you would be able to maintain your technique deep into matches with a 340 gram racket. If you want to play tournaments or in college keep that in mind. You say that you’re feeling pain and tingling after 40 mins? That’s already enough of sign that you need to change rackets. Good technique can’t overcome an unforgiving racket setup. When I was your age I really cared about playing with players’ rackets, pro staffs/POGs etc. Eventually I started losing deep into matches, I was too stubborn. So after getting humbled I went to a lighter more forgiving racket and the wins started coming back. I hope my experience helps you out. I suggest buying a used racket or trading your racket via rent/sell trade forums. That’s what I did when I was stressed for $.
Why does his racket flatten out (hitting side of the racket faces down) so much after he hits the ball but before his right arm completely wraps around his body? I guess his racket is slightly tilted down at impact.
Because that's the way a racket naturally moves when you hit the ball and you're relaxed. Low to high is a myth - it's low to high to low if you lag the racket and whip the ball (lag and snap). Note the racket ends up most of the time around his left hip area, not at shoulder height like coaches teach you as a beginner.
Could you do a video on mental toughness? I'm quite good a tennis, but in tournaments I lose to less good players, and I have never won a tournament, only 2nd place. Great video btw!
Fluidità ed eleganza apicali. Ti prego caro Matteo Berrettini di studiare la biomeccanica di Roger ...non sarai come lui ma certamente puoi migliorare. Soprattutto con gli arti inferiori ti vedo scomposto durante l'esecuzione del dritto, il tuo colpo migliore insieme al servizio ma non si finisce mai di progredire ...giusto? Per il rovescio, il colpo per te più critico, il punto di riferimento è Djokovic naturalmente.. Non hai chiaramente la fisicità tirata ed elastica del serbo ma puoi fare certo più strada col duro lavoro ...daje!!❤💪🏻
Why have Federer and nadal both changed their racket drops at the back of their swing from earlier in the careers where they were more loopy to now where they almost wait at the bottom??
I dunno. Maybe i would try that wrist position if i was a little younger. These days for me its less about power and more about avoiding injuries by bring cunning. Not to say i wont belt it down the sideline whenever i choose to.
3 513 people put the thumb up! They like this forehand. I mean he is actually nr 1 or maybe sometimes two in the world. However 84 persons dislike this... Who are these people, it's so tragic or funny I don't know but maybe they dislike everything... at least everything that has to do with tennis. But in that case - why do they look at this? :)
That left foot step he makes during the open stance forehand at 0:56 seems unnecessary. Would he do that during match play when he is more urgent to get back to the middle?
Yes. Djokovic is the greatest of all time. But Roger will be the highest and best remembered. His legacy especially. Whay he brought to the game. Rafa is the other one.
imitating is easy but learning that is very difficult. There are many things there you cant see and understand. You can realise it after few mouths of practice.
Will Federer keep his GOAT status or can Djokovic or Nadal overtake him?
Federer will definitely keep his GOAT status
Problem is he is getting old and who knows how many more years Nadal and Djokovic can keep battling it out!?
I feel he is going to lose it 😢

Amazing footage, as being from the back you can learn more about his stroke preparation.
Couldn't agree more. Roger has the best stroke among all tennis champions.
The cleanest and hardest forehand to imitate of all the pros
Gonna use this to practice my forehand
Very helpful thanks
Best Fed video ever! Here his technique can see so clear.
Glad you enjoyed the video, who else would you like to see?
Amazing sight of the best fh / bh in the modern era...cheers 🥇🥇🥇🎖👍
He does not have the best bh in the modern era lmao

Did ya win
Starman yeah man
Hip turn/body rotation is so great

holy fk u right about that

Yes, he closes the racket angle using the wrist
Correct the strings are bouncing creating the spin and grab on the ball

Wow. The slo-motion of the stroke at time really shows the muscle imbalance between his arms. His left arm looks so skinny compared to his right.

It’s not about preventing injury it’s more for rhythm as it synchronises your body turn with the speed of your arm and hand
the racquet lag is just beautiful

best strokes in tennis , best backhand and forehand , he is so accurate hitting ball ,
So smooth

the key of this is the perfect timed wrist lag
Does anyone have advice on how I can hit it in the middle more? When I try to see if I hit it in the middle I can’t even tell.
The sound gives it away. In the center it makes a nice pop, sounds more like dead wood or has a tinging sound if you're off center.
Its good to see the structure of the swing but the real power is when he's airborne
Maestro
i watched this to see where he puts his left/right foot in forehand - seems to change depending on ball - advice ?
Why have Federer and nadal both changed their racket drops at the back of their swing from earlier in the careers where they were more loopy to now where they almost wait at the bottom??
Maybe for speed and efficiency?
Speed is what comes to mind. This is especially true as they age and younger players bring the heat.
@@manuelsoto9134 true but modern day tennis has slower courts and slower balls so surely the swing doesn’t need to be faster?
