i always always wish they would show more views from behind the player .... so we can see how violent play is. the high above angle shot makes tennis too human...
Lets credit tommy haas also here , he is matching the GOAT shot per shot ...this is pure bliss and a lesson to any juniors .. and yes the single hand backhand makes tennis look beautiful
Paul Annacone was actually a tennis player. He won the Australian Open men's doubles 1985. His best result in a grand slam single's competition is the quarter final in Wimbledon 1984. His highest rank in singles was 12, in doubles 3. Before coaching Federer, he coached Sampras and Henman. So I think that he knows the sport quite well.
@@kunjvyas7427You didn't used to be able to reply directly to a comment like you can nowadays. This is probably a reply to someone else in the comment section.
This is nice, I'm a huge fan of Federer especially his one hand backhand. Next to Pete Sampras I'd say they're the top two favorite one hand backhands. Although I also love Justin Henin's as well. Roger just moves so fluidly like a dancer on the court. He's relaxed , balanced and poised as you notice when he hits the ball he just let's his racquet do the work. It's truly beautiful to watch him hit. His court awareness, court management and overall court control is just amazing. I really love his Forehand although it's his one hand backhand that just makes the tennis ball sing. I also believe tat with all these power servers out here, Roger's serve is highly under rated. Very much like Pete's he can aim his serve where he wants and has a great deal of spin. While it may not be 150 mph his serve is definitely a weapon. Which one is Roger though?
I always felt he was a quality player with a similar style to Fed but with a slightly flatter BH. Look at his results over the last year. He is very consistent and playing with no pressure on him :)
It's a good thing you came up with the suggestion, I'm sure no one in television has ever thought of trying this angle. It'd probably work best when balls would get hit to the side and they would have to constantly pan the camera around. You'd throw up after a set.
Thanks for the clever sarcasm, however the problem you suggest would be easily solved by moving the camera back about ten feet. This angle makes it much easier to appreciate the difficulty of the shots these players hit, and their respective talents.
Tommy Haas a great player with a great one handed backhand who never won a slam! Shame! So talented but just never got over that hump! One of my fave all time players!
Ok guys Federer has most certainly changed something about his forehand. Watch him hit in 2007, he didn't use to drop the racket head as much as he does now. I don't know why he does it, but he does.
"And what a treat; above the smooth operations of this tremendous display of tennis ease, you can hear the rare cries of Francesca Schiavone giving birth. Just a tremendous scene."
High school tennis courts end 10 feet behind the baseline, however players like Rafa generally STAND bout 10 feet behind the baseline for their groundstrokes. Moving the camera to a slightly elevated position, perhaps near the first row of seats in an unobtrusive way would be a great alternative to the current camera angle which is more than 50 feet above court level. That's just my opinion though, clearly you have your own and let's leave it at that.
@brainyazn I read that he strings the mains at 52 and the crosses at something like 55 lbs. The mains are polyester and crosses are gut. Doesn't matter cause I can't play like him anyhow!
the best coaches, of all sports that i follow and i follow quite a few, were never the best players. it's always the guys that never had huge amounts of talent but worked very hard to get to where they got to. they're good coaches because didn't rely on talent, but on intelligence, hard work, technical aspects. guys with amazing talent never understood why they did things, they did it because they had so talent which can't be taught.
I thought Fed's back was injured, that's why he wasn't at IW this year? By the by, nice session...I'd like to think that Haas got such a good tuneup that in the end he was able to beat Djokovic because of it.
I think some of Rogers magic rubbed off on Haas. Not to take any credit away from him, because the man is killing the competition. He beat Djokovic in straight sets and then slaughtered Simon 6-3 6-1. I'm rooting for him against Ferrer today.
When warming up, Federer looks a little stiff, almost human, but once the match begins, he becomes the most graceful athlete who has ever lived. No wait, now I see the real Federer, I guess he needed a minute or two to begin to show who he really is.
1. most balls are waist height. 2. most of them are right down the middle... knee bend happens a lot more when you are catching the ball not at the ideal height (late, out wide, etc) or stopping quickly or changing direction. he's pretty sedentary here.
The former world number two, olympic finalist and many times grand slam halffinalist isnt a noob! By the way he won the first two sets against federer at the 2009 french open and one wimbledon. And he bet him last year on gras in Halle in two sets. I mean this is tommy haas .......!
If it's not difficult fo find, please tell me the one(s) you're referring to; I'd be interested in reading it. That being talent is something outside of hard work and something you are born with. Not trying to be sarcastic here - genuinely want to know.
If there was a match going on at the same time as Fed was practicing, I bet there are more spectators watching The Fed practice. I mean, jus look at the people.
And where would you move the camera 10 feet back on a tennis court that ends 10 feet behind the baseline ? Not to mention that, at that level, you'd have ball boys and line judges walking by all the time. They're not there during practice, but they are during matches, you know...
One of the best camera angle ever !
c
i always always wish they would show more views from behind the player .... so we can see how violent play is. the high above angle shot makes tennis too human...
these guys make tennis look easy
Tennis is easy................
ONLY in training
@@G650-t2q It's still ridiculously hard to be this good in training lol.
I love the sound of federers racquet when he hits a forehand
That top spin backhand is a thing of beauty !
Wow, this angle really gives great view of how perfect control Federer has...
Lets credit tommy haas also here , he is matching the GOAT shot per shot ...this is pure bliss and a lesson to any juniors .. and yes the single hand backhand makes tennis look beautiful
wow all of federer's motions are fluid almost no error. its pretty amazing to watch.
Federer's shot at 2:03 is just incredible. The power and height over net is perfection. What a man
This guys form really is a thing of beauty. Rather his play style over Djokavic any day.
they both hit such a beautiful ball
I miss watching him play
Great to see two of the best with one handed backhands.
Paul Annacone was actually a tennis player. He won the Australian Open men's doubles 1985. His best result in a grand slam single's competition is the quarter final in Wimbledon 1984.

who is arguing about his tennis knowledge?

+Christopher Tan hahahaha! I just read that. hilaarious
sampras had no backhand lol
@@thientran9461 Pete had an okay backhand early in his career though
Not sure about Street Fighter, but Federer always has the coolest outfits

Australian Open uses this angle on some points
more more more footage of this session please !!!!!!
Even Djokovic can't keep his eyes off of this rally.
What do you mean? Djokovic wasn't in this video.
Why did you stop recording?? I could watch this all day.
the guy in blue seem familiar
clearly LOL
The other Guy a former no 2 in the Atp and now the Tournament Director from Indian Wells and very glad a few Minutes on the court.
thats roger federer idiot, the guy whos won 20 GRAND SLAMS. i cant take the stupidity.....
80M you’ve been woooshed
80M he was making a joke
Love the 90 sq inch Federer era!
Thanks for the clever sarcasm, however the problem you suggest would be easily solved by moving the camera back about ten feet. This angle makes it much easier to appreciate the difficulty of the shots these players hit, and their respective talents.
So they went right onto the court. Thanks for answering my question! -.-
Such beautiful strokes.
love this camera angle
Amazing backhands!
Wow 2 of beast tennis players 😮😮😮🎉🎉
thx mate!
so satisfying :)
i love how there are more people watching this practice than there are at most of Murray's or Djokovic's matches!
i just the sound when the ball hits the racket
Tommy Haas a great player with a great one handed backhand who never won a slam! Shame! So talented but just never got over that hump! One of my fave all time players!
Solid USTA 4.0. Don't give up.
He's 35 dude. Plus he's only been injury free for a bit over year. Considering all that, a ranking inside the top 20 is miraculous.
Awsome practice
it always astonishes me at how little knee bend Federer does during his practice sessions
Ok guys Federer has most certainly changed something about his forehand. Watch him hit in 2007, he didn't use to drop the racket head as much as he does now. I don't know why he does it, but he does.
Thanks for the video dopelope. Hope you had/are having a great time at the tournament. What other tournaments have you been to?

everyone spread this, make it happen.
Grande tennista e grande uomo!!!
Actually, annocone played many years on the atp tour and i believe reached the top 10 at one point.
mesmerizing

belles games. ;)
one-handed backhand FTW!
Normally I would find the random laughing at the end to be annoying, but today I actually find it rather amusing!

Great video! Could we share it on our channel and credit you? Many thanks from Love Tennis
Yep no problem
they are not playing against each other they are practicing
Who is the guy in blue with the dodgy forehand ?
Louis Cyphre Are you okay? It's Roger Federer!
Maybe Louis' eyes are messed up.
I heard Schiabone's voice from this video
Federer was #2 in the world here.
nice
RF the best tennis player ever!!

probably the closest player in playing style to federer... beautiful strokes .. tommy haas
NO
@@sirjain4408 he is to me lol...whos the closest to you?
@@thejonesbass there are not a lot of people who play as efficient as Federer haha - I respect your opinion
@@thejonesbass AHHH maybe you are right he is close
@@sirjain4408 hahahaha respect 👊🏿👊🏿
You know you are good when you dont have to pick up balls when you practice.
I thought the same thing, he's almost always straight up.
so beautiful
how about tennis tricks? ;) (they miiiiight be on our channel :P)
God's backhand.
Nicola Aldo Galatro Yes, but my better.
1. most balls are waist height. 2. most of them are right down the middle... knee bend happens a lot more when you are catching the ball not at the ideal height (late, out wide, etc) or stopping quickly or changing direction. he's pretty sedentary here.
was that Schiavone at 0:09 ?
Sublime shots, but I don't get why they're so inconsistent here.

Playing tennis seems so easy here !
Excuse me... Where's the rest????
Dat forehand
i wish i could hit this smoothly.
MOOORE!!!!!
It's called warming up... try it some time.
Schiavone is everywhere
この頃のラケットか〜。
If there was a match going on at the same time as Fed was practicing, I bet there are more spectators watching The Fed practice. I mean, jus look at the people.
WHY don't they film matches from this angle? Whyyyyy,
1:57 2:13 - Crazy laughter
Did anyone else notice that wrist snap at 1:20???
Effortless power and control= perfect technique. Use federer as an example for your own game.
MORE MORE MORE MORE GIVE ME MORE MORE MORE
please :)
great comment this.
who was his practice partner?
And where would you move the camera 10 feet back on a tennis court that ends 10 feet behind the baseline ? Not to mention that, at that level, you'd have ball boys and line judges walking by all the time. They're not there during practice, but they are during matches, you know...
back when his coach's racket had a bigger headsize than his
Funniest thing I've read today ... 'cause it's sooo true for me. Must stop watching now.
Haas a legend??!!
roninsana yes, he is
1:30 wow
Why did that not work as a link LOL
Edit: Oh probably because this was years ago when they did not exist. Gotcha
Roger Federer strings his racquets in the high 40s to low 50s.
