Talk Tennis - View Single Post - Cahill: Federer is a better player now than he was 6-7 years ago

only two things he's improved is getting free points off his serve ( he was slightly more clutch back then ) and tactics at times ( not always )

anyone who thinks he's improved his bag of "tricks" is sorely mistaken ...

for example, there is this wide misconception amongst many that he developed his dropshot in 2009

look @ the 2 drop shots vs safin in 2005 after 3:10 for example :

somewhere in the match , there's also a BH lob hit on the rise with the flick of the wrist ...

also these 2 drop shots ( one of them in an exo in 2007 )

Federer's virtuoso drop shots against Sampras and Agassi

all the shots were jaffas ...
