Look at this backhand by Tsonga and forehand by Federer.

Tsonga's shot was ferocious. Federer's well disguised.

Those were nice shots, but not nice enough to have a thread dedicated to them. That's just me though.

I agree.

Fed and Tsonga hit shots like that not uncommonly (esp. Fed).

Why doesn't the thread become a petition? Instead of being dedicated to the highlights, it can call for its own termination. So, anyone who makes any comment in the thread casts his vote, thereby, for the mods to shut down the thread. And if you disagree, I can charge you likewise with having spoken undeservedly. Sound good? Cheers

I remember that Fed forehand and honestly it's being able to hit shots like that from similar setups and stance nuances on a consistent basis that will bring forward the future evolution of tennis and undo the currently imbalanced strengths of being able to move well and defend well. If a player comes along who has the talent and bravery and the sort of scientific mind to develop a technique that allows them to hit not just standard strokes, but unorthodox angles from atypical setups as well as typical setups, then they will undo any premier defender even if they are as fast as Usain Bolt.

You cannot defend against that which you cannot see.
