Massive forehand by Federer yesterday

I think that definitely topped a 100 mph.

 

[tennis_pro]

Dat forehand hit with a smile on his face.

Edit: He almost hit a second one like 10 seconds later. By "almost" I mean that it went in but was called out by a linesman.

 

[NatF]

Yeah that was absolutely massive, one for the crowd. It was nice seeing such relaxed play from him.

 

[merwy]

Yeah that was a rocket. As tennis_pro said, he hit another one 10 seconds later. But he hit ANOTHER one earlier in the game, before the joking around with the ball boys started. And at 15-15 they played the best point of the match. Federer showed some amazing tennis in those last 2 games.

Here's the big return, followed by the great rally.

I would have loved to be a ball boy, I would have loved to keep a rally with Fed.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Pretty average.

Yeah that was pretty awesome, kinda reminds me of a younger Federer with the shot making, but then again it is an exo.

 

[tennis_pro]

Pretty average.

For your lofty standards, maybe so. But for Nadal's - that's a serie of GOAT foreahands. Not the loopy ones he's so used to hitting.

 

[Clarky21]

Awesome from Fed. Maybe he's gonna unleash this type of stuff next year so he's working on it.

 

[wy2sl0]

Did you guys watch the next actual point? Roger hit it in. That was match.

 

[The Bawss]

Yeah that one was nasty.

 

[smoledman]

With 17 slams in the bank, maybe Fed will go for broke in 2013.

 

[Rozroz]

since when he is such a clown? good to see him so free.

he got lucky. It is impossible to generate that speed with that tiny racket

 

[The Doctor]

That was, without a doubt, sexy.

 

[firepanda]

That. Is. Ridiculous. Especially on an off-forehand. Only Federer can do a slot like that.

 

[RoachTennis]

Impossible for us mortals! Obviously not for King Federer!

 

[Cup8489]

With 17 slams in the bank, maybe Fed will go for broke in 2013.

Awesome from Fed. Maybe he's gonna unleash this type of stuff next year so he's working on it.

God willing. I would like to see him just blast his way to another major.

 

[tennis_pro]

yeah he got lucky, 3 times in 1 game, talk about being lucky

 

[sureshs]

Let us see him do that in a real match

:twisted::twisted::twisted:

 

[Candide]

Yep, he sure is lucky. Just like the old saying.

"The more I practice the luckier I get."

 

[Francis27]

He whipped through that one

 

[tistrapukcipeht]

I just saw that match on Utube, amazing match!

I'd love to see an EXO, that's when Fed is really, really aggressive, doesn't hold back and hits those massive forehands.

Those for sure were at least 110 mph, and He didn't hit only one but rather 3 of them in one game, one of them hit the line but was called out.

This is the stuff why Fed is the best ever, the way He plays is one unique high classy fantastic way to play. The rest of them....

 

[mbm0912]

that one had some gas on it!

 

[forzamilan90]

i know you're trolling, but for newer kids to the forum reading this, back in the day prime Fed was ripping forehands left and right. There's a reason his FH was called best shot in the sport.

 

[Federer20042006]

Looks like 2006.

 

[smoledman]

Looks like 2006.

Smells like victory.

 

[Feather]

God willing. I would like to see him just blast his way to another major.

Feelings mutual pal, very much mutual

Counting days for AO

Counting days for AO

Dont get your hopes too high AO is not gonna be easy with Djoker,Rafa and Murraa and not to forget potential threats to cause upsets like berdych.

 

[smoledman]

I hope Fed just rips every forehand.

 

[underground]

Did anyone see Fed against Haas yesterday? He did some 2005 style FHs again, not to mention some whooping slam dunks.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

haas match was better compared to tsongas.

 

[bkpr]

since when he is such a clown? good to see him so free.

I watched the first match against Belucci (spelling?) yesterday and I thought it was kind of bizarre to see Federer in such a jovial mood. When he danced with the Gillette mascot I didn't know what what was going on! I guess I'm used to seeing him so straight faced at all times.

 

[vllaznia]

Also this one is not bad :

[Povl Carstensen]

Nice to see him enjoying his tennis. Oh I forget, he is only in it for the money, sorry...

 

[Sephiroth619]

I love seeing him smiling. I'm glad he's having fun and enjoying tennis.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Del Potro impersonation.

 

[Cup8489]

anyone have links to the haas match?

 

[RF20Lennon]

Ah! man reminded me of the good old 04-06 days what a joy it was for a fed fan back then

 

[axel89]

who won*the hass match?
