My Training with Roger Federer 

looks like you are playing at Queens Wirth the Voiceover at Chiswick Riverside

he is not the goat though, sad to say, but hes the 3rd best in the whole history. Rafa is #1 atm with 22 slams and Djoko is #2 with 21 slams.

@@scottwarren4998 Yes, Fed is not as good as those two. Nadal was consistently beating Roger during Fed's prime so that males Rafa an even bigger legend. Djoker beat Fed at Wimbledon on 3 different finals. So who's better on grass?

On the backhand Roger hits the ball flat with power. He does use his finish to spin the ball but he uses the racquet's edge to generate all of that pace and that finish combined with the racquet's edge generates the spin and precision on the ball so he can aim anywhere in the court. He likes to flatten out the ball. I just recently made the change to using more of the racquet edge to allow me drive flat with pace so there's no trouble with generating flat pace when using the racquet's edge. So I'm just waiting for all the spin to return back after making the change to switching from hitting from the middle of the racquet to using more of the racquet's edge.... But what I like about Roger's Backhand is that he just always goes for the shot using that inside edge. He is vicious with that Flare Finish on the ball.. You been on the receiving end of his pronation drives. These balls are different to the normal player drives..Efffortless power and pace coming off the ball. He can slice the ball just inches over the netcord with pronation to also surprise his opponents. What you call the saber slice. And its because its using the racquet's edge for pronation thats why it slices the ball so flat and low and nasty like that. I do that type of slice as well and it allows you to skim the ball inches over the net. but not as good as Roger can do it.... Or he can use the high flat slice backhand off your serve as a return to just flatten your serve all out and that makes him dangerous. He just draws the racquet back and pushes it all out into the ball and unfolds the racquet and hes hitting the ball using the racquet's edge,... There's no big excessive swinging with him.

@@pdcdesign9632 Also, Djokovic leads like 12-6 vs federer in slam-matches just like nadal, check the facts. Yes, and djokovic did better vs nadal than federer did vs nadal, in fact much better.

They do, although I'm sure Roger hits harder than many, even in retirement.

So true, was just noticing the sound of the racket contact, incredible

😱looks stressful

How long does it take to learn to hit like that

@ZAWSA Loads of vids on youtube that can show top spin, better to watch that me write it tbh

Absolutely

Proper technique. Kinetic chain and how his racket is balanced. All synergistically delivered in a beautifully masterful strike.

Yeah, Federer started playing at eight years old.

@@bobans It's not enough to start at 8 years old, even earlier, else there would be millions players like him.

@@fredericlefebvre8766 that is what I read about Federer. You can start at 3 years old, but if you don't have the genetics, you will be mediocre.

An artists and purely offensive player. Only Problem is that his ice behavior wasn't great for entertainment purposes.

Ok bud 😂

And Stefan Edberg on his side of the court too, for the bonus 🤩

He could have raised many more- should have been on 25-26.

Talent didn't help him at 40-15 though did it, at Wimbledon? Or did God make him lose, and choke?

@@pauljohnson6019 Why are you seeking attention Paul? Don't you have better things to do?

@@whokilledpitou Just spitting facts, not seeking attention, I did a whole video review on Federer's 2019 Wimbledon shambles.

@@pauljohnson6019 How does that relate to the video at hand? The video is celebrating Federer's career, it is not the kind of video you make a negative comment on.

@@whokilledpitou More a realistic comment, I don't like sugarcoating, I just can't bear the thought of him ending his career like this, only God knows why.

Thank you for watching 👍 Any lessons you would like to see in 2023?

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial there are many lessons out there on techniques for strokes. I think what would be useful is something along the lines of footwork or strategy for being able to handle balls that start coming faster as you move up through the rankings.

I agree. I really appreciate the different camera angles on his serves and rallying and backhand !

🙏

Is jealousy OK, asking for a friend :)

Its called technique

​@@harjap9542 and feel

@@harjap9542sure buddy, except for the fact that nobody else can do it this well...

Thanks for watching

Looks nice, but not even close to being the best 1HB out there

@@misevibrewho is better?

@@Cleveland_Rocks Stan, Gasquet...those players weaponized their one handers unlike Rodger. Federer had a more successful overall career, but that is not what we are talking about.

@@misevibregasquet no wtf

It's better to focus on fewer things than everything at once since not everyone is roger.

@@YuzukiEba great point

@@YuzukiEba true but we need to have the same mindset as roger fedrer’s

If a pro tennis institute implement a strict all-round programme for juniors where each technique is levelled out in practise time, 99% of all these players would walk into a Sinner copy around 15 y/o and get murdered.

🩰

Thanks for watching

Absolutely 👍

One of ?

Hey Joe - just had the exact same impression watching this. No fear of failure / mistakes. Trust the process and try out things in this fearless manner. Alex mentioned that in his video - commit on every shot

Exactly. Roger is a shot maker - if he wins or loses, it's on his terms.

I don't know if it was in but damn is it badass.

the ball literally disappeared

Many thanks 🙏

Thanks for watching

Absolutely

Stefan is a legend

Yep, done using the racquet's edge.

🙏

Couldn't agree more!

Many thanks 🙏

I totally agree… I actually think he played his best ever tennis in 2015… the only difference is in 2017 there was no peak Novak to go against.

@@abdulmuhammad8339 lol L take

@@abdulmuhammad8339 lolz. His best Tennis would have thrashed the pusher Djokovic.

2015-2019 was his peak level.

One thing with pros is they go very hard in practice, so they miss a lot of shots. It makes them more confident when playing more carefully in matches.

Thanks for watching

gifted I think I have to give it to Kyrgios but in every other aspect it's Roger, Nadal and Novak in a league of their own

@@TonySoares17 you think wrong. and dont put rafa and novak on the same sentence as roger, man was on a different league, its just your eyes that cant see it

So sad that he has retired!

Maybe in a computer game 😂 🎮

@@K4R3N haha

I happen to think you are spot on for most of it. I have seen so many different players, but I will never again see anyone play tennis like Roger Federer. It cannot be overemphasized just how complete a player is Roger. He literally does it all, while creating new shots.

Lifetime opportunity, you're one lucky bloke. Congrats

Like Roger, you (and Simon) impress me as a gentleman on court. It's seldom referenced in lessons, but very important, at least from my perspective. Great video. Thank you.

What a beauty !! Thank you for share this complete video !! Its amazing !!

One of the best Roger's practice video ever! I can image your happiness. Who was the italian man speaking at 14:10?
