Roger Federer had such a complete game but I think his forehand was his best shot #Tennis #forehand

  1. Federer is the only player in the history of Tennis who had no weaknesses
    That's the real measurement
    Talking separated about his forhand, backhand…. makes no sence

  2. I think if you break down every part of Fed's game into just the single shot, you would be hard pressed to find any one weapon to be the best on tour, minus perhaps a few seasons in his career. However, each individual shot was just good enough to do JUST the right amount of damage. If we take the classic way federer wins a point, it typically starts with a serve that is neither the fastest nor the heaviest, but it is usually hit with just enough speed, just enough accuracy for the serve to be very dangerous. This is the followed by a forehand that is taken extremely early and well disguised enough that you don't quite know which way it is going. If this isn't enough, then most times the 3rd shot is. Federer won't be your guy if your life depended on an ace, he isn't your guy if your life depended on the next ball being retrieved, and he isn't your guy if you need the next forehand to smoke the ball. But he is your guy if you need the rally to be won within the first 3 shots.

  3. stats dont tell the entire story , roger is the goat, sorry he didnt take his 3 match points in his 3 five setters against djokovich …it could have ended up 22/22… djokovich younger mind was mentally sharper to seal those wins..

  4. Federer is a legend if he is not the goat, not only for his achievements but his skills and technique, his best shot was his forehand, but it’s not even in the two best all times? 😂what is that logic?…😂

  5. I think you are a very conservative guy. It is hard for you to except that Federer has the best forehand. I bet you also don't like one handed backhand. Not even Wawrinka's.

  6. Throughout Roger Federer’s decades-long career, his serve stood out as his most valuable weapon, bailing him out of countless tight spots—but who am I to judge?

  7. Federer forehand is the most universal forehands the game has ever seen. And I have yet seen anyone in his prime or at the end of his career who out hit him on that side. Agassi, Sampras, Lendl and Borgs forehand are probably the top best with Nadal.
