Because his movement is in line with his momentum, his body is not contorted against his inertia. Djokovic is the opposite. Human gumby. It works for both. I've seen both players play up close. Djokovic's shots are harder to anticipate because he has so much leeway in how he can contort his body on command.
He lands on his split just when the other guy is hitting the ball, just a perfect rhythm. That's what I'm trying to pick up right now watching fed's practices.
These aren't "2 people". If you chose to watch me and my main tennis partner hitting, then you'd be right -- you'd really have to love tennis. Federer and Thiem? At court level? A privilege.
absolutely. Roger is an artist. Thiem is a warrior. Tons to appreciate about both, but some people will naturally gravitate to certain qualities that they hold in higher esteem.
great! - I find most stunning he vicious velocity with which he decapitates (closest word in my fundus) his BH slices. these things land and bury themselves like mulls into the ground, like Graf´s but with even more !American twist", i.e. outward spin so that all his prey can do is (on his lucky day) see the death stalker coming early enough to somehow shovel it up. NASTY. imagine a ball popping whilst landing: that effect. Maybe THIS ONE he omits st. in order to make it a game and not an embarassment. Nothing to do with a decent flat slice; nothing to be done w/these "reversed Rafa-FHs" hit harder than any drive or topspin. Sadism.
You know someone is incredibly skilled at any art when they make it look effortless and simple. Every time I watch these kinds of practice videos I feel I can get on the court and emulate these professionals - only to realize how much training and practice it requires. And then some more. Just mesmerizing to watch these.
Even if you’re not fan of tennis you can still watch Fed and appreciate his greatness. Just flat out ridiculous how natural and pure this man is . Then he even has the confidence and class to purposely hit net shots in warm ups to make his opponent feel at ease. Out of this world
I love watching Federer, his tennis is practically perfect Dominic Thiem...he's a great up and coming talent. I hope to see him win a calendar GS, I think he will win each of the GSs
Who else spotted this hidden bit of Swiss sorcery? 👀 🧙🏼♂️ Behold @ 9:12 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 - Chatting with Luthi - No-look catch of Domi's slice T-serve with left hand - Still chatting with Luthi - Domi hits another T-serve with even more slice - Fred *swaps racquet to left hand* and *catches serve with his right*
Every time there’s a Federer practice video, people comment that they’ve never seen anything like it, nobody has ever played like this, he’s in unstoppable form. Then he gets knocked out by Grigor freakin’ Dimitrov.
Why can’t tennis matches show these camera angles once in a while???? You can’t appreciate the artistry of these players from the way matches are televised today
Footwork is key. Footwork + Solid Consistent Swing > Everything. If you want to improve but training takes a lot of time. Practice those two. Then supplement it with everyting else.
Amazing video 👏👏
Anyone else find this ultimately therapeutic
no
Yesss
Yes
Yes
Yes
federer's game is truly a thing of beauty
fredettaboutit
That was unnecessary
he doesn't hit the ball, he caresses it
Man Federer’s movement looks like liquid. Just so aesthetically pleasing

geepeeone where I can read more about that?
That's part of his genius- fluidity of movement.
I think he has the perfect body for tennis and his timing and strokes are sublime.
I would rather watch him than any other player.
He lands on his split just when the other guy is hitting the ball, just a perfect rhythm. That's what I'm trying to pick up right now watching fed's practices.
You know you love tennis when you enjoy just watching 2 people rally back and forth
I think I enjoy this more than watching a full match haha
then you know you understand tennis than the average enthusiast when you know the quality of this rally isn't easy
@@bensonnyborja2008 I know right. They make it look easy.
These aren't "2 people". If you chose to watch me and my main tennis partner hitting, then you'd be right -- you'd really have to love tennis. Federer and Thiem? At court level? A privilege.
This is a much more interesting view to watch than the typical television “birds eye” coverage we see in tournaments. You actually feel amongst it.
Hope soon they use this PoV with more frequency
@@visualdajoy they use it it some rallies from time to time
Thiem is a fantastic player, but something has to be said about the way Roger cuts up every single ball like butter. The man's an artist.
absolutely. Roger is an artist. Thiem is a warrior. Tons to appreciate about both, but some people will naturally gravitate to certain qualities that they hold in higher esteem.
Well said. Fed j bends the ball to his will. It's j that talent.

Grace, like a dancer
Why is this so satisfying
That's exactly what I thought
@@koppenknyul7113 great minds think alike(including me)
They are always balanced
Because it's what tennis should look like, but most of us can't produce anything like that
Because 1. fed is so much relaxed in his strokes,truly effortless 2. And the balls is always returned,continuity
Roger is poetry in motion

until "is." your comment makes perfect sense; the rest is silence. or some antipsychotic pill.
Thiem is not his opponent. They don’t do warm-ups like that at pro-level. Hitting net shots to make opponent feel at ease? No.
@@jensmaass9056 r/whoosh
When Federer practices, there are more people in the stadium than in some Grand Slam Games
I was there! My dad and I were so excited to see the GOAT.🐐🐐🐐
Roger is truly a marvel. He changed the entire game for the better.
Can actually watch this all day. Poetry in motion.
Best ATP practice videos out there, as always.
9:13 Federer is just so elegant and effortless with everything he does
such a piece of art, the paradigm of aesthetics.
I can watch this all day!! Thanks!
Federer’s tennis is unbelievably amazing!
I can literally watch this all day
Amazing video quality - thanks for creating this video!
We should look into getting this video technology :)
josh w the newer cell phone can do it. Actually think mine can but it takes up too much memory.
this is really relaxing
The most gifted and the hardest worker, both with beautiful one handed backhands. Both really well liked and respected on the tour. Inspirations.
It's so therapeutic, I could fall asleep to this.
Thank you for this! 🙏
Fed is tennis's "only true genius". A *never-before-never-again phenomenon!*
Fantastic tennis
They both demonstrate excellent form and mechanic during practice. I watched a couple games of Them, he hit the ball really hard.
So fun to watch........ Federer is a like a balerin of tennis, his game is so beautiful and effortless... living legend.
Sometimes a good practice is the highlight of the tournament.and i've seen many to know.
I love watching Federer, his tennis is practically perfect
Dominic Thiem...he's a great up and coming talent. I hope to see him win a calendar GS, I think he will win each of the GSs

Great video love the editing.
Never again such grace and beauty. And on the other side is a player who also looks amazing on the court...
When i have insomnia i watch federer practice videos. Good night~
Oh how I love these two!
Their rhythm is so hypnotic.
Tis a thing of beauty.
Love all your videos
The most talented tennis player with the best technique ever.
Those slices... they look so scary. :D Amazing video!
So relaxing, better than rain sounds!
My fav tennis practice video❤
Federer is the most aesthetic sportsperson of all time. Outrageous
Fed being so relaxed and Thiem's slightly exaggerated form makes it look like Federer is coaching Thiem
Federer hits the ball so beautifully....
I feel like Federer drove Thiem to this practice match, then realized they were playing each other.
So smooth, so elegant, so effortless!
calm, in control, relaxed, very professional~~ :)
More fans watching Fed practice than a Djocovic match lol.that says alot.
No one likes Djokovic. 😂
ずっと見てられる〜♪
the almost effortless generation of pace and spin, unbelievable level of tennis
this is hypnotizing
So soothing watching this 😀
love Roger~
Smooth as silk. Like a hand of God.
Lovely to watch pro tennis without commentary
He makes art playing the game, even in practice. This is why is the best player in the history for me, he makes art playing tenis.
can anyone make a playlist of these long rally sessions of training? this is so satisfying to watch...
so effortless
That slice backhand 🤩
Federer's forehand is purely artistic
Mesmerizing
So many fans watching them practice
2 things:
Roger's serve is the most glorious shot in tennis.
Roger's calves are insane.
I agree. His serve is the most elegant part of the prettiest game of all time. His game is just gorgeous to watch.
@@gqnelly prettiest game of all time? Ever watched Nadal play mate? It's brutal to watch
Ben Parsons huh? Nadal’s game is opposite of pretty (not saying in a bad way).
@@goxaviergo11 exactly
@@benparsons4979 honestly speaking Nadal makes Tennis look way hard than it is while it’s opposite for Roger.
Wow! Can't wait to come to the 2024 U.S Open!! Just booked tickets!!!!!
If you want to see Federer you may want to bump that up to 2022.
Im poor 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻MBDTF>existence
Who else spotted this hidden bit of Swiss sorcery? 👀 🧙🏼♂️
Behold @ 9:12
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
- Chatting with Luthi
- No-look catch of Domi's slice T-serve with left hand
- Still chatting with Luthi
- Domi hits another T-serve with even more slice
- Fred *swaps racquet to left hand* and *catches serve with his right*
Love you Roger
Wish I was this relaxed like Federer
linton blaise my problem too. Looks like he has so much time.
Genius at work.
There are more fans here than virtually any women's match.
they are truly firing canon balls at each other
Roger's backhand slice is godly.
Every time there’s a Federer practice video, people comment that they’ve never seen anything like it, nobody has ever played like this, he’s in unstoppable form. Then he gets knocked out by Grigor freakin’ Dimitrov.
Awesome content.
The two classiest men in tennis
God, I miss Federer on the tour.
The most effortless strokes with the most power/spin ever
Why can’t tennis matches show these camera angles once in a while????
You can’t appreciate the artistry of these players from the way matches are televised today
Very nice video ❤
Watchng Audiences’s head keep following the ball..left..right...satisfying
que claseeee
My two fav players... 🇦🇹❤️🇨🇭
Was this on Arthur Ashe kids day? Which day of the week? Thanks.
Footwork is key. Footwork + Solid Consistent Swing > Everything. If you want to improve but training takes a lot of time. Practice those two. Then supplement it with everyting else.
How long did they practice for? And how long did they play points for? I feel like they would have rallied for longer right?
When you watch someone at the top of their craft, it's just pure art.
Federer the footwork master
That one handed backhand 🔥
13:59 Roger´s two handed backhand
He does one at 9:39
this is therapy
Bro tennis matches should be recorded on this camera for tv
Hey, when it's the best time to go to the US Open and watch practices like in this video and maybe catch an autograph?
Those backhands 😍 one-handed backhand is slowly going extinct...
The GOAT and The Dominigga💪💪💪
I was there. Better than some official games of the tournament.
three great tennis players; Federer, Thiem, and Massu ...
You forgot Ivan...
So relaxing....
What camera are u using ad? Thanks
13:09 Kick!
I don’t know why but this is sooo satisfying
