Top 100 Shots of Roger Federer

[GameSetAndMath]

Sometime ago, I found the following video (Top 100 Shots by Federer) on the internet and watched it.
I tried to post it in the forum and before that it got banned due to copyright issues with ATP.
However, the ATP has now magnanimously allowed it as long as one does not make profit
from it. So, please do not mail me your checks worth $100 for each view. Also, please do not
charge your friends when you show them this video.

It doesn't play. Are you sure you got the link right?

It plays for me. Initially it would appear as though it won't play. If you wait
for a minute or so, it would start playing.

Did you remember to mail the check? Do so and then try again.

I adjusted the link, so I can now see it. It could have been a browser-specific thing which made it work for you but not me.

The top two shots are my top two Federer shots as well.

I believe that the top 3 shots were handpicked by Federer himself. He was asked about
what he thinks are his best shots in a press conference in 2014 ( I believe in IW or M)
and he gave a few (top 3 or 5, I don't remember). That is from where, this fan took
inspiration and compiled the top 100 video.

I think the get against Agasi is probably better than the return of the smash against Roddick.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Commentary after point 39 is the understatement of the decade...still a good call. Also very timely, Jmac after point 23...

That is the ultimate squash dig.

So many of these points coming from the various backhand flicks of the wrist. Amazing.

The tweener against Nole, semi of the US Open, best shot ever... :clap

 

[Kieran]

Actually, it's hard to stick to one. #3, that incredible forehand against Murray. It's kind of an inside out cross court drop shot - but that doesn't even come close to describing it.

It's ridiculous, that's a better description... :clap

 

[Federberg]

#81 the running forehand against Seppi encapsulates my frustration with people who say he's as good as he was. Does anyone believe he would make that shot now? Now it would be the retrieval squash shot... at best! I'm not even sure he gets there anymore.. Great montage.

When you take the context and execution into consideration as well --- this shot stands out even more to me. ("Insert sensational Robbie Koenig quote here").

Overrated

Also very timely, Jmac after point 23...

Had it been anyone else, I'd be super impressed with the prophetic nature of the call. Coming from Mac though, I can't, since he probably said the same thing about Dimitrov at some recent tournament

I had to blink when I saw that shot live...It wasn't that he pulled it off. It was that he even attempted a shot like that! What improv there...Crazy.

 

[coban]

We should gather a list of Robbie Koenig sensational quotes, that guy is amazing;-)

 

[shawnbm]

Yes, even though he doesn't have quite the "lovely variation" of his collegue, Jason Goodall.

 

[isabelle]

His top shot is his fatherhood ( with no doubt ...)
