Roger Federer Hits Another Between-The-Legs-Shot In Shanghai (VIDEO)

Roger Federer made another incredible, between-the-legs shot in Wednesday's round two match in Shanghai against John Isner. Federer has done this before. He stunned the crowd at the 2010 U.S. Open when he blew one by Brian Dabul of Argentina with the same shot. He also did it in the 2009 U.S. Open against Novak Djokovic. This time, Isner got his racquet on it, but hit the ball into the net. Scroll down to watch the amazing shot.

Roger, he is still the greatest. Among all of them, Roger is the only true genius.

Roger has a lot going on between his legs.

Federer is such an elegant player, a ballet dancer , easy on the eye and always interesting to watch... (though my favourite is Nadal).

I taught him how to do that.

Well done Roger.


You have learned well.

We are all in debt to you. Well done. Now teach that to Nadal. Thanks in advance!

This is getting old now. Even some of the ladies are doing it. And. Roger is now ranked #3. Quit lionizing him.

He was the best for years and deserves to be lionized. Don't you understand that? It is the same concept as not including Jordan's years with the Wizards in evaluating his career. Jordan changed basketball, and Federer changed tennis. Apologize.

Sorry if I touched a nerve there! My issue with HP posting this is because it is not so uncommon anymore, and even the ladies are doing it. If Federer were to win a Major, I would be just as laudatory as you.

Players have been hitting that shot for years, just not on tv.

Isner just got caught doing what many of Roger's opponents do, they devote too much attention to Roger and not enough to the ball.

That said, Go John!

My 70 year old dad does this against 20 year olds. This is really not that great an achievement. But I'm glad you're excited HP.

it's not really an achievement, most players just practice it for fun, just make sure the handle doesn't hit your nads...

Notice how well positioned he is when he strikes the ball.

Isner- way to jog back slowly and not be prepared for Federer's BTL shot. its not like Federer hasnt hit that shot MANY times before. cant be a champion by slacking and not hustling.

I sure hope he's using the racket on those type of shots... and not something else....
