Roger Federer Hits A Tweener While Running Sideways At Wimbledon

Not sure why he did it, but we're glad that he did.

Today in Roger-Federer-Is-Really-Awesome-At-Tennis News, we bring you this shot the Swiss player finessed during his second round match at Wimbledon against Sam Querrey on Thursday.

Here's another look at the play in full.

Seems to be a move Federer has perfected. He and fellow tennis player, Grigor Dimitrov, fired off two consecutive tweeners during an exhibition match earlier this year, albeit in the more traditional running-backward manner.

The No. 1 tennis player, of course, went on to win the match on Thursday, 6-4, 6-4. 6-2. We'll be expecting a between-the-leg shot from Federer in each round going forward.
