Video: Federer’s Latest Tweener

Not waiting until the final weekend to pull off the shot of the event this time around, No. 2 seed Roger Federer ignited Monday’s night session with his latest tweener shot.

Some have argued that Federer’s tweener against Novak Djokovic during last year’s semifinals was better, but there’s no doubting that his latest trick shot was one of the all time greats.

Nadal and Federer Blooper Video

It appears that the future for Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer doesn’t included the heated rivalry that in once did.

Filming a video ad for an upcoming exhibition match in Switzerland, the top two players in the world shared numerous “light” moments before they were able to complete the required material.

I blame Roger more than Rafa for the overall “lack of professionalism,” but there’s no doubt that these two great champions have become even better friends in the past few years.

Update: Federer Trick Shot Video

Roger Federer has always had the ability to hit the lines on the other side of the net with precision. But when it comes to knocking bottles off the top of  another person’s head from a far distance, even Federer’s accuracy should be questionable.

However, in this new video from Gillette, Federer showcases the type of form that has helped him capture 16 Grand Slam titles.

True or false—whatever the case—this clip is something else.

Update: After Federer’s second-round victory in Cincinnati over Denis Istomin, he told the media that his trick was indeed legit.

Q. Can I ask you about a serve that you didn’t make tonight, but that’s obviously being talked about a lot on the Internet. Is that for real?
ROGER FEDERER: Oh, that thing? Yeah. Well, there’s a lot of the debate at the moment, you know. You know how it is with magicians. They don’t tell how their tricks work, you know. (Smiling.)
I don’t do it that much, but, yeah, it was shot in one piece and it was — the guy took a chance. (Smiling.) It worked out. I’m happy.
