You Never Know! Anything Goes!

Roger Federer

Currently the World number one and five-time defending champion, Roger Federer moves to the men’s final of the US Open on Sunday. He defeated Serbian fourth seed Novak Djokovic in a 7-6 (7/3), 7-5, 7-5 win in his most amazing shot in his tennis career.

Federer will play for his sixth consecutive US Open title, 16th career Grand Slam title and a 1.6 million-dollar top prize against Argentine sixth seed Juan Martin del Potro on Monday.

Going back to the most talked about Federer’s move on the semi-final that caused him his triumph. Federer whacked the ball in style as he moves back-to-the-net, between-the-legs, cross-court winner from the baseline. The crowd was hysterical and he got his opponent shocked. Even Federer himself was stunned by this as they watched the replay on a television saying, “That’s unbelievable.” It is indeed.

“I do (practice) them a lot actually but they never work,” Federer said. “That’s why I guess it was the greatest shot I ever hit in my life.”

Djokovic was serving at 0-30 and lured Federer to the net, then lofted a lob to the back line that sent Federer dashing to run it down. Without thinking about it twice, Federer jumped above the ball, lowered his racket and hit the ball between his legs which sent it to over the net and into the empty part of the court. It was perfect.

“I was in a difficult position. I had nothing to lose,” Federer said.

The crowd applauded and Fereder won after two hours and 34 minutes.

“In these moments he comes up with some great shots,” Djokovic said. “That shot. You heard the crowd. What can you say? You say well done. Too good. What can you do?”

In tennis, have you seen any moves as good as or much better than what Federer just displayed?
