the POP POP sounds so mesmerizing. unreal how easy it seems to be. best volley of all times. GOAT

Two keys: 1) excellent footwork; 2) tracking every ball with his eyes.

...he is like good mother to each ball...look at Thiem, he's tracking, but he's close eyes at the moment of touch

His shots are just so beautiful man

thanks for the upload! great work

I can watch this non-stop.

He makes this look so easy it's infuriating, lol.

35 years practice sir 😊

for those who want to reference to his volleys, look at his feet and weight transfer... there isn't a single incidence where his weight is on his back foot...

@accel10s

Actually you are completely wrong. Almost every time he contacts the ball his weight is on the ball of his back foot as he is in mid stride to his front foot. His commits his weight shift completely to the front for foot as he drives the ball to the target. Yes he is moving forward on contact but if your weight is already on your front foot prior to contact then there is no place that you can shift forward to. This is such an old myth that has long ago been debunked. Always set on your back foot and shift to the front through contact but never commit fully to the front foot prior to contact. This is the key to a perfectly timed weight shift.

​@@accel10s I am assuming that the last sentence caused the confusion but it would be more clear if "at the end of his volley" was at the end of the sentence. I thought it was self-explanatory but sorry for the confusion.

박효진 agreed, thanks. I find that most intermediate players make the mistake of shifting the weight to the front foot much too early on the volley, hence my cautionary advice of not being on the back foot.

He's talking about his momentum, it's always going forward. It needs to be going forward on all shots, at all times. It is immensely important.

awesome....

he slices every. volley..

He has the reflexes of a jedi.

So effortless and free. Unlike my forced volleys 😢

Ay guys, the person that uploaded this is someone who I know :D

that backhand volley... GOAT

What a clear video, thanks! It all looks so easy, until you realise everything is correct and effortless, all with a 340g racket, scary.

The best

hebat...

It's just like my vollies! The only difference is mine is either out or at the net.

My favorite player is Rafael... But never, ever ever count out the Fed! I believe he's gonna play till he's 45.

Now i'm rewatching it the thousandth time, I still don't understand how they make the zoom look so weird. Everything is proportionally weird. The net look so high, and federer still look like he stands so close to the net, the audiences is so close to the court.

So-- are they both practicing equally, or is Federer doing the practicing and Goffin the helper in this exercise?

He's practicing with David Goffin?

Fed does wag his racquet a lot on his volleys but he can get away with it since he plays singles. In doubles he’d need to shorten it.

i wonder who he was playing after this warm up? where are we at in the tournament, in other words? i bet we're pretty far along. he is a little bit more intent/serious here.

Ok, 450,000 views and 19 comments? And no offense, but some of them aren’t even really true or of much depth of thought. Here we go: 1. He does hit a couple volleys “on his back foot (at :14, :16),” but it’s no big deal. He performed the unit turn pivot and loaded up who’s weight in tr outside foot, and didn’t have time or space to come off it. It’s not a groundstroke. It’s not really an angular momentum stroke. It’s more of a linear momentum push or swipe. 2. He “tracks the ball with his eyes.” Yes, that’s how humans track things, with their vision. 3. These are unrealistic volleys. He’s not really practicing. He’s warming up. He is getting balls down the middle of the court, which pros rarely see in matches. Passing shots are usually hit to the sides of players, not at them. This is not great practice. He does go back to the service line sometimes though, simulating practicing a first volley. For better practice, more realistic practice, he should back up and start again every couple volleys. 4. He’s using more shoulder turn on the backhand volley, partially because that’s how Bh volleys are hit, and also because his grip favors the forehand slightly, an Australian grip, and he’s not changing much or at all for the backhand. His fh volley is flatter, and his bv has more underspin, because of his grip. 5. He’s the most talented volleyer in the history of tennis, seemingly equal to McEnroe. 6. His overhead is simple. It’s a pleasure to watch him on KZread, TV or live. I’ve seen him twice from the front row.
