Discussing the iconic drop shot played by Roger Federer against Zverev and its influence on the tennis community.
Summary
- Fans reminiscing about Federer’s exceptional drop shots.
- Debate on whether Medvedev’s shot was intentional or luck.
- Admiration for Federer’s elegance and skill.
Roger’s Elegance
Lol of course, Med said after the match that it wasn’t intentional or planned and that the return just happened that way. Still, I just saw this return drop-shot from Federer against Zverev at Rome in 2016 and immediately thought of the AO 2024 one. I also learnt that Federer did this a LOT! There are like so many compilations and they’re all SO good!
Fan Nostalgia
I feel old knowing that I remember watching both. Hot take but Roger’s kits from 15-16 were the best of the 2010s era. Federer was so OP. The desperation of being a Medvedev fan, when he hasn’t done anything other than this in a year.
Impact on Tennis
He makes it look so effortless. Love that they’re both against Zverev. Roger was elegant. We were lucky to see him play. I cannot overstate to people who haven’t played tennis how absurd that Fed return is. Roger is the GOAT.
