He had every shot in the book and now he's writing his own new book

Roger left a few blank pages for him

The meme just implies the writing is fire

Great shot, not at all the same

Roger fans try not to make everything about Roger challenge

It's astonishing how incredible his control is

Dude is playing multi racquet sports. This one was like a table tennis defense shot, bread and butter of TT players.

Other time he had hit a badminton drop-smash shot.

Slice dropshot volley from the baseline?! Idfk😭😭

A true successor to Roger. Thank you Alcaraz for saving Tennis from boring baseline style.

In world of Sinners and Zverevs, thank fuck for Alcaraz

A-fuk'n-men.

One of my favorite parts of his game, most dudes would backpedal and hope it falls out but he takes it aggressive and turns it into a tight drop shot

Beautiful tennis

He is a crazy, living highlight reel! And we all love it!

17. u/renome · 2026-11-07 18:15 UTC

Another one for the history reels lol. Speaking of which, can anyone think of a player with a comparable touch? Obviously consistency is key here, or otherwise we could classify Medvedev as having a good touch considering how many freak shots he made in his career. 😂

You never saw Federer play?

This sub are mainly 14-16 years olds. During Federer's prime their parents weren't even dating.

20. u/renome · 2026-11-07 18:56 UTC

My Reddit account is in the 14-16 bracket lol, my memory just isn't great. Like, I don't remember Federer having the flair to even attempt a shot like this, I mainly remember his small-wrist-flick winners when it comes to touch.
