Federer the Featherer

<![CDATA[The pefect grass-court player executes the peRFect drop shot at Wimbledon.]]>

Roger Federer es tan bueno que hace el zero shiki drop shot en la vida real. Ese cabrón es un anime. pic.twitter.com/1qhaC2yU7s

— Will (@werwill) July 10, 2017 You have your drop shots and you have your excellent drop shots and you have your flubbed drop shots. Yes, droppers come in all shapes and sizes, and come in all situations too, particularly on grass.But rarely do they come off a return, and even rarer do they happen to be struck this exquisitely.This drop shot by Roger Federer against the hard-serving Milos Raonic is, quite simply, as good as they come. Feathered fabulously, it hardly clears the net before gently nestling into the 8 millimeter-length blades of grass up near the net where players hardly tread these days. ]]>
