Roger Federer Goes Between the Legs

The between-the-legs shot in tennis is similar to the flop shot in golf. Yeah, it's fun to watch, but there is a small percentage of something positive actually coming out of it. Well, unless you're Roger Federer.

In the semifinals against Novak Djokovic, Federer was up 15-30 in the final game of the third set, hoping to break Novak to cruise to a three-set win and a spot in a Grand Slam final for the 17th time in the last 18 majors. Novak hit a drop shot, Federer ran in, and after getting it back over the net, Djokovic went for the lob. Federer ran it down, hitting a between the legs winner he called his best shot ever.

Video is after the jump ...



Federer went on to win the match on the next point, and will face Juan Martin del Potro in the finals.
