Never gets old 😍 @rogerfederer #NoventiOpen
Roger Federer's one-handed backhand is a thing of beauty as yesterday he proved it's still as good as ever.
The one-handed backhand is a rarity in modern tennis yet Roger Federer never shied away from showcasing his. Such was the case yesterday in the match against Auger-Aliassime. The Swiss maestro played a great first set winning it 6-4 before losing the next two 6-3 6-2. At 3-3 in the first set, Feder got his first break point and he converted it with a beauty.
Federer countered the forehand of Auger-Aliassime with a beautiful backhand passing shot that was spot on. It won him the game on Auger-Aliassime's serve which proved crucial in the first set. It was a beautiful thing to see especially considering shots like this are extremely rare due to the one-handed backhand dying out in tennis.
Notable players that still play it include Stefanos Tsitsipsas, Dominic Thiem and Denis Shapovalov with all taking inspiration from Roger Federer. Check it out below.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
