Can Roger Federer play ping pong?

0:20Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

In a playful commentary, Montemagno assesses Roger Federer at the table: he likes the elegance and compactness of the forehand but criticises the elbow position, grip and posture on the backhand as too tennis-like. He ends by giving him eight out of ten as an amateur. This is his informal judgement on the rally described in the recording, not an independent technical assessment of Federer’s abilities.
