Roger Federer hits another between the legs shot

Tuesday 31st August 2010, 9:06AM BST.

Roger Federer lit up the opening day of the US Open with another moment of sheer genius during his first-round victory at Flushing Meadows.

Federer had won the first set against Argentina’s Brian Dabul and was 5-3 up in the second when he conjured up a winner from between his legs with his back to the court.

Dabul looked to have played the perfect lob which landed just inside the baseline, but Federer came up with a mirror image of his famous winner in his semi-final against Novak Djokovic last year.
