Roger Federer lit up Arthur Ashe Stadium with an around-the-net-post winner against Nick Kyrgios on Saturday, sending the crowd into a frenzy and leaving his opponent stranded with a look of sheer disbelief. A 20-year veteran on the ATP Tour, the Swiss has seen and done it all. But even he was impressed with his work on this occassion. The net is out further and the court is more narrow, so for a shot like this to happen in a practice, you will be running into a fence and you will hit it into the net. I have hit a few throughout my career, and, sure, they are always fun, just because sometimes you can sort of aim for them, because you realize you have an option more, which you just never have. I definitely think it was a special one, no doubt about it. Here's a breakdown of our Top 5.
