Video: Roger Federer pulled off another unbelievable between the legs shot in Dubai today

He’s still got it.

He’s still got it.

Roger Federer might not be the all-conquering force of old and there is a chance that he won’t add another major to the 17 Grand Slam titles he’s won already but the man still remains a class act.

He reminded everyone just why with a trademark between the legs shot in his victory over Benjamin Becker at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships today, rescuing what looked like a lost cause with a brilliantly executed shot through his legs that went over the head of Becker and just about landed in on Becker’s side of the court.

Becker did manage to return the shot but Federer had the easiest of tasks to tap it over the net and secure the point before soaking up the well-deserved acclaim of the watching audience.

Was it better than the famous one he hit against Novak Djokovic in the US Open semi-final a few years back?

We’ll let you decide.
