Roger Federer could beat Chuck Norris in tennis

The US Open sort of got lost among the stories from college football Saturday, NFL Sunday, and MLB pennant races this past weekend. But tennis fans who actually watched yesterday's action were treated to this beauty from Roger Federer.

What strikes me about this shot -- aside from the ridiculous scale of difficulty -- was how hard he hit that ball. We have all seen between-the-legs shots before, but players typically use them out of necessity...there is no other angle to swing from, so they go between the legs just to get the ball over the net.

But Federer? He used it to blow a winner past Djokovic! I think the ball actually had topspin. Amazing.
