trademark 商标
He has an excellent slice but can also fire great
top-spin shots.
Federer tends to hit his groundstrokes early,
while the ball is still on the rise, much like Andre
Agassi did.
While this requires excellent reactions and footwork,
it means that Federer hits his groundstrokes closer
to the net
than most of his opponents.
This reduces the reaction time of his opponents
and allows him to hit the sharply angled winners
that are a trademark of his game.
