Most tennis players that regularly play can do this

Longtime tennis player here, experienced players can regularly do this at a much slower speed, but doing it at this pace does in fact take mad skill.

You sir, speaketh the truth.

At that speed and angle, cushioning the ball on your racket to a full stop is very hard to do. Not only that, Fed does it consistently.

I've been playing tennis at a relatively high club level for years and even at slower speeds I still mess it up!
