This was mentioned late Monday night in our U.S. Open Day 1 StoryStream, but it's worth looking at again here. In his first round match against Brian Dabul last night, Roger Federer pulled off the between-the-legs winner ... the same shot he made during the 2009 U.S. Open against Novak Djokovic.

Of course, last year's came during a semifinal win, while this year's was during what was essentially a light, late-night practice session in the first round. Although there's still two weeks left for Federer to pull out more "tweeners."
