Federer Reclaims Tweener Glory

Earlier this week, at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia Open, Rafael Nadal hit one of the prettiest tweeners I've ever seen, dethroning the King of All Tweeners Roger Federer (much like he dethroned him from his number 1 spot.)  But Fed didn't get mad, he got even, and hit something I've never seen before, a tweener while facing forward.  Roger eventually went on to lose the match to Richard Gasquet, but at least with that shot, he can reclaim his Tweener glory.
