Roger Federer isn't the only one who can hit a back-to-the-net, between-the-legs shot.
Francesca Schiavone turned the trick at the U.S. Open, too.
During a 6-1, 7-5 victory over 29th-seeded Alona Bondarenko in the third round at Flushing Meadows on Friday, French Open champion Schiavone produced a near-replica of the shot Federer hit against Novak Djokovic in the 2009 semifinals and again against Brian Dabul in this year's first round Monday.
Schiavone called it "instinct" and "art."
