Watch: Federer hits blind backhand flick winner

Roger Federer earned the first break of the Wimbledon final in the fifth game of the first set, and he set it up with this bit of casual genius.

With Marin Cilic serving at 2-all, 0-15, he and Federer played a cat-and-mouse, drop-and-redrop point, with Cilic sending his masterfully angled reply skidding out past the doubles alley.

That should've been the end of that, but Federer managed to track it down, flick out his racket, catch the ball about an inch above the grass, and send it back blindly, just a hair over the net, for a down-the-line winner.
