The Bryan brothers have produced some wonderful tennis throughout their career. In their doubles match against Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner, Bob bryan hit a brilliant cross-court tweener lob to win the point.
#2 Roger Federer vs Benjamin Becker
Roger Federer is the king of tweeners. The 17-time Grand Slam champion hits them so often and with sheer accuracy. In his match against Benjamin Becker, Federer seemed out of the point. But as well know, Federer pulls of the rabbit out of the hat yet again with this sensational tweener.
#1 Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic
By far the greatest tweener lobs in the history of tennis. Rafael Nadal does not hit tweeners that often, mainly because he always reaches the ball to hit it in front of his body. But on this occasion, Novak Djokovic looked to have won a classic point between the two. But somehow, Nadal managed to defy logic as he chased an impossible ball and hit a wonderful tweener lob.
