Roger Federer's Trick Shot Video

Andy Murray ain't impressed.

The hottest new video of Roger Federer on the Internet isn't of him vacationing with his wife or taking off his shirt.

Instead, Federer appears to be launching a serve while dressed in a suit coat nailing a bottle off the head of a stage hand during the filming of a television commercial.
The video is supposedly behind-the-scenes work from a recent Federer Gilette commercial, but it's debatable whether the outtake is real, staged or even using computerized special effects.
Effects have gotten so good these days, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not, as in Andy Murray's "Walking Around" video from earlier this year where he appears to paint a smiley face in paint on a wall, and pick off skeet in mid-flight with his serve.

Then there's the less-successful "special effect" spots, like this one

starring Novak Djokovic and the HEAD Youtek Speed Pro Tennis racquet. The special effects ain't great, and Novak's acting makes Joey Lawrence look like Laurence Olivier.

Are they real? Are they fake? Does it even matter? Let us know what you think about Roger's new video.
