Roger Federer turns 34 next month, but he hasn't stopped dazzling on the court. 

Federer, who is looking to win his eighth career Wimbledon title, earned a straight sets victory over American Sam Querrey on Thursday, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. A remarkable between-the-legs shot in the first set served as another reminder—not that we needed one—of Federer's brilliance, particularly at the All England Club. 

The shot came after a Querrey serve. The American volleyed the ball deep to Federer's forehand side, but Federer effortlessly returned the ball through his legs, lobbing it deep. Querrey's return attempt hit the net.
