    Default Roger Federer

    What a player, what a legend. Out with injury for 6 months, 35 years old and playing two consecutive brutal five setters to win. The best tennis player I have ever seen.

    Just look at these stats, possibly the greatest sportsman of his generation, in any sport.

    just look at some of these facts .... sorry about the capital letters, but I've copied and pasted them

    - FEDERER IS ONLY THE FIRST MAN IN THE LAST 45 YEARS TO APPEAR IN FOUR GRAND SLAM FINALS IN THE SAME YEAR

    - FEDERER HAS WON 90 MORE GRAND SLAM MATCHES (285) THAN THE NEXT ACTIVE PLAYER, RAFAEL NADAL (195). HE’S ALSO HAS 52 MORE WINS THAN THE NO. 2 PLAYER ON THE ALL-TIME LIST, JIMMY CONNORS.

    - FEDERER HAS WON 25% OF THE TOURNAMENTS HE’S ENTERED DURING HIS CAREER.


    - HE’S THE ALL-TIME TITLE LEADER AT TWO DIFFERENT SLAMS (WIMBLEDON, TIED WITH PETE SAMPRAS, AND THE U.S. OPEN, TIED WITH JIMMY CONNORS AND SAMPRAS).

    - JUST THREE TIMES IN HISTORY HAS A MAN WON 40 OR MORE CONSECUTIVE MATCHES AT A SINGLE GRAND SLAM TOURNAMENT. FEDERER HAS DONE IT TWO OF THOSE TIMES AND AT DIFFERENT TOURNAMENTS, NO LESS

    - FED IS NO. 1 IN MOST CONSECUTIVE GRAND SLAM FINALS PLAYED WITH 10. HE’S ALSO IN SECOND, WITH EIGHT.

    - THE FED HOLDS THE RECORD FOR MOST CONSECUTIVE SEMIFINALS AT A GRAND SLAM (23) AND MOST CONSECUTIVE QUARTERFINALS AT A GRAND SLAM (36).

    - FEDERER ONCE HAD A STREAK OF 105 POINTS WITHOUT AN UNFORCED ERROR.

    - WITH HIS WIN IN BRISBANE THIS JANUARY, FEDERER BROKE A TIE WITH IVAN LENDL TO WIN A TOURNEY IN HIS 15TH STRAIGHT YEAR (2001-2015).

    - HE’S NO. 1 AND NO. 2 ON THE LIST OF CONSECUTIVE HARD COURT WINS WITH 56 STRAIGHT IN 2005-06 AND 36 STRAIGHT IN 2006-2007. HE’S ALSO NO. 1 ON GRASS, WITH HIS 65 STRAIGHT WINS BEING 50% HIGHER THE NO. 2 BJORN BORG (42)

    - IN 2005 AND 2006, FEDERER WAS A COMBINED 53-2 IN GRAND SLAMS.

    - FEDERER’S RANKING RECORDS: MOST WEEKS AT NO. 1 (302), MOST CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AT NO.1 (237), MOST WEEKS IN THE TOP TWO (455) AND MOST CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN THE TOP TWO (346).

    - FEDERER HAS WON THREE GRAND SLAMS IN A SINGLE YEAR THREE TIMES, THE REST OF THE ATP HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES, IN TOTAL.

    - FROM OCTOBER 2003 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2005, FEDERER WON 24 STRAIGHT FINALS, CRUSHING BJORN BORG’S PREVIOUS RECORD OF 15.

    - WITH HIS WIN IN BRISBANE THIS JANUARY, FEDERER BROKE A TIE WITH IVAN LENDL TO WIN A TOURNEY IN HIS 15TH STRAIGHT YEAR (2001-2015).

    - HE HAS 105 MORE VICTORIES AGAINST TOP 10 PLAYERS THAN Second placed CONNORS

    - THE FED IS THE ONLY MAN TO WIN BACK-TO-BACK SLAMS FIVE TIMES

    - FEDERER PUT UP A 166-8 MARK ON HARD COURTS FROM 2003-06.

    - OVERALL, ROGER FEDERER HAS WON 81% OF HIS MATCHES ON THE ATP, WITH A 1067-243 RECORD. HE’S THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

    Agreed, never looked at his stats as I'm not that big on tennis but this dude is sick, he makes it look effortless, he is fat with talent, seems like as decent human as well.

    Federer is now officially the greatest tennis player ever after winning the slam yesterday. Truly amazing.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
