Other players have been faster, more 'stretchy', come in with loads of stamina, had more top spin, more muscular, hit the ball harder, than this man, but no one has still played tennis quite like him. Tennis is beautiful because of Roger and for me that is the greatest contribution an athlete can make to his sport. He made generations of kids like me expect magic every time he steps on the court. Just like MJ, Tiger Woods, Leo Messi, Maradona, Zidane. Thank you Roger. Always the best for me.

Without doubt, Federer is the most talented, beautiful, vesatile player ever to play tennis. Variety of shots he has, is far more than combined of Nadal or Novak. His volley , stop volley, backend, forehand and dropshots are very pleasing to watch. To play for 20 over yrs with very high consistency is simply amazing. And above all, he is very humble, down to earth always easy going with his fans and media. We hardly read or hear ppl say bad things abt him. It is astonoshing to know that he has never retired half way in 1250 matches he has played. This shows how much he loves Tennis.. No other player has this effect on public past 50 yrs plus. No wonder he gets so much love, respect and attention from Reporters, players and public.. Even if Novak wins 25 Slams, he can never match talent, skill, charishma, elegance and popularity of Federer. Last but not the least, behavior on the court where RF gets 9.9 out of 10 and Novak may be 5....Novaks behaviour in tokyo olympics 2 wks ago is totally disgrace and unacceptable.. 👌🏻

The best ever to do it on a court, happy 40th birthday RF. Legend....

The looks of astonishment and disbelief on some of the star opponents faces (Murray, Agassi, Blake, Djokovic and many more) tells you all you need to know. This unique brilliance is what made Federer a 'must watch' in the tennis community. He had this amazing ability to make other players look ordinary, yet such a humble guy and great role model for kids.

Nobody has ever or will ever make tennis look as beautiful as Roger did! He could play five sets without breaking a sweat.

No words can describe Federer’s game. It’s beyond us humans.

Hey, where's the two-handed backhand down-the-line winner! More seriously, *tennis incarnated itself in Federer* - the greatest and most complete all-court player to have played the game. His records aside (some of which have been broken, some of which will be broken, and some of which may never be broken), this much is true: *his game will forever remain the gold standard for tennis aesthetics and beauty* . (As for those who like to say stuff like "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or "I like Rafa's forehand and attitude better" or "the Djoker's backhand down the line and mental strength are much better than 'weakerer's'", it's worth noting that *both Nadal and Djokovic, not to mention numerous others, have called Federer tennis's **_artist_* ... and one suspects they know what they're talking about.)

I'm sorry that you know NOTHING about chess. I played tournament chess for 40 years (I was a USCF Master for a short time) and although I played college tennis I was much more talented in chess. Woody Harrelson is supposed to be the best chessplayer in films (Humphrey Bogart once drew Sammy Reshevsky in a simul and was probably never quite as good as I was at my peak. - a completely different skill set is required to master either sport' The Only comparison that can be made is in strategy which I inherited from my dad who was checker champion of the US Navy, but refused to learn chess. My dad was better at math than my sister who has a PHD in math and teaches math teachers how to teach math. I am clueless in math. I'm sorry that my first sentence is rather harsh, but I teach chess still. but my body is too crippled to still play or teach tennis and I'm frustrated with that. I can only enjoy watching tennis now that I'm 76 years old, hearing impaired with knees that no longer function and a brain that still does.
