Federer has to be the most graceful tennis players I have ever seen, one of the greatest of all time and time has finally caught up with him.
Federer is absolutely the best male player of all time. Nadal & Djokovic are brilliant, all time greats, but look how many of Nadal's titles are on clay; and look how little anybody gives a shit about Djokovic. Federer inspired both, along with Murray & Wawrinka. Who have Nadal & Djokovic inspired? A bunch of nobodies.It's not just about numbers. Federer was graceful, complete, beautiful. Floyd Mayweather may have superior figures, but he is not better than Muhammad Ali. Federer is Ali. What he has done for the sport is beyond mere stats.
Pictures of Federer and Nadal after their Laver cup doubles defeat were emotional.

Can't see anyone having a similar tale about Federer as he epitomises that very nice but slightly dull Swiss way.
I'm sure every sport has an off season, I doubt she was ever pissed during a game.
