I remember the first time I saw Federer. Wimbledon fourth round in 2001. I was a huge Sampras fan and this kid just comes out and hits impossibly gorgeous shot after gorgeous shot and takes down Sampras when I didn't think anyone could beat Sampras at WImbledon. I actually called my Dad and told him to watch the highlights. I think I said, "I think I just saw the new best tennis player in the world. This kid is unbelievable." He was even better than I thought.

lol it’s funny, I remember l- I didn’t watch the match but as teenagers my brother and I sort of kept up with Tennis, and my Brother’s comment on the phone was: “Some dude named Federer just beat Pete Sampras at Wimbledon.” The funny thing is. We both thought, well that was a weird fluke, who know Tennis has just changed and it almost entirely shifts in a couple of short years.

Being a South African I was a Federer fan from age 18. He lost his first 7 matches against leyton Hewitt and it drove me crazy. Then never lost to him again. Its difficult to believe that Hewitt, now retired is only 6 months older than Rog. You can appreciate Nadal and Djokovic all you like-and they are great, but there is that little something extra only Rog has.

A couple of observations. 1) How strange to see Federer playing in front of empty stands, and on outer courts in some cases. 2) He's got some of the best hands in the history of the game, along w/ McEnroe. A lot of these great shots, even the "lucky" stabs, work because he has the hands to control the racquet face at the moment of impact. Practice hones that, but there's a level of natural athletic ability which most of us just don't possess, even other top players.

Let's talk about why Djokovic and Nadal are so good, as well as so much of the field over the last 20 years. It's because of this man right here, Federer. He raised the bar so much higher than it had ever been. Not just compared to the others playing at the time, but objectively a higher level of tennis than had ever been seen. It forced the likes of Djokovic and Nadal to be so good in order to not only compete, but surpass. Federer forever changed the game.

Of all the tennis players I've seen over the last 40 years I have to say Roger is the best. He's the whole package...power, speed, mental toughness, consistency, etc. He's hit shots I've never seen anyone else hit before. Nadal, Djokovic, Borg, Laver...all incredible players and definitely some of the greats, but none of them are the whole package like Federer. What he has accomplished along with Nadal and Djokovic is really incredible, they've dominated the game and will probably continue into 2021.

He almost managed that amazing feat of reaching no.1 without winning a single GS... I think he also has a silver medal at the Olympics... And that's a big deal (contrary to what Djoko fans will tell you)... But unfortunately he goes down in the books next to Marat Safin, or more recently Delpo... The "what if" category... But in all honesty, Tommy's matches in GS's when he passed 30 years were jaw dropping... I remember the 2013 RG, after the Isner match, and the Youzhny demolition ,I honestly thought he had it in him to beat Nole... Fun times...

When I see his old stuff I don’t see how good he was, I see how much he improved in his career. He clubbed the ball in comparison to later in his career, 2017 he became a true god of tennis, playing with beauty and a caliber that at times was completely unplayable by any man.

No the babolat logo on his strings were for his gut strings . Back when he was solely using gut he had the babolat logo. Now with his hybrid stringing it’s marketed under champion choice by lux/Wilson hence he has their logo now.
