Roger Federer

Roger Federer the greatest tennis player of all time.  He has surpassed Pete Sampras for the most grand slam titles in tennis history at 17 championships.  Federer has been the number one ranking in the tennis world for 302 straight weeks which is by far a prestigious accomplishment.  Federer is now number two in the world at the age of 31 and seeks for more championships.  There has been speculation of retirement, however Federer reassures his fans that he has some years left in him. 

He has won Wimbledon seven times, the Australian open 4 times, the French open one time, the US open 5 times, the silver Olympic medal London, the gold Olympic medal in doubles in 2008 in Beijing.  Roger has made an eye opening 76,541,422$ in prize money which holds him number one in prize money of all time.  With his career winding down it will be next to impossible for Federer to reach 1 billion dollars.  Roger Federer is really my idol, he creates a sense of brilliance on the court and off the court with his composure and security of himself.   He has the smoothest most illustrated, beautiful forehand and backhand strokes, with a fluent serve motion, where his serves sometimes reach as fast as 130 mph.  He knows how to speak multiple languages such as English, French, and Spanish.  He is a huge influence to the game of tennis world wide where if someone will speak the word of tennis one of the first things that will pop into your head is Roger Federer.  He is the most artistic man to influence the game and that if he never picked up a tennis racket, tennis would not have been as successful as it is today.
