I am writing this blog to make everyone know how great this player is off court and On court.A goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, Federer ruled 4 years maintaining a position which is really really hard for anyone to emulate.Roger was born on August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland to a Swiss father and and South African mother.Roger Federer usually behaves perfectly. He speaks as gracefully as he plays. He can conduct post-match press conferences in four languages. These things seem to come as naturally to Federer .If you take Roger to be a player or a human being, he made sure he touched hearts.After the disaster of Tsunami which destroyed many families of Southern India, Roger took out time from his busy schedule of Grand Slams to pay a visit to India in Cash and Kind.Federer nicked "The Natural" as the players in dressing room call him has won 55 singles titles,8 Doubles titles and one of them coming through Olympic gold in Beijing. He has lost his numero uno ranking to Rafael Nadal in the month of August much to be obliged by the great person after the Historic epic final of Wimbeldon. Wimbeldon once again proving that no one can own it,after it proved Bjorn Borg last time. Roger marked his entry with dethrowning Pete Sampras from Wimbledon in 2003,which Pete had it for a long time. I m a huge fan of Federer as a person and the way he carries himself.The defeat in Wimbledon after rulling it for 5 years is tougher than loosing it the first time, as it did end Mr Borg's career.Borg lost in the final of Wimbledon1980 which made him go into a shell and then seen only after several years.Borg was disheartened to see Federer go through the same pain. Many critics painted same road for Mr Federer too,but his answer was " I'll be back next year to take what is mine". Roger's glory has footprints on every grandslams,except the Roland Garros,which people say is not for him.Roger federer has won 5 consecutive Wimbledon,5 Consecutive US Open,3 time Australian Champion,3time consecutive Finalist at French Open only loosing to a Phenom on Clay,Rafael Nadal.He is defending his US open title this time as a number 2 seed and also as a Sentimental hero.All his fans hope the best for him as he is two grandslams away from a record number of grandslams which is kept by Sampras,another legend of the tennis era.But without doubts , Roger federer is the best tennis player in the Open Tennis Era and some say "He is the best of all time". Hmmm!! Actually I agree!!.
