Ted Green of LA TIMES SPORTS Summarizes Federer’s accomplishments and character thusly :
“... it’s interesting to note that Federer’s evenness, his calm, reserved Scandinavian temperament, is the same quality that makes him somehow boring for those fans who prefer their sports heroes wear their hearts on their sleeves.
But it is that same quality that will allow Federer, a month from his 28th birthday, which is certainly old in tennis, to continue competing at a high level for several more years. By contrast, Borg burned out from the pressure to win majors at just 26 and McEnroe, far too intense, was effectively spent around the same age.”
I like his style. Old school one handed backhand.
