Is Roger Federer the GOAT of tennis?
Roger Federer is without a doubt the best tennis player of all time and one of the most successful sportsmen in history, regardless of the sport. After Rafael Nadal’s 22 and Novak Djokovic’s 21 Grand Slam singles championships, Roger Federer has won 20 of them, which places him third all-time among men. He participated in a run of 18 of 19 major final appearances between 2005 and 2007, including 10 consecutive ones. Federer holds the record at Wimbledon with eight men’s singles titles. He also won a Davis Cup and medals at the Olympics in singles and doubles. He holds the record for the second most ATP singles championships with 103, while also being second with 1,251 match victories in history.
Roger Federer was a ball boy before he rose to become one of the top athletes in the world. He helped Swiss Indoors Basel athletes in his hometown from till 1994. Federer himself, as well as the athletes he was supporting, had no idea what was about to happen. Federer began to show potential on the court at an early age, and he swiftly rose to become one of the top junior players in the world. After turning 16 years old in 1997, he defeated Manuel Jorquera in a match in Bossonnens, Switzerland, earning his maiden ATP Rankings point. 25 years later, at the 2022 Laver Cup alongside his longtime rival Rafael Nadal, Federer’s legendary career came to an end.

In the 1990s, the NBA enjoyed considerable popularity, which young Roger Federer was well aware of. Both Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal were well-known figures throughout the world. The 20-time Grand Slam champion, who has long been a huge NBA fan, was shown in a photo that later surfaced on social media with posters of those NBA legends on his wall. The Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson may also be seen flaunting her red outfit in one of the posters. Dennis Rodman, the former teammate of Michael Jordan, has reportedly dated Anderson too. It’s incredible to see that Federer had posters of these global stars, among whom he later became.
Roger Federer landed in London for what turned out to be an emotional and spectacular week after announcing on social media that he will play his final ATP match at the Laver Cup. The 41-year-old was only allowed to play doubles, and it was only natural that Federer played his final competitive match with Nadal by his side following a historic practice session with all four Big Four players—Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, and others. It served just as an occasion for him to bid his coworkers and supporters farewell. The Swiss has made it obvious that he will never completely leave tennis behind, but he was excited to give it one final go.
