Roger Federer had been the face of Tennis for a long time after the downfall of the American legend Pete Sampras. He played against Sampras only once in their career and won that epic at Wimbledon Fourth Round 2021. The 5-set thriller lasted three hours and 41 minutes. The final score was 7-6 (9-7) 5-7 6-4 6-7 (2-7) 7-5 and it is considered one of the best matches ever played in Wimbledon.

This match later came to be known as the “passing of the torch” since Roger Federer went on to surpass Pete Sampras’ record of most Grand Slams won. He was leading the race until Rafael Nadal took over the record by winning the 2022 Australian Open.

Roger Federer had to deal with another legend Andre Agassi in the earlier part of his career. He leads 8-3 in their head-to-head. He went on to win the last 8 matches played against Agassi after losing three times consecutively to him in the first 3 matches.

Later, his major opponents before the arrival of fellow big 3 were Lleyton Hewit, Marat Safin, and Andy Roddick. He has a positive head 2 head against all of these players.
