Roger Federer
Roger Federer is a very well known tennis player. He was born on August 8, 1981. He started playing tennis when he was in the 12th grade. He started as a junior player and was numberone in 1998. The way he was playing tennis people knew that he would be one of the best players in the U.S.A. even though he was representing Switzerland, his hometown. In 2003, Federer won his firstGrand Slam singles title at Wimbledon. He has also won the other three Grand Slams, Roland Garros, the Australian Open, and the US Open. He holds many records a mounds them he has 16 records and 5consecutive US Open titles. He appeared in two consecutive Australian Open finals, four consecutive French Open finals, seven consecutive Wimbledon finals, six consecutive US Open finals, except forFrench Open, Federer never lost two consecutive finals at the same Grand Slam.
There are three different types of courts in Tennis, grass, clay and hard courts, and normally players are specialist inonly one court (the one they play in the most usually). In Federer´s case, he is dominant in all three, which is probably one of the reasons why many consider him one of the best players. This also makesit harder for other players to beat him in their best court. I think this gave him great confidence while playing.
He has a very fluid style of play, he mainly plays from the base line but he alsohas no problems when approaching the net. His first serve percentage is very good and he normally doesn´t need to use a second serve. Roger´s best shot is without doubt his forehand that is botheffective and strong, he has a very fast footwork that allows him to respond to shots intended for his backhand to be answer with a powerful inside-in or inside-out forehand; in other words his speed in thecourt allows him to get comfortable before returning a shot. Federer has also a very strong backhand and unlike many players, it is one handed. This makes him look stronger than most of the other...
