Who is Roger Federer

The Roger Federer Story: Quest for Perfection

by: Rene Stauffer

I am an avid tennis fan, and have read many books about the game,and its players. The new Roger Federer book by Rene Stauffer, is one of the best I've seen in recent years. Most tennis books are either dull or overblown with the importance of their subject. Stauffer's book, however is a fascinating account of the young Federer's emergence from a tennis brat to a mature and gracious champion.
The book is extremely well-written, and is in fact a literate account of Federer's growth as a player and a person.
Parents of young tennis players will learn much about the development of a young player.
It would be interesting if Stauffer wrote another book about Federer, after he has finished his career,as arguably tennis' best player ever. - T.Meyer Prescott

Wimbledon Classic Match: Federer vs Sampras

One dominant era ends as another one begins
It is the classic tale of the changing of the guard as the seasoned veteran is taken down by the upstart heir apparent to the throne. Sampras owned Wimbledon since '93 and his only loss was to Krajicek in '96, but Federer at the 2001 Wimbledon showed the great potential that he has, but still wouldn't be fully realized until a year later when he won the 2002 Tennis Masters Championship and the rest is history. He has dominated tennis since like no player before him, including Sampras. Nadal has been the only player able to show that Federer is beatable, even if it's only on clay. Sampras was on his way out and would retire the next year at the U.S. Open and Federer was just getting going. Both were at the top of their games on that day during the 4th round of Wimbledon. It was a great match with the classic Sampras serve and volley with Federer showing great poise under pressure which has become his trademark. When you watch Federer or Sampras, you can't tell if they are down or up in the match, they just play with the killer blank face. Sampras has a record 14 Grand Slams with seven of those at Wimbledon and was ranked #1 6 straight years. Federer has 9 slams at 25, 4 straight Wimbledon titles and is the first man in the Open era to win at least 10 titles three straight years in a row. Get the DVD to see history as they will both go down at #1 and #2 in the history of men's tennis. Which order they go is up to you, but there is no debating they are the two greatest ever. Sorry Laver. Sorry Borg. If Agassi didn't lose so many finals to Sampras, he would have went down as #2 behind Federer. -- V. Pinette "Vinny P" (Nashua, NH)
