Roger Federer idézet

Roger Federer svájci hivatásos teniszező. Eddig összesen 310 héten keresztül vezette az ATP világranglistáját – közben 237 hétig folyamatosan –, mindkét eredménnyel új rekordot állítva a férfi tenisz történetében.Eredményei alapján a tenisztörténelem legsikeresebb versenyzője; a legtöbb szakértő, volt és jelenlegi teniszező minden idők legjobb teniszezőjének tartja.Pályafutása során már több mint 1000 meccset nyert, eddig összesen 100 címet szerzett, ebből 20-at Grand Slam-tornán, 27-et ATP Masters Series-versenyen, 6-ot az évzáró ATP-világbajnokságon . Megnyerte mind a négy Grand Slam-tornát, s ezzel teljesítette a karrier-Grand Slamet.20 Grand Slam-győzelemmel – Rafael Nadalt megelőzve – Federer nyerte a legtöbb Grand Slam-tornát a férfiak között.Wimbledonban nyolcszor , az Ausztrál Openen hatszor nyert , a US Openen pedig sorozatban öt címet szerzett . A Roland Garroson – miután 2006-ban, 2007-ben és 2008-ban, majd 2011-ben is döntőt játszott – 2009-ben tudott nyerni. Eddig összesen rekord 30 Grand Slam-döntőbe jutott be.Federer az első teniszező, aki két különböző Grand Slam-tornát is meg tudott nyerni ötször egymás után. Ötös sorozatai önmagukban is open-éra rekordok: a US Open-rekordot Federer egyedül, a wimbledonit Björn Borggal együtt tartja. Ő az első férfi teniszező, aki négy egymást követő évben megnyerte mind Wimbledont, mind a US Opent Federer az első teniszező, aki tíz egymást követő Grand Slam-döntőbe , és 23 egymást követő Grand Slam-elődöntőbe jutott be , utóbbi egyik legnagyobb rekordjának számít. Ő az első teniszező, aki három évben, köztük két egymást követő évben is mind a négy Grand Slam-tornán döntőt játszott , és aki a négy Grand Slam-torna mindegyikén legalább ötször döntőt játszott – Wimbledonban 11-et.237 héttel ő töltötte a leghosszabb időt egyhuzamban a világranglista élén: 2007. február 26-án megdöntötte Jimmy Connors 160 hetes férfi, majd 2007. augusztus 27-én Steffi Graf 186 hetes történelmi rekordját is. A férfiak között a legtöbb héttel ő vezeti az örökranglistát.

A 2008-as pekingi olimpián Stanislas Wawrinkával párosban olimpiai aranyérmet szerzett, a 2012-es londoni olimpián pedig egyéniben lett ezüstérmes.

Federer kivételes karrierjének és karizmatikus személyiségének köszönhetően világszerte a tenisz és a sport képviselője, de hatása túl is mutat ezen: karitatív tevékenységéért 2006-ban a UNICEF nagykövetévé nevezték ki.2007-ben a Time magazin a „Time 100”, a világ száz legnagyobb hatású embere közé sorolta.
