I would say the titles he has won speak for themselves and there is no reason not to root for him at any tennis match. He was proclaimed the greatest player of all time by Tennis Magazine on September 2009. Aside from his tennis life, he supports a number of charities, establishing the Roger Federer Foundation in 2003 to help disadvantaged people and to promote sports. In 2005, he auctioned his racquet from his US Open Championship to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He was appointed a Goodwill ambassador by UNICEF in 2006. He has also appeared in UNICEF public messages to raise public awareness of AIDS.

In 2004, Roger Federer met a worthy opponent, Rafael Nadal. The rivalry between the two of them played a significant part of both men’s careers. They held the top two rankings on the ATP Tour from July 2005 until 14 September 2009, when Nadal fell to World No . They are the only pair of men to have ever finished consecutive calendar years at the top. Another great opponent of Federer was Novac Djokovic. The two have met 24 times. Djokovic is the only player besides Nadal to have defeated Federer more than once in a Grand Slam tournament since 2004 and the only player besides Nadal who has a double figure career wins over Federer.

Federer is an all court, all round player known for his speed, fluid style of play and exceptional  shot making. He plays mainly from the baseline but is also comfortable at the net, being one of the best volleyers in the game today. He has a powerful accurate smash and very effectively performs rare elements in today’s tennis, such as backhand smash, half volley and jump smash.

Disappointed with the attitude of the player, whose “hot head” moments were becoming more and more regular, his parents decided to punish him in a curious way: they just decided to stop talking to him until he would change his attitude. This only made Roger Federer angrier, so the rage moments amplified. However, Roger Federer was always mad at himself, and not at his opponents or at the judges. The person who managed to change Roger Federer from this point of view is Australian Peter Carter. He managed to change the behavior of the young Roger Federer and to help him choose the right path towards the greatest performance. As Roger Federer later confessed, he only truly understood Peter Carter’s messages after he was gone.

While having Peter Carter as a coach, Roger Federer radically changed as a man, but also as a tennis player. Besides the anger slaps disappearing, Roger Federer also managed to understand, assimilate and acquire the most important mental factor of all: accepting defeat. After the epic Wimbledon defeat in 2008, when Roger Federer lost the final to Rafael Nadal, he seemed and actually was devastated. One year later, a BBC reporter asked Roger Federer how long did it take for him to move past that defeat. His answer was truly surprising: “about 2 hours”. He admitted that the awards ceremony was a very tough moment for him, as well as the way back home to London. And then, just like that, Roger Federer moved on and left that game in the past.

Prior to 2012, Roger Federer had won the Indian Wells title for 3 consecutive times, in 2004, 2005, and 2006. The 2012 Indian Wells final went on for 1’21”.

In the semifinal, Roger Federer won to famous Rafael Nadal, the former therefore equaling the latter’s record of 19 Masters 1000-titles. Roger Federer currently lies 4 victories behind John McEnroe. After winning at Indian Wells, Roger Federer raised his arms skywards, as the capacity crowd was cheering and frenetically applauding at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Roger Federer later stated that it was a very tough tournament, but that he is surely happy to have won it.

He also said that during the final, he was only thinking about victory, so he was very motivated. As he has not lifted the Indian Well trophy in a while, Roger Federer stated that he got a great feeling when proving to himself that he can still very well play on this kind of surface. Roger Federer added that he is very proud with his achievement, for which he earned 1000 points in the ATP chart and $1 million.
