FEDERER is almost universally recognised as the greatest tennis player
of all time; he might also be the greatest athlete. Adored around the
world, Federer has become one of sport's most iconic and popular
figures. In this innovative graphic biography, Federer's genius is
explored and celebrated like never before, with beautiful infographics
looking at his serving patterns, the speed of his shots, the spin he
generates, his movement, as well as his performance in high-pressure
situations such as tiebreaks and Grand Slam finals. Federer's
astonishing records - no man has won more majors, or spent more weeks
as the world number one - are also showcased against his rivals and
the legends of the game. Drawing on his conversations with Federer, as
well as exclusive interviews with those close to the Swiss, Mark
Hodgkinson tells the story of how a young hothead from Basel
transformed himself into a calm and poised athlete who came to
dominate tennis. And who, while deep in his thirties, has continued to
seek improvements, to challenge men many years younger than him and to
contend for the sport's biggest prizes. The infographics, stunning
photography and insight and analysis - from Federer's rivals, idols,
coaches and members of his inner circle - will give you a new
appreciation of his greatness and how his tennis has moved so many
people.
