Why Roger Federer Is Such A Good Tennis Player

By Davis Pete


There are many tennis players that I like to watch and learn from. I am always so amazed by the way they play and how they hit the ball so cleanly and smoothly on the court. However, there is a lot of hard work and sacrifice these players put in for training and during matches in order to succeed. There are no shortcuts and these players put in countless hours of practice to improve themselves both physically and mentally. These players have been an inspiration to me and I have always been motivated by them. Although I like many players, the player I like the most is Roger Federer, the number 1 in the world. Roger Federer (born August 8, 1981) is a Swiss professional tennis player who, in 2004, became the world's top tennis player.

My favorite tennis player would be Roger Federer because he has always been my greatest inspiration from young. From a young age, I have always been fascinated by his game style and how smart he is on court. I always loved how he would often mix up the pace and rhythm in rallies and use various shots to destabilize the opponent; forcing the opponent to make mistakes. Moreover, I admire his ability to stay cool and calm during the match and showing little emotion whatsoever if he wins or loses the point. Roger Federer uses his brains a lot to play and succeed in tournaments. No doubt the Swiss Maestro has a good serve and decent strokes however, whenever he steps on court, he plays with his head and uses his all-rounded game to his advantage. He serves and volleys, chips and charges, everything; this is what confuses his opponents. This is why many recon Federer as the genius in tennis. I also feel that whenever Federer steps on court, there is always this aura about him and that he is just so neat and majestic. Whenever I watch him play, I feel like he plays so gracefully and effortlessly that it is just so amazing and entertaining to watch the Swiss play.

I also admire Roger Federer's determination and competitive spirit. He says 'You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.' This shows that he is a determined person with that competitive drive that spurs him on to work harder and press on towards success. This is what brought him to win 17 Grand Slam titles breaking the previous all-time men's record of 14 by Pete Sampras. Federer's list of achievements is countless and the Swiss has managed to break many records in his years of playing in the professional circuit.

Despite all these remarkable achievements, Roger Federer is still humble and displays great sportsmanship on court. A player should have good character and attitude Roger Federer has great attitude and character and I am truly inspired by the Swiss' sportsmanship and attitude on and off court. He is still hungry for success and is willing to work even harder to scale greater heights.

In summary, Roger Federer has truly been an idol to me and he is indeed a remarkable person that has achieved so much with hard work. I have been motivated by him to work even harder and to play even smarter. I have indeed learnt a lot from his game. Alle Federer!
