    Good job on missing Tiger Woods in the mention Hypebeast. I guess he isn’t THAT prolific.

    KB24 you say tennis is lame because you are terrible at it and you are so ill informed about the sport today to claim that Fed has no personality and character, because he is the consummate gentleman on the court and he doesn’t freak out like MAC? You’re stupid, stop talking.

    Tennis is one of the purest individual sports in the world. It requires not only supreme physical condition, but demands incredible mental strength, focus and commitment to get anywhere near the top of the game.

    To win 15 grand slams is insane. To win them in such a relatively short period, even more so. With the last two coming after a dip in physical and mental form, it makes this record all the more deserving.

    Having been on practice courts and match courts with Roger, it’s clear there couldn’t be a more deserving champion.

    Who cares. Tennis is lame. Mac was the man. He brought personality to the sport.
    Which is missing now. Why isn’t Nike pushing Federer? Cause he’s boring. That’s why.
