I admire many tennis professional players and am always inspired by their games. These professional players work very hard on and off court and their mentally and physically strong. I would always dream I can eventually be one of them; top 10 in the world with a grand slam title to my name. But this does not come easily. It takes hard work and countless hours of practice and on court it takes loads of sweat and determination to truly succeed. Although I like many players, my favorite player would be the number 1 in the world, Roger Federer. Roger Federer (born August 8, 1981) is a Swiss professional tennis player who, in 2004, became the world's top tennis player.
I like Roger Federer because I have always looked up to him since young and I have always dreamt of being able to play like him and have so many great achievements. He is indeed a legend. Roger uses his brain to play and is very clever and smart on court. He is able to change his game during the match to suit different situations and is always finding ways to outsmart his opponent on court and force them to make errors. I can always learn so much from Roger's game and how he plays on court is always so fascinating. Watching his matches never fail to amaze me at how well he makes use of the court to force errors off the opponents racket and how he plays so smart and effortlessly to win points. Federer uses his accurate serve to his advantage by using his serve to set up an opportunity for him to finish off the point. Moreover, his game is also unpredictable as he is an all-rounded player and can place the ball so well with such accuracy to create points for himself. The Swiss Maestro is also very good at changing the pace and rhythm of the ball to upset the tempo of the opponent, forcing errors from the opponent. He is also good at controlling his feelings and emotions and does not show it on court. Whenever he steps on court, he always plays so effortlessly and gracefully that it always amazes me.
I like Roger because he is a determined person and will work hard for success. 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 competitive and is hungry for success. This led 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.
With all these achievements, one would expect Roger to be cocky and arrogant. However, I personally feel that Federer is a humble guy and displays great sportsmanship on court. I feel that what is most important about a player should be his character and attitude. What is the use of having a player with amazing strokes and many achievements when his attitude is poor? Hence, I am also greatly inspired by the Swiss' character and attitude on and off court.
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!
