Roger Federer
The undoubtedly Greatest Person of All Time Roger Federer is a sporting gift that never stops giving. Since taking the men's tennis lead over Pete Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001, Federer has been unbeaten at best. And as crazy 2017 shows, he still remains that way, despite turning 36.
Roger Federer won the biggest win in men's tennis history with 19 singles titles (8 Wimbledon, 5 US Open, 5 Australian Open and 1 French Open). They are followed by Rafael Nadal (15 wins) and Pete Sampras (14 wins). This gentle Swiss-born also holds the record for longest tenure as the world's number one male tennis player (302 weeks in a row).
Many critics have downplayed Federer's career after an injury in 2016. But throughout the 2017 season, Federer's precision and power have delighted sports fans around the world, impressing ATP teammates. He has rediscovered his best tennis, and now it seems as untouchable as it was 10 years ago.
