Federer - The tennis Musician

“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career, lost more than 300 games, 26 times I was trusted to take the game winning shot and failed. I have failed over and over again and that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan

Success - in any game - doesn't come easy. People learn by their as well as other mistakes. As they said "You will not live long enough to do all the mistakes. You have to learn from other's. "

And most importantly players has the desire, passion and dream to chase which makes them different from the breed. Federer said once when asked why did he came to plan such a lot price money tournament - "Its not about the money. We are chasing our dreams" !!

Federer is by far the most perfect player in the tennis history. The only player who haven't lost his first rank since he achieved that, won 3 grand slam in a year three times and many other records. Federer continues to rewrite the history books and probably by the time he hangs up his racket, history book will be converted in an epic.

But this success doesn't come to Federer easily. During his starting days, he as among the angry man in the court - Now in most of matches you will not find a single sign of emotion on his face, had more unforced errors than winners - Now you may find the record books with no unforced error in the complete set, over ambitious, slow moving guy - Now converted in perfect selection, fastest in the court.

He is a tennis musician. May be when he calls it a day, we need to clear the history book so that its reachable to others.

"you're either a clay court specialist, a grass court specialist or a hard court specialist ... or you're Roger Federer."

"Roger can produce tennis shots that should be declared illegal."
