Stop a man in the street and ask him which tennis player he’d most like to resemble, and 999 times out of 1,000, that man will say Roger Federer.
What is it that Federer does that Joe Bloggs would dearly love to do? Is it his forehand, with the hop, skip and jump into it from inside the baseline? Or his backhand, knee bend and lift from the middle of his stomach? The serve, Sampras-esque but far more languid? Or simply his style, the Nike threads, the easy arrogance, Mr Charming in a walnut shell?
Yet Federer’s greatest virtue is arguably his most underrated. His consistency.
