Roger Federer, tennis player (SUI)

Current world no.1, and one hell of a tennis player. He has since taken the game to a whole new level, moping the floor with other top-10 players such as Agassi, Hewitt and Roddick to name a few. Coached by Tony Roach.

Federer smashed his way to victory in the 2005 US open, defeating Andre Agassi in four sets.
