Many consider him the all time greatest player, who ever picked up the tennis racquet. And, there are many apparent facts that do prove in many ways that Federer has certainly taken the tennis to a whole new level and also helped it to retain its elegance and beauty with his awe-inspiring control and shot selection on court – which apparently contributed in fuelling its popularity escalation across the globe. But, one fact that stands out is that Federer has graced the Championships or Wimbledon in his own style and created a new blend of Fedx and Wimbledon that elucidates the spirit of this magnificent sport and also celebrates the aesthetics and beauty of it. Federer caught the attention of everyone in 2001, when he beat legendary Pete Sampras, who was a four-time defending champion there - in a five-setter epic at Wimbledon. Though, he could not win the title then, he certainly made his mark and also gave a prelude of what was stored in the future – for his fans and all those who saw the glimpses of a champion on that day. Federer failed to impress in the following year at Wimbledon as he lost in straight sets to Mario Ancic, but that defeat worked as a catalyst as it was a lull before the storm – and what happened in the next year was a beginning of an era that changed the landscape of tennis world and the name Federer became a synonymous with Wimbledon.
