Roger Federer

By Tangotiger, 02:09 AM

One thing I love about Federer (and Gretzky) is how utterly non-ashholey they are.  Just a couple of guys who happen to know they are the best, possibly ever, at what they do.  They don’t get involved in pettiness or minutiae.  They’ve got their act together.  Here’s Federer’s between the legs shot.  He gives a self-pump for pride, and then deflects it off as luck or undeserving of adulation.  As Andy Roddick once said: “I wish I could hate you, but you are such a nice guy.” (There’s also the previous between-the-legs shot at the 1:50 mark).
