Former World No. 1 Roger Federer is one of the biggest assets in tennis. Over the years, the Swiss superstar has raised the bar in the men’s game. The manner in which he carries himself on and off the court is second to none. When he is on the court, he does his business without expressing much emotion and expression. 

Recently, former Romanian tennis player Victor Hanescu praised Roger Federer for his ability to transform attitudes on and off the tennis court, and he highlighted the Swiss ace’s elegant attitude. The former French Open quarterfinalist also noted Federer’s fierce and competitive attitude on the court.
