Hogyan lett a lobbanékony, kétes stílusérzékű, hirtelenszőke tinédzserből minden idők egyik legnagyobb versenyzője? Ez a történet nem a sorsról szól, hanem a lankadatlan akaraterőről. Christopher Clarey húsz éven át mindenhová követte Federert, illetve interjúkat készített az őt legközelebbről ismerőkkel, edzőivel és jelentősebb riválisaival. A mester a nagy képet és az intim részleteket egyaránt bemutatja: ez a könyv Federer pályájának tökéletes foglalata. „Senkit nem láttam olyan szépen játszani, mint Roger Federert. Clarey gazdag, olvasmányos és alapos könyvéből kiderül, hogyan lett Federerből az egyik legnagyobb teniszbajnok - és hogy ez mennyivel nehezebb volt, mint amilyen könnyű teljesítménynek Federer kifelé mutatta.” - Billie Jean King „Roger Federer úgy teniszezik, ahogy Michelangelo fest: minden ecsetvonása tökéletes, és a végeredmény remekmű. Christopher Clarey könyve ezt a munkásságot ragadja meg.” - Martina Navratilova „Christopher Clarey ritka madár: egyfelől valódi bennfentes, másfelől képes az objektivitásra. A mester káprázatos részletességű karriertörténet - olyan muníciót ad a sportrajongóknak, amely évtizedeken át kitart.” - Jim Courier „Clarey a tökéletes szerző ehhez az anyaghoz - számára Roger Federer pályafutása igazi jutalomjáték. Ennél jobban nem lehet megközelíteni a nagy teniszező életét, személyiségét, karaktervonásait. Clarey közel merészkedik, de csak annyira, hogy ne menjen az összkép rovására. Beszélgetéseken, anekdotákon keresztül, árnyaltan mutatja be Federert. Csupa olyasmit tudunk meg, amit eddig sehol sem olvashattunk. Méltányos, átgondolt újságírói teljesítmény ez a kötet.” - Chris Evert Christopher Clarey legendás sportriporter, a New York Times Eugene L.
