BIOGRAPHY: Federer is the current #1 ranked tennis player in the world, having previously held the number one position for a record 237 consecutive weeks.
He won the Indesit ATP 2004 Race on September 14. The ATP confirmed that his lead was insurmountable, marking what is believed to be the earliest a player has locked up the year-end No. 1 position since the ATP Rankings were established in 1973.
He won his third Grand Slam title of the year at the U.S. Open. That was his 9th title of the year, his 16th since the beginning of 2003, his 19th career title. No other male player had ever won his first four Grand Slam finals.
He is considered to have the talent to be the best tennis player of all time. His fellow players have nicknamed him "The Natural."
He is the favorite tennis player of Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue. She sometimes can be seen at his matches. He's frequently featured in American Vogue and once graced the cover of Men's Vogue.
He's playing on the tour without a coach or a trainer and has no plans to find one as long as he keeps winning.
