Blog Updated, May, 21st, 2007

´
After a 2 month bad spell, Federer finally was back to winning ways in Hamburg last week, winning the title there for the 4th time in his career. The victory was even more special because he (finally) beat Nadal on clay, endind the spaniards 81 match winning streak on that surface. Their have been some updates on all of this blogs pages.

Blog Created - March, 4th, 2007

´
For years now I've been following Roger Federer's tennis career and have been trying to keep up with all the records he has been establishing (by now, new ones are being established almost on a weekly basis).

I have found a lot of tennis sites dedicated to tennis records in general, but not one to Roger Federer in specific, so it´s about time one finally showed up, since, although he is still only 25 years old, he already has more records than all the other players in the history of tennis combined; also, all of those sites have some of the records, but not one (at least that I could find) has all of them neatly packed together.

Also, assuming he (Roger) doesn't injure himself, doesn´t get burnt out and retires at 26 like Bjorn Borg and dosen't get stabbed like Monica Seles, and assuming he has at least 3 or 4 more years at the top of his game, it's fun to try and predict when we will break the few records he doesn´t yet have.

So, there you have it: I hope that anyone that stumbles on to this blog by accident finds ir usefull and returns; and I hope that I'm not breaking any copywright laws by searching, copying and pasting together this information from several other sites; just in case there are any lawyers out there that want to file huge suits for "non quotation of source", or whatever, on the left side of the blog there era a series of links from all the sites I used in gathering up all this information.

Just one last thing: this blog doesn´t intend to cover all of tennis´ results and statistics (hey, I have some free time, but that not that much). This blog focuses only on Roger Federer's stats and records in particular; any other players will only be mentioned if they are in front of him on a specific record (for now, at least...) or to put a Federer record in perspective, and, even then, detailed information related to the other player(s) is most likely incomplete or non existent. So please don´t feel ofended if the name of your favourite player doesn´t show up anywhere on this blog; for that you can check some of the links on the left or run a search on google.


UPDATE: March, 6th, 2007

I´ve finally finished compiling all of Federer's data; I want to thank everyone who typed all the tennis data that's available on the web, specially the guy(s) at tennis28, where I picked up most of the facts I used.

The information is divided in to five diferent categories, as you can see on the top left; if anything is missing, wrong or out of date, feel free to tell me about it so I can correct it.

It seems that there are other Federer dedicated sites and blogs after all; two that I found today are

http://www.answers.com/topic/roger-federer

and

http://federermagic.blogspot.com/

Although I didn´t use any of their data, they were very usefull in confirming all the information from the other sites.
