"There's no finish line. Far from done." World #1 tennis player Federer wins record 15th Grand Slam at Wimbledon

(quote)

Roger Federer (born 8 August 1981) is a Swiss professional tennis player. He is currently ranked world No. 1, having previously held the number one position for a record 237 consecutive weeks. Many sports analysts, tennis critics, former and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time. Federer holds numerous male singles records, the most notable of which is winning an all-time record 15 Grand Slam titles, including a career Grand Slam. Federer has played an unprecedented 20 career Grand Slam finals, and as of July 2009 Federer has reached the semi-finals (or better) of the last 21 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, a streak spanning over five years. As a result of his successes in tennis, Federer was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for four consecutive years (2005–2008).

Federer claimed to have been "surprised" to become the player he is today. "I never thought I could be this consistent, and become that great a player, with so many qualities," admitted the now most successful player of all time. But the evidence is that, though he is 28 next month, there may be much left. Asked what he had written on his T-shirt, Federer replied: "There is no finish line. Far from done."
