For:
1. the numbers alone: Over 100 ATP titles, 20 Grand Slams, an oil drum full of shed tears of joy and enough records for a Guinness Book special edition.
2 And how he achieved it all! Federer moves around the court with such smooth elegance that we sometimes play “Swan Lake” instead of the live commentary.
3rd Sugardaddy Deluxe: Over 300,000 children (mainly in South African countries) benefit from the foundation set up by the spendthrift sportsman, who earned 64 million dollars in 2018 according to Forbes.
4. after every wet Federer fart, tabloids speculate about his retirement, while the King has ascended the tennis throne again at 37 – midlife crisis my ass!
5 Jura-Federer duels with Nespresso-Clooney for coffee machine supremacy.
Against:
1st exceptional athlete, benefactor, model dad, dream son-in-law, brand ambassador, a gentleman who gives interviews in seven and a half languages and pats his opponent’s back even after the bitterest of defeats – one person alone cannot be so versatile and morally upright!
2. for a long time, the Baselbieter had its domicile in Wollrau – for reasons of child-friendliness and never because of the low tax rate. Of course.
3. speaking of the Basel region: the dialect.
4. pasta sauce, milk drinks, champagne, a Swiss bank account, luxury watches and Japanese clothes… The advertising contract giant wants to sell us more junk than Google and Facebook put together.
5. speaking of Google: start the image search “Federer stars in Mercedes commerical”!
