This great article[1] covers a lot of finesses in the Tennis universe with its Swiss king. The high level beauty of Federers game can be seen even from Tennis newbies. With his smooth movement, it looks like he has an additional second of time. Where other players struggle with intense footwork, he seemingly floats around the court (probably best seen with his great inside-out shoot).

If you get a chance to seem them, probably some of the best modern matches are:

* ATP Wimbledon Final 2007 & 2008: Federer - Nadal

* ATP Australian Open Semi: Nadal - Verdasco
