Former world tennis player number one established last record in France, winning the Davis Cup. Now "king Roger" has got everything
by Emanuele Bonini
King Roger is back. Thirty three years old but still on the top of world tennis. It seemed Federer's star was eclipsed once and for all, but it shines bright. His last victory in a Grand Slam was celebrated in 2012. Maybe a new generation of champions in ATP made forced the Swiss tennis player to leave the first position in men ranking, but there still something to win: the David Cup. And Federer won. Of course it was not a Federer personal victory, but destiny wanted was he the one to close the challenge winning the decisive match. Now, bringing Switzerland to win the Davis Cup for time first time in tennis history, Federer rose to the Olympus. He was able to win everything he could: the Davis Cup was the only trophy never gained in career, and this gap was overtaken. Thus once again Federer re-wrote his personal sport life, his statistics, his legend. He took less than two hours to do all that: the Swiss prevailed on Richard Gasquet 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. A perfect game played in one hour and fifty two minutes. It could be said everything, it could be possible write very long, but it's not here the right place to do so. Here is time to celebrate perhaps the best player modern tennis has never had.
