Roger Federer has spent more than half of his life as a professional tennis player, and is, in the eyes of most people, and according to most stats, the best male player ever to pick up a racquet.

The show also assesses his latest feat, talks about what he’s really like, and discusses whether he has already decided on a retirement plan.
