Federer has won ten [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] men's singles titles in 32 appearances, three [[Tennis Masters Cup]] titles, and 13 [[ATP Masters Series]] titles. In 2004, the Swiss became the first man since [[Mats Wilander]] in 1988 to win three of four Grand Slam singles tournaments in the same year: the [[Australian Open]], [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] and [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]]. In 2006, he became the first and only [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Men.27s_Singles_3|man]] to repeat this feat and the first man in the [[Tennis Open Era|open era]] to win at least ten singles tournaments in three consecutive years (2004 to 2006).<ref name="atpweekly">{{cite news | first=Alison | last=Kim | coauthors= | title=Dominance at No. 1 | date=[[2006-11-12]] | publisher=ATPtennis.com | url =http://www.atptennis.com/5/en/media/ATW/2006/ATPTennisWeekly38.1.pdf | work =ATP Tennis Weekly | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref> He is also the only player to have won both the [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] and [[U.S. Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]] singles titles in three consecutive years (2004-2006).

Hi Rlandmann. I see you are adding to [[Aircraft types]]. Great! I was beginning to think that I was playing a lone hand keeping that page up to date! Right now it's just a plain vanilla list, but in the back of my mind I figure that, sooner or later, it can become a sort of master index to all the Wikipedia aircraft entries, something that is really worth browsing through. I seem to be working on the other, even more interesting, sort of flying machines this week (the ones with feathers), but no doubt I'll be back to do a few more aircraft entries, or un-stub some before too long.

==Personal life==

Federer was born in the town of [[Binningen]] (near [[Basel]], [[Switzerland]]), to Swiss-German Robert Federer and South African Lynette Federer. He grew up 10 minutes from Basel proper, in suburban [[Münchenstein]]. Federer has an older sister, Diana.
 
He considers his main language [[German language|German]], but he also speaks [[French language|French]] and [[English language|English]] fluently.<ref name="askroger"> {{cite web |url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/fanzone/askroger/index.cfm |title=Ask Roger; Official Website |accessdate=2007-03-02}}</ref> He conducts press conferences in all three. Answering a frequently asked question about the proper pronunciation of his first name, Federer said: "As my mother comes from South Africa, my name has always been pronounced the English way."<ref name="askroger"/>

As a boy, Federer was very emotional on the court and threw many tantrums, in contrast to his cool, calm playing style today. He admits to being kicked off the practice courts frequently. Federer was also a very talented soccer player. At one point, he considered becoming a professional soccer player but instead decided to make a career in tennis. He continues to support [[FC Basel]], his hometown club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tennis-x.com/fun/federerfile.php |title=Tennis-X looks into the game and life of tennis star Roger Federer |accessdate=2007-03-02 |date=2004-02-17 }}</ref> When he was younger, he liked to watch tennis player [[Marcelo Ríos]] in action.<ref>{{cite news | first=Scoop | last=Malinowski | coauthors= | title=Marcelo Rios: The Man We Barely Knew | date=[[2005-03-22]] | publisher= | url =http://www.sportsmediainc.net/tennisweek/index.cfm?func=showarticle&newsid=12629 | work =Tennis Week | pages = | accessdate = 2007-03-02 | language = }}</ref>

Federer spends his off-court time at the beach, skiing, and playing [[card games]], [[table tennis]], soccer, and golf. He is a avid fan of [[Färjestads BK]], a Swedish Elite League ice-hockey team.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.farjestadsbk.se/showpage.asp?pid=1164557184 | title = Nu har FBK-supportern Federer fått tröjan| accessdate=2006-10-13}}</ref> He currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland and is dating former [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA]] player and fellow Swiss [[Miroslava Vavrinec]] (Mirka), who retired from tennis in 2002 after a foot injury.

Regarding [[ejector seat]]s. It might be better to have corrected my addition rather than simply revert it out of existence. Maybe the word "British" could go in there... it's hard to find too much history on the very early use of ejector seats prior to the allies work on them post WW2, so if you know much about the german work, maybe you could have a look at the article (on seats) and see if it can be worked in there somehow.

Hello Rlandmann. I am glad that you've copyedited the article about [[Herman Potocnik|Herman Poto&#269;nik Noordung]], since it was not written by a native speaker. If you take a look to the page history, the article was already extensivelly copyedited, mostly by [[User:Rmhermen|Rmhermen]], so why such a major revision? I have to agree with your copyedits and I would like to give here some of my arguments for unacceptable changes: (just in short).
[[Image:Roger federer athens.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Federer at the [[2004 Summer Olympics]].]]
# my language uses the word cosmonautics equally as astronautics. I can't see why English do not,
# what is wrong with Clarke's letter on 1993-01-15? For me it is interesting and I guess it is also for other readers,
# you've put out all notes about Vojko Kogej's work of Poto&#269;nik's life and work. You should consider that Kogej is one of the most qualified persons to discuss Poto&#269;nik's work. I think his detective work in 1984 in Berlin's Staatsbibliothek was not just a cat's cough (as we say),
# Von Braun's note that Poto&#269;nik was one of his teachers is now also out, ....
# it was clearly written that beside Oberth also Wernher von Braun and Arthur Charles Clarke seriously took Poto&#269;nik's ideas (or concepts (what a difference?)). Now sentence says something else if not enough,
# you've moved out also all Russian "middle names" ("father's names")- I can see that this is common habit in English language, originally is not, ....,
# "ordunga" is a Slovene colloquial language word not of literary one, so it should be stated so, ....
# (addition 1) his calculation of Syncom 2 is also left out now. I thought that one of the purposes of encyclopedia is an information, (but now I'm not sure anymore), ....

Perhaps we have different definitions of ''ad hominem''. If I had said "Rlandmann is a fool," that would be an ad hominem comment. If I say "Rlandmann's comments are arrogant and patronising" (which I found them to be), I don't regard that as ad hominem. Having said that, I have no desire to pursue the argument. If you found my comments offensive, I apologise. I agree that the issue of the article's title ought to be submitted to somebody else's arbitration. [[User:Adam Carr|Adam]] 23:50, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I really don't want to have this discussion over again, but since you insist: this is the comment I found to be arrogant, patronising and contemptuous of people who don't read German and/or are not as familiar with German aviation history as you are.

:With respect, that remark just shows that you are in no position to be commenting on this subject. You are clearly unfamiliar with the literature, "specialist" though you may consider it.

I didn't say I found the comment "offensive" in a personal sense - I have a very thick skin.

Federer started his clay-court season by reaching the final of the [[Monte Carlo Masters]]. There, as in 2006, he lost to second seeded [[Rafael Nadal]]. This time, the score was 6-4, 6-4.

Of course many article titles are meaningless to many readers. If you don't know what [[hermeneutics]] are, you won't understand the article title. But that doesn't mean we should ''deliberately'' and ''unnecessarily'' use a title which will be meaningless to most readers, when rendering the title into English will make it more comprehensible. I am quite consistent about this. I would call an article about the Kuomintang [[Nationalist Party (China)]], even though Kuomintang is more widely used in English than is Reichsluftfahrtministerium. When I wrote an article about the Bund, I called it [[General Jewish Labor Union]], which is the English translation of its name, even though the word Bund is widely used. [[User:Adam Carr|Adam]] 03:13, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
On [[May 20]], [[2007]], however, Federer won the [[Hamburg Masters]] tournament, defeated Nadal on clay for the first time 2-6, 6-2, 6-0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2007 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> It was his thirteenth [[ATP Masters Series]] title, his sixth tournament win on clay, and the second time he defeated Nadal with a bagel set.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/results/index.cfm?uYear=2007 |title=Roger Federer - Results |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> This victory also ended Nadal's male record of 81 consecutive match wins on clay.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=2876658 |title=Nadal's clay win streak comes to end at 81 |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref>
 
At the [[French Open]], Federer reached the final for the second time but again lost to Nadal 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Federer fell to 4-8 against Nadal. This tournament set a record for being the first time that the top two players in the computer rankings have won nine consecutive Grand Slam singles tournaments between them ([[2005 French Open]] through [[2007 French Open]]). The day after the final, Federer announced that he was withdrawing from the [[Gerry Weber Open]] in Halle, which he had won the last four years. He cited fatigue and fear of getting an injury.<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/news/newsdetail.cfm?uNewsID=569 |title=OFF COURT - ROGER WITHDRAWS FROM HALLE |accessdate=2007-06-21 }}</ref> He therefore entered Wimbledon for the first time without having played a warm-up grass-court tournament.
I don't attempt to change [[Kuomintang]] or [[Luftwaffe]] because (a) those terms are reasonably well known in English, and (b) I would not win those arguments and I do get sick of arguing with people all the time. That doesn't mean I can't and won't object to particularly egregious examples of incomprehensible foreign-language titles (like Reichsluftfahrtministerium).

* 1989&ndash;1994: Seppli Kacovsky (Switzerland). Kacovsky was the head coach of the Old Boys’ Tennis Club in Federer’s home town of [[Basel]]. Roger joined Old Boys' when he was eight years old.<ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.tcob.ch |title=TC Old Boys Basel |accessdate=2007-03-02 |language=Swiss Standard German }}</ref>
* 1991&ndash;1995, 1997&ndash;1998: Peter Carter (Australia). Carter gave Federer weekly private coaching, from the age of 10 to 14. They reunited in a new training facility in [[Biel]] in 1997, and Carter coached Federer on and off until he turned pro.
* 1995&ndash;1997: After Federer became the Swiss junior champion, he was selected to join the Swiss National Tennis center in [[Ecublens, Vaud]], and trained there until he finished school.
* 1999&ndash;2003: [[Peter Lundgren]] (Sweden). When Federer entered the professional circuit, he chose former top-25 player Lundgren, whom he met in Biel, as his coach. He still consulted frequently with Carter.
* 2005&ndash;2007: [[Tony Roche]] (Australia). Roche is a former Australian tennis champion who coached [[Patrick Rafter]] and [[Ivan Lendl]] to the world number one ranking. He helped Federer for 10-15 weeks per year before [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] and [[ATP Masters Series]] tournaments. Federer and Roche split two weeks before the start of the 2007 French Open.<ref>{{cite web | title = Federer splits with coach Roche | author = Reuters | url = http://edition.cnn.com/2007/SPORT/05/12/tennis.federer.reut/ | accessdate = 2007-05-13 }}</ref> Federer subsequently announced that he would compete without a coach during the Hamburg Masters Series Tournament, French Open, and Wimbledon.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.tennis.com/news/news.aspx?id=78820|title= Tennis.com News|accessdate= 2007-05-31}}</ref>
 
== Playing style==
I am being slightly facetious, as I tend to do during extremely tiresome arguments. So sue me. My entirely serious opinion is that 90% of people will never have seen the acronym RLM. I must confess to being absolutely astonished that you are persisting in the view that either Reichsluftfahrtministerium or RLM is a suitable title for an English-language encyclopaedia when it is ''perfectly simple'' to use an English title with redirects from the German ones. Do the article titles [[Obed'enniy Gosudarstvennoi Politicheskii Upravlennie]] or [[&#1500;&#1497;&#1499;&#1493;&#1491;]] or [[Rénmín Jiefàng Jun]] or [[Tsusho-sangyo-sho]] convey much information to you? They are all well-known organisations, but 90% of readers would not be able to determine ''which'' organisations they are. [[User:Adam Carr|Adam]] 06:52, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Federer has a versatile, all-court playing style and can hit all of the fundamental shots with a high degree of proficiency. He is an adept volleyer and an excellent baseliner who can dictate play with precise groundstrokes from both wings.<ref>{{cite web| first=S.

Federer uses fairly conventional grips. His forehand [[Grip (tennis)|grip]] is somewhere between a modern eastern and mild semi-western, meaning that his hand is about halfway underneath the racquet, allowing for either a flat or [[topspin]] shot (information about this grip can be seen [http://www.tennisserver.com/turbo/turbo_03_04.html here]). He hits through his forehand on a straighter plane than nearly any other player and finishes his swing wrapped around his back, which is not the typical technique of following through after contact and "scratching your back" with the elbow pointing skyward and the racquet coming over the shoulder.<ref>{{cite news | first=Christopher | last=Clarey | coauthors= | title= Coming to grips with today's forehand | date = 2006-06-25 | url =http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/06/25/news/rwtechnic.php | work = International Herald Tribune | accessdate = 2007-03-02 }}</ref> He also can generate extreme top-spin with the shot, allowing him to open up cross-court angles while still hitting the ball with pace. [[David Foster Wallace]] has described the exceptional speed, fluidity and brute force of this forehand motion as "a great liquid whip," <ref name="Wallace">{{cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/20/sports/playmagazine/20federer.html?ex=1313726400&en=716968175e36505e&ei=5090 | first = David Foster| last = Wallace | title = Federer as Religious Experience | date = 2006-08-20 | work = Play Magazine | publisher = New York Times | accessdate = 2007-06-21 }}</ref> while [[John McEnroe]] has referred to it as "the greatest shot in our sport" on numerous occasions.{{Fact|date=June 2007}} Federer plays with a one-handed backhand, which has improved over the last few years. Although critics and coaches consider his backhand to have been his weaker side, it has developed into one of the best in the game. He has an excellent [[slice]] but can also fire great top-spin shots. Federer tends to hit his groundstrokes early, while the ball is still on the rise, much like [[Andre Agassi]] did. While this requires excellent reactions and footwork, it means that Federer hits his groundstrokes closer to the net than most of his opponents. This reduces the reaction time of his opponents and allows him to hit the sharply angled winners that are a trademark of his game.<ref name="Wallace"/>
You say: "the standard way of referring to the German Air Ministry (1933-1945) is by its native name or acronym." My point is that there is ''no'' standard way of referring to these things in English (the language of this encyclopaedia), since they are not sufficiently well-known to English-speakers, except for German aviation history buffs, to ''have'' a standard designation. So I made one up. I am now persuaded that German Air Ministry is not the best possible choice, but I maintain the view that in an English-language encyclopaedia articles should have English titles unless there is a ''very good reason'' why they should not, which is not the case here.
 
As of [[2007]], Federer has started to come to the net more often, urged to do so by former coach [[Tony Roche]].{{Fact|date=June 2007}} He is a good volleyer and is notably strong at backhand smashes, one of the most difficult shots in the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=
You also say: "It doesn't help when people so often attribute decisions and actions of the RLM to the Luftwaffe as if the two bodies were one-and-the-same." No doubt. The way to solve this is to write an accessible article on the [[Reich Aviation Ministry]] that explains the difference, not to ''conceal'' your article behind an esoteric title which no-one not already familiar with the subject will recognise.

His serve is difficult to read because he tosses the ball in the same spot no matter where he intends to serve it and because he turns his back to his opponents during his motion. His first serve is typically around 200&nbsp;km/h (125&nbsp;mph) (although he is capable of serving into the 210&nbsp;km/h (130&nbsp;mph) range).<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.topix.net/forum/tennis/andy-roddick/TJ8FHK64V5B309G2S|title= Service Speed Comparison:Federer, Roddick, Sampras|accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref> His second serve usually has a heavily kicked delivery. Federer generally serves with placement and precision, but on occasion he will hit a powerful serve to keep his opponents off balance.
 
His footwork, balance, and court coverage are exceptional, and he is considered to be one of the fastest movers in the game. Unlike most players who take many small steps when approaching the ball in order to maintain balance (exemplified by the classic footwork of Jimmy Connors), Federer takes long fluid strides. He can hit a strong shot on the run or while backpedaling, allowing him to switch from defense to offense as well as any player on tour.
Well rand i moved everything back to RLM type names, I think that seems to be the defacto name from all that discussion. Really I had no idea when i started that list there would be so much other work and controversy about it. Anyway i think it will turn out ok in the end. Links on the luftwaffe can explain its relationship to the RLM and it will be fine network of knowledge surrrounding the matter. Since all the all the names discussed will come up in searches people will bumpt into these pages either way. Let me know if you have a problem any stuff and we'll work it out civilly. I think I'v had my fill of these wiki-war things . [[User:Greyengine5|Greyengine5]] 22:44, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Federer's relaxed, smooth playing style belies his aggressive and opportunistic tactics. He constructs points to get in a position that allows him to hit winners with his groundstrokes.
I'm not inclined to spend the rest of my life debating this, so I won't push the point any further. [[User:Adam Carr|Adam]] 00:32, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
=== Equipment ===
Federer, who has used various racquets, currently plays with a Wilson K Factor KSix-One Tour 90 Racquet;<ref> {{cite web|url=http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/player.html?ccode=RFEDERER |title=Roger Federer Equipment |accessdate = 2007-03-07 }}</ref> some speculate that it is a custom mold of the Wilson ProStaff Original 6.0 85 used by [[Pete Sampras]]. Federer strings his racquets at a relatively loose tension (53-60&nbsp;pounds depending on his opponent and surface).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/fanzone/askroger/index.cfm?uNC=97027562&uPage=1&uCategoryID=3 |title=Ask Roger; Official Website |accessdate = 2007-03-02}}</ref> This allows him to return balls at higher velocity with less effort but makes consistent accuracy more difficult. Federer's past racquets include the Wilson nCode nSix-One Tour 90, Wilson ProStaff Tour 90, and the Wilson ProStaff Original 6.0 85. Federer's current KSix-One Tour 90 is a racquet designed for advanced players and is characterised by its smaller hitting surface, heavy weight, and thin beam. Federer endorses [[Wilson Sporting Goods|Wilson]] tennis racquets and accessories and [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] apparel and footwear. He also has endorsement deals from various other companies, many of them being Swiss.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/rogers/sponsors/index.cfm|title=Roger Federer-Sponsors|accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref>
 
== Records ==
----
{{main|Records held by Roger Federer}}
Roger Federer holds a number of records in tennis history. Most prominent may be the fact that he has won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in the same year for three years, as of pre-Wimbledon 2007. He has surpassed a number of long-standing records, such as Jimmy Connors' record of 160 weeks straight ranked #1. Federer is chasing Pete Sampras' record of 14 major tournament victories as well as [[Rod Laver]]'s two Grand Slams (winning all four majors in one calendar year).

Ok, so now that Adam has given up on the argument AFTER causing all the damage, what exactly AM I supposed to call my article on the RLM? "German Air Ministry (1933-45)" is about as stupid a title as I can imagine, how he could possibly consider that am improvement is beyond me.

Hi Rlandmann. Regarding your request about the [[Atlas Cheetah]] article. I was actually thinking about writing an article about it, so my answer is "Yes" :-). Although there is quite a bit about it under the Mirage III already, but it is a bit long and unstructured. I suppose some can be re-used and the rest deleted except for a short reference once the Cheetah article is written. [[User:Elf-friend|Elf-friend]] 22:26, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
