Just over a decade ago, David Foster Wallace wrote Roger Federer as Religious Experience for The New York Times. It’s something I, as a Federer fan, have read countless of times. After he wins. After he loses. When I was missing watching him play. Even today, it rings true, and because I have experienced Federer play, it will be a story that I can understand long after Federer retires. The story isn’t so much about analyzing Federer as a player, but rather assessing and reflecting on what it’s like to watch him play.
