Review:

"It's useful for me. . . . I am often asked about events in his career. . . . Now, I know where I can look them up."  Lynette Federer, Roger Federer's mother and a member of the Roger Federer Foundation council, in Tages-Anzeiger (Switzerland)

"A biography that qualifies as a Federer encyclopedia. . . . A must for every tennis fan."  Schweizer Famiie magazine (Zurich)

"It’s accessible and sketches out his career development very logically. At the same time, it throws in enough about his personality and the rest of his life to flesh out the tale without turning it into it a flabby puff-piece."  Tennis.com

"It's a virtual encyclopedia of Federer's career. There's material in there I've not seen anywhere else. Fantastic."  South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"It could have easily been called the Encyclopedia Federer."  Tennisreporters.net
