Here’s a snippet from the Sports Illustrated article about Federer:
“Never mind that he’s the most decorated men’s tennis player ever, is there a more likeable athlete?
“A 2011 Reputation Institute study listed Federer, 31, as the second-most-respected man in the world – behind only Nelson Mandela.”
