Roger Federer is Fat
No, really.
The man has a generous helping of fat around his waist and no matter how baggy his shirts are, it is there.
Which makes his achievements all the more incredible that he is far from a Rafael Nadal in the physique stakes. Add to this his penchant for attending Wimbledon finals in white, 20s style suites and you would think that between stamina, pride and Nadal, one of them would orchestrate his fall.
It didn’t happen this year, indeed going five sets against a player more robot than human and to prevail by breaking twice was quite simply remarkable.
Not bad for someone a little podgy around the stomach.
Nobody cares ……it’s tennis !
I care. And I care that people take the time to notice that I have a surprising coverng of fat on me thank you VERY much, Richard.
The fat people of the world care Richard and I also care that someone who is not exactly a physical Adonis can be the best of all time. I like that because it shows that skill, technique and mental strength can overcome physical limitations.
You’d care too if you were a king-sized bloater
