Listen "Episode 7: Roger Federer"
Episode Synopsis
pplpod Episode 7 traces Roger Federer’s arc—from Basel prodigy to the sport’s most elegant problem-solver. We revisit the 2003 Wimbledon breakout, the 310 weeks at No. 1 (including a record 237 straight), and the rivalries that sharpened his game with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Along the way, we break down the mechanics behind the magic—disguise on serve, elastic footwork, the knifed backhand slice, all-court improvisation—and the late-career reinvention after injury. Off court, we look at his business moves, the Laver Cup, and the Roger Federer Foundation’s impact, then close on legacy: what “Federer” now means to players, brands, and fans worldwide.
