"Federer is not without fault and no statue of him is being ordered and no halo hovers above his head. Yet of all his legacies, perhaps this will resonate longest. Not just how he played or how much he won, but how he conducted himself and influenced his peers. It is a dignity, after all, that has infected tennis' top echelon and the sport seems safe in grown-up hands. Proof lies in the duels fought by Murray, Nadal, Juan Martin del Potro, David Ferrer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Djokovic. They ache to win as players, yet they know how to lose as men."
