Fedegraphica: A Graphic Biography of the Genius of Roger Federer by Mark Hodgkinson explores the life and career of Roger Federer, almost universally recognised as the greatest tennis player of all time and possibly the greatest athlete.

Adored worldwide, Federer has become one of sport's most iconic and popular figures. This innovative graphic biography delves into Federer's genius, celebrated like never before. Beautiful infographics illustrate his serving patterns, shot speed, spin generation, and movement, as well as his performance in high-pressure situations such as tie breaks and Grand Slam finals.

Federer's astonishing records, including winning more majors than any other man and spending more weeks as world number one, are showcased against his rivals and the legends of the game. Drawing on conversations with Federer and exclusive interviews with those close to the Swiss, Hodgkinson narrates how a young hothead from Basel transformed into a calm and poised athlete who came to dominate tennis.

Despite being deep in his thirties, Federer continues to seek improvements, challenge younger competitors, and contend for the sport's biggest prizes. The infographics, stunning photography, and insightful analysis from Federer's rivals, idols, coaches, and members of his inner circle will give you a new appreciation of his greatness and the profound impact his tennis has had on people around the world.
