Roger Federer on the Cover of ESPN The Magazine

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Winner of a record 16 Grand Slams, Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player
of our time. But can he be called the greatest athlete, period? In "One Among
Many," ESPN The Magazinewriter Tim Keown tries to answer this question by taking
a look at the man behind the racket-including his innate talent (physiologists
say he has "dynamic balance"), fairly humble lifestyle (he has turned down $60
million in endorsement deals in the past 18 months alone) and dominance over his
competition (he`s been No. 1 for 279 of the past 325 weeks). Also, in "The Start
of Something Big," The Mag focuses on all-star pitcher Roy Halladay who, as the
Phillies new gem, will look to shut down batters in the NL just as he did for
the past 12 years in the AL. And last, but not least…"Driver X" answers some of
the questions he gets asked most-including what scares him when he is speeding
around the tracks at 185 mph. ESPN The Magazine on newsstands April 23!
