I never seen a Great like this
slapping forehands with such ease
Spinny backhands and dropshots
all sorts of majestic shots
The big One-Five you have hit
faster than your serve would sit
Never before done in history
has anyone seen such a story
Hard, grass and even clay
you never stopped, you just played
Thinking it was all a myth
number one was only an if.
Lucky some might say it was
even Nadal-less, some say it wore
Soderling and Roddick are not him
French and Wimby, he went missing
But hard to argue all the facts
filled with style and heroic comebacks
The game of Federer so fluid and true
mixed with a grit, and mistakes so few
Like a ballet dance of bat and balls
Orchastrated; the biggest legend of them all
More than just the huff and puff
he made it look easy, although that's a laugh
Federer is now a father of two
passion he still has to pursue
He'll never stop at one and five
you better believe that,
'Cos he's Number One.
