Australia's Rod Laver, widely considered to be the best player in history, says his greatest pleasure as a tennis spectator has come from watching current world number one Roger Federer.
Although the Swiss is yet to win a French Open title to give him the full set of all four grand slam crowns, his elegant positioning on court marks him out as extra special, according to Laver.
"I certainly know from the tennis side of it just how much talent that Federer has got," Laver, a 69-year-old who won 11 grand slam titles said.
"His court coverage and anticipation are uncanny and make him different from anybody else out there. He's never out of position and has a knack of knowing what he hits will determine what's coming back, and he knows what's coming back.
