Not surprised. Roger spends more time than any other player giving interviews, in 4 different languages!

Congrats  It's great that Roger receives such awards year by year, but who would deserve them more?

He’s such a pure, class act. In other words, he’s humble. Yet he does not need to be.

Re: Federer receives tennis writers' awards
This isn't the same thing as the 'ATP Player of the Year award', is it? Not that Federer should have any trouble winning that award.

I think Roger says three and a half. It depends on the dialect, but I'm told that to speakers of standard High German, Swiss German is incomprehensible upon first hearing, although they can adapt to it fairly quickly, without of course being able to speak it.

A Swiss-german can easily speak "regular" German, but a Gerrman won't understand a word in Swiss-german language (let alone speaking it). Based on the same language, but clearly different when it comes to speaking...
