How about adding 250,500 and Masters tournaments and just write number of timees he has won it.

Please add in the '2018: 20th Grand Slam title and return to world No. 1' section the following: In the US Open, Federer comfortably won the first three rounds without dropping a single set. In the fourth round, John Millman, ranked 55 in the world at the time, shocked Federer, and won in four sets.

Hi everyone, since recently some editors have been adding back the section saying Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time into the lead even though a discussion in July 2018 (titled "Experts are on record saying Federer is "the greatest of all time," NOT "one of the greatest of all time"" and is now in Archive 6) established this was subjective for the lead (and that the same applied for other articles with a legacy section e.g. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal). I don't have a huge problem with its mention in the lead personally as long as it is sourced even though I agree it is a bit subjective but at the same time, it should only be readded if a new consensus is established here first because a consensus can always change and the above mentioned dicussion in July 2018 gave a consensus that it should not be mentioned in the lead and kept in the legacy section. The reason why it was considered subjective for the lead is that many opinions (whether from experts or not) differ on whether Federer really is the greatest of all time and so it is a debatable matter, especially since Nadal or Djokovic both potentially could take that title if they overtake Federer's Slam record. So I do advise other users to please discuss the matter here first and only readd it into the lead if a new consensus is established otherwise I and other editors might have to keep reverting it's readdition, thank you.

For more than a decade, the first few paragraphs of this article have included a reference to Federer's acclaim as the greatest/one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Recently, user:Fyunck(click) removed this reference ( see here for diff). I ask that it is reinstated, in line with longstanding consensus among the editors of this article as well as common wiki practice relating to similar articles (consider Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Pelé and Ronnie O'Sullivan, for example). גיא ( talk) 16:49, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

In two different sections of this article, it is mentioned that Federer is considered the greatest of all time by many analysts. However, nothing as such is written in the wiki article for Nadal or Djokovic. Whether Federer is the greatest of all time is still an open debate and doesn't correctly and unbiasedly characterize the player. Wikipedia is and has been a very neutral media of reading facts. Opinions are controversial and unless backed by a sizeable chunk of the human population or unless not debatable anymore, should be removed. I hope this edit can be fixed. Thanks.
I suggest to remove the following statements: 1. Many players and analysts consider Federer the greatest tennis player of all time. 2. He has also been called the greatest athlete of his generation. 3. Given his achievements, many players and analysts have considered Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time.

This article currently has 69 citation needed tags(!), which were almost all added by @ Whywhenwhohow in this edit. Having this many tags means that if re-reviewed against the criteria for being selected as a "Good article", it would be given an "immediately fail" per criterion 4. Should it then have its rating downgraded, or are these tags unjustified and need to be removed? Calbow ( talk) 16:54, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi everyone, since the lead has been changed again and the notice I added has been removed by User:Hippo43, I'm just wondering if we could keep the lead as saying "He is widely considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time." without mentioning there that he is the greatest tennis player of all time? Because it seems to me that there is currently no agreement on what really is best for the lead, some are saying this should be kept in the legacy while others just keep adding it back to the lead. I also looked at the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy and it seems to say that we could to some degree mention "one of the greatest" in an article (as long as he/she is "the greatest" is not used) but it doesn't state whether it should be mentioned in the lead or main section of the article. So I'm wondering if we can just keep the mentioned sentence in the lead, remove it again or reword it from "greatest" to "best" as there should be an agreed consensus on this matter by most Wikipedia users. Many thanks. Broman178 ( talk) 09:53, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Following his new sponsorship deal with UNIQLO, Federer was urged by Public Eye and Clean Clothes Campaign to call UNIQLO to resolve disputes with workers over compensation.

Hello guys, my name is CharisTra and I started at 2016 editing on Wikipedia and more often on Roger Federer pages. I've done a lot of new things. I have many new ideas and formats in my mind during the years and sometimes I can't write them as it should be, in a proper way. But the point is that I give you the new formats and possibly you can make perfect. Some things that I've made had deleted during the years but most of them have stayed and I am happy for that. My goal is to make Roger Federer's pages better and better, and all tennis players' pages in general. First of all, I absolutely agree with Alexandergrant19 to put Laver Cup on the same footing as the Hopman Cup and Davis Cup. Because it's officially recognized by the ATP and wins/losses count at the players' career. I also think that we need to put the inaugural ATP Cup on the same footing with the other three, as well. I also suggest to create for the 'career statistics' page for all the players a table for Team Tennis Leagues. Because are something different from Team Tennis Competitions and Exhibitions. Are Team Tennis Leagues and must have their own category. Team Tennis Leagues: 1) World TeamTennis (WTT) 2) International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) 3) Champions Tennis League (CTL) 4) Odisha Tennis Premier League (ODPL)
IPTL, CTL and ODPL are not abolished but ceased. For now are not active tournaments but maybe in the future will continue. Also there are players that have won those leagues and would be unfair if we don't put on their career statistics page.
Also we should make it clear in National and international represantation the hierarchy and the right order. National and international represantation (Men): 1) Olympic Games 2) Davis Cup 3) Laver Cup 4) ATP Cup 6) World Team Cup 7) Hopman Cup
National and international represantation (Women): 1) Olympic Games 2) Fed Cup 3) Wightman Cup 4) Hopman Cup
I know that the Wightman Cup and World Team Cup are abolished but there are players that have won those tournaments. Also the Hopman Cup is not abolished. Is ceased for 2020, but from 2021 possibly will continue in another country.
Also we need to add some words in the main page of Roger Federer for the third edition of Laver Cup 2019 Laver Cup in the International representation category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharisTra ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

The Wikipedia editor @Fyunck keepds deleting that "Federer has won one Davis Cup title with the Switzerland Davis Cup team". Such a deletion is, I believe, not justified. In team sports, it is usually said that a player has won X tournament with his team.
In the Wikipedia page for Cristiano Ronaldo it is said that he won 4 Champions League titles. In the Wikipedia page for Michael Jordan it is said that Michael Jordan won 6 rings with the bulls.
Even on tennis, the ITF said that "Nadal aims to win his 5th Davis Cup title with Spain"
So please, stop changing that "Federer won one Davis Cup title with the Swiss Davis Cup team, unless there is some consensus to change it. James343e ( talk) 12:07, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Under the section labeled "Philanthropy and outreach" and subsection "World's most respected, admired and trusted personalities", there is a line stating:
"As millions lost their livelihoods, hundreds of thousands got sick, and tens of thousands of people across the world died because of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, Federer complained that he felt “devastated” upon learning that The Champions, Wimbledon, had been canceled. “I can't wait to go back next year,” he said.[282]"
This is COMPLETELY irrelevant in regards to the section and subsection, and is extremely misleading. Instead of stating a fact about the above title, it denigrates the individual and is an assassination of character written by assumedly a tennis troll. Please remove this line.

I'm pretty sure a consensus has been established by the number of times Federer won a fan-favourite (it's going on 2 decades now) - IF the fans are considered the arbiters of that sort of thing, and they're most likely to frequent this Wikipedia page or make edits to it atleast; experts have said it enough times for it to warrant a mention in the introduction - there are countless mentions linked on this Will page alone to support that assertion, so I won't waste your time by adding more links onto it...

It's poorly edited now, and the assumption that Federer that some sort of "effective(ness) both as a baseliner and a volleyer, his apparent effortlessness and efficient movement on the court have made Federer highly popular among tennis fans" also reads like reductive more than deductive reasoning...
Fans might find innumerable other things to like in a tennis player, such as personal or charitable gestures more generally, made on and off the court - personally, I wouldn't care if a good player happened to be an axe-murderer in their spare time, but the idea that Federer's appeal might be limited to some shortlist of qualities that appeal to and constitute a good sort of player in a popularity contest as compiled by the one poor writer on a Wiki page with access to edit is slightly absurd...

Monterezia ( talk) 22:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Roger Federer is one of the most loved tennis players in the history of the sport.
Hi! I do not believe that it is a subjective point of view. Most tennis players, sports commentors and fans agree on that. If there is one thing that clearly differentiate Federer to the others male players, it is the fan support and "love" that he receives from the public. It is a measurable metric by the number of fans he has on the online platforms as well as by the intensity of applauses he receives when entering a tennis court. This is his legacy. Not mentioning this on the Wiki page is not mentioning the legacy of Federer, that clearly is not based only on his titles.

In this section: 2021: Australian Open withdrawal, return to tour with mixed results and French Open retirement
Delete the comma in the second sentence of the last paragraph. "Federer, was playing against the 20-year-old for the first time." Sorry sir, that's classified information ( talk) 20:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
In the "Legacy and cultural impact section", it says "...with many players and analysts considering him to be the greatest player ever", sourcing references which are from 2017 or older. However, at that time, Federer was the sole leader in GS titles and weeks spent at number 1; the first record is now equaled by both Nadal and Djokovic, while the second record is now held by Djokovic. This sentence is outdated and should therefore be removed or edited to address the issue.
The term "all-time" can be misused and it most appropriately applies to the entire era of tennis, qualified for certain reasons e.g. Gender. It is not appropriate to use it in the context of an ATP record for which a relevant term such as 'in ATP history' can be used. Antipodenz ( talk) 09:42, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Records that would be impossible to attain until key changes occur e.g. a second tournament being created to be able to get 2 titles, the ability to enter all four Major tournaments etc. need to have a date recorded that makes sense by being actually attainable.

Hi everyone, since recently some editors have been adding back the section saying Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time into the lead even though a discussion in July 2018 (titled "Experts are on record saying Federer is "the greatest of all time," NOT "one of the greatest of all time"" and is now in Archive 6) established this was subjective for the lead (and that the same applied for other articles with a legacy section e.g. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal). I don't have a huge problem with its mention in the lead personally as long as it is sourced even though I agree it is a bit subjective but at the same time, it should only be readded if a new consensus is established here first because a consensus can always change and the above mentioned dicussion in July 2018 gave a consensus that it should not be mentioned in the lead and kept in the legacy section. The reason why it was considered subjective for the lead is that many opinions (whether from experts or not) differ on whether Federer really is the greatest of all time and so it is a debatable matter, especially since Nadal or Djokovic both potentially could take that title if they overtake Federer's Slam record. So I do advise other users to please discuss the matter here first and only readd it into the lead if a new consensus is established otherwise I and other editors might have to keep reverting it's readdition, thank you.

For more than a decade, the first few paragraphs of this article have included a reference to Federer's acclaim as the greatest/one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Recently, user:Fyunck(click) removed this reference ( see here for diff). I ask that it is reinstated, in line with longstanding consensus among the editors of this article as well as common wiki practice relating to similar articles (consider Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Pelé and Ronnie O'Sullivan, for example). גיא ( talk) 16:49, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

In two different sections of this article, it is mentioned that Federer is considered the greatest of all time by many analysts. However, nothing as such is written in the wiki article for Nadal or Djokovic. Whether Federer is the greatest of all time is still an open debate and doesn't correctly and unbiasedly characterize the player. Wikipedia is and has been a very neutral media of reading facts. Opinions are controversial and unless backed by a sizeable chunk of the human population or unless not debatable anymore, should be removed. I hope this edit can be fixed. Thanks.
I suggest to remove the following statements: 1. Many players and analysts consider Federer the greatest tennis player of all time. 2. He has also been called the greatest athlete of his generation. 3. Given his achievements, many players and analysts have considered Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time.

This article currently has 69 citation needed tags(!), which were almost all added by @ Whywhenwhohow in this edit. Having this many tags means that if re-reviewed against the criteria for being selected as a "Good article", it would be given an "immediately fail" per criterion 4. Should it then have its rating downgraded, or are these tags unjustified and need to be removed? Calbow ( talk) 16:54, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi everyone, since the lead has been changed again and the notice I added has been removed by User:Hippo43, I'm just wondering if we could keep the lead as saying "He is widely considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time." without mentioning there that he is the greatest tennis player of all time? Because it seems to me that there is currently no agreement on what really is best for the lead, some are saying this should be kept in the legacy while others just keep adding it back to the lead. I also looked at the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy and it seems to say that we could to some degree mention "one of the greatest" in an article (as long as he/she is "the greatest" is not used) but it doesn't state whether it should be mentioned in the lead or main section of the article. So I'm wondering if we can just keep the mentioned sentence in the lead, remove it again or reword it from "greatest" to "best" as there should be an agreed consensus on this matter by most Wikipedia users. Many thanks. Broman178 ( talk) 09:53, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Following his new sponsorship deal with UNIQLO, Federer was urged by Public Eye and Clean Clothes Campaign to call UNIQLO to resolve disputes with workers over compensation. They were criticising UNIQLO for failing to live up to its social responsibility towards the affected women and men by refusing to negotiate with Indonesian trade unions over compensation for former factory workers.

Hello guys, my name is CharisTra and I started at 2016 editing on Wikipedia and more often on Roger Federer pages. I've done a lot of new things. I have many new ideas and formats in my mind during the years and sometimes I can't write them as it should be, in a proper way. But the point is that I give you the new formats and possibly you can make perfect. Some things that I've made had deleted during the years but most of them have stayed and I am happy for that. My goal is to make Roger Federer's pages better and better, and all tennis players' pages in general. First of all, I absolutely agree with Alexandergrant19 to put Laver Cup on the same footing as the Hopman Cup and Davis Cup. Because it's officially recognized by the ATP and wins/losses count at the players' career. I also think that we need to put the inaugural ATP Cup on the same footing with the other three, as well. I also suggest to create for the 'career statistics' page for all the players a table for Team Tennis Leagues. Because are something different from Team Tennis Competitions and Exhibitions. Are Team Tennis Leagues and must have their own category. Team Tennis Leagues: 1) World TeamTennis (WTT) 2) International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) 3) Champions Tennis League (CTL) 4) Odisha Tennis Premier League (ODPL)
IPTL, CTL and ODPL are not abolished but ceased. For now are not active tournaments but maybe in the future will continue. Also there are players that have won those leagues and would be unfair if we don't put on their career statistics page.
Also we should make it clear in National and international represantation the hierarchy and the right order. National and international represantation (Men): 1) Olympic Games 2) Davis Cup 3) Laver Cup 4) ATP Cup 6) World Team Cup 7) Hopman Cup
National and international represantation (Women): 1) Olympic Games 2) Fed Cup 3) Wightman Cup 4) Hopman Cup
I know that the Wightman Cup and World Team Cup are abolished but there are players that have won those tournaments. Also the Hopman Cup is not abolished. Is ceased for 2020, but from 2021 possibly will continue in another country.
Also we need to add some words in the main page of Roger Federer for the third edition of Laver Cup 2019 Laver Cup in the International representation category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharisTra ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

The Wikipedia editor @Fyunck keepds deleting that "Federer has won one Davis Cup title with the Switzerland Davis Cup team". Such a deletion is, I believe, not justified. In team sports, it is usually said that a player has won X tournament with his team.
In the Wikipedia page for Cristiano Ronaldo it is said that he won 4 Champions League titles. In the Wikipedia page for Michael Jordan it is said that Michael Jordan won 6 rings with the bulls.
Even on tennis, the ITF said that "Nadal aims to win his 5th Davis Cup title with Spain"
So please, stop changing that "Federer won one Davis Cup title with the Swiss Davis Cup team, unless there is some consensus to change it. James343e ( talk) 12:07, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Under the section labeled "Philanthropy and outreach" and subsection "World's most respected, admired and trusted personalities", there is a line stating:
"As millions lost their livelihoods, hundreds of thousands got sick, and tens of thousands of people across the world died because of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, Federer complained that he felt “devastated” upon learning that The Champions, Wimbledon, had been canceled. “I can't wait to go back next year,” he said.[282]"
This is COMPLETELY irrelevant in regards to the section and subsection, and is extremely misleading. Instead of stating a fact about the above title, it denigrates the individual and is an assassination of character written by assumedly a tennis troll. Please remove this line.

I'm pretty sure a consensus has been established by the number of times Federer won a fan-favourite (it's going on 2 decades now) - IF the fans are considered the arbiters of that sort of thing, and they're most likely to frequent this Wikipedia page or make edits to it atleast; experts have said it enough times for it to warrant a mention in the introduction - there are countless mentions linked on this Will page alone to support that assertion, so I won't waste your time by adding more links onto it...

It's poorly edited now, and the assumption that Federer that some sort of "effective(ness) both as a baseliner and a volleyer, his apparent effortlessness and efficient movement on the court have made Federer highly popular among tennis fans" also reads like reductive more than deductive reasoning...
Fans might find innumerable other things to like in a tennis player, such as personal or charitable gestures more generally, made on and off the court - personally, I wouldn't care if a good player happened to be an axe-murderer in their spare time, but the idea that Federer's appeal might be limited to some shortlist of qualities that appeal to and constitute a good sort of player in a popularity contest as compiled by the one poor writer on a Wiki page with access to edit is slightly absurd...

Monterezia ( talk) 22:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Roger Federer is one of the most loved tennis players in the history of the sport.
Hi! I do not believe that it is a subjective point of view. Most tennis players, sports commentors and fans agree on that. If there is one thing that clearly differentiate Federer to the others male players, it is the fan support and "love" that he receives from the public. It is a measurable metric by the number of fans he has on the online platforms as well as by the intensity of applauses he receives when entering a tennis court. This is his legacy. Not mentioning this on the Wiki page is not mentioning the legacy of Federer, that clearly is not based only on his titles.

In this section: 2021: Australian Open withdrawal, return to tour with mixed results and French Open retirement
Delete the comma in the second sentence of the last paragraph. "Federer, was playing against the 20-year-old for the first time." Sorry sir, that's classified information ( talk) 20:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
In the "Legacy and cultural impact section", it says "...with many players and analysts considering him to be the greatest player ever", sourcing references which are from 2017 or older. However, at that time, Federer was the sole leader in GS titles and weeks spent at number 1; the first record is now equaled by both Nadal and Djokovic, while the second record is now held by Djokovic. This sentence is outdated and should therefore be removed or edited to address the issue.
The term "all-time" can be misused and it most appropriately applies to the entire era of tennis, qualified for certain reasons e.g. Gender. It is not appropriate to use it in the context of an ATP record for which a relevant term such as 'in ATP history' can be used. Antipodenz ( talk) 09:42, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Records that would be impossible to attain until key changes occur e.g. a second tournament being created to be able to get 2 titles, the ability to enter all four Major tournaments etc. need to have a date recorded that makes sense by being actually attainable.
