Wimbledon 2012 Final: 5 Things You Didn't Know About Roger Federer

1. He is the Second Most Trusted And Respected Person in the World

Thanks largely to all the humanitarian and charity work that Federer amassed down the years, in 2011, when asked who the most respected and trusted people in history were, a global study of more than 50,000 people in 25 countries showed the second most respected and trusted person in history was none other than the Fed Express. He beat off the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Bono, Ratan Tata and none other than Queen Elizabeth II with 72.1% of the overall vote. The winner, you might ask? Nelson Mandela. Only Nelson Mandela is more trusted and respected than Federer. So, with the vast majority of the nation getting behind Andy Murray tomorrow, this reporter is firmly behind Roger Federer - the second nicest man who ever lived.
