Roger Federer and Lewis Hamilton How similar and impactful were they in their respective sports
By Charanjot Singh Modified 17 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Roger Federer (left) and Lewis Hamilton (right) are more similar than you think Lewis Hamilton and Roger Federer are two icons of their respective sports. Two legends, who have been the face of their sport for more than a decade, and whose names have become synonymous with the sport in which they participate. Roger Federer began his professional career as a 17-year-old Swiss in 1998. His ascension to the top took time as he matured and improved. By 2003, however, he was on top of the lawn tennis world. He'd won Wimbledon, Pete Sampras was on the decline, and there were a slew of contenders for his place. Federer became the #1 seed in tennis by 2004, and he has not looked back since, accumulating one award after another. Roger Federer@rogerfederer675622112373 https://t.co/YxtVWrlXIF Lewis Hamilton's rise was more meteoric but somewhat similar. He made his F1 debut in 2007. Michael Schumacher, the king of F1 at the time, had retired. The throne was still up for grabs, and Hamilton defeated Fernando Alonso, who had been provisionally seated on it in his rookie season. In 2014, he took control and since then has taken over the sport of F1 like no other driver before him.Lewis Hamilton and Roger Federer How are they similar
Early in their careers their talent was given more credit than hard work
By 2004, Roger Federer had established himself as the dominant figure in tennis. Every match he played was pure dominance from start to finish. Most of the wins were in straight sets as Federer would rarely drop his serve, let alone the set. During this time, Federer's Davis Cup loss to Lleyton Hewitt in a tough five-set match in 2003 became fodder for speculation after the Australian came back from a two-set deficit to defeat the Swiss player.
