Roger Federer…

….has proved beyond any doubt that he is the greatest tennis player of all time. This afternoon, he won a record eighth Wimbledon men’s singles titles. Federer brought sublime levels of skill and grace to a sport that for too long had been increasingly dependent on big serves and brute force. He is of course, Swiss so it would be good to honour him with a track from a great Swiss singer or band. If only there were any. Instead, we can celebrate with a song that mentions Switzerland in the first line. And it’s a genuinely astonishing vocal performance because Frank Ifield was to yodelling what Roger Federer is to tennis.
