For those who don???t follow tennis, it???s easy to dismiss Roger Federer as a big-nosed Swiss freak. He???s too good. He wins nearly every tournament with such ease that he makes every match seem like a preamble to his acceptance speech.
Rooting for Federer is like rooting for the sun to come up, but in that laconic Swiss, Anna Wintour has found her soulmate. We don???t doubt that Federer will make it to the finals of the US Open anymore than we doubt that every month Vogue will come out weighing several pounds.
A true perfectionist must feel isolated: few share their commitment to excellence, and most judge their dedication as obsessive. But Federer is as devoted as Wintour is to maintaining his reputation as the best. In Federer, Wintour has found someone who can truly understand her.
Federer has had the same girlfriend since 2000, a fellow Swiss whose looks do not reflect his current ATP ranking. But for a woman as focused as Wintour, this is a small matter.
Complain that Vogue is all advertisements or that Federer is boring. But you don???t have an 87 percent ad ratio or 11 Grand Slams by accident. Anna Wintour may be crazy and Roger Federer may be predictable, but the two are made for each other.
No. 1

Anna Wintour isn’t the only one who loves Roger Federer. He’s the suave James Bond of tennis! He looks as dashing as any model in his beautiful suits, and his hair … OMG ! His girlfriend isn’t Swiss by the way, she’s Czecholovakian.
In a world of mediocrity Federer is a rare gift and women of taste love him!
