Many sports analysts, tennis critics, and former and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time.

While playing he often wears a bandana and sunglasses. The sunglasses have been medically prescribed for Clement because of severe eye problems he has encountered through his life, which had nearly left him blind as a child. At only 13 months old he was diagnosed with unilateral coloboma, meaning the condition only affects one eye, at that time Clément was only given a 40/60 % chance of having healthy eyesight for the rest of his life^{[citation needed]}, throughout his tennis career Clément has worn sunglasses to protect his eyes.
