David Foster Wallace on Roger Federer. DFW is always a treat, full of endnotes, footnotes and digressions. He played competitive tennis (badly) as a junior, and wrote a great essay on it in A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, called "Tennis Player Michael Joyce's Professional Artistry as a Paradigm for Certain Stuff about Choice, Freedom, Discipline, Joy, Grotesquerie, and Human Completeness."
You can read more about that essay here.
