A second chance

Federer has proved he's down but not out. He may have slid down the rankings and lost his no.1 position to Rafa Nadal but he's not withdrawing without a fight.

Age might be catching up with him and the latest batch of tennis superstars snapping at his heels, but he's not throwing the towel down yet. Federer continues to play at the top rungs of the game.

His physical condition hasn't worn out with time. Nadia Comaneci produced her best results when she was in the peak of her form. So did other greats like Bjorn Borg, Boris Becker, Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova.

These names shine brilliantly in the sportstars' Hall of Fame. They came, performed and conquered. Their achievements have created records which the coming multitudes strive to emulate. The records they have set are lodestars in the shining firmament of international sports.
