  • [L-R] Louis van Gaal, Roger Federer, and Mohammad Wasim.

    It’s hard to believe that Roger Federer turns 34 today considering he is currently the world No2 and was in the Wimbledon final just a few weeks ago.

    The Swiss tennis ace is a living legend and has shattered almost every conceivable record in the sport since he turned pro back in 1998.

    His incredible technique, fluid style and pure artistry have made him arguably the greatest of all time. Federer owns the most grand slam singles titles ever won by a man, leading the all-time list with 17 – three ahead of second-placed Pete Sampras.

    He has held the world No1 ranking for a record 302 weeks in total and a record 237 consecutive weeks, also a mark previously belonging to Sampras. His eight Wimbledon crowns tie him with Sampras at the top of the men’s leader board at SW19.

    Mohammad Wasim (38): Ex-Pakistani cricketer, now plays for Netherlands. Played 18 Tests, 25 ODIs for Pakistan (38).

    Louis van Gaal (64): Dutch football manager who is the current manager of Manchester United. He was formerly manager of Ajax, Barcelona, AZ, Bayern Munich, and the Netherlands national team.
