Beijing 2008. Roger Federer, tennis © Jérôme Prévost/L'Équipe 11 August 2008. Until then, Roger Federer had done little at the Olympic Games other than carry the Swiss flag at the opening ceremony. If he beats Russia's Tsunov here, he will fall to the American bomber James Blake in the quarters. Even when the Olympic final was played four years later in his own backyard at Wimbledon, Federer lost to Britain's Andy Murray. There is still a small hole in tennis' greatest record of achievement: Olympic gold in the men's singles. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 80 X 120 cm
