There was a time—and not so long ago—when Roger Federer seemed to be hewn from a different substance than mere mortals. His body seemed untouched by stress, injury, and fatigue. His resolve seemed impervious to challenge, self-doubt, or pain. His position as king of the castle, fending off all assaults, seemed impenetrable. Records that had once seemed insurmountable were picked like apples...
