"It's useful for me because I often am asked about events in his career and I don’t always know for sure without checking. Now, I always know where I can look them up."
- Lynette Federer on "The Roger Federer Story, Quest for Perfection" to Tages-Anzeiger

"That's a good title."
- John McEnroe on Quest for Perfection on The Tennis Channel

"René Stauffer, as an expert of Federer's career, has assiduously compiled all the details and facts and created a complete documentation. He also abundantly slips in his rich tennis knowledge – not only about the protagonist of the book."
- Neue Zurcher Zeitung newspaper (Zurich)

"All results, all important events, all incisive quotes of and about Federer are collected. His way from a highly-talented, but boisterous teenager to an elegant tennis sovereign is shown chronologically. Sometimes anecdotal, sometimes analytical, always factual."
- Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper (Munich)

"The reader learns a lot of new details about the world star, especially about his junior years and his beginnings as a pro."
- SonntagsZeitung newspaper (Zurich)

"A biography that qualifies as a Federer encyclopedia and recounts of thrilling duels, great victories and painful defeats. A must for every tennis fan."
- Schweizer Familie magazine (Zurich)

"A biography of one of the greatest-ever players and one who's dominating his sport in a way that few ever do. The perceived wisdom is that tennis books do not sell, but if one deserves to buck the trend, maybe this is it."
- The Bookseller (United Kingdom)

“It's a virtual encyclopedia of Federer's career. There's material in there I've not seen anywhere else. Fantastic.” – Charlie Bricker, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

“Excellent” – Toronto Globe and Mail

“It’s accessible and sketches out his career development very logically. At the same time, it throws in enough about his personality and the rest of his life to flesh out the tale without turning it into it a flabby puff-piece.” – Tennis.com

“An intimate and insightful portrait.” – The Daily Telegraph (U.K.)

“It could have easily been called the Encyclopedia Federer.” – Tennisreporters.net

“I have the book and even though I wanted more "dark secrets" about his personal life, I did learn some new thing about Roger (and that's hard for me because I basically know all there is to know anyway!) lol!

The book is great for Federer fans and for tennis fans in general. I read it in one day.”

Sandy Hawkins, Federer fan, on www.tennis.com
