But how many of us know that he was a ball boy at one point? Oh don't be surprised, he was. This happened in 1993 in Basel.

Who can blame him? The man is a legend now, and ball boys are lucky to see him from an arm's length.
The roles may have changed, but as Federer admits, the ball boy is still there inside him.
