Roger Federer is described as a Tennis Die Hard in the Afrikaans Newspaper “Die Burger” (in Afrikaans) a  Tennis-Kanniedood . 80 Singles Titles (Open Era only Connors 109 & Lendl 94 have won more); He played in 60 Grand Slam Tournaments (only Agassi played in more 61); reached the Quarter-Final in 36 consecutive Grand Slams (between Wimbledon 2004 till the French Open 2013) only Connors comes close with 27; reached the Semi-Final in 23 consecutive Grand Slams ( between Wimbledon 2004 till the Australian Open 2010) the previous record was 10 held by Lendl and of course has won an unprecedented 17 Grand Slams (behind him is Sampras and Nadal with 14).

Perhaps it denotes a huge shift in thinking for Van Gaal who has, in the past, found much success adopting the infamously Dutch way of playing, 4-3-3.
