He wrote one of my favorite essays ever, “Federer as a Religious Experience.”

"Roger Federer as Religious Experience" is my favorite David Foster Wallace article because it's so descriptive. To research, he printed the eBay descriptions of various tennis racquets to create these ultra-vivid descriptions. Great writing comes from effort as much as talent.
