20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer recently won the GQ Most Stylish Man of the Decade award. The Swiss legend has been the recipient of the award on a yearly basis as well in the past. However, Federer showed his humble and comic side after winning the award by claiming that it is his vast legion of supporters across the world who religiously voted for him that has made him bag this honour rather than his fashion sense, which is not 'extraordinary'.

He suggested that he acquired this trait from his father.
