I know it's slightly off topic but I am asking it anyway.
We usually encounter certain people in certain fields that are just so good that its always an uphill battle for others who work in the same field during their era. A prime example is Roger Federer in tennis. I was recently watching a video of his and it seemed like the whole stadium was by his side rooting against his opponent. How do the other players cope with this situation. Audience are fickle and they don't care if its mean to the other player. It's not just in that field. It could be in any field. Most people know that during their era he will be the most memorable player. But they still have to keep playing. How does players cope with it knowing that the best they could reach is the 2nd most memorable player of that era ?
