Men's Tennis: 5 lesser-known but unique records of Roger Federer

#2 Most BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year Awards

Roger Federer has won the BBC Overseas Personality of the Year Award 4 times - 1 more than Muhammad Ali and Usain Bolt

The BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year is one of the most prestigious awards given to athletes, considering achievements in a calendar year. What makes this award more cherished is that it is given to the athlete who is judged to have outshone all other athletes not just in his/her sport but across all sport categories.

Since first introduced in 1960, some all-time great names like Garfield Sobers, Brian Lara, Muhammad Ali, Eusebio, Rod Laver, Usain Bolt, Jack Nicklaus, Martina Navratilova, Tiger Woods, and Cristiano Ronaldo have featured on the list. But what makes Federer stand out is that he has won this award more than any of these illustrious names. Federer has won the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year on 4 different occasions in 2004, 2006, 2007 and most recently in 2017.
