According to a recent poll by The Reputation Institute, Roger Federer has the second-best worldwide reputation of any public figure. Former South African president Nelson Mandela has first place.

The survey analysed the public's respect, admiration and trust in 54 public figures. 50,000 people from 25 countries polled in the survey and Federer came in second, ahead of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Richard Branson, and Kim-Jong Il. He polled much higher than the four other athletes included in the poll -- Derek Jeter (No. 16), LeBron James (No. 23), David Beckham (No. 24) and Tiger Woods (No. 47).

Federer's reputation is also considerably higher than that of Oprah Winfrey (No. 7), Queen Elizabeth II (No. 10), Barack Obama (No. 14) and Pope Benedict XVI (No. 26).
