This is an indication of the stress which his heavily spun shots put on his strings, as this is still a fairly thick gauge, even though it only needs to last for a couple of hours. Federer uses a 16 gauge main string but in his case this is natural gut, which offers good feel and limited durability and a 16L gauge polyester cross string.
Interestingly, despite his completely different playing style, Djokovic uses the same type and gauge of strings as Federer. Naomi Osaka uses a 16L polyester string for both mains and crosses. Karolina Pliskova uses a 16 gauge natural gut cross string and a 17 gauge polyester cross string. The slightly finer cross string used by Pliskova may reflect the fact that she puts less stress on the strings by applying little spin.
A beginner is unlikely to benefit greatly from the qualities of finer or more expensive string, so it would normally be recommended that they begin by using a cheap polyester string of medium thickness- perhaps a 16 gauge. This will be reasonably durable, saving them the expense of frequent restrings, and will meet all of their playing requirements.
As they become more advanced, they can try out finer, or more expensive strings. Thinner strings offer great playability in terms of feel and spin potential. Unless you are a professional, for whom frequent restrings are part of the job, you will probably need to compromise and use a medium or thick string for durability. The only way to determine the best string gauge for you is to try a few out. I got a chance to play junior and professional tournaments across the world, and in I began playing as the 1 player for Pepperdine University, a great division 1 school.

Loving the 18 gauge. The whole reason you use a soft poly in the first place is for the comfort. And that's why we love soft strings, so we can keep playing forever. Endless sessions are what we live for. Sure taking down a few ice-colds at the end of the session will help you not feel anything, but an injury is a buzz kill.
But the the thinner 18 gauge string makes it even better, even softer. It's smaller cross section makes it easier to stretch and conform to the ball. Felt like a summer session. Sure longevity will be the issue with this string. It's thinner and will wear out faster - that's life. We've got a solid 3 weeks in and things are staying put and not moving around too much. But with a league match tomorrow I'm playing it safe and doing a restring right after this post. After almost ten years of playing with a full bed of 17g poly Gosen Polylon at 55lbs, I recently began to experience tennis elbow for the first time in my life.
So I experimented with 16G syn gut mains at 47lbs and 17G poly crosses at 44lbs. Great decision!! My arm got a bit better so I went back to poly in the mains 18g this time and 17 syn gut crosses.
Best hybrid ever, and I am not going back.
