A toast to the Man who changed the history of the Tennis Court and made an impact on his community, as we bid farewell to the King of Tennis, we look back to some of the most memorable things Roger Federer has done outside the court.
Roger Federer is no stranger to the Tennis Court. The Swiss star has played 1500 matches over four years and won a total of 20 Grand Slam titles, 103 ATP titles and was the World’s No.1 player. Federer, without a doubt, is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
Much has been said about Roger Federer’s game. From his flawless technique to his style on and off the court, it is his combination of grace, fluidity and effortlessness which makes him incomparable to his competitors. Apart from finessing his tennis skills, Federer is also a philanthropist who is constantly working towards bringing change in society. Beyond the court, this humanitarian is known for his generosity, sincerity and respect. Federer is not just one of the greatest athletes of all time, but he considers himself placed in a seat with responsibilities, and does his part to fulfil those responsibilities.
“It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice.” – Roger Federer

“I love empowerment, just in general. Making somebody a stronger person and then that person being able to do it on their own is a wonderful thing. A little push can really do wonders and we’re going to keep doing that for years to come.” – Roger Federer
