About Roger Federer
Roger Federer is a Swiss former professional tennis player.
He was born on August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland.
As of 2024, Roger Federer is 43 years old and his zodiac sign is Leo.
He was ranked world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks, and finished as the year-end No. 1 five times.
He won 103 ATP singles titles, the second most of all time, including 20 Grand Slam singles titles, a record eight men’s singles Wimbledon titles, an Open Era record-tying five men’s singles US Open titles, and a record-tying six year-end championships.
Federer played during an era where he dominated men’s tennis along with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic as the Big Three, collectively considered by some to be the three most successful male tennis players of all time.
Federer’s 20 Grand Slam singles titles also put him at third most of all time, only behind Djokovic with 21 and record holder Nadal with 22, as of the end of 2022 season when Federer retired.
A Wimbledon junior champion in 1998 and former ball boy, Federer won his first major singles title at Wimbledon in 2003 at age 21.
Like all male Swiss citizens, Federer was subject to compulsory military service in the Swiss Armed Forces.
However, in 2003 he was ruled “unsuitable” and was subsequently not required to fulfill his military obligation.
Instead, he served in the civil protection force and was required to pay 3% of his taxable income as an alternative.
He grew up supporting FC Basel and the Swiss national football team.
He also credits his hand-eye coordination to the wide range of sports he played as a child, including badminton and basketball.

Career Of Roger Federer
Between 2003 and 2009 Federer played in 21 out of 28 major singles finals.
He won 3 of the 4 majors and the ATP Finals in 2004, 2006, and 2007 as well as 5 consecutive titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open.
He completed the career Grand Slam at the 2009 French Open after 3 consecutive runner-up finishes to Nadal, his main rival until 2010.
At age 27, he surpassed Pete Sampras’ record of 14 major men’s singles titles at Wimbledon in 2009.
Although Federer remained in the Top 3 during most of the early 2010s, the success of Djokovic and Nadal ended his dominance over grass and hard courts, winning two majors between 2010 and 2016.
During this period of time, he and Stan Wawrinka led the Switzerland Davis Cup team to their first title in 2014, following their Olympic doubles gold victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Federer also won a silver medal in singles at the 2012 London Olympics, where he finished runner-up to Andy Murray.
After a half-year hiatus in late 2016 to recover from knee surgery, Federer made a stellar return to tennis, winning three more majors over the next two years, including the 2017 Australian Open over Nadal and an eighth singles title at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.
At the 2018 Australian Open, Federer became the first man to win 20 major singles titles and shortly the oldest ATP world No. 1 at age 36. In September 2022, he retired from professional tennis following the Laver Cup.
A versatile all-court player, Federer’s perceived effortlessness has made him highly popular among tennis fans. Originally lacking self-control as a junior, he transformed his on-court demeanor to become well-liked for his general graciousness, winning the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award 13 times.
He has won the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award a record five times. Outside of competing, he played an instrumental role in the creation of the Laver Cup team competition.
He is also an active philanthropist.
He established the Roger Federer Foundation, which targets impoverished children in southern Africa, and has raised funds in part through the Match for Africa exhibition series.
He is routinely one of the top ten highest-paid athletes in any sport and ranked first among all athletes with $100 million in endorsement income in 2020.
In May 2020, Federer became the first tennis player to reach the top of Forbes‘s list of highest-paid athletes in the world.
He is endorsed by Japanese clothing company Uniqlo and Swiss companies Nationale Suisse, Credit Suisse, On, Rolex, Lindt, Sunrise, and Jura Elektroapparate.
In 2010, his endorsement by Mercedes-Benz China was extended into a global partnership deal.
His other sponsors include Gillette, Wilson, Barilla, and Moët & Chandon.
Previously, he was an ambassador for Nike, NetJets, Emmi AG, and Maurice Lacroix.

Social Works
In 2003, he established the Roger Federer Foundation to help disadvantaged children and to promote their access to education and sport.
Since May 2004, citing his close ties with South Africa (his mother is South African) he has been supporting the South Africa-Swiss charity IMBEWU, which helps children better connect to sports as well as social and health awareness. In 2005, he visited South Africa to meet children who had benefited from his support.
Also in 2005, he auctioned his racquet from his US Open championship to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina.
At the 2005 Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, Federer arranged an exhibition with several top players from the ATP and WTA tour called Rally for Relief, whose proceeds went to the victims of the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
In December 2006, he visited Tamil Nadu, one of the areas in India most affected by the tsunami.
He was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador by UNICEF in April 2006 and has appeared in UNICEF public messages to raise public awareness of AIDS.
In response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Federer arranged a collaboration with fellow top tennis players for a special charity event during the 2010 Australian Open called ‘Hit for Haiti’, whose proceeds went to Haiti earthquake victims.
He participated in a follow-up charity exhibition during the 2010 Indian Wells Masters, which raised $1 million.
The Nadal vs. Federer “Match for Africa” in 2010 in Zürich and Madrid raised more than $4 million for the Roger Federer Foundation and Fundación Rafa Nadal.
In January 2011, Federer took part in Rally for Relief, an exhibition to raise money for the victims of the Queensland floods.
In 2014, the “Match for Africa 2” between Federer and Stan Wawrinka, again in Zurich, raised £850,000 for education projects in Southern Africa.
