 Roger Federer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/] has some good news for his Colombian fans. Federer is returning to Colombia in March 2020 to complete some unfinished business. He will again be touring Colombia as he was unable to partake in the scheduled exhibition match there during his South American tour due to last-minute cancellation. WHY WAS FEDERER’S MATCH IN COLOMBIA CANCELLED? Colombia was in a state of deep political turmoil when Federer last toured. The riots led to a curfew which made the organisation of the tournament impossible. Thousands of Colombian fans were left disappointed as they missed out on the opportunity to catch their favourite tennis star live in action. The cancellation of the match had a deep emotional impact on Federer. He was seen crying in his locker room and he recently revealed in his documentary that he was broken. It was obvious that Roger Federer would certainly do something for his fans. Know More – Roger Federer Exhibition Match in Colombia Cancelled Amid Security Concerns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/roger-federer-exhibition-match-in-colombia-cancelled-amid-security-concerns/] [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Federer_640-1024x576.jpg] WHAT DO WE KNOW TILL NOW ABOUT THE PROPOSED TOUR? Federer’s Colombia tour will take place in March 2020 and will clash with the Miami Open. Thus, Roger will not be defending the title that he won last year. The game will be played on March 24 next year. While Alexander Zverev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-zverev/] was the one who was supposed to face Federer the last time, it is highly unlikely that he will be Federer’s sparring partner this time around. Zverev is likely to be in Florida to compete at the Miami Open. Watch – Alexander Zverev Consoles Roger Federer As He Breaks Down In Tears [https://www.essentiallysports.com/watch-alexander-zverev-consoles-roger-federer-as-he-breaks-down-in-tears/] Thus, it seems like Federer will have to find a different dancing partner in Colombia. Fans will not have to pay extra for this event. The tickets they bought for the cancelled event will be valid. Sports events are a sweet release for countries that have been ravaged by political and economic turmoil. They bring smiles to the faces of oppressed people who are already going through a lot in their daily lives. Roger Federer’s initiative proves again that the Swiss Superman is not just a great athlete, but a good human being as well. 

Roger Federer has announced that he will be touring Columbia in March 2020 to
compensate for the previously cancelled exhibition match.

Federer had his first major accomplishment in 1998 and won the singles and doubles junior Wimbledon championships. By the end of the year, he had attained rank 1 in the ITF and made his ATP debut in the same year.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer’s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Roger Federer met Miroslava Vavrincova, referred to as Mirka, a former Women's Tennis Association player when they were both representing Switzerland in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. They got married in 2009. She retired from the tour in 2002 due to a foot injury and took up the role of Federer's tour manager.

[caption id="attachment_1942161" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1942161 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1487034095.jpg" alt="Roger Federer, Mirka Federer" width="1920" height="1346" /> NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 01: (L-R) Roger Federer and Mirka Federer attend The 2023 Met Gala Celebrating "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 01, 2023 in New York City.

On April 11, 2009, they tied the knot at the Wenkenhof Villa in Riehen, close to Basel, in the presence of a select number of dear friends and family. She gave birth to identical twin girls (Myla and Charlene) in 2009. 2014 saw the birth of a second set of twins, this time fraternal brothers (Lenny and Leo).

Interestingly, Federer's kids also 'love' tennis. <a href="https://people.com/roger-federer-says-he-tries-to-make-the-time-to-coach-all-four-of-his-kids-7968318" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federer said</a>, <em>"All four kids love it." </em>He then continued, <em>"The girls didn't love it in the beginning but as they got better, they're enjoying it and playing points now." </em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
The 'Swiss Maestro' has often been on the top 10 of the <em>Forbes</em> list of the world's highest-paid athletes, and is on the ninth spot, with total earnings of $130 million on the court. Additionally, Federer receives $95 million from endorsements. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Federer's net worth is around $550 million. Interestingly, this made him the second among the top richest tennis stars as of 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer’s Career</b></h2>
The Mighty Federer played his first ATP tournament in 1998 in Switzerland. He entered the top 100 in 1999. Federer's first ATP tour win came in 2001 when he won the Milan Indoor Tournament against Julien Boutter. He also reached the quarterfinal of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/french-open/">French Open</a> that year and made his way into the top 15. In 2002, Federer won his first Masters, The Hamburg Masters, which was played on clay. This achievement put him in the top 10.

In 2003, Federer shocked the world by winning Wimbledon for the first time in his career, at the age of 21. The Swiss finished the year ranked 2 after winning the year-end championships. Since then, he earned the nickname The Mighty Federer as he would go on to impose blinding dominance in ATP events.

[caption id="attachment_1266864" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1266864 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1429297214.jpg" alt="Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal" width="1920" height="1280" /> LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 23: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal of Team Europe interact during the doubles match between Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe of Team World and Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal of Team Europe during Day One of the Laver Cup at The O2 Arena on September 23, 2022 in London, England. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images for Laver Cup)[/caption]

His 2004 season saw him win three Grand Slam titles, as well as becoming the number 1 ranked player for the first time. He ended the year by winning the year-end championships for a second time. Additionally, Federer would play against his greatest rival, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal">Rafael Nadal</a>. Nadal won their first match and set the tone for the 'Fedal' rivalry.

Since then, Nadal and Federer traded Grand Slam titles until <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> stepped onto the scene. His entry would see the formation of the Big 3 of the Open Era.

Owing to the knee injury Federer faced after <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/wimbledon-championships/">Wimbledon</a> 2021 and the subsequent surgery, he had to be away from the sport for a significant amount of time. Also, the Swiss star mentioned that he went under the knife to lead a normal life with his family post-retirement. He went on to miss the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/">Australian Open</a> 2022.

This would be the same case for the rest of the Swiss Maestro's career as he was unable to play any Grand Slams. His final match and 1750th match was in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/laver-cup/">Laver Cup</a>. He played alongside his long-time rival Rafael Nadal against Americans Jack Sock and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/frances-tiafoe/">Frances Tiafoe</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer’s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Rolex is one of Roger Federer's oldest sponsors. The watch company struck a deal with Federer worth approximately $15 million. He also has tie-ups with major companies such as the Japanese clothing company Uniqlo, and Swiss companies like Credit Suisse, Lindt, and Sunrise Communications.

Federer's deal with Uniqlo is reportedly worth almost $300 million according to ESPN and the Italian tennis journalist Vincenzo Martucci from Sports Senators. He is also sponsored by the sports manufacturing company Wilson and the luxury and sports car brand- Mercedes-Benz. He also has deals with Louis Vuitton and Switzerland Tourism.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer’s Shoe Collaboration With Swiss Brand ON</b></h2>
Roger Federer stopped being sponsored by Nike in 2019. Uniqlo approached the former number 1 to sponsor him for clothes. However, he still wore Nike shoes without being sponsored.
