Swiss maestro Roger Federer is currently bidding for a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title at Wimbledon Championships 2021. Besides that, he also supported home team Switzerland in the ongoing UEFA Euro 2020 from the beginning of the tournament. Since they lost to Spain in the quarterfinals now, the Basel-born congratulated them on their inspiring run.

Before the Euros began, Federer strongly believed that the trophy is coming home this year. Therefore, losing in on penalties in a drama-filled match must have been heartbreaking for all of Switzerland. Nevertheless, the former World No.1 tennis professional did not fail to appreciate their effort.

Earlier, during a practise session in Wimbledon, Federer made a prophecy in front of old-rival Andy Murray about Switzerland winning the EURO 2020. In return, the British professional had a fine laugh.

When it comes to supporting the country at any particular event, none does it better than Federer. The 103 ATP titles owner shared motivational words with the team from before the tournament till the end.

Now, in a pun-filled message with the name of their star goalkeeper Yann Sommer, the 39-year-old put the World Cup in sight. He wrote, “Danke (Thank you). It’s been an amazing Sommer guys, thank you, great effort, can’t wait for the World Cup. Great playing Spain and good luck. Cheer up guys. It has been a dream with you.” (Translated via Google Translate).
