Federer is also the official ambassador for Swiss tourism. He is immensely popular in his home country and has been given numerous awards and recognitions by Switzerland. The 20-time Grand Slam champ certainly deserves it as he has carried Switzerland’s name with honor throughout the world.
Coming to tennis, Roger has not competed since the Wimbledon Championships exit. As a tennis fan, one hopes to see the man who has created such historic moments back on the tennis courts again competing for the biggest honors in the game. We wish him a speedy recovery.
