What Did Roger Federer Say About His GQ Award?

Roger Federer was recently awarded as the GQ Most Stylish Man of the Decade award. He has also been awarded the GQ award’s yearly counterpart in the past. Federer has been targeted by trolls for winning the award just because of his long list of fans who religiously vote for him and not because he has an extraordinary fashion sense.

Interestingly, Roger Federer concedes to this fact in the presser. He reveals that his fans are to be thanked for him winning the GQ award. Federer also talked about his friend Sascha and how he also has a chance at winning the award in the future. However, Roger reaffirmed that he’ll always be the man to claim the decade award first!

After some light-hearted banter, Roger Federer was also seen giving some fashion tips. The Swiss star revealed that he does not believe in thinking too much about what he wears. Instead, he likes to mix things up and to not keep his clothing ordinary. He focuses on being original in his dressing sense and not copy anyone.

However, the Swiss maestro was humble enough to acknowledge in the end that whatever he wears is largely futile as it’s online voting and anything can happen!
