It was a great honor for the Swiss ace to have his face on the trams in his hometown of Basel. Earlier this year, Federer became the official ambassador of Swiss tourism. He has taken up the role with keen interest and recently appeared in an interesting advertisement for Swiss tourism.

Coming on to tennis, Federer ended his season after the Wimbledon loss. He released a statement in which he revealed that he would be missing tennis for a while after being required to undergo third knee surgery in 12 months.
