Federer was born 8 August 1981 in Binningen, near Basel, to Swiss national Robert Federer and South Africa-born Lynette Du
Rand. He grew up in suburban Munchestein, near Basel, close to the French and German borders. Federer speaks Swiss German with his family. He also speaks German, French and English fluently, and conducts press conferences in all three. He was raised Catholic and met Pope Benedict XVI while playing the 2006 Internazionali BNL d'Italia tournament in Rome. In addition to tennis, he also played football (soccer) as a boy and considered becoming a professional footballer before deciding to pursue a tennis career.
Federer is married to former Women's Tennis Association player Miroslava "Mirka" Vavrinec. They met while competing for Switzerland in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Federer started playing tennis at the age of six. He began participating in group lessons aged nine and began weekly private coaching the following year. He played football until the age of twelve when he decided to focus solely on tennis. At fourteen, he became the national champion of all groups in Switzerland and was chosen to train at the Swiss National Tennis Center in Ecublens. He joined the ITF junior tennis circuit in July 1996. In 1998, his final year as a junior, Federer won the junior Wimbledon title and the prestigious year-ending Orange Bowl. He was recognized as the ITF World Junior Tennis champion of the year.
Those of us who witnessed the championship match at the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon, also watched the greatest tennis player of all time win his 15th Grand Slam singles title. To American Andy Roddick, we tip off our hats. He gave everything of himself, gaining tremendous respect from fans around the world. He was cheered and applauded generously by the Wimbledon crowd and most tennis fans around the planet. For the greatest tennis player of all time, it was the zenith of his profession, the ultimate moment: Federer had won 15 Grand Slams in four different surfaces.
In the lead-by-example tradition of tennis, he gave props to Pete Sampras, the player he admired since he was very young, and whose record he broke today as Federer awaits the birth of his first son by his wife Mirka.
For all of us who have played the game and appreciate the talent required to achieved greatness in this tough sport, let the crowning of Federer be a part of our lifetime, a part of history in sports that we were privileged to witness.

Roger Federer is doing others activities like help to others persons. For this reason he has a Foundation and have a phrase “I AM TOMORROW’S FUTURE”. This most confident statement by Nolonwabo B
atini, a girl aged fifteen attending the Ndzondelelo High School in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, is the slogan of the Roger Federer Foundation (RFF). The RFF supports education, sports and leisure activities in places with little or no funding at all. The idea is to permit a maximum of children to make the slogan become reality in their lives and help them actively shape their future.
Roger say: In sports we learn how to fight: for victory, for the entire team, in order to reach a goal. In many countries of the world a majority of people, despite their efforts, does not have access to education or sports. This is precisely the point where the Roger Federer Foundation (RFF) wants to intervene; the Foundation is aimed at developing individual skills, searching for innovative methods of resolution and acting goal-oriented in order to improve the children’s situation sustainably. The RFF focuses on sharing the responsibility of problem-solving with the local community (in terms of content, organisation and finance). The chi
ldren, their families and the entire community must learn to participate in the analysis of needs, the development of innovative solutions as well as the proposal and implementation of measures in order to take over and maintain individual responsibility.
