Roger Federer

Roger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who in 2004 became the 23rd World No. 1 in tennis. He is currently the No. 1 player in the world (and defending this title since February 2004) and (as of 9 June 2006) is working on the second-longest consecutive stay in the Men's World No. 1 ranking. Only Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors surpass him in this record.

In 2004, Federer became the first man since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three out of four Grand Slam events in the same year. He is widely regarded as the dominant player of his era and is already considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.

Biography
Federer was born August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland in the small city of Binningen, to Robert Federer and Lynette Federer. He grew up 10 minutes from Basel proper, in suburban Münchenstein.

His parents met while his father was on a business trip to South Africa for a Basel-based chemical company for which they both worked. Lynette was born and raised in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa. Lynette no longer works at the company and is now a manager at the Roger Federer Foundation. Robert is still with the Ciba Specialty Chemicals, in sales.

Roger has an elder sister, Diana, who is a nurse, and lives in the Basel area. He speaks three languages (German, French and English) fluently and conducts press conferences in all of them.

Federer spends his off-court time playing card games, table tennis, other sports and sitting on the beach. He currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland, and is dating former WTA player and fellow Swiss Miroslava Vavrinec (Mirka), who retired from the game in 2002 after a foot injury; the two met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

He co-established the Roger Federer Foundation in December 2003. Its goals include funding projects that benefit disadvantaged children, primarily in South Africa. In January 2005, he encouraged efforts from tennis players for the people affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, saying he would play as many matches as possible in tournaments organized to raise funds for the tsunami victims and auctioned off his autographed rackets to raise funds for UNICEF's relief operations.

Federer also launched a fragrance and cosmetics line called RF Cosmetics in October 2003.

On April 3, 2006, Federer was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF [1], which helps poor children around the world.

Tennis

Career
Roger Federer started playing tennis at the age of eight. 1998 was Federer's last year in the Junior circuits; he won the Wimbledon Juniors title and the prestigious year-ending Orange Bowl. Federer joined the ATP tour in July 1998 but finished the year as the ITF World Junior Tennis champion. In 1999, he debuted for the Swiss Davis Cup team. He finished the year as the youngest player inside the ATP's top 100.

In 2000, he reached the semi-finals in the Sydney Olympics, but lost the bronze-medal match. He lost to Arnaud Di Pasquale of France by 7-6(7-5) 6-7(7-9) 6-3. He also reached the finals in Basel and Marseille but did not win either of them.

In February 2001, Federer won his first ATP tournament in Milan. He also won three matches for his country in the Davis Cup in a 3-2 victory over the United States. He advanced to the quarterfinals in the fourth round. He finished the year ranked 13th.

In 2002, Federer reached his first ATP Masters Series final at the Miami Masters, where he lost to Andre Agassi. He won his next AMS final in Hamburg, adding his first AMS title to the Medibank International title he had won earlier in the year. He also won both his Davis Cup singles matches against former world number ones (Russians Marat Safin and Yevgeny Kafelnikov), and by reaching No. 6 in the ATP Champions Race qualified for the first time in the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup where he lost in the semi-finals against Lleyton Hewitt. His year, however, was marked by early-round exits at the French Open, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open. He also lost his long-time Australian coach Peter Carter in a car crash in August.

Federer started 2003 by winning 2 tournaments in a row in Dubai and Marseille. He won in Munich without losing a set but exited the French Open again in the first round. On July 6, 2003, he defeated Mark Philippoussis and won his first Grand Slam title at the Wimbledon Championships, becoming the first Swiss man to do so; he dropped only one set during the entire tournament. He also won four Davis Cup matches during the year to lead Switzerland to the semi-finals of the World Group. He finished 2003 by winning the Tennis Masters Cup at Houston and ranking second in the ATP tour race. In December he parted ways with Peter Lundgren, his coach of four years.

In 2004, Federer had arguably one of the best years in the open era of modern men's tennis, winning three out of four Grand Slam tournaments: he won his first Australian Open title by defeating Marat Safin in straight sets, defended his Wimbledon title by defeating Andy Roddick, and won his first U.S. Open title by defeating Lleyton Hewitt. He finished the year by taking the Tennis Masters Cup at Houston for a second consecutive year. His win-loss record for the year was 74-6 with 11 titles. Federer's remarkable year was recognised when he was named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year in early 2005, edging out the likes of Michael Schumacher, Valentino Rossi, Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps. He also was named "Player of The Year" by Tennis Magazine.

Throughout 2004 Federer did not have a coach, relying instead on his fitness trainer Pierre Paganini, physiotherapist Pavel Kovac, and a management team composed of his parents, his girlfriend Mirka (also his manager), and a few friends. For 2005, Federer arranged for former Australian tennis player Tony Roche to coach him on a limited basis.


Roger Federer at Wimbledon 2005.Federer reached the 2005 Australian Open semi-final before falling to Marat Safin in a five-set night match that lasted more than four hours passing midnight in the 4th set. Federer rebounded to win the year's first two TMS titles: Indian Wells (by defeating Lleyton Hewitt of Australia), and Miami (by defeating Rafael Nadal of Spain). He won his third Hamburg Masters clay court title in May by defeating Richard Gasquet, who he had earlier lost to in Monte Carlo. He then entered the French Open as one of the favorites, losing in the semifinals in four sets to Rafael Nadal. Federer defended his Wimbledon title for the third consecutive year by defeating Andy Roddick in a rematch of the previous year's final. Federer also defeated Roddick at the Cincinnati Masters to take his fourth ATP Masters Series title of the year (and sweep all the American AMS events) and become the first player in ATP Masters history to win four titles in one season. He also became the first Swiss male champion in Cincinnati's 107-year history.

Federer dropped only two sets on his way to a defense of his U.S. Open title against Andre Agassi: he won in four sets. He failed to defend his Tennis Masters Cup title, however, losing to David Nalbandian of Argentina in a 4 1/2 hour, 5 set match.

In January 2006, Federer won the Australian Open by defeating Cypriot sensation Marcos Baghdatis. This win marked Federer's third win in as many consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. In March, he defended his titles at the Indian Wells and Miami Masters to become the first player ever to win the Indian Wells-Miami double in consecutive years.

In 2006, Federer's win-loss record currently stands at 43-3, all three losses coming against Spaniard Rafael Nadal.

Already, Federer has become the first man in the Open Era to win Wimbledon and the US Open back-to-back in consecutive years (2004 and 2005). He also has won three straight Wimbledon titles (2003-05), an achievement also completed by Bjorn Borg (1976-80) and Pete Sampras (1993-95; 1997-2000) in the Open Era. Federer is also one of the three active players to have reached the semi-finals of each Grand Slam tournament. Andre Agassi and David Nalbandian are the other two who have accomplished that feat.

Federer is expected by many (including Rod Laver, John McEnroe, and Boris Becker; see quotes) to become one of the game's all time greats.

See ATP Player Activity: Roger Federer for the scorelines to all his matches.

Coaches
1989-1994: Seppli Kacovsky (Switzerland). Kacovsky was the head coach of the Old Boys’ Tennis Club Tennis Club Old Boys Basel in Federer’s home town of Basel. Roger joined Old Boys' when he was eight years old and trained there until '94.
1991-1995, 1997-1998: Peter Carter (Australia). Carter privately coached Federer on a weekly basis, from the age of 10 to 14. They reunited again in a new training facility in Biel in 1997 and Carter continued coaching Federer on and off until he turned pro.
1995-1997: After he became the Swiss junior champion, Federer was selected to join the Swiss National Tennis center in Ecublens. He continued to train there until he finished school.
1999-2003: Peter Lundgren (Sweden). Federer chose former top-25 player Lundgren, whom he met in Biel, as his coach, as he entered the professional circuit. He still consulted frequently with Carter.
2005-Present: Tony Roche (Australia). Roche is a former Australian tennis champion who previously coached Patrick Rafter, as well as Ivan Lendl, to the world number one ranking. He is scheduled to help Federer for a few weeks before Grand Slam and Tennis Master Series tournaments.

Equipment
Roger Federer uses the "midsize" Wilson nSix-One Tour 90 tennis racquet. This racquet's relatively small head and relatively high 12.4 oz strung weight offer better control and feel, but make it more demanding to use. There are some differences between the racquet that Federer uses and the one available to retail customers, but there is no evidence to suggest that Federer is using anything but a Wilson nSix-One Tour 90 that has been modified by the Wilson Pro Room.[2]

Federer started using Wilson racquets in 1991 at age 10. In 1997, he signed his first endorsement deal with the Chicago-based sporting goods manufacturer. In March 2006, Federer signed a lifetime sponsorship contract with Wilson.[3]

Federer's debut on tour was with the Wilson Pro Staff 6.0 Original 85 (similar to the St. Vincent version of the Wilson Pro Staff Midsize used for many years by Pete Sampras). Federer then switched to the Wilson Hyper Pro Staff 6.0 95, followed by the Wilson Pro Staff Tour 90, and the Wilson nSix-One Tour 90.

According to Priority One, which services tennis players on the pro tour (including stringing Federer's racquets), Federer uses a hybrid of Wilson Natural Gut (16 gauge) and Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power Rough (16L gauge) in his racquet.[4] Federer uses the Natural Gut on his mains at tensions ranging from 21 kg to 24 kg, and the Alu Power Rough on his crosses, 1.5 kg lower in tension than the mains. Ten "string savers" are installed in the upper region of the string bed (at the intersection of the 4th and 6th cross alternately on the ten center main strings). Federer also has leather power pads installed at the throat on the six center main strings. These pads dampen vibration and increase string longevity.

Records and trivia
In 1999, Federer was the youngest player (18 years, 4 months) in the ATP Ranking's year end Top 100.
By winning Wimbledon in 2003, Federer joined Stefan Edberg, Pat Cash, and Björn Borg as the only players to win both the juniors' and men's Wimbledon championships.
Federer was presented the inaugural "Golden Bagel award" in 2004, a light-hearted award based on a trivial statistic given to the men's professional tennis player who serves up more "bagels" (sets won 6-0) than any other player in any given year. Federer gave out 12 "bagels" in 2004. He also served 23 "bread sticks" (6-1 sets won).
He became the first player to win Grand Slam events (Wimbledon & US Open) the year after having won three Grand Slam events in the same year.
Federer is the first player to win four Tennis Masters Series titles in one season; he also is only the third player (and only non-American) to have won all four North American ATP Masters Series events in a career (along with Andre Agassi and Michael Chang). He and Agassi are the only two players to win the six major hardcourt titles (The 4 Masters Series events plus the Australian Open and the US Open).
In the semi-final of the Tennis Masters Cup 2004, Federer won the second set tie-break against Marat Safin at 20-18 that lasted 26 minutes. It tied the record for the longest tie-break (in terms of points) ever played since the tie-break system was introduced in 1970. Besides Federer, only Björn Borg (1st round Wimbledon 1973 against Premjit Lal) and Goran Ivanišević (1st round US Open 1993 against Daniel Nestor, and semi-final Queen's Club 1997 against Greg Rusedski) won such drawn out tie-breaks.
Federer lost the semi-finals of both Australian and French Open to the eventual winner: Safin in Melbourne and Nadal in Paris. Both Safin and Nadal were celebrating their respective birthdays the day they defeated Roger.
Winning the 2005 Halle doubles title with fellow Swiss Yves Allegro marked the fact that Federer has now won singles and doubles titles on all four surfaces: hardcourt, clay, carpet and grass. [Singles: Sydney '02 (hard), Hamburg '02 (clay), Milan '01 (carpet) and Halle '03 (grass); Doubles: Rotterdam '01 (hard), Gstaad '01 (clay), Moscow '02 (carpet) and Halle '05 (grass)]
Federer defeated Gaston Gaudio 6-0, 6-0 in the semi-finals of the 2005 Tennis Masters Cup. This was the first time ever a Masters match was won with a "double bagel".
Due to his win over Nalbandian in the French Open semi-finals his Grand Slam winning streak now stands at 27, which is second only to Rod Laver's 29. By reaching the final of the French Open, he also became the first man to reach four consecutive Grand Slam finals since Andre Agassi reached four finals between 1999 (French Open) and 2000 (Australian Open), winning three titles.

Streaks
In 2001, Federer ended Pete Sampras' 31 match unbeaten streak at Wimbledon in the fourth round.
Federer's victory at the 2004 US Open marked the first time in the Open era (i.e., since 1968) that anyone had won his first four Grand Slam finals.
Federer is the first player since Ivan Lendl in 1986-87 to win back-to-back Tennis Masters Cup titles without losing a match.
In 2004, Federer became the 10th different player in the Open era to win at least 10 singles titles in a season. He is the first year-end No. 1 to register 11 titles since Ivan Lendl in 1985. In addition, Federer is the only player to win at least 10 titles in a season without losing in a final.
Federer is the first player since Björn Borg in 1979 to win consecutive tournaments on three different surfaces, having captured titles at Wimbledon (grass), Gstaad (clay) and Toronto (hard).
Federer held a record 26 consecutive wins against top ten ranked opponents; the streak spanned from October 2003 to January 2005 (he lost to Marat Safin in the semifinal of the Australian Open).
With his victory over James Blake in the quarter-final of the 2006 Miami Masters he reached a 25-match winning streak against American players. His last loss was to Andy Roddick in the semi-final of the 2003 Canadian Masters.
His loss against Richard Gasquet in the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters brought his win-loss tally to 35-2 for 2005, the best start on the men's tour since John McEnroe, who holds the record with 39-0 in 1984.
He holds a 36-match winning streak on matches played on grass; this particular streak is the best since Björn Borg, who won 41 consecutive matches on grass between 1976 and 1980.
Federer has won three consecutive men's singles titles at Wimbledon, a feat accomplished only by Borg and Sampras in the Open era. In the 21 matches Federer played at Wimbledon through 2003-05 he dropped just four sets (winning 63). In comparison, Borg and Sampras lost 9 and 11 sets respectively over a similar three-year time frame.
With his victory over Lleyton Hewitt in the 2005 US Open finals he had won 70 matches or more in three consecutive seasons (2003: 78-17, 2004: 74-6, 2005: 81-4).
He is the fifth player in the history of ATP Rankings to rank No. 1 every week during calendar year (others: Connors, Lendl, Sampras, Hewitt).
He has held a record-tying four winning streaks of 20 consecutive matches or more. The first one was a 23-match winning streak in mid 2004, the second one was a 26-match streak spanning the latter half of 2004 and early 2005, and the third was a 25-match streak in early 2005. The fourth streak counted 35 matches including tournament wins at Halle, Wimbledon, Cincinnati, the U.S. Open, one Davis Cup match, Bangkok and four Tennis Masters Cup matches. Pete Sampras also had four such streaks in his entire career; Federer's win against Fabrice Santoro in New York allowed him to tie the record. The 35-match winning streak is the fifth longest in the men's game, at par with Thomas Muster's, set in 1995, and Borg's, set in 1978.
By winning in Bangkok in September 2005, Federer had won his 24th straight final dating back to Vienna, October 2003. His undefeated streak in finals is a new Open era record. The previous record was 12 straight final wins, shared by McEnroe and Borg. It marked also the first time Federer won five consecutive tournaments he entered. Nalbandian's win over Federer in the final of the Tennis Masters Cup meant the end of two records: his finals streak of 24, and his 35-match overall winning streak.
With an 81-4 record in 2005, Federer's winning percentage of 95.3 was second only to John McEnroe's Open Era record, who had a 96.5 percentage and an 82-3 record in 1984.
With his victory over Marcos Baghdatis at the Australian Open he became the first man to win three consecutive Grand Slam titles since Sampras in 1993-94.
Federer has won all the Grand Slam finals he has reached, an Open Era record. It also ties the mark for the best since Richard Sears went 7–0 in the 19th century.
After Federer's third round win over Tommy Haas at the Nasdaq 100 Open in Key Biscayne, Florida, Federer broke the previous record for consecutive matches won in Masters Series events, which was 19 held by Sampras. His streak is currently at 29 after winning his fourth consecutive Masters Series final, against Ivan Ljubičić, and overcoming Fernando Gonzalez to advance to the final of Masters Series Monte-Carlo. In that final, he lost to Nadal and his streak was snapped.
Federer has broken the record for most consecutive singles wins on U.S. soil (it currently stands at 48).
By winning the Nasdaq 100 Open title in Key Biscayne, Florida, on April 2, 2006, Federer became the only player in history to win the first two Masters Series events of the year two years in a row [5]. It was also his 11th consecutive final and 10th Masters Series title).
He currently has 10 Masters Series shields, ranking third to Sampras (11 titles) and Agassi (17 titles).
By reaching the final at the French Open, Federer reached his 14th consecutive final, surpassing Guillermo Vilas mark set in 1977. This puts him in second place after Ivan Lendl (18 between 1981-82).

Ranking and points records
Federer's tally of 1,345 ATP Race points in 2005 set a new record since the Race began in 2000. He held the previous record of 1,267 points in 2004, which had broken Andy Roddick's 907-point record in 2003.
With totals of 6335 points end 2004 and 6725 points end 2005, Federer finished with the highest number of year-ending ATP tour ranking points since the ATP circuit began in 1990, although the points breakdown changed slightly in 2000. The previous year-ending highest rating was Pete Sampras' 5097 points in 1994.
Federer owns the record for the highest ranking points at any time of the year for performances based on the past 52 weeks: 7275 points (January the 30th, 2006).
As of June 5, Federer has held the #1 spot on the ATP rankings for 123 consecutive weeks. This is the third longest streak in history, surpassing the total of Pete Sampras (fourth), who held that spot for 102 weeks from 1996 to '98. Only Jimmy Connors (160 weeks) and Ivan Lendl (157) have had longer uninterrupted runs at the top.
