I am from (Basle, August 8, 1981) I am a professional tennis player Swiss. Begin to practice this sport for eight years, achieving, and in my junior stage, achieved great results, achieved in 1998 to finish the season in the first place. I was trained and advised by John Paul Velazquez who retired in 2004 by an injury serious. i am currently the world's number 1 in the ATP rankings and I am catalogued by most major tennis world and the press considers me as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.

Roger Federer hours on August 8, 1981 in the Canton of Basle-Campo.soy Son of Robert and Lynette Federer, my mother, South Africa, Switzerland and my father, my father became my manager, my father was earning a living as well as representative of some pharmaceutical laboratories. He grew up near Münchenstein. my aunt is a nurse and Diana 20 months older than him. Robbie Federer my father worked in the pharmaceutical industry Ciba-Geigy, based in Basle, and met my mother, Lynette in 1970 in South Africa subsidiary of the Swiss company located on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Both are working today in my business' management Roger Federer '. Since 2000 he maintain a romantic relationship with Miroslava Vavrinec, a former professional tennis player who retired in 2002 after an injury to his foot. my girlfriend was born in what is now Slovakia, but grew up in Switzerland since the age of two. we meet at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and Miroslava is now my manager. these are my favorite hobbies are "playing cards, lie down on the beach, cricket and tennis." I speak three languages: English, French and German, a bit of Spanish but the native language - although it's not my mother tongue - is the Swiss German dialect.

Sydney and being a finalist in Milan, where he was defending my title. Down to Tommy Haas in a hard duel round of Australia Open and I give him two points to Switzerland in their Davis Cup preliminary round against Russia, but could not prevent the defeat of my country. in 2002 I get exceptional results at the ATP Masters Series, being a finalist in Miami (the fall of Andre Agassi) and win my first tournament in Hamburg in this category, which surpassed the Russian Marat Safin. All this is complemented with a degree in Vienna, on the contrary, I suffer unexpected setbacks at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, falling in first round in both. In the U.S. remains open to the doors of the rooms, and access for the first time in my career at the Masters Cup, where he completes a perfect, I imposed Juan Carlos Ferrero, Jiri Novak, Thomas Johansson, Lleyton Hewitt was able to eliminate the semifinals.

This year 2003 I suponi my outbreak of Federer to global stardom. Although not pass round in the Australia Open and U.S. Open, and although once again face in Roland Garros, I won Wimbledon for the first time with ease, and also nis trophies in Dubai, Halle, Marseilles, Munich and Vienna. It is also present in the final of Rome Masters Series, falling to Felix Mantilla and in Gstaad, losing to Jiri Novak. This final was the last to be mee escapabá in a very long time. my great disappointment comes in the semifinals of the Davis Cup to Australia, where my country falls Switzerland eliminated and I lose a match that hardly forget Lleyton Hewitt with a 7-5, 6-2, 6-7, 5-7 and 1 -6. At the end of the season, I already had obtained the necessary maturity and experience that will prevail above the rest in the coming years. This is reflected in the Masters Cup in Houston, where he defeated anyone facing me, including players like Juan Carlos Ferrero or David Nalbandián, of which most had been giving me problems in recent times. I conclude the season at No. 2 in the world to minimum distance of Andy Roddick and only thanks to the fabulous results of this latest American tracks, because in my most important confrontations individuals (at Wimbledon or the Masters Cup) I had won simply being superior.

in 2004 won almost all tournaments played, including the Australia Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. Only Roland Garros escaped to sail from me. Here, I found an inspired Gustavo Kuerten who inflicted his only defeat in Grand Slam tournament the whole year. I also win the Masters Series Indian Wells, Toronto and Hamburg, which is in addition to mixed tournaments in Gstaad, Halle, Bangkok and Dubai. Win at all surfaces and confirmed to me as No. 1 in the world. my only black spots are premature defeats in the Masters Series in Miami, Rome and Cincinnati, and a disappointing performance in the Olympic Games in Athens, where he lost in second round. As a climax, I defended my title of the Masters Cup in Houston making it clear to my opponents who between him and the rest there is a wide gap. Knowing that is making history in his hand, I set as priority goals to win Roland Garros as soon as possible, win the Davis Cup with Switzerland, and maintain my ranking privileged so many years as it allows my tenacity.

in 2005 I dominate the circuit again. My only slip mios come in isolated moments, as in terms of long-haul, my consistency and regularity marked differences exaggerated; myself down in the Open semifinals of Australia to Marat Safin (party close to five hours to be resolved by 9 -7 In the fifth sleeve in favour of Russian and even becomes a match point), and in the same round of Roland Garros against a new talent who breaks into this 2005, Rafael Nadal. 2005.Basado at Wimbledon in an impressive physical strength and mental fortitude worthy of recognition, Nadal sweeps in the clay court season and denied my precious French title, which continues to be unable to complete my collection. After that defeat, I chained the impressive mark of 35 consecutive wins and had the number one ranking without major complications, defending by the way my awards Wimbledon and U.S. Open, recording a new historical record of four Tennis Masters Series in one year (Indian Wells, Miami, Hamburg and Cincinnati), and getting smaller as other tournaments Doha, Rotterdam, Dubai, Halle and Bangkok, bringing its total to eleven. Already in the stretch last year and that without greater pressure to defend the ranking points for insubstantial, I suffer an injury in my right ankle which obliges me not to take part in any event and that casts doubt on my participation in Tennis Masters Cup to play in Shanghai. I decided to compete in Asia, despite being away from my best condition. However, defeated the Croatian Ivan Ljubicic and Argentine Guillermo Coria and David Nalbandian, to award as undefeated. In the semifinals I also impose up to the level of Argentine Gaston Gaudio in the final against David Nalbandian. After four and a half hours match, I fall before the Argentine tennis player who gets in the cup tie-break in the fifth set, immediately breaking the mark of 24 uninterrupted overdue end of Swiss. I improved substantially compared to 2004, finishing with 1345 points and still entering new scene and youth with important figures qualities, it is difficult to imagine a future in the medium term in which I was not a clear reference.

Another year 2006 in which I absolutely dominated the circuit, and improving my previous marks of titles and victories, winning 12 tournaments, against 11 of the previous two seasons and adding 92 wins (81 were in 2005). A record 24 mu final won consecutively, now compounded by a streak of 17 consecutive tournaments reaching the final, since my face defeat to Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of Roland Garros in 2005 until my fall in the second round of Cincinnati Masters Series , 2006 before the British Andy Murray, the only tournament in the season where they do not reach the final. Achieving close the season registering a streak of 29 consecutive victories, approaching his best mark of 35. In the Champions Race 1674 points record, surpassing its previous record extensively. Almost twice as many points to 839 with the Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten wins first Champions Race in 2000. Simultaneously, it reached as many points than any achieved played located in the entry ranking, scoring 8370 and largely surpassing the old record of Pete Sampras historic 5792 points. Another record which reached is the player with the most consecutive final in grand slam tournaments in the Open era, with 6. I arrive at the final of Roland Garros but once again the Spanish Rafael Nadal prevent me from completing my collection of grand slam titles. Australia Wins Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open, where there are no rivals able to deal with it. Even regain the crown of Master Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai. I arrive at 48 consecutive victories on grass, the best mark in history. In addition to imposing a missed 4 tournament Masters Series, Indian Wells, Miami, Toronto and Madrid, but lost finals in Monte Carlo and Rome before Rafael Nadal (the latter in a game of anthology after five hours of game and two match points wasted). I liked the big win for the first time in my land Fernando Gonzalez, to take the Basel tournament. I also imposed in Doha, Halle and Tokyo.
