Roger Federer's debut on the ATP tennis tour was in July 1998 in Gstaad. In only his third season as a professional, he won his first tournament final in Milan in 2001. And just two years later (2003), at the tender age of 21, he won Wimbledon, his first ever Grand Slam title. His opponent in the final, Mark Philippoussis, took him to a tie-break twice, but eventually had to concede defeat, and Roger Federer was able to celebrate his first great sporting success. At the Wimbledon Championships alone, he has bagged a further seven titles, the last in 2017 at the age of 35 and five years after his previous Grand Slam victory. He is one of the few players to have won all four Grand Slam titles (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open) at least once. To date, Roger Federer has headed the world rankings for the longest, with a total of 310 weeks at the top, including a record-breaking run of 237 consecutive weeks. He is also the oldest player to have topped the list.
As well being a superb tennis player and sportsman, Roger Federer is a family man, Switzerland fan, collector and tourist in his home country.
