When it comes to the legends of today’s tennis world, I believe the answer in the hearts of most fans is “Roger Ferderer”. With an elegant and calm figure, he used his famous “one-handed backhand” to traverse the arena for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, due to the knee injury in the later stage of his career, Federer decided to play following the Laver Cup this week. Hang up the racket and get back home, making time for the ones you love the most.
Although this “Swiss Express” is regarding to arrive, his lofty status in the tennis world is definitely “unprecedented, no one since”. Because of Federer’s special experience and unique personality, fans are very fond of him. The topic is always talked regarding, let’s take a look at the little-known little anecdote in his wonderful career today!
The shape is very different
Speaking of Federer, everyone should think of him as a gentle and refined gentleman, but in fact he also had a rebellious side. At the beginning of his career, he was actually an emotional man with long hair. The rebellious boy, who not only cursed on the court when he performed poorly, but also broke his racket. Who would have thought that he would become a famous player known for his elegance 20 years later?
Proficient in various talents but just don’t like to study
Federer’s father is Swiss and his mother is South African. Growing up in such a family, he also knew the importance of language. Therefore, although he was not interested in various subjects in school in middle school and in elementary school, even in class I often dozed off accidentally, and the education is only middle school. However, he always has a heart for learning different languages, so Federer not only knows English, German, French, Swedish, Italian, but also thought regarding learning Chinese when he went to the Shanghai competition. Don’t think that Federer, as a “tennis genius”, can only play tennis. When he was a child, he studied football, badminton, and static piano. In addition, he showed his good skills at billiards more than once.
Participate in “Speaking Training Camp” to practice eloquence
Since his success in tennis, Federer has become the focus of the spotlight. He is always a topical figure. On the one hand, he is very novel regarding being able to experience many new things, such as walking the red carpet, participating in activities, etc., on the other hand. When he was off the pitch, he was often recognized or followed, and sometimes he felt uncomfortable.
After becoming a celebrity, Federer often faces various types of interviews. So far in his sports career, the interviews he has accepted can even be said to be one of the best among athletes. When he was young, he always felt that these interviews were a bad thing for him, and it was not until 1999 that he participated in a series of trainings organized by the ATP, which also included “talking” related courses, that he overcame the problem of interviews. of fear. Until now he can give interviews fluently in various languages, and Federer even said that when he answers questions in different languages, he seems to be a different personality!
Super-eating pasta has “exclusive face”
Federer, a vegetarian until the age of 16, didn’t start eating meat until his partner suggested he eat meat during a match to enhance his performance on the court. Among all the dishes, Federer loves Italian food, so every time he goes to Rome, he always eats very satisfied. Among all the dishes, his favorite is pasta, so he won the pasta brand Barilla Pasta favors and endorses pasta, and Barilla Pasta even helped Federer specially make his favorite pasta, and produced his logo abbreviation “RF” style noodles.
Elegant gentlemen love to listen to rock?
Who would have thought that an elegant gentleman like Federer would love to listen to the music of the rock band AC/DC, and had the honor to meet members of AC/DC following the competition in 2019. At that time, Federer also said interestingly that his career can be maintained like this The long-term factors are: adequate sleep, exercise, the temptation of bonuses, and a lifestyle that is not “rock” at all. It seems that Federer is just through listening to AC/DC’s music to release the rock factor in his body, right?
“The Devil of Fashion” is Dad Fei’s super good friend
Federer is not only very tasteful in music, but also very fashionable in private dressing style. In 2016, he was also selected as “The Most Stylish Man” by GQ magazine, also because of Federer’s unique fashion He and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of fashion magazine Vogue, became friends by chance. Wintour not only came to watch his games, but the two also often had meals and parties in private.
Commemorative stamps, a street of the same name, and…a cow?
Because of his achievements in tennis, in 2007 Federer’s hometown of Switzerland issued a special stamp with his theme, and the photo of the stamp is his figure at Wimbledon, which is usually a great achievement and deceased. The honor of a great man, it can be seen that he has an extraordinary position in the heart of the Swiss. In addition, in 2012, there was a street in Halle, Germany, named following Federer, called “Roger Federer Allee”. In 2016, Switzerland followed suit and named the street with the same name in Biel.
These are not the most exaggerated. In 2003, Federer participated in the annual Swiss Open and won the championship. After the game, he won a very strange prize-a cow, which Federer also took for this cow. An elegant name “Juliet”, he didn’t expect that when he won the Swiss Open once more in 2013, he got another cow Desiree, and finally he had to give these cows to the farmer on the ranch, because he didn’t know what to do with himself. Raising these cows, and what to do with these cows.
Twin family! The nickname “Father Dad” is not a waste of fame
Everyone knows that Federer and his wife gave birth to “two pairs” of twins, which can be said to be a very rare event, but what is even more surprising is that his sister has also given birth to a pair of twins, which can be called “The Family of Twins”. Federer, who loves children, also adheres to the concept of “family first”. Therefore, in the off-season, in addition to climbing mountains, he most hopes to travel around the world with his family. Although he is competing in other places, he will also take a few minutes out of the busy schedule. When the sky is free, I take my wife and children to look around.
It is precisely because he puts his family first that Federer resolutely wants to retire. He also wishes Father Fei to spend more time with his family following retiring and to achieve his goal of taking his family to travel around the world. , not only a wonderful tennis career, but also a rich off-court life!
