Roger Federer

Swiss athlete Roger Federer, who for almost 6 years held the first position in the ranking of the best tennis players in the world, and since the early 2000s was constantly in the top ten of the top singles players, is considered the best representative of the modern generation of tennis players. One of the Swiss's successes was his 20-time lead among all Grand Slam winners, which is an absolute achievement.

The future tennis court star was born in the small Alpine town of Basel on August 8, 1981, on the sign of the zodiac Leo. Robert Federer's father is half German and his mother, Lenette Rand of African descent.

Parents from a young age led an active lifestyle. They worked together in tennis and golf. Their love for the sport was also passed on to their youngest son Roger, who had already picked up his racket at the age of three. As a child, the boy grew up hyperactive child, any free minute he spent on playing with the ball.

Lynette, being a children's coach herself, noticed her son's passion for tennis and gave the boy to professional mentor Adolf Kaczowski. The family had to save about 30,000 francs a year for the hobby of their talented son.

Roger began to quickly master the program and at the age of 12 he went to his first youth competitions. Federer reaches the final at the National Junior Tournament. After a while, to continue his professional growth, the boy changes his mentor. His new instructor is now Peter Carter. He brought his ward to the world stage in a few years, where Roger at the age of 16 became the winner of the Wimbledon competition in the youth category.
