Description

This admired biography traces the rise of Roger Federer, from his first tentative strokes with a racket to legendary status, and perhaps even the title of greatest tennis player ever. A 17-time Grand Slam champion, Olympic gold medallist and Davis Cup winner, Roger Federer is regarded as the greatest tennis player of all time. No matter which country he’s playing in, Federer remains adored by fans who admire his sportsmanship and professionalism as much as his balletic movement on the court. Summer 2016 will provide him with the opportunity to add to his extraordinary legacy, with titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, the US Open and the Rio Olympics all to be played for. Updated to include the 2015 season and 2016 Australian Open, this definitive biography from Chris Bowers, Eurosport commentator and one of tennis’s most respected voices, examines Roger’s rise from an ordinary, loving childhood in Switzerland to his position as a true sporting legend.
