Roger Federer keeps on collecting Awards. After retiring, Federer made his first public appearance in his native Switzerland and was presented with an honorary award for his outstanding contributions to Swiss sports. The 41-year-old, who has won the title of Swiss Athlete of the Year a record seven times, was presented with the honor at a gala in Zurich by Federal Councilor and Minister of Sport Viola Amherd.
On receiving the award, Roger commented: “I’m happy to have managed to move on to my post-career. It was something I feared. But it went better than I thought”

Federer, 41, is regarded as one of the sport’s best players. Federer, a classic single-hander who more than held his own in a time of strong double-handers, has a long list of outstanding accomplishments on his illustrious resume. The 20-time Grand Slam champion has won over 1,250 singles matches and 100 titles, to name a few accomplishments. He has 237 consecutive weeks as the World No. 1 and is one of just five male players in the Open Era to have won the so-called career Grand Slam (ie. winning all slams).
