Roger Federer continues to add titles that recognize the legacy and history that the Swiss tennis player has written and wants to continue writing in the world of tennis in his 40s. The ATP announced this Thursday that Federer has been the favorite tennis player of the fans in the voting carried out by the organism on the occasion of the ATP Awards, which recognize the best tennis players of the season in various fields.
In this way Federer continues to expand his legacy in the world of tennis, since the Swiss has been chosen as the best tennis player for the fans for the nineteenth consecutive year in an award in which Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic have not been able to beat him and that it shows again the charisma that the Swiss tennis player maintains despite his problems with injuries in these last two seasons in which he has barely been able to coincide with the fans on the slopes. In fact Federer has not competed since last Wimbledon and ensures that he does not know if he will compete in next year’s edition while waiting for how his recovery progresses.
With this award, Federer has already accumulated a whopping 40 titles at the ATP Awards, of which 19 correspond to the fan favorite, 13 to the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, 2 to the Arthur Ashe Award for humanitarian work, in addition to winning the award for Best Comeback of the Year in 2017 and the five titles for finishing as number 1 of the ATP ranking as many seasons. In this way Federer shows one more year who is the favorite tennis player for tennis fans.
