Federer, voted best athlete in Switzerland in the last 70 years

Switzerland paid tribute to Roger Federer, one of its great international ambassadors. The Swiss tennis player, winner of 20 Grand Slam titles, was distinguished at the gala of the Swiss Sports Awards with the award for the best Swiss sportsman of the last 70 years.

And it is that the record of 'His Majesty' in the world of tennis impresses, since Federer holds the record of 20 Grand Slam with Rafa Nadal in addition to having achieved 103 titles during his career (he is six away from equaling the 109 achieved by Jimmy Connors) and the record of most weeks as number 1 in the ATP ranking with 310.

At the trophy award ceremony, Federer showed his enthusiasm to compete again in 2021 after a 2020 season in which he has barely been able to play after undergoing two operations on his knee. “I hope to get back on the slopes in 2021, but if my career ends like this, it's amazing to do it with this award.”

Federer, who has already confessed that it is a serious doubt to attend the Australian Open, looks with optimism to the 2021 season, where Wimbledon and the Tokyo Games They are presented as the main challenges to continue growing his legend in the world of tennis.
