Recently, Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer shared a rare family photo on social media featuring all eight members of his family, which has sparked discussions and attention from fans and the media.
Public records show that Federer was born in 1981 in Switzerland, Europe. He began playing tennis at the age of three, displaying remarkable talent and a deep love for the sport. This led him to start training seriously. In May 1997, at the Italian Prato Station, Federer won his first junior championship, marking the beginning of his frequent appearances in international tournaments. Despite taking four years to win his first Grand Slam title after turning professional, Federer entered his prime starting in 2004.
In 2003, Federer won his first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon. In 2004, he reached world No. 1 for the first time after winning the Australian Open. In 2009, he completed a career Grand Slam at the French Open. In 2017, he defeated Cilic in the Wimbledon final to become the first player to win the men's singles title at Wimbledon eight times. In 2018, he won his 20th and final Grand Slam title. In 2019, he won his 100th tour singles title at the Dubai Open. Throughout his career, Federer won a total of 103 titles, including 20 Grand Slams, 28 Masters titles, and 6 year-end championships. He held the world No. 1 ranking for a record 310 weeks, including 237 consecutive weeks. Federer officially retired on September 23, 2022.
In the family photo shared by Federer, the family is seen at the beach. Federer still looks young and handsome, with an excellent mental state. Notably, his two sets of twin daughters and sons are featured. The twin daughters, dressed identically in blue, have the same appearance and are described as beautiful. The twin sons, also dressed similarly in striped tops and white shorts, have a significant height difference but possess an elegant demeanor.
After retiring, Federer is truly enjoying life. He often attends F1 races to watch the competitions. However, one statistic has dropped him out of the historical top three, causing fans to sigh. What is this statistic? It's the "number of seasons with over ten million dollars in prize money," where Federer has fallen out of the top three. Djokovic, Sinner, and Alcaraz have each broken the ten million dollar mark in prize money for three consecutive seasons, while Federer only achieved this twice, thus being pushed out of the top three!
As the saying goes, "New talents emerge with each generation, leading the trend for hundreds of years!" Federer has become a thing of the past! We wish Federer a happier and more prosperous future!
