Federer has thrived in his position as an elder statesman of tennis, with his outstanding performances on tour enhanced by many off-court services to the sport and charitable causes. As reverential as he is revered, Federer’s commitment to honor the game’s glorious history helped establish the Laver Cup.

Career

Now in the 21^st season of his professional career, Federer continues to set new standards in excellence. Shortly after winning his 20^th Grand Slam title at Australian Open 2018, the 36-year-old became the oldest world No.1 in history. His return to the top spot came 14 years after he first achieved the feat, setting a new record for longest span between reigns as No.1.
