Roger Federer Biography - Roger Federer Tennis Player

Roger Federer Pic

Roger federer biography begins in 1981 where he was born in Basel Switzeland. Roger Federer tennis career started early at the age of six. Throughout his teens he was was ironically famous for being temperamental.

Federer was often seen smashing racquets, screaming etc (completely opposite of the cool headed Federer that we know today.) In 1998 he became number one in the world Junior rankings.

Here is a nice video of him playing back in 1999. It shows the younger talent coming through.

After the junior tour it diddn't take long for Federer to hit the professional tournaments and in 2000 Federer made his first final in Marseille Open.

From 2003 to 2006 Federers reign was supreme with 237 consecutive weeks at number one, and now in 2010 he has won 16 grand slam titles.



Roger As A Player

Roger Federer tennis is known for a fierce forehand and being adaptable to any situation as Jimmy Conors stated "In an era of specialists, you're either a clay court specialist, a grass court specialist, or a hard court specialist... or you're Roger Federer." This is partly what makes the Roger federer bio so impressive.

This adaptability also allows Roger Federer to find cracks of weaknesses in his opponents defense and then exploit them with the right shots. This dicey and subtle way of playing may have made it difficult for him in his younger years but once mastered it has made him a nightmare to defeat.
