Roger is a face we often see on our TV screens and on social media too. Not only playing tennis but Roger has been a part of many great campaigns globally.
Here we are mentioning a few. Credit Suisse, Mercedes Benz, Rolex, Nike, Uniqlo, and many more. Roger was part of Nike’s campaigns from 1994, that’s a great many years. But what got him to quit in 2018? Roger quitting Nike, what strange news? But the resources have confirmed that Uniqlo, a company that was long trying to get into the tennis world has laid its eyes on him. Yes! They are paying him $300 million per year to promote their Japanese brand.
Ever since Roger signed Uniqlo, he ditched Nike. The worst part is the RF logo is going to stay with Nike forever and is not going to follow him to Uniqlo. All these sponsorships have caused him a good worth. When you are lucky enough to be the world’s top player, you get these kinds of perks.

He managed to raise about $2.5 million or more while playing Match of Africa 5: Silicon Valley, in 2004 after the Indian tsunami and in 2010 after Haiti and Queensland flood he played games for the sake of charity.
Rivalries:
Roger has had many rivalries in his career like with Roddick, Murray, Safin, Agassi, Hewitt, Wawrinka, Del Potro, Nalbandian, and etc. but the most interesting one is the one with Rafael Nadal. Both of the players have played 40 games together. But fortunate enough for Roger, he managed to win most of the games.

Playing Style:
If you can play and master the clay courts, grass courts, and hard courts, you must be Roger Federer? Aren’t you? He is the only player who is the master of all. Having won 90% of the games at the service is one of his greatest achievements. Roger is widely known for his super-speed, style, focus, powerful game and strong body moves.
The experts have named his movements a “liquid whip” after seeing his effortless great moves. Roger usually plays at the baseline but is super comfortable at the net too as he has the best wrist movements in the history of tennis. The service shot he delivers is said to be approximately 200 km/h, but definitely, he is capable of delivering 220 km/h. Oh my God! As if his speed wasn’t enough he uses slice to lure the opponents to the net and then takes advantage. The best shot he recently adopted is the shot between the legs.
