More about the book
This acclaimed sports biography by Chris Bowers explores Roger Federer’s identity and legacy in tennis and sports history. Federer is a legend, boasting a record 16 Grand Slam titles and showing no signs of slowing down, having added another Australian Open win in 2010 and clinching the ATP World Tour Finals trophy in London. The biography traces Federer’s journey from his early days with a tennis racket to his challenges at a training academy in a French-speaking part of Switzerland, including the emotional impact of losing his first coach and mentor. It highlights his evolution as a sportsman and his personal life, detailing his marriage to Mirka Vavrinec and the birth of their twin daughters. The narrative also covers a challenging period in his career marked by illness and a decline in performance, during which he lost his number one ranking to his rival Rafael Nadal. In a remarkable comeback, Federer silenced critics by winning the French Open for the first time, reclaiming his Wimbledon title, and finishing 2009 as the world’s number one for the fifth time. This biography captures the essence of Federer’s resilience and his significant contributions to the sport.
