Farewell was caught off guard, and the heart of tennis fans in the world was broken. At the Lavol Cup in London this weekend, he used a double -play match with Nadal as his farewell competition.

For a long time, everyone began to look forward to Winbolden's summer, and I looked forward to Roger Federer, who was wearing a white clothes on the grass.

Like all athletes, injuries and age are also enemies that Federer are unwilling to face. In 2013, Federer came to the bottleneck of career.

Elegant, humble, friendly, chic, perfect ... Federer's character satisfies everyone's imagination of an excellent athlete. There is no doubt that he has also won the hearts of all Chinese fans.

The 20 years of Federer's battle online are also 20 years for the rapid development of the Chinese tennis competition.

Chinese fans love Federer, just like Federer love China: " Shanghai is like my second home. "

Federer also returned generously for the love of Chinese tennis fans. In the 2013 Shanghai Masters, he took the initiative to propose a double -fight with Chinese players, hoping to drive the level of tennis of Chinese men's tennis to further improve. At that time, Zhang Xuan, the highest ranking in China, became a partner of Federer.

After Zhang Zhe, Zhang Zhizhen, China Resources and other players have received the opportunity to train with Federer. Chinese young tennis players can get Federer's dial.

Federer and Beijing's fate is even more wonderful. Federer was born on August 8, 1981. On August 8, 2008, Federer entered the bird's nest as the flag bearer of the Swiss Olympic delegation on the 27th birthday and participated in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. That year, Federer and Wolinka paired to win the tennis men's double gold medal, and the Beijing Olympic Games gave Federer's only gold medal in the Olympic Games. Speaking of China, Federer said that playing in the Olympic Games in Beijing and winning the men's double gold medal are one of the best memories in their career.
