Biography 7:Roger Federer by Manny
Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He is well known everywhere! Even people who don’t know much about tennis know who he is. I’ll now tell you about his achievements.
He has won 17 grand slams. The biggest four tournaments of the year. they are huge. If you win a grand slam, you get 1 million dollars. But tennis players do not play for the money. they play because they love it. Like Roger Federer does. Winning that many grand slams is incredible! He has also won over 70 million dollars in prize money. That is also one of the best of all time. When Roger Federer plays in a tournament, it’s watch out. If you are a low ranked player who’s not experienced and you find out you play Roger Federer, honestly, the only way you can win is if you believe in yourself. If you believe that you can. Do you agree with that? Roger Federer plays with a one hand backhand and a big serve. Also, a great forehand. He uses that as a weapon on the court. In otherwise, he does a lot of charities. One time, he went to Africa to play with them and raise money. Also, when there was a flood in Queensland, Australia in late 2010. In January before the Australian Open, they played on Rod Laver Arena (which is the main stadium for the Australian Open) and the top players were having fun with playing and doubles and they made the crowd laugh. Roger Federer was one of them. The charity was called Rally For Relief.
Now you know about Roger Federer. I hope you had fun learning about him and the geat things he does. Did you already know about before?
