Roger Federer misses Wimbledon: "gave me everything"
Roger Federer misses Wimbledon's "sacred lawn". "It was pleasant for me to stay in one place for a long time. I have not seen this in more than 25 years," said the 38-year-old Swiss when introducing a new shoe: "But of course I miss Wimbledon. "

Federer added that he would like to be on the center court now and fight for a place in the second week of the tournament. The hope of appearing at the world's most important tennis tournament next year is what drives him in his daily work: "Wimbledon gave me everything."
Federer has already won eight titles in the lawn tournament that fell victim to the corona pandemic this year. He is currently working on his comeback. The 38-year-old had an additional arthroscopic procedure performed on his right knee in June and will not be returning to the currently pausing tour this year.
Next year, he plans to start his 21st Grand Slam title again, especially at Wimbledon.
Roger Federer presents his own shoe: THE ROGER
Federer presented his first sneaker on Monday, which he designed together with the Swiss brand On. After investing last fall, he himself took a stake in the company.
"I hope it is a shoe that you would like to wear every day. It should be so comfortable that it feels like a watch," said Federer.
