Federer is auctioning memorabilia from £ 100
The best thing: In addition to the "big pieces" in London, you can also bid online on 300 more affordable Federer souvenirs, the entry-level prices for sweatbands, shoes and socks should be around 100 pounds. It was Federer's express wish that souvenirs could also be auctioned that are affordable for normal fans.
Federer had already said some time ago that he had kept many rackets from his career - to Mirka's slight displeasure. But he always had this in mind for his charity.
Federer is now back on the field after his long injury break: After his comeback in Geneva (out of the first match), he is currently preparing for the French Open. However, the big goals follow in the summer with Wimbledon, the Olympic Games in Tokyo and the US Open. Here the maestro wants to be 100 percent again - and play for the title. And probably save some more memorabilia for future auctions.
