Speaking about the meaning behind his innovative ‘tennis ball’ t-shirt, Federer said, “Tennis and peace both start with “Love” and I hope this simple design also can remind everyone how important it is to respect each other.”

The 8-time Wimbledon champion is extremely delighted to use his platform to contribute to a humanitarian initiative. All the proceeds from the sales of the exclusive t-shirts will be donated to charitable organizations like UNHCR, Save the Children, and Plan International.
