Switzerland’s Roger Federer is best known for the tennis produced over the years. Even after almost two decades near the helm of the sport, his elegance in his shot-making remains unmatched. As compared to other players, he has an artistic approach to commanding the court. 

Since 2006, Roger had sported the ‘RF’ logo on his Nike apparel. The deal worked out very successfully as almost every Federer fan-owned a product that sported the ‘RF’ logo on it. However, back in 2018, Roger shocked the world when he stepped on the Centre Court at Wimbledon wearing the Uniqlo apparel for his opening round match.
