Who can forget the amazing Double’s final of the Hopman Cup [https://hopmancup.com/] 2019? Switzerland was up against Germany in the finale of the tournament. Roger Federer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/] and Belinda Bencic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/belinda-bencic/] were representing Switzerland while Alexander Zverev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-zverev/] and Angelique Kerber [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/angelique-kerber/] were the representatives of Germany. The match was in the third set. Nobody was ready to give up any points easily. However, something peculiar took place in the sixth game of the set. Before the start of this game, Switzerland was leading 3-2 in the set. Serving in the game, Federer struck a strong serve which Zverev returned easily. In response, Federer directed a volley towards Kerber. She realized that Federer was ahead and lobbed the ball. Taking everyone by surprise, the Swiss Maestro ran backwards to fetch the ball and switched sides with Bencic. Now, Federer and Kerber were in direct competition. Federer struck a hard forehand towards Kerber, which she returned with all her might. The Swiss again came running forward and responded with a cheesy drop. Kerber came running, spending all her energy to pick the drop. She not only picked it but returned it with an accurate and well-placed around the net forehand [https://twitter.com/carnesy56/status/1317226111089090560] that landed just inside the court. Kerber was visibly overwhelmed after earning this hard fought point against the most tenacious player of the game. It was as if she had conquered the world. The fans reacted to her winner with huge applause, and Federer was stunned. ROGER FEDERER AND BELINDA BENCIC GUIDED SWITZERLAND TO WIN THEIR FOURTH HOPMAN CUP IN 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Roger_Federer_2009.jpg] Kerber’s magnificent winner only made Germany win the point and not the match. Switzerland emerged victorious as they defeated Germany 4-0, 1-4, 4-3. It was their fourth Hopman Cup title. Both Federer and Bencic played exceptionally well throughout the tournament. 2019 featured the last edition of the Hopman Cup. It was started in 1989 as an international 8-team indoor hard court tournament and took place in Perth, Australia in 2019. Now, it is set to be replaced by the ATP Cup which saw its first edition in 2020.

His 2004 season saw him win three Grand Slam titles, as well as becoming the number 1 ranked player for the first time. He ended the year by winning the year-end championships for a second time. Additionally, Federer would play against his greatest rival, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal">Rafael Nadal</a>. Nadal won their first match and set the tone for the 'Fedal' rivalry.

Since then, Nadal and Federer traded Grand Slam titles until <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> stepped onto the scene. His entry would see the formation of the Big 3 of the Open Era.

Owing to the knee injury Federer faced after <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/wimbledon-championships/">Wimbledon</a> 2021 and the subsequent surgery, he had to be away from the sport for a significant amount of time. Also, the Swiss star mentioned that he went under the knife to lead a normal life with his family post-retirement. He went on to miss the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/">Australian Open</a> 2022.

This would be the same case for the rest of the Swiss Maestro's career as he was unable to play any Grand Slams. His final match and 1750th match was in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/laver-cup/">Laver Cup</a>. He played alongside his long-time rival Rafael Nadal against Americans Jack Sock and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/frances-tiafoe/">Frances Tiafoe</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federerâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Rolex is one of Roger Federer's oldest sponsors. The watch company struck a deal with Federer worth approximately $15 million. He also has tie-ups with major companies such as the Japanese clothing company Uniqlo, and Swiss companies like Credit Suisse, Lindt, and Sunrise Communications.

Federer's deal with Uniqlo is reportedly worth almost $300 million according to ESPN and the Italian tennis journalist Vincenzo Martucci from Sports Senators. He is also sponsored by the sports manufacturing companyÂ Wilson and the luxury and sports car brand- Mercedes-Benz. He also has deals with Louis Vuitton and Switzerland Tourism.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federerâ€™s Shoe Collaboration With Swiss Brand ON</b></h2>
Roger Federer stopped being sponsored by Nike in 2019. Uniqlo approached the former number 1 to sponsor him for clothes. However, he still wore Nike shoes without being sponsored. Eventually, Federer discovered the Swiss shoe company, On. He first found out about the company when he saw his wife wearing them. Later, Federer would see people on the streets of Switzerland donning shoes made by On.

He eventually wore the shoes in training and loved them. Federer approached the board of directors of On and signed a deal with them which included a 3% stake in the company. With Federer on board, On was launched into the mainstream. The company reported immense growth in 2021.

Owing to their newfound popularity, the Swiss shoe company was able toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-wta-tennis-news-nearly-two-billion-worth-gigantic-move-from-roger-federer-as-he-deepens-his-grip-further-as-a-businessman-with-a-new-venture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sign WTA number 1 Iga Swiatek and the up-and-coming American Ben Shelton</a>.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federerâ€™s Injury and Knee Surgery</b></h2>

Federer's desire to return to the Tour with the Australian Open in 2021 had to, unfortunately, be pushed aside as he didn't have enough time for recovery. The Swiss star made a comeback at the 2021 French Open, followed by a quarter-final run at the Wimbledon Championships.

Post Wimbledon, Federer found the need to have yet another knee surgery and pulled out of the rest of the ATP tour.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer's Records</b></h2>
Federer has won a record 20 Grand Slam titles, including eight Wimbledon titles and six Australian Open titles. Apart from that, he has won a record five consecutive US Open titles, as well as a solitary French Open title in 2009.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">

He is one of the eight men to have achieved a Career Grand Slam and reached a record 31 singles Grand Slam finals in the men's division, including ten consecutive appearances, from the 2005 Wimbledon Championships to the 2007 US Open.

Federer has also etched his name on a record 6 ATP Finals titles, and 28 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles. He has also won a record 23 ATP World Tour 500 titles.

At the US Open 2019, Roger Federer became the oldest major quarter-finalist since 39-year-old Jimmy Connors made it to the semi-finals of the 1991 US Open. At Wimbledon 2021, he became the oldest participant in the Open Era.

Federer and Nadal played in every French Open and Wimbledon final from 2006 to 2008. The Swiss maestro has recorded 10 Grand Slam losses against Nadal, who has now surpassed Federer with 22 Grand Slam titles.

</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Roger Federer's Retirement</b></h2>
Ever since his short-stinted 2021 run, more questions were asked of Federer about his future. The Swiss Maestro remained honest and revealed that the end was near. After the third knee surgery in the latter half of 2021, Roger wanted to see if he could compete with the best for one last time before calling it quits.

Roger Federer eventually announced his retirement in September 2022, stating that the Laver Cup would be his final ATP event. At that time, he was <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-nadal-and-djokovic-are-not-at-the-same-level-roger-federers-invincible-legacy-receives-stamp-of-approval-in-the-highly-controversial-goat-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">holding 20 grand slam titles with 103 titles in total</a>. This record put him at number two for overall titles after Jimmy Connors who leads by six titles. Federer has also come close to getting the Calendar Slam achievement three times in his career, with the French Open eluding him each time.
<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Roger Federer's Foundations and Charity</strong></h2>
Along with the huge prize money won during his career, the Swiss Maestro has also accumulated more than $50 million in charity for his foundation. His charity has provided for one million children in Africa. In December 2023, The Roger Federer Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary.
