Whether you like tennis or not, I believe no one will hate this most elegant tennis king who has worked hard for many years through sweat and hard work.

When I was a child, Federer liked sports very much and would touch any ball.
Basketball, football, handball and billiards are all right. They will play badminton across the fence of the neighbors. They will play squash with their father on weekends, and also learn about skiing, boxing , swimming and skateboarding.
As an adult Federer believes that it is precisely because he has been exposed to various exercises in a large amount of time when he is young that he can exercise his athletic ability and coordination between his hands and eyes.
The parents did not force him to focus on which kind of exercise he had to focus on, but just encouraged him to try it from multiple sources.
Mother doesn't even want to play tennis with Federer because he always tries weird ways of playing and never follows the rules.
Federer was once favored to become a football player. It was not until he was 8 years old that he fell in love with the sport of tennis and decided to focus on development.
html When he was 19 years old, Federer met the first Bo Le in his life and the enlightenment mentor of his career - Peter Carter (Peter Carter).

At that time, Carter was the star of the tennis world. In order to supplement the game costs, he came to the tennis club in Basell to coach.
He knew the keen eyes and soon discovered Federer's tennis talent and actively trained with him.
However, Federer, who was adolescent, was completely different from his current elegant image. He couldn't control his emotions and often swear words, smashed and roared .
is Carter patiently guiding him, teaching him how to resist pressure, and learning the gentlemanly attitude that players should have, and giving his opponent basic politeness and respect.
Carter taught the young Federer to polish a smooth play, like a lightning forehand pat, and an elegant and chic SLR that expands the defense range while expanding.
Federer is often asked by reporters about the deepest influence of Carter on him. He always answers what Carter said: "Don't waste your talent because of temper (Don't waste your talent because of anger)."
This sentence deeply inspired Federer, allowing him to maintain stable stress resistance and on-the-spot performance in future competitions.
At the age of 14, Federer entered the National Tennis Training Center for professional training.

The rebelliousness of going through adolescence, Federer tried to settle himself and began to step onto a bigger stage.
In 2001, he used a forward shot of the bottom line to hit the ball back to the opposite bottom line. The white and yellow ball passed through the opponent's defense along the side line. The final point of the game made 19-year-old Federer kneel down and shout, his eyes red because he had just defeated his idol, American star Pete Sampras, and Federer became famous in his battle.

However, 12 months later, he was eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon.
What's worse is that Federer also has to learn to bear the bad news of his mentor Carter's death.
In 2002, Carter was in a car accident while on his honeymoon in South Africa and was immediately taken away.
The moment he heard the news, Federer happened to be in Canada competition. He collapsed and ran out of the hotel and ran all the way through the streets of Toronto .
Once the genius bad boy with a high heart grew up overnight and transformed into a mature and restrained man.
In 2003, Federer won the first Wimbledon championship in his career, and he dedicated it to Carter in honor of his tribute.

After that, every year at Australia Open , Federer will book first-class air tickets, hotels and VIP boxes for Carter's parents in advance to let them come to watch the competition, which has also become a story in the tennis world for many years.
Until Carter was interviewed in 2019, Federer still couldn't help but burst into tears,
"I miss him so much, I hope he will be proud of me.
He won't want me to waste my talent, so since then I really started working hard, and the story behind it. My current football skills are all from his training back then."
It is undoubtedly one of the best luck for an athlete to meet the right coach at the right time.

Looking back on his highlight moments, I believe many fans can know it as they are, but behind his glory, there was a period of time that made him suffer from public pressure.
After the Wimbledon competition in 2012, and during the French Open in 2017, this period can be regarded as the "dark time" of Federer's workplace career.
The emergence of former football king Novak Djokovic has repeatedly blocked Federer's championship journey in just a few years.

At that time, many people questioned Federer: "Does really need to rest for such a long time after knee injury? "
During the healing period, Federer also spent most of his time with his family, staying with his wife and two twin children, and enjoying a rare parent-child time outside the competition.

External doubts were terminated in 2017.
This year, Federer has survived unimaginable rehabilitation and public pressure, and won his first championship after his comeback at the age of 35, who is no longer the peak of professional players.
