Federer wins Fans' Favorite Award for 19th time at ATP Awards

Roger Federer has been voted as the winner of the Fans' Favorite Award at the 2021 ATP Awards, an accolade the Swiss has run away with for the 19th consecutive year.

Federer made his return to the ATP Tour at Doha in March, following two arthroscopic right knee surgeries in 2020. The former World No.1 made a run to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon this June, before falling to Hubert Hurkacz.

“The crowds were amazing,” said Federer after the match. “The ovation was fantastic. I loved it. That's why I play. That's why I still play now.”
