Former world number one Roger Federer received a heroic reception
at the Sporthilfe Super10Kampf event.
The event was organised at the Hallenstadion in Zurich,
Switzerland where the legendary tennis star made a surprising appearance and
delighted the 12,000 audience sitting in the arena.
Federer also went on to give a little speech where he
expressed delight for being able to attend the event. "It just occurred to
me, what a mistake it was that I wasn't here sooner,” he said.
He also went on to speak to young athletes and gave them an
encouraging message by stating: "You’ve made it this far and now it’s
really getting started for you. Of course financial support is essential, but
it’s also about showing that you believe in a talent. This form of support
gives an athlete a wonderful feeling. Especially at the beginning of a career,
you can achieve a lot with this sponsorship.”
Federer is often regarded as one of the greatest players in
the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won 20 Grand Slam
titles in his career.

- From Day One, legalizing Sports Betting was never going to end well (for The Sport... not the thousands who lose their livelihoods and bank accounts). We're not even close to the end of the damage this is causing.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
