Today is
Roger Federer day as the Swiss tennis icon has turned 40 years of age and several players congratulated him for it.
If you asked Roger Federer if he is happy turning 40 he probably would not show a lot of enthusiasm but a storied career that has spanned over two decades has given many tennis fans a lot of joy. Federer himself has seen a lot of success with his 103 titles but and there probably are not many regrets.
Several players have joined in the fun and congratulated Roger Federer his 40th birthday. The video reel posted by the ATP Tour official Instagram page has congratulations from Djokovic, Medvedev, Nishikori,
Felix Auger-Aliassime,
Jannik Sinner, Grigor Dimitrov,
Cameron Norrie and
Taylor Fritz.
Federer has impacted all of those tennis players and several of them have been straightforward in calling him their idol and modelling their games after him. Medvedev said:
"Hey, Roger. Happy Birthday. Forty is a big number but hopefully, you can play for 40 more. What you have achieved is amazing and still playing at forty I wish everyone that. Have a good one."
