Roger Federer Hits an Ace Off the Tennis Court

Roger Federer champion of a U.S. open again? Wow that's interesting because he is the winner of 7 Grand Slams and the number one tennis player in the world and he is only 24 years old. Roger Federer although he is the best player in the world he is not also good in the tennis court but also outside because in the year 2003 he established a foundation called "The Roger Federer Foundation" who helps the disadvantage young people to play sports. This foundation is located in South Africa where his mother was raised. On April 3, 2006 the UNICEF declared Roger Federer a goodwill ambassador. Roger Federer says that when he was only 3 years old he made his first hit and while he grew up he played soccer and tennis but when he was 12 years old he had to decide in playing soccer or playing tennis and he decided playing tennis and when he was 14 years old he joined the tennis center and when he was 17 years old he won the Wimbledon tournament and so on his career began.
