From effortless forehands to red-carpet fame—and everything in between—Federer tells the story of a life like no other, in a way only Assouline can. The first visual biography on Roger Federer—produced over two years in close collaboration with the tennis legend himself and his wife, Mirka—offers readers a sweeping look into Roger’s private moments, personality, and record-breaking career. Featuring never-before-published photographs and memorabilia from his childhood as well as snaps from Roger's and Mirka’s own camera rolls, the book also includes handwritten insights from Roger that intimately capture his journey on and off the court.
A part of the proceeds of FEDERER will benefit the Roger Federer Foundation, supporting childhood educational projects in Southern Africa and Switzerland.
