WONDERFUL! Basel Trams Embrace Roger Federer’s Unforgettable Grand Slam Moments
Former World No. 1 Roger Federer is one of the best players to have ever graced a tennis court. The success earned by him over the years has made him one of the most popular athletes on the planet. The Basel born superstar is called ‘The Swiss Maestro’ by his fans across the world.
Recently, huge posters of Roger Federer were spotted on trams in his hometown. In front of those pictures on the tram, the man himself posed with a delightful smile.
The pictures of the 20-time Grand Slam winner were of him winning titles at the Australian Open, Wimbledon Championships, and the US Open.

Being one of the most popular Swiss exports ever, after perhaps chocolates and watches, one can certainly say he deserves this new role.
Coming on to tennis, Federer ended his season after the Wimbledon loss. He released a statement in which he revealed that he would be missing tennis for a while after being required to undergo third knee surgery in 12 months.

However, he did surprise fans when he decided to make an appearance for the Laver Cup 2021. Although he came on crutches, he made it a point to lighten up the environment with his presence. We hope to see him competing against the top players in the game and return healthy soon.
