Who kidnapped Roger Federer? No, nobody, in real life! And luckily! This is the title of Italian writer Piero Valesio’s new sports thriller novel, which was published on June 2nd by Abosolutely Free.
The original title is: Chi ha rapito Roger Federer? (Who kidnapped Roger Federer? – Editor’s note), and it’s set in Rome in 2040, when the Internazionali will play BNL d’Italiain a world where even the climate of the city hosting the tournament has radically changed.
As the Italian news agency ANSA reports, the plot of the novel is very specific: “All sport on the planet is in the hands of transnational organizations that are at war with each other: and Roger could have the task of creating a new page of cooperation between the warring subjects pitch.
But something will go wrong and it’s up to a budding journalist and a police commissioner to solve the mystery. The book is a mystery in the field of sports, in which the protagonists move in a mixture of reality and fiction that has the power to predict a possible future.
A world where the huge and ridiculous egos of limitless potentates battle each other in often hilarious ways.”

Here’s the roundup of the twenty-time Grand Slam winner! How do you feel? What do you miss the most as a player? “I feel great today. What I miss the most is having an impromptu dinner off the pitch with friends after a game or training session.
And of course the big stadiums, the fans and the excitement surrounding tennis.” When will you come back? “I never really went away.” Will you coach tennis? “I’m already a parent coach, which isn’t easy, but I love it and enjoy every minute.” What do you enjoy most since retiring from professional tennis and what do you miss the most? “There were a lot of little things that I didn’t realize were causing me so much stress until they went away, which is really nice.
It was like a load was lifted off my shoulders.” Who will be the next ATP player to win his first Grand Slam? “Hmmm…who do you want me to take the pressure and stress off of?” Are you planning to do tennis commentary on TV and want to join the BBC at this Wimbledon? “I will not comment this year.” Are you planning a demonstration tour in South America? “I would love to do that in the future and if so, it would be great to go back to South America.” (QUESTION FROM IVAN LJUBICIC) Who is your favorite Croatian coach with no hair and one-handed backhand? “Give me a few hours to browse the history books and I’ll answer you!” Your favorite game against Rafa Nadal?
