Belinda Bencic (tennis professional)
«The whole tennis world misses Roger and his tennis. Everyone is sad that he hasn’t been around for so long. And like everyone else, I hope for his return. At the moment in Australia a lot reminds me of him. The time together at the Hopman Cup remains a great memory. I very much hope that I will have the opportunity to play with him again this year (Olympia… editor’s note). “

Vreni Schneider (ski legend)
«I can hardly imagine tennis without Roger, I really sympathize with him. Before Christmas I met him at the Sports Awards. He’s so fascinating. After the show, nobody went home, everyone still talked to each other – with a mask and distance, of course. It was morning. I think Pirmin and Roger were the last to leave. And I have to admit: I had weak knees next to him on stage. “

Berni Schär (Radio Reporter)
“I miss Roger all the more because after 40 years on Swiss radio I couldn’t say goodbye before I retire at the end of April. In total, I was allowed to do exactly 735 individual interviews with him, an average of 30 per year. The first in Gstaad in 1998, the last after his semi-final defeat in 2019 at the ATP Finals against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Then it was done. And I’ve missed the descriptions of the exciting moments with Roger since then. And of course also the interpersonal. To be with Roger, to sit face to face with a big star – even if only for three minutes – is a passionate moment for everyone. “

Andy Schmid (Handball-Nationalspieler)
“On the one hand, I miss Roger as a fan when I cheer for the TV. On the other hand, I also get inspiration from Roger. It sets the standard for how you can still achieve top performance at an advanced age. We are both in the autumn of our careers, he is even two years older than me. He moves very economically, pays attention to regeneration and gives his body the necessary breaks. It is precisely because he controls the load so consciously that we can be optimistic about his comeback. “

Doris Löffel (Fan of the Club Fans4Roger)
«It’s been a strange year without even seeing our idol live! The anticipation of a tournament was gone, it was only watched marginally. Yes, tennis has almost become a minor matter – although it was such a big part of our lives before.
–
We from the fan club not only miss the great tennis game by Roger and the moments when we can maybe see him or even speak to him after a training session or match. We also miss the meetings with other Federer fans, with whom we always have fun. To cheer on Roger together with other fans, the cheering and tugging of hair, the nervousness, the boundless joy after his victories, to celebrate them together or to comfort and cheer each other after defeats – it’s all very important to us. “

Heinz Günthardt (TV expert)
«As a player, I had it every day, this rush that releases the adrenaline. This indescribable feeling of happiness after mastering a delicate situation. I couldn’t get enough of that. After my professional career, Steffi Graf made sure that I got my fix. And after Steffi, Roger began to turn the tennis world upside down. I was there again – this time in the reporter’s booth. My hands got wet, I couldn’t stay seated, sometimes my voice trembled. And then after the Australian Open 2020 it suddenly became very quiet in my life. The days lapped by. I realize: I am an addict. Withdrawal makes me bored, I need my fix. But where should it come from? Will it ever be the same as before? Is there one last hurray from Roger? ”

Roman Josi (NHL-Star)
“As a Swiss citizen, I am repeatedly asked about Roger Federer in the USA. Because I feel that the Americans envy me that I have such a brilliant compatriot, I also like to ‘plop’ here with Roger. That is why he will not only miss me at this Australian Open, but also many North Americans. “

Andrea Gaudenzi (ATP-Boss)
«Roger, we miss you! We hope to see you play on a court on the ATP Tour again very soon – and the fans can’t wait to see you in action again. My best wishes for a full recovery. A presto! “

Stefan Bührer (SRF commentator)
“In 2020 we were able to prepare for what it will be like without Roger Federer. It felt strange – kind of like a Rolling Stones concert with only the opening act. No fans, no Federer – I just don’t want to get used to it. Therefore: To one last hurray from the maestro and to the fact that he casts us all under its spell with his elegance! “
