On May 19, 2002, the 20-year-old finished Roger Federer in the final of the Masters tournament in Hamburg against the Russians Marat Safin 6: 1, 6: 3, 6: 4 and thus improved to eighth place in the world rankings. For the Swiss, it was the third title in his young career at the time – 100 more were to follow to this day. What all that with Philip For example has to do? Well, the Grazer saw the light of day like the superstar on August 8th – only 20 years later. Today the Styrian, like Federer, is 20 years old and has now celebrated his greatest success to date by winning the Challenger tournament in Zagreb. And that as a qualifier!
