There are many gestures made by the Swiss tennis player that remain branded in the history of fans and the various initiatives of recent years. The last of these came a few days ago with Roger Federer, who was in the mind of an older Belgian woman.

To beautify her birthday, which arrived on Christmas Day, his family, together with the Belgian newspaper Nieuwsblad, tried in every way to contact the Swiss champion, as one of the woman’s granddaughters, Victoria Campenhout, explained: “We have several social networks- Made calls and sent him photos and a video of my grandmother watching his games at the nursing home.
We actually have a lot of them. In addition, we then wrote to the Swiss Tennis Association. “The answer came immediately and Roger Federer sent a small and special gift to the old people’s home, spiced with a letter for the centenarian woman, who commented on the Swiss gesture as follows:” This thought made the day even more pleasant.
I can’t believe Roger Federer wrote this note just for me. Tennis gave me really good moments, I met my husband at the tennis club. ”
