It is an amazing honor for our Swiss Maestro. He has trained there in his younger days and it was here that he picked up French since he only used to speak Swiss German; he has a special place in his heart as he also met his wife Mirka here for the first time. As it is widely known, they officially became a couple years later at the Sydney Olympics where they even shared a kiss.

Roger Federer will play in Madrid next; his fans will be hoping for him go all the way in Madrid.
