In a statement released by the ITHF, Federer said that being selected for the Hall of Fame is a great honor and that joining a group filled with tennis legends is deeply meaningful to him.
The Swiss icon was known for his long-standing rivalries with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, forming the era’s famous “Big Three.” Federer added that he has always appreciated the sport’s history and looks forward to traveling to Newport next August to celebrate the occasion with the tennis world.
