Roger Federer

"I am just concerned about where my game is at. The guys are back on Tour in a good rhythm, the level everyone is producing is great. I want to achieve that again too," the Swiss, who has played just two matches this year due to injury, said on Monday. The 39-year-old winner of 20 Grand Slam titles said that though things were going well for him in practice, he still needed to play some matches to get back to prime fitness.

To celebrate the tennis great's achievements, Federer's home country, Switzerland, is pondering postponing the National Day by a week -- to August 8, 2021 -- the day Federer turns 40. And, the people taking the lead are the Swiss parliamentarians. The nation is keen to honour the legend and former world No. 1 by giving a gift, which no country in the world would have given its sporting hero.
