Roger Federer BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Roger Federer spent the past week fully back in the international spotlight, blending his stature as a tennis icon, cultural ambassador, and global celebrity. According to the ATP Tour, Federer made headlines with his return to centre court at the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters, thrilling fans in an exhibition at Qi Zhong Stadium. He teamed up with martial arts star Donnie Yen to best Zheng Jie and actor Wu Lei in a lighthearted but competitive match featuring three tiebreaks. Federer praised the Chinese actors for their passion and preparation, emphasizing the importance of sports for happiness and everyday life. Social buzz was immediate, with clips and images of Federer on Shanghai courts lighting up platforms such as Threads and Weibo.

His Shanghai tour also included business appearances. Sports Illustrated confirmed that Federer partnered with the Swiss brand On to host a "Thanks For Playing" grassroots tennis event and unveil renovated local courts, underscoring his ongoing commitment to the sport’s growth. Federer's arrival in Shanghai was itself notable—Rolex Shanghai Masters media posted that the tournament director personally escorted him at the airport, reflecting his enduring star power.

Just days after Shanghai, Federer continued his global journey with a headline-grabbing return to Seoul, his first visit to Korea in 18 years, reported by MK Sports. There, he joined food influencer Napoli Matfia at the iconic Gwangjang Market for a widely shared “kimbap tour.” Images of Federer sampling local cuisine and signing tennis rackets went viral, with fans and YouTube personalities expressing envy and admiration on social channels. The social media response was instant, with Instagram and YouTube comments celebrating Federer’s humility and approachability.

Federer’s visit didn't stop at sightseeing. Joining Uniqlo's "World Tour with Roger Federer" event at The Shilla Seoul, he held court with young Korean players, sharing advice on nerves and life, fielding questions, and posing for group photos. The campaign continued his tradition of youth engagement, drawing praise for its mix of inspiration and practicality.

Away from the court, Federer’s business and net worth continue to be newsworthy. The Times of India and Forbes both updated his fortune at an estimated 1.1 billion dollars, highlighting his equity in On Running, as well as deals with major brands such as Uniqlo, Rolex, Mercedes-Benz, and Wilson. Federer frequently returns to headlines for his financial acumen and marketability, with Forbes noting he is just one of seven athletes ever to top a billion in career earnings while remaining active in sports business.

Meanwhile, Times of India fueled speculation among tennis fans by mentioning reports of a potential “Fedal Tour” with old rival Rafael Nadal, perhaps the only item in the week’s coverage remaining unconfirmed but eagerly anticipated.

In sum, Federer’s week was one of rare global reach even by his own high standards: Shanghai centre court heroics, Seoul street food adventures, influential sponsor events, viral social media moments, and another round of headlines about his billionaire business empire—all adding new layers to his enduring legend.
