Federer was four years old when his childhood idol, Boris Becker won his first Wimbledon title in 1985. From then on, he watched all the tennis matches on television. Looking back at his childhood, he recalls, “I liked tennis the best of all sports. It was always exciting and winning or losing was always in my hands.”
