Old Boys Basel

Roger played an exhibition match at Old Boys against Marco Chiudinelli this Friday, 22nd April, 2005. The weather was absolutely perfect and Roger enjoyed playing and joking in front of his home crowd, taking home the match 7:6, 6:4.

 

As a gift Roger received something he had not owned until then: a center-court carrying his name. The sign was unveiled after the match against Marco.

 

It was also great fun for Roger to answer questions from the local juniors, which he found both funny and different to what he is used to.

 

 

At 8 years Roger became a member of the tennis club ‘Old Boys’ in Basel (Switzerland), where he managed to rise among the best national players of his age under the guidance of Seppli Kacovsky.

 

Now it was time to give something back to 'Old Boys' and so Roger was part of a big event with show matches, tennis clinics, junior events, party and much more.
