rogerfederer.com - Winner of the |letter-writing competition

It's a great letter. It's a fan letter, but also contains a little story -- a nice display of Marios's imagination! And also contains important messages about positivity, self belief and fair play. It is great to have such a contest to encourage young people to write, especially with all the tweeting and texting these days; many kids have terrible language and literacy skills because they no longer even use sentences!

Anyways, Roger, you should write back to him! :)

What a beautiful and moving letter from Marios. He has got to the heart of what makes a champion, our champion. It is beautifully written from the heart, and reflects everything we fans love about Roger.

Congrats Marios! Very nice letter!

Congrats Marios! Very nice letter!

Oh, what a wonderful & touching letter from one remarkable young man to another remarkable young man. Well done & congratulations to Marios! Thank you for sharing it with all of us, Rog. We 'thousands' (rather millions!) of RF fans feel similarly to young Marios.

See what a tremendous influence & terrific example you are, Roger?! It's true among the young as well as the old.

Can't stop smiling... makes my day when something so sweet, heartfelt & meaningful is shared so delightfully!

Congrats Marios! Very nice letter!

Congradulations Marios, a moving letter!. Likewise thoughts as FED4EVA.

Congratulations, Marios! What a beautiful and creative letter!

Tu Roger, no solo eres la inspiracion para todos los fans al rededor del mundo. que te queremos y admiramos por ser el mejor tenista de todos los tiempos sino porque eres un ejemplo como ser humano.
Gracias por todo lo que nos has dado y que nos daras por muchos anos mas.
Que Dios te cuide siempre.

Lovely letter by Marios! Roger you impact so many lives around the world in ways you wouldn't even imagine. It goes far beyond your ability as a tennis player because as great as your achievements in tennis are, they are but a fragment of how great you are as a human being. I thank God for putting you on this earth and granting me the privelege of living life in a time when you exist. All the best today against Stan !
