Birthday

Dear fans

Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada! Another year has passed and it is a great honour to still be leading the world rankings in tennis, being healthy, having a great team by my side and terrific fans around the whole world.

My birthday is definitely a special occasion as I receive all your greetings in the shape of letters, pictures, cards and presents from all corners of the world. I would like to thank you for these creative gifts in dozens of languages with all my heart. One could hardly ask for more beautiful gestures.

We were heading for 80’000 registered users on my website exactly a year ago. Today the counter stands at over 130’000! Thank you for your interest and your loyalty throughout the entire year. It really means a lot to me.

I’ll be celebrating my birthday this evening with Mirka and some friends here in Montreal. Thanks to Mirka, I already had the pleasure of partying together with many friends and my family end of last week. She had promised me a romantic dinner just for the two of us – but it turned out to be a lot different. As we entered the restaurant a crowd of over 30 persons greeted us with a loud ‘Happy Birthday’. It was an enormous surprise and a wonderful evening as well as farewell that Mirka had organised for me. We are, after all, away from home for five weeks.

Once again, a huge ‘thank you’ to all of you, you guys are world-class!

Yours, Roger
