2004 European Player of the Year

Roger received the European Player of the Year for 2004 by the European ATP Tournament Directors at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament on Tuesday. It's the second year in a row he was presented the award, a Waterford Crystal engraved trophy.

 

The ATP European Player of the Year Award is based on diverse criteria such as the final INDESIT ATP Race position of the player, attitude towards media and sponsors, cooperation and support of the European events.

 

The World No. 1 player was presented the award by Patrice Dominguez, ATP Board Member and Tournament Director at the ATP tournament in Metz, France, and Horst Klosterkemper, ATP President and Managing Director, Europe.

 

Roger: "I'd like to thank the European Tournament Directors for liking me so much... It's a pleasure to play in Europe, when I go to a tournament I always try to do my best on and off the court. This award is fantastic, it's something that goes a little bit beyond my forehands and backhands and for this reason I would like to say thank you. I hope I can live up to everybody's expectations again."
