ROGER FEDERER AND THE ROGER FEDERER STORY, QUEST FOR PERFECTION ACHIEVE VICTORY
IN GREAT BRITAIN

Federer Wins Historic Fifth Straight Wimbledon Men’s Singles Title

The Roger Federer Story, Quest for Perfection Is U.K.’s No. 1 Tennis Book

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Roger Federer, and the first U.S. published book about him,
The Roger Federer Story, Quest for Perfection, both achieved victory in Great
Britain as the 2007 Wimbledon Championships concluded Sunday.

Federer’s epic 7-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2 win over Rafael Nadal Sunday at
Wimbledon gave him his fifth consecutive Wimbledon men’s singles title,
equaling the record set by Bjorn Borg from 1976-1980.

The Roger Federer Story, Quest for Perfection, launched during The
Championships, finished the fortnight as the No. 1 ranked tennis book in the
United Kingdom, according to www.amazon.co.uk. The book, published by New
Chapter Press, is now available in bookstores in the United States and Britain
as the Swiss tennis champion now attempts his run at American tennis history.
Federer will look to become the first man to win four straight US Open singles
titles in New York in September.

The Roger Federer Story, Quest for Perfection was written by Rene Stauffer, the
esteemed Swiss tennis journalist who has covered Federer since the budding
tennis champion was a 15-year-old. The book chronicles Federer’s life as
tempermental junior player, through his early struggles on the ATP Tour and his
break-through win at Wimbledon in 2003 concluding with his 10th Grand Slam title
at the Australian Open earlier this year. The book also focuses on his values,
how he has been marketed, his relationship with the media as well as his
numerous charitable pursuits.

The Wimbledon champ’s mother, Lynette Federer, uses the German version as an
encyclopedia on her son’s career. “It’s useful for me, because I often am
asked about things and I don’t know for sure without checking,” she told
Zurich’s Tages-Anzeiger. “Now, I will always know where I can look them
up.”

“When I first saw Roger Federer play tennis when he was a 15-year-old, I
didn’t think that I would even write his name in my newspaper, let alone a
book about him,” said Stauffer, who opens the book with his “Encounter with
a 15-year-old” chapter when on Sept. 11, 1996, he first came upon Federer at
the World Youth Cup tennis event in Zurich. “I am very happy I wrote this
book, since a lot of readers told me that they find it very entertaining and
educational about Roger and his career.”

Stauffer is one of the world’s leading tennis journalists and the
highly-respected tennis correspondent for Zurich’s Tages-Anzeiger and
Sonntags-Zeitung. A sports writer since 1981, Stauffer worked for the Swiss
newspapers Blick and Sport, before joining Tages-Anzeiger in 1993. After first
writing about Federer in 1996, Stauffer has traveled the world covering Federer
and his many triumphs.
