As we celebrate the intersection of technology and sports, we're honored to pay tribute to one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Roger Federer, who has been nominated for induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame's class of 2026.

A Legendary Career

Federer's remarkable career is a testament to his dedication, skill, and passion for the sport. With an attacking, all-court style and footwork that seemed effortless, he won 103 trophies and 1,251 matches in singles, surpassing Jimmy Connors' totals in the Open era. Federer finished five seasons at No. 1 in the ATP rankings, spent a record 237 consecutive weeks in that spot, and led Switzerland to the 2014 Davis Cup title.

Grand Slam Dominance

At the height of his powers, Federer reached a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals from 2005-07, capturing eight titles in that span. He extended this dominance by making 18 of 19 major finals into 2010, showcasing his remarkable consistency and ability to adapt to different surfaces and opponents.

A Career Spanning Decades

Federer's last match at Wimbledon was in 2021, when he was a month shy of 40 years old. He played out the string with an appearance alongside Rafael Nadal in doubles at the Laver Cup, an event founded by his management company. Federer's retirement announcement didn't come until the following year.

Notable Nominees

Federer is joined on the ballot by two-time major singles champion Svetlana Kuznetsova and 2009 U.S. Open winner Juan Martin del Potro. The contributor category features TV announcer Mary Carillo and administrator Marshall Happer. The inductees will be announced in November.
