Rosher Federer’s gift to Diego Schwartzman – Find out why Rosher and not Roger – Diego Schwartzman reveals why Roger Federer wrote ‘Rosher’ on the tennis racquet he gifted him at The Laver Cup.
Diego Schwartzman was one among the lucky few present during Roger Federer’s retirement at the Laver Cup and got a chance to experience a memorable farewell for the Swiss legend. Schwartzman, who was a part of Team World at the 2022 Laver Cup, received a special gift from Federer and revealed a joke behind the same.
The Argentine tennis star has been a fan of the former World No. 1 for an extended time and has expressed his admiration for him time and again. As Federer was set to bid goodbye to the game at the Laver Cup, Schwartzman asked him for one among his racquets as a souvenir.
The 20-time slam champion obliged and signed the racquet as ‘Rosher’ before handing it to Schwartzman. During a recent interview with Punto de Break, the 30-year-old revealed that he and his fellow Argentine players pronounce Roger differently thanks to their accent and that often makes Federer laugh, which is why he signed the racquet as ‘Rosher’ rather than ‘Roger.’
Schwartzman further revealed that he indeed exchanged racquets with Swiss great, who promised that he would soon use Schwartzman’s racquet during one among his friendly matches.
Schwartzman and therefore the rest of his Team World teammates carried the eight-time Wimbledon champion on their shoulders during his emotional farewell at the Laver Cup to applaud his achievements in the sport of tennis.

Needless to say, the Swiss maestro has, with this revelation, also ruled himself out of this year’s edition of the US Open.
Roger Federer first got his right knee injured during the 2020 Australian Open, for which he underwent surgery. The 20-time grand slam champion then suffered a setback within a couple of months of recuperation, which required a 2nd procedure.
After that it took Federer several months to regain his fitness, and he made his return at the Qatar Open this year. Everything appeared to be going good for the Swiss over the next couple of months, but he injured the knee again during his Wimbledon quarterfinal defeat to Hubert Hurkacz.
Now it is obvious that the damage is much more severe than most people initially imagined. Federer stated in his video that he would require to be on props for “many weeks” after the surgery, essentially ruling him out for a lengthy period.
No reason why Roger Federer won’t come back after a 3rd knee surgery, he still has the “will and energy” to keep playing: Marc Rosset
Former Olympic champion Marc Rosset is of the opinion that Roger Federer’s return to the tour centers on how well his third surgery goes. Rosset reckons that Federer surpassed hopes at Wimbledon and that he still has the yearning to keep playing and winning. In short Roger is not done yet!

Tournament director of Rotterdam and former Wimbledon champion Krajicek is confident that Federer will comeback to professional tennis in March at the tournament that takes place in Doha.
Krajicek had hoped his Rotterdam tournament would be the one that welcomed Roger Federer back to competitive tennis after over a year out with a knee injury, but he now seems to think he has missed out as Doha in March looks like a greater possibility.
“I think I know he will play in Doha (March 8), the week after Rotterdam,” Krajicek said of Federer. “But if he’s fit and ready to play, we’ll hear from him,” said Richard Krajicek.
Krajicek had earlier seemed confident of Federer agreeing to play Rotterdam, and cited his special connection with the event after becoming the oldest ever world number one there in 2018.
“Roger Federer knows that he is well received in Rotterdam,” Kraijcek said earlier this month. “With the Big Three, you hope that the manager will contact you to tell you that they want to play here, but I can drop an email just in case. “I cannot consider Federer’s appearance a guarantee. I am aware that it may be too early for Federer to make a commitment just yet.”
