Roger Federer 11/7/2009 Swiss Indoors Semi-Finals Match Worn Nike Air Zoom Vapor Tennis Shoes.
Tennis icon Roger Federer won his first Grand Slam singles title at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships, beginning a superlative run that saw the Swiss superstar win an incredible 20 Grand Slam singles titles. Federer exhibited an all-encompassing mastery of tennis, including his triumph at the 2009 French Open, winning on every playing surface possible. Universally admired among tennis fans and players, Federer spent 310 weeks as the No. 1 ranked player on the ATP Tour. His retirement in 2022 heralded a seismic shift in the world of professional tennis. Federer entered the 2009 campaign with 13 Grand Slams, and it is one of the most important in his career, as he won his first French Open title and a men's record 15th Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon, finishing the season as the top-seeded player in the world for the fifth time in this career.
Federer wore these Nike 12 Nike Air Zoom Vapor 6 Tour sneakers during his semifinal match during the Davidoff Swiss Indoors Tournament on Nov. 7th, 2009, at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, against fellow Swiss tennis star Marco Chiudinelli, winning in two sets. The sneakers feature the iconic Nike "swoosh" logo, and "RF" appears on the back heel of each sneaker. The sneakers feature a white, obsidian, and mahogany colorway and display moderate evidence of use. Federer penned his flowing signature in black marker across the outstep of each sneaker.
