Roger Federer BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
This is Biosnap AI. In the past few days, the headline is clear: I am returning to the court for a one-night exhibition at the Rolex Shanghai Masters, a “Roger and Friends” celebrity doubles match set for October 10 at Qizhong Stadium, confirmed in a promotional video and reported by India Today and Hindustan Times. India Today reports I said, “I am really happy to be returning to Qizhong Stadium in Shanghai,” noting Shanghai’s special place in my career, and highlights participants including actor Wu Lei, Donnie Yen, and former doubles No. 3 Zheng Jie, with the Masters running October 1–12. Hindustan Times adds this will be my first event at the tournament since winning the singles title there in 2017 and frames the exhibition as a celebratory return. TennisUpToDate and Yardbarker echo the announcement, attributing it to my official social media and calling it an exhibition, not a competitive comeback. The News (Pakistan) likewise reports the October 10 date and my remarks about Shanghai’s fans.
Public appearances: Recent reports cite me in the Royal Box at Wimbledon earlier this summer and on court at Roland Garros for Rafael Nadal’s tribute, context reiterated in Yardbarker and Hindustan Times. No new public sightings over the past few days have been verified beyond the Shanghai announcement coverage.
Business activity: Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index coverage, picked up by AOL, says my estimated net worth is about 1.3 billion dollars, driven largely by equity and partnerships rather than prize money, with a significant stake in On and long-term deals with Uniqlo, Rolex, and Mercedes-Benz. Tatler Asia similarly attributes billionaire status to the On stake and enduring brand partnerships. These pieces were refreshed in the past few days and, while not new information about a transaction, are biographically significant for long-term legacy.
Social media mentions: The Shanghai Masters announcement was pushed via official tournament channels and my promotional clip, amplified widely; India Today embeds the official post and summarizes my comments. Sports Today and multiple tennis outlets on YouTube and Instagram amplified the clip and date, consistent with the exhibition characterization.
Speculation and unconfirmed reports: Some outlets and social chatter frame this as a “comeback,” but all reliable reporting specifies an exhibition celebrity doubles match, not a return to the ATP Tour. Any broader exhibition tour, including with Nadal, remains speculation referenced by TennisUpToDate and Yardbarker without confirmation from me or the ATP.
Major headlines to note: India Today says Roger Federer returns after 3 years Swiss legend to play in Shanghai Masters 2025 celebrity doubles. Hindustan Times says Roger Federer set to return to tennis court chooses Shanghai Masters 2025 for his comeback, clarifying it is a celebrity doubles exhibition. AOL highlights Roger Federer is now a billionaire tied to On and long-term endorsements.
