Yes you can see it in the video, no it’s not washed like that you have the smell of Federer's sweat and his dna for authenticity

I'm interested in this French Open 2009 Champions Outfit and Racket...

Just wondering if Soderlings Racquet is included...

 

[beard]

And, just to add, great from Rodger...

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Roddick and Murray tennis legends?

 

[Enga]

He had all this stuff sitting around I bet. This is just spring cleaning.

[Krish872007]

I heard the racquet that won him the 2007 Wimbledon final is on sale
Wondering how much that would fetch!

 

[sureshs]

Dear Christie's,

I currently use Babolat (Pure Aero Rafa) so I will not be bidding on the Federer rackets.

I also prefer not to use clothes soiled by other people, so I will not be bidding on the outfits either.

Thank you.

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

I’ve sold my house to buy the 2009 FO kit and racquet, as they are dirty though and I dont have access to a washing machine, I am now naked and homeless. Thanks Rog

In all honesty, if I'm dishing out 50k-70k€ for this it better have blood, sweat, tears and clay from the Soderling Final lol

 

[prairiegirl]

I won't be buying these items, but it is a nice thing to do.

 

[BeatlesFan]

I won't be buying these items, but it is a nice thing to do.

I agree, and I can't imagine even the biggest Fed fans buying this stuff. $60,000 for a shirt? It's ludicrous.

He destroyed peak Soderling who in turn defeated peak Nadal.……hardly a vultured slam

Another record for Roger

More than £1.3m has been raised for The Roger Federer Foundation through a Christie’s auction of The Roger Federer Collection, with two of the 20 lots fetching more than £150,000 each.

Swiss tennis great Federer announced earlier this year that he would be put mementos under the hammer in two auctions – The Live Auction and The Online Auction – at Christie’s to raise money for The Roger Federer Foundation.

Christie’s were hoping The Live Auction would raise £1 million for The RF Foundation, but it exceeded those expectations as £1,329,375 was raised for the foundation, which empowers vulnerable children and provides educational resources to children in Africa and Switzerland.

Lot 13, which contained Roger Federer’s Champion Outfit and Racket, French Open, 2009 (estimate £50,000-£70,000) realised more than £150,000 while lot 10 – Roger Federer’s Champion Outfit and Racket, The Championships, Wimbledon 2007 – went for the same amount.

“I can hardly believe that the first 20 lots raised £1,329,375,000. I want to thank all those who bid for my sporting memorabilia and wish the buyers much joy with them,” 20-time Grand Slam winner Federer said.
“I feel very humbled by this first result today knowing the proceeds will allow additional projects that can be undertaken by The Roger Federer Foundation.”

The Online Auction, which includes 300 lots charting Federer’s career from the early days of the Sydney Olympics in 2000 to matches from 2021, opened on June 23 and will run until just after Wimbledon.


He added: “I now look forward to seeing the results from The Online Auction of my sporting memorabilia, which remains open for bidding until 13/14 July, and to playing in The Championships at Wimbledon.

Are they going to be selling these sweet pants?

Federer got trolled big time for this because he was wearing them the wrong way round

That’s basically what I’m doing here, but all in good fun. Anyone who wears their pants backwards in public deserves a little light banter headed their way, Roger included.
