On his website Federer said, “It is a great feeling to be celebrating my birthday with my family here in Canada. I am excited to compete again these days after having spent several weeks preparing intensely for the second half of the 2010-season. Thank you so much for all your kind messages and wonderful gifts that I have received these past days and continue to receive today. This really motivates me as I can see how much my passion for tennis also means to you. I would like to thank you all for your loyalty over all these years – let’s hope for many more to come!”

As a 28-year-old, Federer won just two titles at the 2009 Cincinnati and the 2010 Australian Open.

Federer is the second oldest player in the current ATP top ten behind fellow 29-year-old Nikolay Davydenko.

Federer is a two-time Canadian Open champion winning both titles in Toronto in 2006 and 2004. He lost in the quarterfinals last year to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and in the 2nd RD in 2008 to Gilles Simon.

We wish him many years on the tennis circuit.
