Ben Shelton is managed by Federer’s TEAM8 Agency and wears shoes and clothes from the company. The American has been peaking in recent times as he continues to show his true potential in the world of tennis.

As the reign of Novak continues, other players are not able to show their true potential, and despite that, Ben Shelton has won the hearts of many fans, including Robert Federer.

Robert Federer continues to deal with fan mail even after his son’s retirement

The father of the Swiss legend, Roger Federer, revealed to Blick that he still receives a lot of fan mail for his son even after retirement. He said:

Roger Federer still has a huge fan base for his remarkable contributions to the sport. Both on and off the court, the Swiss has shown his respect for the sport and has been a part of it in any way that he can.

The final matches of the Swiss’s career came at 2021 Wimbledon, where he suffered an upset and, of course, the infamous Laver’s Cup game with Rafael Nadal, which will always be seen as the most emotional moment in the history of tennis.

The father also revealed that he is up to date with the Swiss headliners and is still in touch with the sport. Roger has now transitioned to his retirement life but is also slowly venturing into the business field while also contributing to the sport.
