A writer and tennis player seeks insights and inspiration by
traveling across Switzerland in the footsteps of Roger Federer.
Roger Federer could live anywhere in the world, but he always
returns to the place he loves most: Switzerland. Dave Seminara is a
mad traveler and tennis lifer who has written about Federer for The
New York Times and other publications. A pair of autoimmune
diseases and a knee surgery kept Dave from playing tennis for
years, but as he inched toward recovery, he had a bright idea: why
not start his tennis comeback on hallowed ground-courts that his
hero Roger Federer graced in Switzerland. Footsteps of Federer is a
funny, novella-length account of Seminara's travels across seven
Swiss cantons in search of insights into Federer's character, which
is inextricably linked to his deep roots in, and love for, his
country. Seminara timed his unique pilgrimage to the 2019 Swiss
Indoors, where he had a chance to ask Roger a number of offbeat
questions before and after Federer hoisted his record tenth title
there. Seminara's Federer pilgrimage took him to Switzerland's most
important abbey, where he prayed with Abbot Urban Federer; to the
vineyard of Jakob Federer from Berneck, where the Federer clan
originated from; to the stunning villa where Roger and Mirka were
married; and to many of the neighborhoods and tennis clubs where
Roger has lived and trained at over the years. Earphones Award
Winner.
