From http://www.atpworldtour.com/Fans/Fan-Favorite/Fan-Favourite.aspx

Roger Federer was formally recognized for his triumphant return to the top spot in men’s tennis on Wednesday [2/17/2010], as the 2009 ATP World Tour Awards were announced.

The 28-year-old superstar collected Player of the Year, the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award and ATPWorldTour.com Fans' Favorite Player of the Year presented by RICOH honors. Federer was named Player of the Year for the fifth time after finishing as ATP World Tour Champion and his fellow players voted him with the sportsmanship award for a record sixth consecutive year, surpassing Edberg, who was a five-time recipient over eight years. In a poll of fans, Federer was voted ATPWorldTour.com Fans' Favorite for the seventh straight season.

Video from Roger's Visit to Ethiopia

Roger gets emotional in Ethiopia

Roger just hit up Ethiopia to see what his charity's been up to down there.

From Facebook:

"Here is a shot from today when I visited the project i support in Ethiopia. It was touching to see the impact my foundation has had on the lives of these kids. I had a great time."

"Here is another picture. Ethiopia was a beautiful country and the people were so kind and gentle."

There's also a video about it on the ATP website but it's in Flash and can't be linked. Will keep an eye out.

Roger with the girls

The Federers! And Roger's dad even took this picture.

Clockwise from left: Mirka, Roger, Charlene Riva & Myla Rose (girls could be reversed, they are twins after all).

Roger wins the 2010 Australian Open

Roger defeated Andy Murray in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(11). The most exciting part was the third set tiebreak because it was the only part where Murray wasn't thoroughly trounced. Afterward Murray commented, "I can cry like Roger but I can't play like him." Then he drowned his sorrows in Dungeons and Dragons while Britain tried not to dissolve into one large puddle of tears.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
