At 35 years old, Roger Federer is still going strong! He has won the BNP Paribas Open 2017 against Stan Wawrinka in a 4-6, 5-7 defeat. Federer has said “This has been a fairytale week once again. I came here for the first time 17 years ago. To be the champion again, I can’t tell you what it means to me.” This accomplishment is his second big win of the year after winning the Australian Open 2017 against Rafael Nadal.
