The best way to receive an authentic Federer autograph is to contact his sponsor Rolex. I went on the Rolex website and requested a signed card and they sent me one.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your reply. I will try that but I was just wondering about the letter I already sent if it's an issue with it or if it goes through.

I think you will be fine. Everyone knows and loves Roger in Switzerland and this address has been used for his fanmail for many years.

Hi Todor,

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you are saying, I'm just worried it might get lost, since I didn't put return address on big envelope. Unless that address is only accessible by him or his team, i guess that would be fine, but I'm not sure about that.

Bottmingen has a population of about 6,000. I am pretty sure they will know your letter, coming from another country, is meant for Roger ;)

What did you send him? A couple years ago he stopped signing photos and most other things. They were getting RTS. I was one of the last to get photos signed by him and in the return was a letter saying he was done with photos because they were getting too many.

He stopped signing pictures that were sent to him. I only sent envelope and postage so he can send him own card. not answering my actual question but thank you for your intention :D

It's the ol "no good deed goes unpunished." I appreciate your reply even though I didn't post the question. Thank you BC.

If question was answered, you didn't need to bother, but I appreciated the concern. Maybe you took my tone the wrong way. I didn't mean to sound disrespectful, apologies.
