Federer memorabilia net $4.7 million at auction

The sports legend saw every single item that went under the hammer

Roger Federer may have seen his dreams of Olympic gold dashed this week, but he can celebrate that t-shirts, racquets, and shoes from his trophy-laden tennis career proved a treasure trove at auction.

The sports legend saw every single item that went under the hammer at a two-phased Christie’s auction sold, raking in £3.4 million.

The combined proceeds from an online and a live auction – over three times more than his £1-million target – will go to the Roger Federer Foundation, which supports educational projects in southern Africa and his native Switzerland.
