The following source can be used to rectify the citation needed situation for the introductory paragraph sentence ("Federer turned professional in 1998 and was continuously ranked in the top 10 from October 2002 to November 2016."): http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/players/roger-federer/f324/rankings-history

New Apparel Sponsor

Federer announced a new 10 year deal with Japanese sporting co Uniqlo at $30 million a year. Ravishankarruchir21 (talk) 19:15, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar error

Where Fed's back injury is first mentioned there is a grammatical error around the verb 'prove'. 2a00:23c6:781:4700:101f:66f1:f732:dc47 (talk) 16:19, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done Fixed from prove to proved. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:32, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar (kind of)

How about changing;

Mirka had retired from the tour in 2002 because of a foot injury, seven years before she married Federer.[34] They were married... in 2009

To: Mirka retired from the tour in 2002 because of a foot injury.[34] They were married seven years later. 120.16.68.181 (talk) 18:10, 29 June 2018 (UTC)MBG[reply]

Done Not quite as requested but you are correct that it was a redundant line. Thanks for pointing it out. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:24, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Experts are on record saying Federer is "the greatest of all time," NOT "one of the greatest of all time"

Jack Kramer, Cliff Drysdale, Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Patrick McEnroe, and even Toni Nadal (Rafael Nadal's uncle) are on record saying Federer is "the greatest tennis player of all time." They NEVER said "one of the greatest players of all time." The latter is mere bias on the part of certain contributors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.186.174 (talk) 00:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Noted and changed. Someone recently edited it, and I reverted those edits. Thanks for pointing out. Asad2723 (talk) 04:56, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
