In honor of the Swiss tennis player Roger Federer who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, will not be named after a street in his hometown of Basel.
Federer, 41, announced his retirement in September 2022.
“In Basel, there is a rule that streets or squares can only be named after people who have already died,” said the head of the city’s cadastral department, Paul Haffner, whose remarks, in reference to the SRF channel, quote Reuters .
At the same time, it is worth noting that a tram (Federer Express) already bears the name of Federer in Basel, and the attribution of his name to one of the buildings is also under discussion.
Federer topped the ATP rankings for 310 weeks, including 237 in a row, and also finished the season as world No. 1 five times. During his career, he won 103 titles (the second most in history), including 20 Grand Slam tournaments won.
