Roger Federer has stepped out in style in Melbourne ahead of the Australian Open, joining VIP guests for an intimate evening 38 floors above picturesque Southbank in the Crown Towers. A global ambassador for Moët & Chandon, Federer reflected on his outstanding seasons in 2004 and 2006, which are two grand vintages for the premier champagne maker.

In 2004 Federer first rose to World No. 1 after his title run at the Australian Open. He won 11 titles, including Wimbledon and the Tennis Masters Cup, now known as the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. In 2006 Federer won a career-high 12 tournaments, coming within one match of completing a calendar-year Grand Slam. (He fell to Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros final, but won the other three majors.)

“2004 was one of my big breakthrough years when I became World No. 1 here in Australia,” Federer said. “And 2006 was one of my best years on tour, winning almost every tournament or every second tournament… it’s nice celebrating something.”

 

Federer is the second seed at the Australian Open, where he has drawn Chinese Taipei’s Yen-Hsun Lu in the first round.
