Roger Federer’s iconic 2004 Wimbledon racket goes to auction

The historic racket used by Roger Federer during his Wimbledon 2004 triumph is now up for auction. With this racket, Federer claimed the third Grand Slam title of his career and his second at the All England Club.

The Swiss Maestro, then World No. 1, successfully defended his title by defeating World No. 2 Andy Roddick in the final, coming from a set down.

The racket, a Wilson nCode pro stock, is signed by Federer himself. It was the tool he used to defeat Roddick in a thrilling match, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(3), 6-4. Federer’s journey to the title was far from easy, as he overcame notable players such as Ivo Karlovic, Lleyton Hewitt, and Sébastien Grosjean.
