By Gautam Chauhan Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Roger Federer won almost everything in his glittering career. Back on September 22 in 1997, Roger Federer earned his first 12 points in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, and as they say, the rest is history. Almost 25 years ago, Federer registered his first ATP ranking, tied at 803rd in the world, aged 16 back then. After gaining his first ATP rankings points back in 1997, Federer rose to the numero uno position on the ladder on February 2, 2004. He stayed at the pinnacle of the rankings for a total of 237 weeks and was replaced by Rafael Nadal on August 18, 2008. 25 years and an illustrious career later, Roger Federer will play his final match with his great friend Rafael Nadal, while representing Team Europe in the Laver Cup against the American duo of Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe on Friday.
