Roger Federer has had a close partnership with Mercedes-Benz for 15 years. This will be extended for the coming years. Since the end of his career, Roger Federer and Mercedes-Benz have taken their long-standing partnership to the next level: Their joint Neon Legacy initiative is intended to give back to society and support especially the next generations of tennis players. In June 2023, a public tennis court in Abbey Wood, London, was renovated and opened to the public by Roger Federer. On Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, right before the Laver Cup, Roger Federer stepped back on the court once again to interact with local kids from the Vancouver area.
“It has always been my goal to give something back to tennis and society after my active career. With this extension of our long-term partnership, Mercedes-Benz and I look forward to identifying and implementing these special projects for the benefit of communities around the world.”

“Just ahead of the Laver Cup, we are delighted to announce the extension of our partnership with Roger. We are also excited to continue our initiative ‘Neon Legacy’, which got off to a great start with the beautiful tennis courts in London. Roger's passion for giving back and his worldwide admiration will guide us towards many more impactful projects in the next years.”
