Roger Federer recently retired from tennis but here’s a golden throwback to his teenage days

In the picture, some of the noticeable things include his trophies, pin-ups of basketball icon Michael Jordan, actress Pamela Anderson, a Macedonian flag among other stuff. 17-year-old Federer can be seen sporting a Nike sweatshirt and a cap.
