Federer wins Sportsman of the Year in Switzerland
Roger Federer was named Swiss Sportsman of the Year at Sunday's Credit Suisse Sports Awards. He beat out mountain biker Nino Schurter, Alpine skier Beat Feuz and 12 other nominees for the honor.
Still, his children couldn't help but make a joke at his expense:
Coach of the Year went to Severin Luthi, who works with Federer alongside Ivan Ljubicic.
Upon hearing about the coaching award, Tennis Channel commentator Paul Annacone, who coached Federer from 2010 to 2013, called Luthi "the polish on the jewel known as RF for quite some time."
Martina Hingis, who won one doubles and two mixed doubles Grand Slams this year before retiring, was nominated for Sportswoman of the Year. She placed fourth, with Alpine skier Wendy Holdener winning the award.
