LONDON, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Roger Federer, the six-time titlist at the ATP World Tour Finals, received two 2012 ATP World Tour Awards here on Wednesday.
ATP Executive Chairman and President Brad Drewett presented the Swiss superstar with the awards for Fans' Favourite for a record 10th straight year and the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award for the eighth time and second year in a row.
"Stefan Edberg was my
idol1 growing up. He was a great inspiration for me," said Federer. "I always tried to play according to the rules and be respectful to my fellow competitors. A lot of other players totally deserve this award; it's a great pleasure to win it.
On receiving recognition from the fans, Federer commented, "It' s incredible. I got this award for the first time in 2003, the year I won Wimbledon, and every year since. It keeps me motivated and inspires me. It makes travelling so much easier. I hope I'll see you supporting tennis and me in the future. I couldn't thank you enough."
Federer plays David Ferrer, a winner of an ATP World Tour-best seven titles in 2012, on Thursday afternoon in a Group B round-
robin2 clash.
