GQ Magazine Writer Has a Grand Old Time in Switzerland With the Resurgent Roger Federer

A picture-perfect snapshot of the tennis star's life in Valbella, Switzerland

In 2014, author and GQ contributor Rosecrans Baldwin penned a memorable piece for the magazine about trying to qualify as an amateur for the U.S. Open. The Stanford grad and late-to-tennis fanatic trained for the challenge with Mats Wilander, now colorfully based in Sun Valley, Idaho. Baldwin’s eventual match with a rising California teen did not go well.

So imagine the thrill, for someone like Baldwin, of traveling to Roger Federer’s mountaintop home in Switzerland to interview the tennis superstar.
