Tennis star Roger Federer won two awards at the 2015 ATP World Tour awards on Sunday. The Swiss was honoured during a special ceremony in the first night of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 arena in London.

I enjoy getting awards, especially the ones voted on by the fans and my fellow players. It’s a very nice moment once again in my career. I try to do it with style and of course I play hard with everything. You guys give it the respect and it’s very nice. Many other players deserve the awards as well and I’m very much aware that there are many other good guys out there.
