OFF COURT - CREDIT SUISSE SPORTS AWARDS 2005
The Swiss Sportsman of 2005 is Tom Lüthi (Motorcycling, 46 %). Roger came second with 30,3 % of the votes.
---------------------------------
The elections for the Swiss Athlete of the Year will be held this coming Saturday. Roger has once again been nominated for the "Credit Suisse Sports Award" and is certainly hoping to win it for a third consecutive time after having taken it home in 2003 and 2004. His impressive season with 11 tournament titles, including two Grand Slams, and a large variety of records definitely gives him excellent chances.
And now it's your turn (if you live in Switzerland, that is)! The Swiss Athlete of the Year will be elected by the Swiss TV audience via TED during the show. The event will be broadcast live on Saturday, December 17, 2005, from 20.05 on SF1, TSR2 and TSI2 - so don't miss it!
The other athletes nominated in Roger's category are Stéphane Lambiel (Figure skating) and Tom Lüthi (Motorcycling).

Federer won 11 tournaments during 2005, including successful defences at Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows, on the way to maintaining his position as world number one.
Roger Federer was again the clear choice for the ITF World Champion after another outstanding season,” said ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti

I agree Love15 he is not many people's favourites but you gotta respect him as a player on court and a person off court. But as you say Marat is the only 1 who can stop him and we all have faith he will

i think people kinda resent him coz he is so good!! it can actually get boring watching him play. he is a quiet character, very calm, kind and humble. every ball is returned and you always know the outcome of the game, that is unless marats on the other side of the net  love15 |

I think Lance Armstrong will get the sportsman of the year though..but you never know
