ATP World No. 1 Roger Federer will be featured in the December issue of Vogue. Federer is pictured in the glamorous six-page spread in a number of striking outfits, including a white tuxedo jacket and Gucci wool pants. He also appears in a Yves Saint Laurent suit. The Swiss reveals he enjoys fashion.

Vogue writes: 'Though he has learned to experiment more with his clothes, Roger is the first to admit that he wasn't always interested in fashion. 'When I started to date Mirka I had a couple of pairs of sneakers and one pair of jeans. Tennis players walk around in tracksuits nonstop, but I realized I'm a different person off the court and I didn't have to wear tennis gear all the time...I thought I couldn't move in a suit. But it's just a matter of getting used to these things. So it's been an interesting last few years, finding the style I prefer most.' "

Federer also emphasizes to Vogue that he understands his responsibility to the sport. "When you become No. 1, you realize that you're not passing under the radar anymore. I am an ambassador for the game."
