There is a story to this couple, and it shows what a human being Federer is.\u00a0The couple, as Federer\u2019s die-hard fans would know, are Bob and Diana Carter, the parents of the tennis great\u2019s first international coach, the Australian Peter Carter.\u00a0Federer was just nine when Carter took him under his wing. In 2002, in a terrible tragedy, Carter died in a car accident in\u00a0South Africa\u00a0during a vacation with his wife.<span id=\"more-19937\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The story goes that Federer (then 21) was so affected by his coach\u2019s death that he ran through the streets of\u00a0Toronto\u00a0(where he was playing that day) bawling his heart out. Carter had recognised Federer\u2019s genius at a young age, and was determined to make him an all-time great. For over a decade, Carter was at it before he died at the age of 37. He was not Federer\u2019s first coach, but the one who took him from relative obscurity in\u00a0Basel\u00a0in\u00a0Switzerland\u00a0to the threshold of international greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2016\/02\/26\/the-peter-carter-behind-roger-federer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/carter-and-federer.jpg?resize=500%2C335&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"elanka\" width=\"600\" height=\"341\" \/>Federer and Carter\u00a0\u2014<\/a><a class=\"_ZR irc_hol i3724\" style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.worldtennismagazine.com\/archives\/2901\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"irc_ho\" dir=\"ltr\">www.worldtennismagazine.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, coming back to Bob and Diana Carter. Federer feels so close and so indebted to them that, every year, since 2005, his team sends an all-expense paid itinerary to the Adelaide-based couple \u2014 first-class air tickets, bookings in the same hotel as Federer, food, winner\u2019s parties and even commiseration parties in\u00a0Melbourne. And they sit in Federer\u2019s box at the Rod Laver Arena, supporting him as if he were their son. They see their Peter in him.

He would trail along to the courts with his parents and two\u00a0older brothers. When he was 12, he was playing A grade, then at 15 he moved to Adelaide to live with coach Peter Smith, the man who played a part in many famous careers, including John Fitzgerald, Darren Cahill, Brod Dyke and Lleyton Hewitt. In words of his coach, Peter Smith,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><em>\u201c<\/em><em>He was a little younger than Fitzy and Brod Dyke but in terms of Mark and Darren who were about the same age, I think people considered him to be the best of that particular group.<\/em><em>\u201d One of Peter\u2019s most memorable wins was when he defeated John Alexander while he was still at school.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He then went on the ATP circuit, but dogged by injury, he eventually ended up coaching in Switzerland, where he met the young Roger Federer. His dad, Bob, recalls:\u00a0He said to me one night when he rang<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><em>\u201cOh, have I got a young boy here who looks promising<\/em><em>,\u201d\u00a0\u201che\u2019s only about 12 or 13\u201d.\u00a0He said, \u201cI think he\u2019s going to go places.\u201d.\u00a0And that was Roger Federer.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Peter coached Roger through his formative teenage years till he turned pro. He was popular in Switzerland and eventually became the country\u2019s Davis Cup coach and captain. His mom recalls:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><em>\u201c<\/em><em>And the team actually refused to play unless he was the captain, at one stage.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Peter\u2019s life seemed complete when he met his wife swiss-born, Sylvia, but shortly afterwards she was diagnosed with cancer. After a 12-month battle last year she was cleared of the disease. They travelled to South Africa to celebrate. But, while travelling in separate cars, Peter<span class=\"body-content\">\u00a0died of injuries sustained in a car accident,<\/span>as his Land Rover crashed near the\u00a0Kruger National Park\u00a0. He was 37 by then. Roger Federer was playing in\u00a0Toronto \u201902. After losing in the first round to eventual champion Guillermo Canas, he learnt of the sad news. Roger said:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong><em>I was very shocked and very sad when I found out. He was a very close friend. This is the first time a close friend of mine has died.<\/em><em>\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Peter Carter is now remembered as part of the\u00a0Carter Altman Penfold Fund. The charity known as CAP helps children with disabilities play sport and remembers two other tennis players, Nick Altman and Jeff Penfold. Also, the clash of Australia &amp; Switzerland in Davis Cup is named as\u00a0Peter Carter Trophy, which Australia\u00a0won in Dec \u201903\u00a0Davis cup final.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bob Carter on Federer:\u00a0<strong><em>\u201c<\/em><em>Obviously Roger [Federer] has got enormous talent, but I am sure, and I can see it in his game, what\u2019s there Peter would have taught him. The serve volley and the slice and the variety in his game, that\u2019s how Peter played.
