Federer began playing tennis with his parents and older sister Diana at a very early age and quickly showed signs that he had great talent for the game. At the age of eight Roger joined the Basel junior tennis program and at ten he met Australian player Peter Carter who saw the youngster's potential. Cater and Federer trained together for the next four years until at the age of 13 Roger accepted an invitation to attend Switzerland's national tennis training center. At the time the training center was located two hours away from Roger's home in a part of Switzerland that spoke mostly French. Federer trained there for three years until a new facility was opened closer to his home in Biel. Peter Carter was one of the instructors at the new training center and his guidance Federer quickly rose the world's top junior rankings. As an amateur Roger won the Wimbledon junior singles and double titles and was eventually the number one ranked ITF player in the world.
