  • Federer expressed his fondness for Mali Lošinj, a place he first visited on the recommendation of his former coach Ivan Ljubičić.
  • The former world No. 1 reportedly suffered a significant financial loss of approximately 45 million euros in one day due to a sharp decline in the stock value of a sports equipment company he has a stake in.

Tennis icon Roger Federer recently enjoyed a holiday in Croatia, vacationing in Mali Lošinj with his wife and friends. The Swiss star arrived by luxury yacht and spent time in the Čikat bay, dining at the renowned Japanese restaurant Matsunoki in the Bellevue hotel.

Federer shared his affection for the island, noting it wasn't his first visit. "I come to Mali Lošinj whenever I get the chance. A few years ago, I spent ten days here in a villa in Čikat bay, and I've always gladly returned since then," he told Elle Croatia. He attributed his discovery of the island to his long-time coach, Ivan Ljubičić, whom he credited with significantly influencing his career.

Na Mali Lošinj dolazim kad god mi prilike to dopuštaju. Prije nekoliko godina upravo sam ovdje, u jednoj vili u uvali Čikat, proveo deset dana i od tada se uvijek rado vraćam

However, the idyllic getaway was overshadowed by a substantial financial setback. Federer reportedly lost over 50 million dollars (approximately 45 million euros) in a single day. This loss stems from a significant drop in the stock value of a Swiss sports equipment company in which he holds a considerable share.

The company's shares plummeted by about 19% at one point, directly impacting Federer's estimated net worth. Forbes estimates his wealth decreased by at least 52 million dollars. Following this downturn, Federer's net worth is now estimated at around 952 million dollars, falling below the billion-dollar mark he reportedly achieved in 2025, largely due to the appreciation of his stake in this company.

Otok mi je prvi put preporučio moj dugogodišnji trener Ivan Ljubičić, koji me puno naučio i unaprijedio brojne aspekte moje igre. On je odličan trener i fenomenalan čovjek. Izrazito cijenim njega i cijelu njegovu obitelj. U velikoj je mjeri utjecao na moju karijeru i siguran sam da bez njega ne bih ostvario sve što jesam
