TENNIS: Federer fan wakes up after 11-year coma and asks 'how's Roger doing?'

After waking up from an 11-year coma following a serious car crash, there was only one thing on the mind of Jesus Aparicio: Roger Federer.

Aparicio had been unconscious since December 2004 but the Spaniard remembered seeing his idol beat Lleyton Hewitt to win the US Open – his third Grand Slam of the year.

He suffered his injuries while out celebrating his 18th birthday but received a very belated present when he woke up in August this year and discovered Federer was still reaching Grand Slam finals.

Tennisworld.org reported that Aparicio said: “It came like a flash to my mind and I asked about Roger.

“I thought he had retired. When I knew that at 34 years old, he is still playing and is number two in the world, I thought they were kidding me. I could not believe it.
