Federer was given birth in Basel, Switzerland, on August 8, 1981, by his Afrikaner mother, Lynette Federer (née Durand) from Kempton Park, Gauteng, in South Africa, and his Swiss-German father, Robert Federer, from Berneck in the Canton of St. Gallen.
As a result, Federer holds dual nationality of Switzerland and South Africa because his mother is a South African. He was raised in the border towns of Birsfelden, Riehen, and Münchenstein and is proficient in Swiss German, Standard German, English, and French. He also has a working knowledge of Italian and Swedish.
