Federer buys holiday home

World No.2 Roger Federer has bought a holiday home in the eastern canton of Graubünden, a local official confirmed on Thursday.

"It's true. Federer bought a house with grounds in Valbella," said Urs Häusermann, a local politician. Häusermann was pleased with the 27-year-old athlete's choice though, saying it spoke highly of the region as a holiday destination. The house is located near the village of Lenzerheide, south of Chur. The tennis star also has a condominium in Dubai and in March moved to the town of Wollerau, where taxes are low.
