Roger Federer lives in the same building as his parents Robert and Lynette in Wollerau, Switzerland, but the tennis pro is reportedly building a luxurious new home worth up to $50million nearby in Rapperswil-Jona.
The Wimbledon star bought the property back in 2018 and has been renovating it since then. Once complete, Roger, his wife Mirka and their four children Myla, Leo, Lenny and Charlene will likely be keen to move into their new lakefront home, which will come complete with a tennis court and incredible views over Lake Zurich.
However, there have been several setbacks due to the pandemic and contaminated land, according to The Sun.

Local media in Switzerland reports construction has stopped because of contaminated land near the lakeshore.
The area was found to have ‘scrap and rubble’ throughout, which reportedly caused the suspension of the building application.
Environmental groups have also expressed concerns over the construction, with water protection organisation Aqua Viva among those to oppose the plans.
The Federers have now been forced to submit a new planning application, reportedly changing construction firm and architects.
