Roger Federer got a shout-out at the recent Coldplay concert in Rome. The Swiss legend continues his concert run as he ticked his favorite music band, Coldplay, off the list on July 12.
Federer and Coldplay’s connection dates back to when the 20-time Grand Slam champion was a fan and was invited on stage to play the shaker for an entire song. Since then, Federer has been a favorite of the band. Currently, Coldplay is performing in Rome, and Federer made a special appearance at their concert.
As a fan, the Swiss mastero tried to keep it low profile, but the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin, kept Federer under the spotlight while he informed the fans on who was present in the audience. The whole video featured Federer, as Martin sang a funny lyric dedicating the tennis great.
Who is this sexy guy? --hold on--Roger, my beautiful brother, who is the greatest tennis player of all time. You were so good at sports, but who would have thought that you would show up looking so beautiful and fine?Chris Martin said during his concert.
Federer was embarrassed by the attention, even saying “Come on” as Chris Martin hyped him. Nonetheless, it was a delightful surprise for the fans to realize who else was there with them that night.
