Last time Federer was seen at the Met Gala was in 2017 where he was seen wearing a rather intriguing outfit. He was wearing a crystal cobra on his tuxedo and that got the tennis world super interested. This time the outfit is subtle but the name wearing it is huge and, well, the tennis world is talking for a reason. The 8 time Wimbledon champion posted a few extremely stylish pictures on Twitter.

One of the tweets read, “Let’s get the party started.” By the look of it, the Swiss star was having the time of his life at The Metropolitan Museum Of Art. Additionally, the thing to be noted here is that Federer was not the only tennis player who attended the Gala. Former US Open champion Andy Roddick and his wife Brooklyn Decker were also seen. Former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini also graced the grand event.
