Roger Federer has always been known to love his fans and is always very kind when he meets them in person. We got yet another example of the same when a Twitter (now known as ‘X’) user shared his recent experience with the 20-time Grand Slam winner on the app. Fans have appreciated and praised the youngster for his humbleness despite being so famous.
The guy, named Ariel Bach, who wrote the tweet has a father who appeared in a recent United Nations General Assembly which was also being attended by Roger Federer. As Ariel is a massive tennis fan and plays the sport himself, his father asked Roger Federer to say something to him in a video, which Roger did.
“Hi Ariel, I heard you’re an avid tennis player. Wish you only but the best and one day I’ll watch you on TV, Remember!,” Roger Federer was heard in the video. The UN General Assembly talked about Ariel’s family foundation that day, which was why his father was present there.
“My daddy had some meetings at the UN G Assembly this week with the work of our family foundation and my role model, Mr.RF was so kind to make a video for me with such kind words of encouragement. Thank you so much Mr. Federer, hope to meet you in person one day!!!,” said the guy.
Roger Federer talks about his knee problems that forced him to retire
Roger Federer recently opened up about his long time knee issue that forced him to retire from Tennis. He also revealed that he has a physiotherapist who he has been seeing four times a week for the past seven years. He has been giving Roger some exercise, treatment and massages.
“After dropping my kids off at school, I go straight to the gym. I’ve had quite a few knee problems, so I’m recovering consistently. I haven’t been able to do a lot of cardio – I mostly do weight training, abs, and quadriceps,” Roger Federer said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. The legend retired last year after the 2022 Laver Cup, which was one of the most emotional moments of the sport in a long while.
