In his time away from tennis, Federer has been keeping things light and doing all kinds of recreational activities. Latest, he posted a video of himself playing ping pong, a.k.a table tennis. He shared a video of himself hitting the ball multiple times towards the ball and was visibly excited while doing so.

Adventurer Bear Grylls took a friendly dig towards Federer in the comments and said, “I knew it! You had been secretly practicing before we played that epic final together up that mountain! Next match is mine…” Big serving American, John Isner too wrote, “Forrest Gump has nothing on the goat.”
