Despite retiring last year, Roger Federer is trending in the tennis world right now. The Swiss Maestro has made his way to Vancouver to witness the Laver Cup that is currently ongoing. Before the start of the tournament, Federer took the court to play some rallies against Jim Courier. During that brief play, the former World Number 1 gave a flashback to his peak years in tennis. But as Day 2 of the tournament rolled around, Federer made the news for a slightly different reason.
As Casper Ruud and Tommy Paul battled it out for their teams, Federer made a grand appearance in the stands along with a familiar face, which left fans in a frenzy! Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland were present to witness the action in Vancouver. They were seated beside Federer and the group was engrossed in a deep discussion. Here’s how the fans reacted to their video, which went viral on social media.

Federer has clearly been enjoying his post-retirement life lately. While being away from tennis, he has focused on his business ventures and spending quality time with his family.
