The 2023 Met Gala in New York is set to be a grand event for tennis fans this year. After all, the event will be co-chaired by one of tennis’ all-time greats, Roger Federer. The 20-time Grand Slam winner’s last appearance at the Met Gala was in 2017. At the time, the Swiss Maestro made quite the fashion statement in a bold Gucci tuxedo. While no one knows at this stage what fashion statement Federer is going to go with this time, one thing’s for sure: he will look a class apart as usual.
In the latest tweet from Federer’s official Twitter handle, the superstar hyped up his fans for the Met Gala. Unsurprisingly, there were some incredible reactions from his loyal fanbase, which has been somewhat dormant since his retirement from pro tennis last year.
For Roger Federer fans, the 2023 Met Gala is all about the Swiss legend

While tennis fans will obviously tune into the event to catch a glimpse of Roger Federer, there will be several other high-profile names as well. For instance, the likes of Elle Fanning, Kim Kardashian, and Rita Ora will all be there.
Federer’s fellow co-chairs will also bring some stardom to the table. The tennis icon will be joined by four other co-chairs, including Dua Lipa, Penelope Cruz, Michaela Coel, and Anna Wintour. It’s fair to say that the 2017 Met Gala appearance of Federer will pale in comparison to the 2023 edition owing to the fact that this time, he will be running the show.
