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.

Some of the world’s biggest superstars from a diverse array of fields are set to take center stage at the 2023 Met Gala. However, going by the reactions to Federer’s tweet, it seems like most of his fans will tune into the event just to get a glimpse of the maestro.

One user was quite blunt in saying, “I will only see the met gala to see him, nothing more”.

Another fan couldn’t hide the anticipation surrounding what Federer will wear for the event.

Yet another fan expressed how iconic the 2023 Met Gala will be as a showpiece event thanks to Federer’s presence.

One fan even made a special day out of the 2023 Met Gala and wished fellow fans, “happy metgala day to all fedfans”.

The excitement in Federer’s tweet in the buildup to the event caught the eye of one particular fan, who tweeted, “I love how excited he is”.

Another fan advised Federer to steer clear of his signature black suit look.

One fan couldn’t hide her love for the Swiss icon, simply tweeting, “i love him”.

Another diehard Federer loyalist had a seemingly valid question in his mind.

One fan literally begged Federer, “Turn up with a banger outfit I beg”.

Another fan poked fun at Federer for constantly updating his fans about his 2023 Met Gala preparations.

Last but not least, one user asked Federer if his fans could expect him to make a tennis comeback.

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.
