The former world number one ranked tennis player had some unusual travel as he currently made his way to the U.S. West Coast. Well, this year’s Laver Cup is yet to come; for next year’s tournament, the event has found a home, and the 8th edition, co-created by none other than Federer, will be held in San Francisco at the home of the National Basketball Association’s Golden State Warriors.

Recently, a lot of pictures of the 20-time Grand Slam champion have been going around, from the Chase Center, where he inaugurated the tennis outfit, which looked quite relatable to the basketball jersey. While the 42-year-old left tennis fans excited, he also came to them with amazing news regarding why he would be traveling to San Francisco rather than participating in any other tennis-related activity.

After revealing the venue for the 2025 event, in a news release, the 20-time Grand Slam champion revealed his take on the same.
