It is no secret that Roger Federer is a man of many talents. While his on-court achievements need no mention, the Swiss maestro has many skills off the court as well. After his retirement from tennis in 2022, the 20-time Grand Slam champion has focussed on his business ventures, turning into a successful businessman. Recently, he showed off his new skills on social media.

Federer took to his official Instagram handle and shared glimpses of him trying his hands at golf. Sharing a video via a post on Instagram, Federer wrote, “trying to pick up a new hobby. Wish me luck… Any pointers?” The Swiss maestro sported a navy blue t-shirt and white shorts completed his looks well. Additionally, he wore his customized red cap with his brand logo.

Picking up this new hobby, Federer left not only his fans in awe but also fellow tennis stars. Carlos Alcaraz, who considers Federer as one of his idols, was among the first ones to react to Federer’s new hobby. Indeed, he proved why he used to grow up watching the Swiss maestro by being completely in awe of his latest skills. Alcaraz commented, “Is there something you are not good at?”

The Spaniard asked a valid question as Federer appears to have mastered his golfing skills. He hit the ball with ease and perfection in the video that he shared on social media. Meanwhile, other tennis stars also joined Alcaraz in commenting on Federer’s golfing skills.

Although Federer has been missed dearly on the tennis court, he has tried to compensate for it by being active on social media. The Swiss maestro often shares glimpses of his personal time on platforms like Instagram. And now, when he shared his video of playing golf, the likes of Sebastian Korda and Caroline Wozniacki were left stunned by his skills.

While Korda commented, “Damn,” with a surprised face emoji, Wozniacki wrote, “The sound of the ball!” The Dane indicated how nicely Federer had hit the shot.

Further, Federer is also in the news as his documentary about the final days of his career, titled Federer: Twelve Final Days, will be released later this month. Its trailer recently came out and is already catching the attention of not just tennis fans, but also other public in general.

Federer retired after the Laver Cup in 2022 and his void has been massive to fill. It marked the end of an era as the sport bid adieu to one of its greatest players.
