Meeting Roger Federer is like a dream come true for many. But for On Today’s broadcaster, Savannah Guthrie, the story is a bit different. Not only did she get the opportunity to meet the 20-time Grand Slam champion, because of his upcoming documentary, but at the same time, Federer literally made good friends with Savannah Guthrie’s mom in just a day.

Recently, the Australian-American broadcaster filled her Instagram stories with pictures of her with Roger Federer and how the former world number one met her mother. While she shot the episode with the 42-year-old Swiss tennis legend, behind the scenes, it was the 20-time Grand Slam champion who interacted with the broadcaster’s mother.

Moreover, looking into those amazing pictures, it won’t be wrong to say that just in a day, the 42-year-old tennis legend might have made a good friendship with Guthrie and her mother. On the other hand, this is not the first time someone has been impressed with Federer’s personality. While his fans are definitely in love with his friendly and considerable personality, earlier this year, Ben Shelton talked about the Swiss tennis legend’s personality as he wishes to achieve the same heights as the Swiss maestro.

He stated, “Oh, Roger is an icon, that’s for sure, but it’s true that he has retained this humility, which is the mark of the very great. If, at the end of my career, I am told that I was a great champion and a great person, I will have achieved something!” Shelton emphasized Federer’s admirable traits both on and off the court, highlighting his kindness, humility, and sincere desire to build relationships with players who are younger than him.
