After his retirement, the former world number one is working hard to uplift his foundation in a better way while trying to keep a perfect balance aligned with his family time. Recently, the Swiss maestro made an appearance in front of 12,000 fans as a surprise guest by attending this year’s Super10 fight. According to Blick, after making a surprise appearance, Federer shared his experience of attending a wrestling event.
He said, “I think it was a mistake that I didn’t stop by the Super10 fight earlier – in this atmosphere! No seriously, I was of course always a little afraid of injuries during my career and unfortunately it didn’t fit into my tournament plan.”
Apparently, the 42-year-old Swiss tennis legend was there as an ambassador for his nonprofit organization and a supporter of 168 Sporthilfe talents. The crowd honored him with a standing ovation, welcoming one of the well-known personalities in the tennis world into their arena.
It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that for the 12,000 sports lovers who came to watch the wrestling match this year, Federer’s surprise visit was like the cherry on top. However, before this, the former number one attended a rugby match with his whole family, giving his fans some delightful family moments with a surprise rugby fan appearance.
