Savannah Guthrie has played tennis with Federer. Back in 2018, Savannah joined Bill Gates, Jack Sock, and Federer to play a celebrity match and raise money for Federer’s foundation. It was the team of Bill Gates and Roger Federer against Jack Sock and Savannah Guthrie. They managed to raise $2.5 million from the match.

“I mean I got to meet Roger, so it was crazy! I saw him… he was really nice. He was like, ‘I feel like I know you. In all the times that I imagined the worse-case scenario, it was actually way worse in terms of my tennis, but it was so fun, I’m really, really glad I did it,” Guthrie said on playing with Federer.
