Federer meets a 107-year-old supporter, sets the world record for a tennis match with the largest number of spectators with Zverev and gets an emotional outburst when the exhibition in Bogota has to be canceled.
The friendly relationship between Zverev and Federer is clear in the documentation. Especially at the moment when the German consoles the Swiss because he was devastated by the cancellation.
"We warmed up, came back from training, and then everything went a little crazy," said Federer. A curfew was imposed by the government because of the fear of large-scale riots. “It was not the dream match I imagined. It all collapsed. That was really not a good thing. "
Two hours later, the two left Bogota and landed in Mexico in the early hours of the morning, where they hit over 42,000 spectators.
