When Roger Federer sets out to shine musically in public, a certain pattern can be seen. The maestro only feels comfortable in a group. So a few years ago Federer took heart together with Tommy Haas and Grigor Dimitrov and enriched the Internet with his version of “Hard to Say I'm Sorry”, originally sung by Chicago.

Now the 39-year-old is preparing for the next all-round acoustic hit, but this time with a commercial background. "With a little help from my friends" is intoned by Federer, in the tradition of the Beatles, but also by Joe Cocker.

Roger Federer did not get into the music industry completely unlucky, rather he got tips from a vocal coach. "First I had to overcome my fear of singing in public a little bit. A few days before filming, I tried to sing the song in my car," said Federer on "20min".

Of course, Roger Federer has no illusions about his prospects in the entertainment business. “I honestly don't think I'll be getting calls on a record deal anytime soon. But of course I hope that the others in the clip will get a call because they were really fantastic. "
