Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have proven their social streak several times over the past few weeks, like so many other athletes, and there must be a little time for fun in between. And so the maestro stood in front of a baffle with a hat he brought to Switzerland from his South America tour towards the end of 2019 and kept the ball up. An easy exercise for a 20-time Grand Slam champion.
These days, however, there is hardly a posting without a corresponding challenge. And in addition to the large mass of tennis fans, Federer has also asked a few celebrities to do the same. People with whom he maintains business relationships or shares sponsors such as Alexander Zverev or Mikaela Shiffrin. Or Bill Gates, who not only plays an important role in Federer's charity events with his wallet. World leader Novak Djokovic was one of the first to respond in his Facebook story, and Zverev also said he would work on an answer. Ski-Ace Shiffrin has already rushed ahead.
The reactions worldwide were also numerous and partly creative. And Roger Federer had praise, criticism and tips ready. Here is a brief overview.
