With records knows Roger Federer, not only with athletic, which he considers the most important in his discipline: those with 20 Grand Slam titles, which, however, already in the coming year in the highest risk, after all, Rafael Nadal is already at 19 Major victories. And with that same Rafael Nadal, Federer will probably break a record that he has set up only in recent days: 42,517 spectators attended the show battle between the 38-year-old Swiss and Alexander Zverev in Mexico City. More people than ever before in a tennis match.
In early 2020, this number will probably be waste, and then Federer and Nadal will meet in Cape Town, South Africa, for a charity match that will set a new record in terms of stadium attendance.
Federer and Zverev can not play in Bogota
Basically, there is little to shake the fun factor at this year's South America Tour - with the exception of the cancellation of the event in Bogota. The local authorities had imposed a curfew, Federer and Zverev had to move on without sporting things. "We are sorry that we can not play," said Federer on the court in Bogota. "I hope that someday I will return here and play in front of you. We spent a great time here, and the people of Colombia could not have been nicer. "
Finally, Federer and Zverev are heading to Quito, Ecuador, this Sunday.
