Roger Federer, the 20-time major singles champion, reaches out to his legion of fans on social media with a bit of friendly advice on how to improve their tennis while stuck at home.
Within six hours, Federer's video garnered more than 1 million views, and his post drew more than 1,300 replies.
Many of those replying to Federer got inventive, with two sisters teaming up to mimic a typical on-court exchange between a player and a ball kid."Classic, you guys are funny," Federer replied. Federer also apologised to the father of one of his fans, who had interrupted a Zoom meeting by volleying against a wall at home while wearing a sombrero."That was the right choice of hat, love the effort, sorry to your dad!" wrote Federer alongside a series of smiling and laughing emojis.
To another tweet, in which a man hit a tennis ball against an indoor wall while a dog appeared to nap underneath, Federer answered:"Love the confidence not to drop the [tennis ball emoji] on the [dog emoji]."
