Although it has been more than two years since Roger Federer Retired from the professional circuit due to problems with his right knee, the legendary Swiss tennis player remains one of the most loved and missed figures in the world of tennis.
On this occasion, Federer had the pleasure of returning to the courts in the Masters 1000 in Shanghaiwhere he participated in a doubles match with Hong Kong actor and singer Eason Chan.
The couple won an exciting match 9-7 and 7-6 against locals Zhizhen Zhang, currently number 41 in the world, and Fan Zhendong, Olympic table tennis champion in Paris 2024.
The funniest moment of the match occurred when the Swiss was involved in a comical argument after a confusing hit of the ball on the court.
After a lob from Zhang, Federer joked with the crowd by exclaiming: “Challenge? Man, do we have a challenge or not? Don’t we have a challenge? They went to sleep, right?”, unleashing laughter from the spectators present.
