WATCH: Roger Federer ‘back at it’ as he plays table tennis with his ‘friends’
Roger Federer has taken to social media to give his fans a glimpse of his table tennis skills as he took on some of his “friends”.
During the peak of lockdown 2020, Federer entertained his followers by sharing various short videos of him hitting tennis balls against a wall.
And he has returned to social media to show off his table tennis prowess.
“Back at it, playing Table Tennis with my friends 😂”, the 20-time Grand Slam winner wrote under a short clip on Instagram.
“Forrest Gump has nothing on the ‘goat’,” American John Isner chirped while adventurer Bear Grylls wrote: “I knew it! You had been secretly practicing before we played that epic final together up that mountain! Next match is mine…”
Federer has not played competitive tennis since losing in the quarter-final at Wimbledon as has been forced to skip the Tokyo Olympics and the Canadian Open Cincinnati Masters due to his long-standing knee problem.
He admitted earlier this week that “everything is still a little uncertain”, raising doubts about his participation in the US Open.
