Roger Federer is having a blast on his trip to Latin American. Federer, who will complete his five-city exhibition tour on November 24, was moved to tears by a video message from Diego Maradona during Wednesday’s exhibition match with Alexander Zverev in Buenos Aires.
“You were, you are and will be the greatest,” said Maradona, who called Federer ‘the Machine.’ He also went on to say that Federer could call on him if he ever needed any help while he was visiting Argentina. Cameras panned to a visibly moved Federer as the crowd cheered vociferously.
Federer’s tour of Latin American will continue through November 24. Here are some recent Twitter posts from his trip.
