"Among us tonight, there is a living legend: Roger Federer. For me, it's really an honor to dedicate the last aria to him," Bocelli says of Federer. "For all the emotions he gave to everybody and I would like to have him on stage here."
Watch the passion and power of Bocelli’s soaring vocals strike a chord so deeply in Federer, the Swiss superstar shed tears on stage.
The two legends embraced after Bocelli's majestic finish left an emotional Federer wiping tears from his eyes.
Seeing Bocelli and Federer share the stage in Switzerland, truly a brilliant and beautiful doubles pairing.
Will we see the Swiss Maestro back on stage with his own band in the coming years?
Former world No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov said he would "love" to reform the ultimate tennis trio and put the famed One-Handed Backhand Boys band back together with Federer and Indian Wells tournament director Tommy Haas.
"I just saw Roger, so I guess we'll chat a little bit about it," Dimitrov said in Shanghai last month. "I would love to, honestly, I would love to."
Fans have clamored for a band reunion. Dimitrov is optimistic they will make music again saying when you least expect it, expect it.
"I really would love to, honestly, I would really love for that one day," Dimitrov said of reforming the band with Federer and Haas. "I believe it will.
"I cherish those moments so much that, maybe we'll come up with something when you guys least expect it."
