Most tennis fans agree: When Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic get together for another edition of their storied rivalry it’s hard not to feel the love.
Shanghai: Federer Takes Down Djokovic to Set Simon Clash
But these two tennis fans took “the love” to a whole different level during Federer’s 6-4, 6-4 victory over Djokovic at the Shanghai Rolex Masters.
During a changeover in the second set a very opportunistic man whipped out the engagement ring as soon as the arena’s roving camera spied him. The camera stayed with him as he got down on his knees and his blushing bride to be smiled in disbelief. Then she draped her arms around him and momentarily forgot about the fact that Federer was about to reach his 39th career Masters 1000 final.
What we’d like to know is: Was the cameraman in on this, or did the young man just hope that serendipity would intervene and bring his plan to propose on live television to fruition?
Either way it was a job well done, and the couple’s genuine enthusiasm and emotion made for a memorable moment.
