Roger Federer is excelling at the grass-court game again.
Federer, who owns a home in Dubai, recently shared the golf course in Dubai with former Aussie cricket star and new Dubai resident Brett Lee.
Lee shared a shot of the sporting legends on the links.
“It’s not every day you bump into an absolute legend,” Lee captioned the Instagram post. “Even better guy off the court.”
Over the past year, Federer has also shared the golf course with Rafa Nadal and world No. 1 Carlitos Alcaraz, who shared the Swiss Maestro beat him in a round.
