Roger Federer performed with Coldplay. The ovation was even bigger than at Wimbledon [WIDEO]

Roger Federer is the winner of 20 Grand Slam titles. Last year, the tennis player ended a successful career. In this he appeared in the box of honor at Wimbledon, in the company of m.in. Duchess Kate, but also hundreds of fans, receive a standing ovation, which was awarded to him. Earlier, however, a much larger audience applauded him when he took to the stage to perform alongside Coldplay.

– In 1996 we had five members. The fifth one played drums and stayed with us for about three months and said, “Fuck it, I’m going to be the greatest tennis player of all time,” Chris Martin joked from the stage before inviting Federer to “perform” again. And although it can be seen that he copes much worse with “obstructions” than with a racket, he received huge applause from thousands of spectators who came to the concert in Zurich for his performance of Coldplay’s “Dont’ Panic” – especially the solo.

He won 20 Grand Slam tournaments before retiring in September

On Tuesday, Federer was accompanied by his wife Mirka and his parents on the courts of Wimbledon. The touched athlete was awarded m. for numerous victories in the London tournament, which he won in 2003-07, 2009, 2012, and 2017. The Swiss ended his career on September 23 last year, playing his last match in the Laver Cup, in a duo with Rafael Nadal.

“Poles who had contact with Federer agree – he was the king of both the courts and the locker room. A king with a human face. His achievements on the court cannot be questioned, but the 41-year-old Swiss is also distinguished by the fact that his actions went beyond the limits Many dreamed of meeting him, only the chosen ones succeeded” – so before the official end of his career by the eight-time Wimbledon winner.
