Mind-Blowing News for Tennis Fans as Roger Federer to Set Foot in Paris Just Ahead of French Open

Roger Federer will soon be present in Paris! But not for the Olympics or the upcoming French Open tournament of this year. Rather, it is for inaugurating a tennis court. After his long vacation in Thailand and then Vietnam, Federer is now set to make his presence known in France as well!

The Swiss Maestro is all ready to inaugurate the tennis court La Courneuve on Wednesday, May 22, this year. It is a commune in the Seine-Saint-Denis department of France. And there, Federer will be the one to take part in opening a new tennis court at the Boughera el Ouafi gymnasium, marking it as one of his many post-retirement milestones.

Roger Federer’s visit would be a part of the “Around the World” program, which is an initiative taken by Uniqlo. However, the campaign also further extends its collaboration with “Fete Le Mur” as well. And this was founded by a former French Open champion, Yannick Noah. However, this is not the first time that Federer has represented this program. 

He has previously visited two cities in this regard. One in New York and the other in Shanghai. And his “24 hours with Roger” in those cities garnered a lot attention from his fans. But apart from the fun-filled adventures, it had an important goal.

The Fete Le Mur has been an integral part of making tennis a medium to reach out to young people in urban areas. And who better than Roger Federer to share his valuable experience with the youth? 

Not only is he expected to motivate them through his top-tier achievements in his career, he is also expected to provide a glimpse of his prowess through some training sessions after the inauguration, just like he did when he visited Shanghai and New York as well. 

Roger Federer’s adventures in Shanghai and New York

Roger Federer, who retired in 2022, has left a void in the tennis world since then. However, during his visit to Shanghai, his fans got a glimpse of his prowess not on the ground but on table! This happened when he played table tennis with a young prodigy at the jing’an Gymnasium Table tennis Hall. He also visited Zhu Jingyi’s studio, where he explored the art of calligraphy as well. From enjoying the nightlife of the city to experiencing their unique culinary skills, Federer made the most of his time there.

Even during his New York visit, he coached young players, intriguing their interest in sports. Not only that his involvement with kids during a Q&A session also grabbed the attention of his fans. Therefore, this year, we are all waiting to see what new scenes unfold in France!
