Roger
Federer, much like other sports personalities
from across the globe, is practicing social distancing as the world battles the
coronavirus pandemic. However, the Swiss tennis star has found a way to keep
himself busy by practicing "trick shots". In a minute-long video
shared by Roger Federer on Twitter, he captioned the post "Making sure I
still remember how to hit trick shots #TennisAtHome". Earlier in the month,
Indian
tennis star Sania Mirza has also helped in raising Rs 1.5 crores as India
battles against COVID-19.
Roger
Federer has won 20 grand slam titles in his career so far, which is the maximum
by any player in the world. The Swiss legend is also the only tennis player in
the world to have won the Wimbledon title 8 times in his career. Earlier this
year, Federer underwent knee surgery and is currently recovering from it.
This
year, many sporting events have been postponed as the world battles against the
coronavirus pandemic. The French Open, which was earlier scheduled to take
place from May 4 till June 7, will now take place from September 20 till
October 4 later in the year.
It
is being speculated that Wimbledon could also get cancelled as the cases in the
United Kingdom rise.
Many sports personalities from around the
world have come forward and made donations to help their countries in the fight
against COVID-19.
Tennis fans from across the globe will have to wait for a while before they see
them back in action.
