During his illustrious journey on the ATP tour, Roger Federer used to travel to a lot of places around the globe in order to mark his participation in various tournaments. Now, even after his retirement in the previous season, the Swiss tennis Maestro has managed to continue this tradition, albeit, with his off-court endeavors. The former tennis ace recently traveled to the beautiful city of Japan, Nonoichi, where he felt the urge to pick up his racket once again.

Federer, alongside his wife and kids, later enjoyed an amazing tennis session at an indoor club, Kanazawa. The club’s discrete owner, though, made the decision to keep the 42-year-old’s Asian swing session a “secret mission” as he didn’t want to draw a lot of crowd in during this social media era. Now, a day after the sudden disclosure of his ‘secret’ tennis mission, some more sneak peeks of the 20-time singles Grand Slam champion’s recent trip to Japan have surfaced online.
