Now that Federer has retired from tennis, he is relishing his off-court life by enjoying both new and old beloved interests. That is why we saw him having the time of his life at the Miami Grand Prix this year.

However, what he did not expect was a hilarious moment with a Rafael Nadal fan. As a way of interacting with his fans, Federer asked them to share their queries. One fan wanted to know if there ever was an incident where he was mistaken for someone else. And fresh off the boat, Federer had a recent one to share. He stated, “Happened the other day at the Formula 1. A guy asked, “Can I have a picture with you, Mr Nadal?” I told him I wasn’t Mr Nadal.”

The Swiss Maestro has set an astounding record at the SW19. With eight Grand Slam titles on the grass-court major at Wimbledon, he has secured the most Wimbledon titles in the open era.

However, it is also the same place where a female security guard did not let him enter the Wimbledon premises. The player was not carrying his membership card, and she adhered to the regulations strictly.
