Over the years, Swiss maestro, Roger Federer, has been involved in many famous commercials. From the Lindt Lindor ad in 2014 to his Match for Africa promotion with Bill Gates, the Swiss maestro has seen it all. He has gone on to become one of the most marketable athletes in the sporting world, amassing massive fortune off the court. Among his famous commercials is the 2010 ad for Gillette. Recently, fellow Swiss athlete, Marco Odermatt, tried to imitate Federer’s act from that commercial.

Odermatt is a big fan of Federer and has hugely been inspired by him. Let’s find out what Odermatt did as the Swiss maestro’s 13-year-old act was remembered again.

Marco Odermatt replicates the act of Roger Federer from the Gillette commercial

In 2010, Federer’s Gillette commercial went viral as he did something unthinkable. He knocked a can off someone’s head with his tennis serve. His service was so accurate that Federer managed to drop the can on the first try. Subsequently, he took a few steps back and tried the act again. The result was similar as Federer demonstrated his accuracy of serve.

Federer’s unique act went viral as fans hadn’t seen that sort of thing before. The commercial racked up more than 5 Million views on YouTube, becoming Federer’s one of the best ads.

Earlier this week, fellow Swiss athlete, Marco Odermatt, took to Instagram to showcase a similar act. He was involved in a commercial shooting with alpine skier, Gino Caviezel. During the break, Odermatt spotted a tennis racket and immediately remembered Federer’s moment from 2010. He tried to hit the bottle kept on Gino’s head and was successful on the first try, like Federer. Reacting to this, he said, “What do you think, @rogerfederer? Time to start a new career?”
