In his final competitive match, Roger Federer will take the court at the Laver Cup later today, the 23rd of September. The Swiss legend’s legion of devoted followers are counting down the seconds for him to swing his racket one last time and retire as one of the best players tennis has witnessed.

The twenty-time Grand Slam winner seemed to be thrilled about participating in the Laver Cup. He posted a clip of himself stretching the night before the game in London.

In the footage posted to Instagram, the Swiss ace can be seen playing ping pong with Diego Schwartzman. “Just a quick warmup for the Gala,” he captioned it.

This prompted some amusing responses from the audience, with one person quoting “James Bond playing ping pong.” The tennis ace, however, got a lot of positive feedback from his global fan base after posting that snippet.
