Away from tennis, Roger Federer is enjoying the time of his life. Well known for his charm and smile, the Swiss star has earned huge respect and love from fans and players worldwide throughout his career and even beyond. However, after bidding adieu to the sport, the 20-time grand slam has managed to keep his life off the grid. But, he never fails to make any fan’s day even after hanging up his boots.

Away from tennis, the Swiss star is currently enjoying some quality time with family as he was recently spotted in the lush beauty of Vietnam. Despite enjoying some quality family time, he did not miss a chance to make his fan’s day. On the morning of April 30, local businessman Le Dac Lam had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Roger Federer at a resort near the center of Hoi An.

Lam, eager to express his admiration for Federer, arranged to send him a lacquer painting featuring a picturesque Vietnamese village scene as a token of appreciation. Despite Federer’s busy schedule and him spending some quality time with family on vacation, Lam’s acquaintances successfully facilitated the meeting.
