The 103 ATP winner described Switzerland as a quiet, sparsely populated country. But in this case, Federer was out in the woods with people close to him for a light-hearted evening.

Out of nowhere, a stranger crashed the small party and turned everything quite intense. “A gentleman came by and made a joke. ‘Don’t fry!’ he said. ‘You mustn’t make a fire here!’
“And I am like, ‘No joke now?’ I knew there was a fire ban in the summer, but I didn’t know that it currently applies where we were that day,” Federer shared.
However, what came next brought everyone to chuckle. Federer continued, “Then he said, ‘Oh, sorry, I was trying to make a joke. I thought you were someone else.”
By no means would anyone have expected the tennis maestro to be out there in the woods. But it remains a fond memory with Federer.
