The craze for Roger Federer outside the tennis world gets vividly portrayed yet again with his recent visit to the Chase Center, in San Francisco. Federer reached there to watch the Golden State Warriors game against the San Antonio Spurs and received a standing ovation with an uproar of cheers when his name was announced.

Federer even met the Golden State Warriors players while they were in their practice sessions before the match. He was warmly greeted by the team. A few moments later, Federer was also spotted with the icon of the team, Stephen Curry. Later on, he took some shots at the basket and looked thrilled with his visit. But what was the actual reason for his presence at the Chase Center in front of his fans from the basketball world?

“I think they’ve been amazing” – Roger Federer seems to be a fan of “Curry, Klay Thompson”

Roger Federer is currently at the home of Golden State Warriors to unveil the city as the 7th host of the 8th edition of the Laver Cup. The event created by Roger Federer is all set to be held at the Chase Center from September 19-20, 2025. This warm welcome for the tennis star is surely an indication of the presence of several basketball fans in the tennis crowd later next year. Just to get a glimpse of the Swiss Maestro perhaps. He might be a crowd favorite here, but who’s his favorite Golden State Warriors player?

Shortly after the announcement of his name. Roger Federer spoke to Ginger Conejero Saab and revealed, “I mean, Curry, Klay Thompson, I think they’ve been amazing.” However, this isn’t the first time he met Curry and his team. In 2022, Roger Federer met the team in Shanghai. And even went into their locker room to give a pep talk.
