The excitement of tennis fans is out of bounds as Roger Federer makes his comeback at Qatar Open 2021. However, before his first match, the Swiss maestro has already surprised the fans.

Before, the 20-time Grand Slam champion did not play any tennis last year. But, consequently, he did launch a tennis challenge to stay active during the lockdown.

Moreover, big players and fans took part in that challenge, called Volley or Roger Federer Challenge. It was an instant hit on social media platforms.

Now, as the 39-year-old returns to his beloved sport, he has returned with his favorite tennis challenge. Last year, he aced it with a cap, this time, he is sporting a mask.
