No matter how courteous Roger Federer was off the court, every opponent dreaded him on the court. With his effortless and aggressive playing style, he has taken down his rivals even in the most challenging matches. No matter how many injuries he faced, Federer always held his composure. However, good music and good acting knew how to make Federer emotional as he went through a tearing journey while watching a particular Broadway show.

The show hit the theatres back in 2015 and Federer was quite excited to lighten up his mood. What he did not know was that he will have to brace himself for an emotional roller-coaster ride.
