Tennis giants like Roger Federer and Venus Williams have shown us what it means to step up our game. When they enter the tennis arena for a match, they play with poise, discipline, and a distinct aura. However, their persona off the tennis court is quite different; elegant yet incredibly goofy. And while we are talking about their cool sides, Williams and Federer did, however, display the other side of their persona to their fans nearly 12 years ago.

Despite having won a total of 27 Grand Slam titles, both well-known tennis players are quite grounded in real life. Not only that day, but they also had one more common thing among themselves, and that was their love for the sport.

12 years ago, there was a video shared by Wilson Equipment Bags from Miami that talked about how Williams and the Swiss maestro are goofy in real life. Firstly, let’s talk about the part where we saw Federer’s fun side. In that video, the 20-time Grand Slam champion was seen leaving his hotel and making his way to have some practice sessions.

While he was just walking out of the hotel, a person asked him where he was going, to which he gave a hilarious reply. He said, “To solve all the problems of the world.” After that, he was seen driving his own car, and while he was stopped at a traffic signal, he saw a friend. He shouted out to him just like two normal people in the street trying to catch up. Nevertheless, the fan was none other than the former Spanish tennis player Tommy Robredo.

Furthermore, she was caught multitasking while driving the automobile, and conversing about several topics at the same time.
