Roger Federer dazzles on basketball court in front of NBA superstar Steph Curry

Roger Federer may have hung up his tennis racquet, but his sporting smarts are still razor sharp as he showed on a visit to the Chase Center to meet the Golden State Warriors.

The tennis season is well underway, with the stars of the ATP and WTA strutting their stuff at Indian Wells – with Federer’s great rival from his playing days Novak Djokovic opening his challenge with a three-set win over Aleksandar Vukic.

Federer strutted his stuff in front of NBA superstar Steph Curry and Warriors coach Steve Kerr, and did not disgrace himself.

Curry is no stranger to sporting crossover, being a golfer of some standing, and Federer showed he has the qualities to flourish on a basketball court by draining a series of baskets.

Four shots, four successful baskets was Federer’s total – all while sporting a leather jacket.

The Swiss master was all about style and substance during his playing days, and that seems to be continuing in retirement.

After draining a shot from the free-throw line, Federer opted to stop while at the top of his game.

“Okay, we stop,” Federer said with a broad smile on his face. “I made four from four. That was so lucky.”

A man who transcended tennis in a career that yielded 20 Grand Slam titles, we are convinced luck had nothing to do with it.
