The great Roger Federer has played tennis in numerous locations around the world and now he has taken to the high seas [the Vltava River at any rate]!
Federer and Tomas Berdych rallied with each other on a boat which went under Prague’s Charles Bridge, as they promoted the inaugural Laver Cup.
The competition will take place in Prague between 22-24 September and will see Europe take on a Rest of the World team.
The 35-year-old Federer has been revitalised this year, having triumphed in the Australian Open to take his record haul of Grand Slam titles to 18.
The Europe team is likely to be very strong with players such as Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic possibles to take part.
And, asked who he would like to partner in doubles, Federer said: “I would love to play with Rafa.
“Our rivalry has been so special and I have seen his wicked forehand go past me too often, so it would be nice to have him on my team and actually admire his forehand and admire his shotmaking.”
Tennis greats Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe will captain the Europe and Rest of the World teams at the new event.
