'One Of My Dream Is To Get Coffee With Him': Garcia On 'Inspirational' Federer
WTA
Roger Federer touched and charmed many tennis hearts throughout his illustrious career thanks to his unparalleled charisma and down-to-earth personality.
Federer, winner of 20 Grand Slams and undoubtedly one of the greatest tennis players in history, is revered not just by tennis fans but also by his fellow pros. Even during his official retirement from the sport, he wasn't the only one whipping away the tears.
WTA star Caroline Garcia is certainly among them. The Frenchwoman was enchanted after watching one of the Swiss interviews from last year, where he was a guest on The Daily Show, hosted by South African comedian Trevor Noah.
Federer talked about a range of topics related to his tennis career and revealed an awkward interaction in which he was blanked by a security guard while trying to access the gates of Wimbledon despite possessing a lifetime membership at the All England Club.
Garcia took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her ideal experience if she were to meet the Swiss tennis legend. Although Federer has retired from the sport, he has made sporadic appearances in tennis venues and was at Wimbledon last season, where he was feted for his record at the tournament.
"How did I miss @rogerfederer interview with @Trevornoah from last year! Roger is such an inspiration One of dream is propoably to get a coffee with him and talk about life, tennis, inspiration, way through life, way, getting a member card to Wimbledon.… anything really !"— Garcia wrote in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter)
World No. 20 Garcia is in Sydney preparing to spearhead France's bid in the second edition of the United Cup, which kicks on Friday, December 29. The 30-year-old had a captivating offseason in which she toured around Antarctica. She began her preparations for the new season at the World Tennis League.

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
