Roger Federer will soon be present in Paris! But not for the Olympics or the upcoming French Open tournament of this year. Rather, it is for inaugurating a tennis court. After his long vacation in Thailand and then Vietnam, Federer is now set to make his presence known in France as well!
The Swiss Maestro is all ready to inaugurate the tennis court La Courneuve on Wednesday, May 22, this year. It is a commune in the Seine-Saint-Denis department of France. And there, Federer will be the one to take part in opening a new tennis court at the Boughera el Ouafi gymnasium, marking it as one of his many post-retirement milestones.
Roger Federer’s visit would be a part of the “Around the World” program, which is an initiative taken by Uniqlo. However, the campaign also further extends its collaboration with “Fete Le Mur” as well. And this was founded by a former French Open champion, Yannick Noah. However, this is not the first time that Federer has represented this program.
He has previously visited two cities in this regard. One in New York and the other in Shanghai. And his “24 hours with Roger” in those cities garnered a lot attention from his fans. But apart from the fun-filled adventures, it had an important goal.
The Fete Le Mur has been an integral part of making tennis a medium to reach out to young people in urban areas. And who better than Roger Federer to share his valuable experience with the youth?
Not only is he expected to motivate them through his top-tier achievements in his career, he is also expected to provide a glimpse of his prowess through some training sessions after the inauguration, just like he did when he visited Shanghai and New York as well.
