Journalist reveals awkward question to Roger Federer

Roger Federer who is fresh from the success at Swiss Indoors last week, will be eyeing his 100th career title in Paris Masters. The Swiss is always very smiley and available with everyone, including journalists. A funny thing happened with the Italian reporter Stefano Meloccaro, who works on Sky Sport. Speaking to Tennis World USA, Meloccaro said: “Once at Wimbledon practice courts I asked Federer if he played with me for some minutes’. What did Federer reply? “He looks at my face, my racket, shoes, seems a little bit uncertain. He puts his hand on my shoulder and tells me, Shoes are okay, you have the racquet... Keep training, maybe one day or the other we hit a couple of balls.”
