Tennis icon Roger Federer, the 20-time Grand Slam champion, recently made a special appearance at the US Open, his first since retiring from professional tennis. During a promotional event for his new coffee table book, which delves into his illustrious career, Federer found himself on the ‘Today’ show. The moment took an unexpected turn when NBA superstar Stephen Curry made a surprise appearance.
Curry’s arrival coincided with Federer’s viewing of a video showcasing his own basketball skills. The two athletes embraced warmly, with Federer extending congratulations to Curry for his recent Olympic gold medal win with the US basketball team at the Paris Games.
“Congrats man (on the Olympics gold)! That was unreal. Incredible shots there at the end,” Federer remarked. Curry responded with a touch of humor, “They look just like the reps I just saw in the video that you had in San Francisco.” This playful exchange highlighted the mutual admiration between these two sporting legends, showcasing a camaraderie that transcends different disciplines.
