Kylian Mbappé has never hidden his admiration for Roger Federer, and was able to demonstrate it in person in a meeting between the two in Paris, which they immortalized with a photo broadcast on social networks.
The Swiss Federer took advantage of his rest day at the Roland Garros tournament to meet the French striker, this season’s top scorer in Ligue 1 and an icon of the French national team that won the World Cup last year.
‘”Great to meet you” (“Great to meet you”), wrote Federer on Twitter, above a photo in which it is seen how the Paris Saint-Germain footballer gives him a shirt with the “number 10” that he wears with the “Bleus”.
Federer faces German Oscar Otte in the second round at Roland Garros, while Mbappé awaits a friendly clash with France against Bolivia next Sunday.
The tennis-football connection at Roland Garros did not end there: former German tennis player Boris Becker and his compatriot Thomas Tuchel, PSG coach, participated together in a television program at the facilities of the Paris tournament. EFE
