Roger Federer was one of the 25,000 fans in the Letzigrund Stadium’s sold-out crowd when Neeraj Chopra of India and other elite athletes from across the world competed in the Zurich leg of the Diamond League.
On Thursday night, the 20-time grand slam champion was present along with his wife Mirka, their children Charlene Riva and Myla Rose, as well as parents Robert and Lynette.
American sprinter Noah Lyles, who won the 200-meter event in 19.80 seconds, expressed his gratitude for the tennis great’s attendance.
Roger Federer was observed trying his hand at something different about two months ago: performing with the well-known band Coldplay.
Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, can be seen introducing Roger Federer as “an original band member” as Federer enters the Zurich stage in a social media video.
The band then starts playing Don’t Panic, one of the songs from the album Parachutes, after the band’s lead singer and lyricist declares, “The band’s back together.” Martin requests the band to be silent at one point in the song and implores Federer to keep playing his shaker solo.
