Both Diego Schwartzman and Federer were part of the Laver Cup for Team World and Team Europe respectively
Diego Schwartzman returned with an interesting gift from the Laver Cup, despite not being on the same team as Roger Federer – the Argentine has revealed. Schwartzman, who was a part of Team World at the Laver Cup, has revealed a funny incident involving him and Team World’s Roger Federer. Schwartzman’s Team World won the Laver Cup, which happened to be Federer’s last professional tournament.
“He laughs a lot about how I pronounce his name, ‘Rosher’, in the Argentine way. During the Laver Cup, he gave me his racket and he signed it writing ‘Rosher'”, revealed Schwartzmann. This year’s Laver Cup was marked by Federer’s retirement from professional tennis and besides Schwartzman, Stefanos Tsitsipas also received a signed racket from the Swiss star. After the Laver Cup ended, Tsitsipas posted a photo of him sleeping next to a signed Federer racket.
Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on Twitter, in response to this funny incident involving Schwartzman and Federer.
“Aww such a sweet “Rosher” story”, wrote a fan.
“I would say it is rather the way of pronouncing that Schwartzman has, even in Spanish. We know very well how to pronounce it”, wrote another fan.
“In the words of Maya Angelou… “people will never forget how you made them feel.” So true and Roger is a Master in making people feel good”, read another tweet.
“Dear Diego Schwartzman, now you have a very personalized memento from “Rosher” Federer”, tweeted another fan.
“How many signed racquets did he give away”, asked another fan.
“Lol Roger’s humor is really something else”, read another tweet.
