In the show, Federer spoke on a wide range of topics from how it all started for him to how much he is enjoying the post-retirement phase.

When asked by Noah if he ever imagined as a youngster that he would have such an iconic career, Federer replied: “No, I didn’t know it was going to turn out this good. I mean in Switzerland, we don’t dream this big. We hope to be good but not great.”

Please believe me, I am a member!” The audience was left laughing into splits – a hilarious incident indeed.
