Not that there weren't enough pictures from Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev's trip to South America. Be it the reception in Buenos Aires, including a message from Diego Maradona, or the aerial photos of the sold-out stadium in Mexico City. If you still need information, the US broadcaster ESPN will help you with documentation on December 17th.
"Roger Federer - Everywhere is home" is the title of the film presented by Tom Rinaldi. Federer and Zverev know Rinaldi well, the ESPN man was responsible for most of the on-court interviews at the US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium. "I interviewed Federer dozens of times before this trip, but on this trip, in airplanes, changing rooms, hotel rooms, and also between police escorts, my understanding of him has almost completely changed."
Federer with the most energy
"The reach of his fame," continued Rinaldi in a press release. "His energy reserves, his connection with the fans - and the amount of goodwill that he brings about - these things are something I've never seen before."
Federer and Zverev opened in Buenos Aires, Quito, Santiago de Chile and Mexico City, the appearance in Bogota had to be canceled due to a curfew. "At the end of the tour, after the fourth night in a row with less than four hours of sleep, after playing his last two matches at altitudes above 7,000 and 9,000 feet, he was still the one with the most energy on his team."
The documentation will initially only be seen in North America. It has not yet been determined whether and when ESPN will grant rights to Europe.
