Yes, it’s a cheap publicity stunt for a pasta company – but you can’t pretend the excitement the girls had when their tennis hero showed up out of nowhere !!
BACKSTORY – During the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, 13 years old Victory and 11 years old Carola gone SUPER VIRAL for their rooftop game, which took place on top of two buildings in Liguria, Italy.
The video was shared all over the world, with people who gave them huge props to find a way to play even if the fields were closed.
Fast forward to July … the girls said they would be interviewed by the media about their viral moment – not knowing that Roger Federer was secretly waiting behind the scenes!
During the interview, both girls praised Roger as their favorite player – with Vittoria saying, “If I had to meet him, I’d jump on him or be hit by stars!
This is when the current 4th place player in the world appeared out of nowhere – AND THE LOOK AT THE FACES OF THE GIRLS IS IN PRICE !!!
“We can’t believe it, Federer is on our roof !!!”
The moment was fantastic: they took selfies, chatted … and then they played tennis on the roof !!!
Federer and the girls shot a bit successfully for a while … but of course, some shots came short and became a danger underneath.
Nobody cared about this: lost balls are probably collectibles now!
The whole surprise was coordinated by the Barilla pasta company, which explains why everyone cut down the noodles after the game!
Federer also connected his new friends with another incredible experience – 2 voices for Rafael NadalTennis court !!
Awesome!!!
