Roger Federer and Sascha Zverev had a fantastic reception as soon as they arrived in Buenos Aires. Their exhibition has been hailed as the sports event of the year in Argentina.
Roger was supposed to play local hero Juan Martin Del Potro, but unfortunately, the Tower of Tandil couldn’t make it. Therefore, Sascha Zverev was the obvious substitute as he was the one that was about to tour with Roger anyway in Latin America.
Here the video of their fantastic reception as soon as Roger and Sascha came out from the airport.
