Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev finally arrive n Mexico after an extremely complicated stop in Bogota. Unfortunately, the duo was not able to play their exhibition match in Colombia because of the riots. However, they promised to try to go back in the future whenever the situation normalizes.
Federer, Zverev in Mexico
Roger and Sascha arrived in Mexico where they are set to break the attendance for a tennis match. In fact, they will perform at La Plaza Mexico where they should attract a crowd of 43,000 fans.
“I like to tell [to the fans] that this will be a big moment I think for all of us, for all the tennis players. Maybe for the sport of tennis. Playing in a tennis match for Sascha and myself in a record-breaking match. To be part of something like this, it’s not an everyday situation. I will be nervous; I will be excited. I hope that the crowd is going to be absolutely crazy, loud, and excited to sort of see me for the first time as a professional as I was here long long time here as a junior.”
