Roger Federer is polarizing the attention in Perth.

The Swiss Legend has attracted 6,000 people for his training ahead of the Hopman Cup and soon after he hit the Cottesloe beach to play some tennis on the sand.

Roger was ecstatic from the reception, and he also enjoyed a couple of volleys by the sea.

Happy Roger

After his beach appearance, Roger commented

“I’m super happy to be back here in Western Australia

It’s been 15 years – maybe too long – but I’m very happy I’m still playing tennis at this age, and I still get an opportunity to come back. 

The welcome yesterday I received with 6000 people in the stadium was amazing.”
