Some excited fans have started making their way to the venue with many donning t-shirts of their favourite player. Fans hope to meet Federer in person.
“I can’t wait to see him and I hope to meet him in person. He is just a wonderful person, especially the way he is after matches; the way he greats his opponent and I totally watch until the end until he is making the signature and gives his waves.”
