When he said to call him “Roger” just sums up the true class of Roger Federer.

Why? Thats his name, isn't it?

[@malsawmzela609]

​@@stephanbosch225 Brh you are d*mb af lol. The boy called him Mr. Federer, which shows respect but also makes them distant. Federer introduced himself as Roger, implying to the boy that he doesn't have to be so respectful towards him, making the situation more casual so the boy wouldn't be so nervous.

[@alexseisimonetti1382]

​@@stephanbosch225 because the kid called him "mr federer" out of respect, but correcting him to call him roger shows federers humble nature

[@TerryFGM]

wow, basic human courtesy... SO MUCH CLASS

[@scottwarren4998]

Djokovic shines brighter than Federer. Even if Federer and Djokovic both were born 1987, Djokovic would still lead h2h in slams vs Federer. Ao 2008 is a good example where young Djokovic beat Federer. So, Wawrinka is, and will always be Djokovic Achilles heel.
