Roger Federer returned to the Laver Cup a year after ending his career during last year’s edition of the event. The Swiss sat down with Jim Courier and answered a few questions. In one of them, he was supposed to indicate who would play him and his biggest sports rivals in a Hollywood movie.
Certainly, the career of the living tennis legend Roger Federer is a ready-made script for a movie. I would love to see such a film myself. The only question is who would play the role of Roger Federer.
It looks like Frances Tiafoe also wants to watch a movie about Roger Federer. He asked Federer a question in which he asked the Swiss to indicate which actor would play him and which actors would play the role of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Roger Federer had trouble answering, but he managed to come up with something.
The Swiss said that Leonardo DiCaprio could play him. Courier added that Ryan Reynolds would also be a good candidate. Courier and Federer asked the audience to choose the actor who would play Novak Djokovic. It was Tom Holland. The hardest thing for the Swiss was to choose the person who would play Rafael Nadal. Tiafoe also had no idea. Ultimately, Federer decided that Antonio Banderas would fit the role.
