Federer Politely Reminds Fan to Social Distance

Meeting Roger Federer was such a big thrill for one Fed fan, he forgot Coronavirus safety protocol.

Watch this enthusiastic Fed fan, sporting an RF baseball cap with his mask down, approach Federer for a selfie in Dubai.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion agrees to the request, first politely reminding the fan “Yeah, just a little bit of distance, I know it’s a bit of a pain.”


Good to see the 39-year-old Swiss still taking time out to accommodate fans while emphasizing safety first.
