The sight of Roger Federer on a padel court has rekindled the flame among fans. And inevitably, we anticipate a future Nadal / Federer association on the court or even a Switzerland vs Spain opposition thus perpetuating one of the most historic rivalries in the history of sport.

With a post that exceeds 3 million views, well beyond the publicity he does on this sport in full growth on the side of the country which hosted the last world championships, the United Arab Emirates, Roger Federer suggests that he could invest at least sportingly in this sport with his tweet.

First, because a publication on its social networks is certainly not insignificant. Especially since his partner is his captain of the Swiss Davis Cup team, Severin Luthi. And it turns out that he has already played and participated in a padel exhibition...

Severin Lüthi: Federer's former coach with a passion for padel

A few images are not enough to know Roger's real involvement. However, we remember the words of Ivan Ljubicic, who prophesied an interest from Roger the day he would end his tennis career. Find the interview we had conducted at Tennis Padel Soleil just below:

Ivan Ljubicic: “Roger Federer follows the padel”

Finally, Roger is neither the first nor the last of the former professional tennis players to take up padel. We inevitably think of the great Italian champion, Roberta Vinci, finalist of the US Open, who began a second successful career in padel, with a bronze medal obtained in Dubai with the Squadra Azzura.

To return to our subject, Rafael Nadal is already invested in padel for several years. Player, but also investor in his academy in Mallorca which has hosted a WPT Challenger last season.

Already seen separately on the slopes, will Rafa and Roger soon be in the 20×10 at the same time? That's what all the fans are hoping for!
