“Roger Federer Reveals a Glimpse Into His Personal Life Away From the Tennis Court”
“Midway through, just him being there, fly on the wall type of thing,” Roger remembered, “he told the team, ‘I’m catching such incredible footage that this would be too much of a pity if we didn’t share it with his fans.’
As for how Joe pitched it to the tennis champ, Roger added, “‘People would love to see what you’re going through, the vulnerability and also the beauty of your career.’
And soon it was clear he wasn’t overselling the footage.
“And when he sent me a rough cut a couple of weeks later,” Roger continued with a laugh, “I was watching the movie with my wife and I was like, ‘Oh, it is good. Oh my god what do I do now?’ And now we’re here at the Tribeca Film Festival, it’s pretty crazy.”
