Trevor Noah heaps praise on Federer: "You're a great ambassador for the sport of tennis and honestly, you're a great ambassador for human beings"

Roger Federer was a guest on the Daily Show with Trevor Noah and the host heaped praise on Federer for being a great ambassador for tennis among many other things.

Federer recently retired from tennis but his role in the sport is not changing. Still, a crowd magnet wherever he goes, Federer is keen on promoting tennis around the world in his free time as he enjoys a more casual life. Noah and Federer have known each other for years as they both hail from South Africa.

Noah played with Federer in his South Africa charity match that also had Bill Gates and Nadal taking part. When the Swiss visited him at his show, he praised him heavily:

"You're a great ambassador for Switzerland. You're a great ambassador for the sport of tennis. And honestly, you're a great ambassador for human beings. Thank you for everything you've done. We appreciate you so much. I've noticed that you've almost seamlessly slid into everything. You know, your clothing is everywhere, your shoes -- like one of my camera guys on the team, he was telling me like, these are like walking on clouds."

Noah added:

"And you've done everything exceptionally. Your philanthropy, all of the work you've done to help education in Africa. Roger Federer has excelled at everything in life!"
