(VIDEO) Roger Federer gets lesson in pizza making during 24 Hours in... YouTube series in New York
ATP
Roger
Federer received pizza-making lessons in New York as part of a series of videos
by Uniqlo.
The 20-time
Grand Slam champion is featured in the series called "24 hours with Roger
Federer in NYC," where he explores the streets of the American city.
Federer will appear in four episodes of the Uniqlo series, as he has been the
main ambassador for the Japanese company since 2017 when he left Nike.
In the
video titled 'Rollin in the Dough,' Federer is seen at 'Scarr's Pizza,'
learning how to toss and bake pizza with the owner, Scarr Pimentel, and then
enjoying a slice.
"Do
you think you can maybe teach me some of the tricks on how to make a pizza? I
mean, if I come home, you know, super dad, let me show them I learned something
in New York City. I'm looking forward to reuniting with the family and having a
pizza night," Federer said to Pimentel.
In the
introductory video, the former world No. 1 expressed his admiration for the
city of New York, where the US Open takes place. Federer has fond memories of
the tournament, having won it five times in a row between 2004 and 2008, and
reaching two finals, one against Juan Martín del Potro in 2009 and another
against Novak Djokovic in 2015.
Federer
praised the city's unique style and his love for it, as well as the
enthusiastic tennis fans who make it one of the most vibrant tennis
environments in the world.
"I'm returning
to the home of the US Open, the city that gave us a slam, celebrated for its
innovation, bold style, and some of the liveliest fans tennis has ever known. I
love meeting good people who do their work from a place of passion, who share a
love for tennis too. I love New York.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
