Roger Federer took time out this past week to surprise a health worker from New York who has been helping to battle against the Coronavirus.

Federer surprised Christianne Calderon; who is a nurse practitioner; with ESPN gathering some of the best athletes to give their thanks to her; which included the Swiss legend.

“People think we are superheroes, we the athletes,” he said. “But we think the same about somebody like you Christianne, you are the hero because you actually do save lives, you actually do make that difference.”

“Oh my God!” Calderon said when she saw Federer appear. “I’m shaking.”
