Roger Federer is currently playing exhibition matches in 5 countries in South America against Alexander Zverev and during his stay in Argentina, he experienced a pleasant surprise.

After the match against Alexander Zverev, he saw the video of Diego Maradona saying: "Hi master, machine, how I like to call you. You were, you are and you will be the greatest. There is no one like you. If you have a problem in our country you can call me and tell me what you need. A big kiss to your wife and children. You are the greatest ever."
After this, Roger said: "I got to know Riquelme, he is a legend. Argentina is passionate in all sports, but more in football, for Messi, Maradona, Riquelme. I also saw Diego a couple of times, figures like him are inspiring."
During their stay together in South America, Zverev spoke about Roger when he said: "I watched him throughout my childhood as he has been playing for 20 years, he is an unbelievable tennis player, person, legend, everything. It's a great honor for me to play five matches with him in countries I never was into, I have never been to Argentina and to the countries we will go in, so it's gonna be great, a lot of fun and hopefully we will play great matches too."
