Roger Federer stars in weird video - Can he really play the piano?
ROGER FEDERER has been filmed ‘playing the piano’ in a new advert for Uniqlo.
Roger Federer stars in new commercial for sponsor Uniqlo
Federer is the face of Uniqlo after ditching Nike back in the summer.
The tennis legend signed an eye-watering £227m, 10-year deal with the Japanese clothing company.
Federer now wears Uniqlo on court and his sponsors no doubt hope he will compete at the Tokyo Olympics next year.
Federer is widely considered the greatest male tennis player of all time, having collected 20 Grand Slam titles to date.
And the 37-year-old apparently has another talent: playing the piano.
In a new advert for Uniqlo, the Swiss ace is videoed playing on a piano in an impossibly cool living room.
He stresses how important it is to focus on things outside of tennis, before taking a long look at his new jeans.
The advert on instagram naturally drew in Roger Federer fans, many of whom expressed their love for the eight-time Wimbledon champion.
But can Federer actually play the piano? Or was this simply a smooth piece of advertising?
Well, the answer is yes! He can run the rule over the ivory as well as the baseline.
Federer is said to have learned the piano after having sessions as a child.
Roger Federer says he has 'no plans' for retirement
He is also supposedly a flautist - but that may be the extent of his musical talents.
Back in 2013, Federer stared in a Credit Suisse advert where he picked out a violin from his bag and tried to play it.
The noise emitted wasn’t great and Federer quickly gave up!
