Roger Federer took some time out of his busy schedule to interact with tennis fans on Twitter by doing a question-and-answer session.
These days Federer is not spending a lot of time on the court as a retired player but he is remaining busy. He was in the US recently taking part in the Met Gala as a co-chair after which he made his way down to South Beach for the F1 Grand Prix in Miami.
