SHANGHAI: Roger Federer is like a kid in a candy shop when he talks about his upcoming India visit. “I’m so incredibly excited to be going to India,” he says laughing, his eyes lighting up.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion will be in New Delhi from December 6 to 8 for Mahesh Bhupathi’s International Premier Tennis League, a pan-Asian, inter-city affair, for which he’ll turn out for the Indian Aces.
“For me going to India is like going to South America, like I felt in my initial years,” Federer said.
“It feels unreal because you’ve wanted it to happen for so long, and then finally it’s happening.” Federer said India intrigued him. (Agencies)
