Former tennis player Roger Federer surprised the Golden State Warriors while they were in a practice session. Federer was visiting San Francisco and warmly greeted several members of the NBA team.
The tennis legend shared a few minutes with Stephen Curry and his Warriors teammates, while he took some shots at the basket. Federer also expressed excitement at being there.
Warriors’ home to host Laver Cup in 2025
The Chase Center, currently the home of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, is the venue used for a variety of events, not only sports, but also art and music.
Next year’s Laver Cup, the eighth edition of the event created by Roger Federer in honor of tennis great Rod Laver, will be held September 19-21.
“Chase Center will be the perfect setting to host the eighth edition of the event, in a cosmopolitan city that loves its sport but has been without a top-level men’s professional tennis event for more than 10 years,” said Tony Godsick, president of the Laver Cup.
It will be the first time that the three-day team tournament, which pits six of Europe’s top men’s players against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world, will be held on the west coast of the United States.
