Roger Federer in his underwear and swim cap hanging from the ceiling! Former Swiss Legend, in an as-yet-unreleased video, was placed in a series of bizarre poses while hung from the ceiling in a harness so his body could be captured as a 3D figure via a high-tech scanner, as reported by the Daily Mail online.
Roger said about the video documentary Portrait of a Champion, which was presented by Credit Suisse banking in partnership with NBCUniversal Catalyst Showcases: “This new experience has given me a chance to push myself out of my comfort zone and opened my eyes to learning about the intricate processes of making art.
I was amazed at how much energy I got from art. I didn’t think it would happen to me, it’s a transition from my daily life. It’s peaceful. I think it’s very important to do other things, not just chasing a fuzzy tennis ball.”

When asked how the process of transforming it into an art installation felt, a typically soft-spoken Federer admitted it was tough at times, but he always had the end goal in mind. Roger told: “Of course you feel vulnerable, you know everyone is watching you and filming you.
I’m used to it on a tennis court, but I have my racket there, which is like my hammer from Thor, I have my suit which it’s like my uniform, my favorite shoes, my sash and then I’m ready to go, and when someone films you it’s not a problem.
In his underwear in a harness, and hanging there, is that a different situation? aside from the creative process, here’s what it will take to get a good end result.” He was recently photographed with wife Mirka alongside Vogue fashion icon Anna Wintour and Australian director Baz Luhrmann at a fashion event in Paris.
He also took part in a few NBA games and continued with his immense charity work.
