Dressed like a mail courier? Federer delivering so far at French Open
The 2009 champion fields an entertaining question about his choice of kit colors.
A return to Roland Garros for the first time in four years isn't the only topic of discussion Roger Federer is leading in Paris this week.
Following his 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over lucky loser Oscar Otte in the second round of the French Open Wednesday, Federer's fashion selection was the center of an entertaining exchange at his post-match press conference.
Recognizing the color tones selected were unique to the typical Federer collection, a journalist suggested the brown and cream look was akin to a parcel delivery uniform. The 2009 Roland Garros winner was jokingly asked if he would consider becoming a brand ambassador for an international courier, because 'on the court, he always delivers.'
Federer responded with laughter, "Nicely said." and added, "I can tell you they were not the inspiration for this outfit. It was more trying to go back in time a little bit to the '70s. I haven't worn brown ever and cream. And I thought it would be a nice look, Uniqlo thought the same. When we saw it, we all liked it."
The 20-time Grand Slam champion will meet Casper Ruud in the third round on Friday.
