WATCH: Federer shows off acting skills in ad with De Niro

Not many people want Roger Federer to start a second, non-tennis career any time soon, but if he does, acting might be an attractive option.

"Early Oscar favorite?" Federer joked on Twitter, replying one of the many comments he got from adoring fans.

Speaking of Federer and Switzerland: The 20-time Slam champion is scheduled to play the clay-court Geneva Open ATP 250 event, which begins on May 16.
