With Plan A, the comedians don’t make it to the show grounds. But Federer is still far from safe after his opening defeat.

The “Zwei am Morge” crew caused a stir last year when they played tennis on Federer’s property in Rapperswil.

Hand on heart: would you have thought that you would get away with your tricks and meet Roger Federer?
Ramin Yousofzai: I’ll be honest with you: after the first trick didn’t work, the hope was half a percent. We had the feeling that it wouldn’t work and we were standing outside in front of the facility with all the other fans. That’s why it took us five minutes to calm down once we were inside. My heart rate was 99,200.

How was Federer feeling?
He lost the match and just came out for the official interviews. We just caught him before he disappeared back into the player area. So the moment was really short. But when I called “Hey Roger” he turned around. I was able to give him the letter and say that we wanted to deliver it personally. He thanked him – very quietly. When I called out “come back stronger” he smiled and said: “Okay.”

Have you already received an answer from him?
No, unfortunately there has been no response yet. We hope he hasn’t thrown away the invitation and looks at it in peace. And then gives us an answer.

–

Have there been any other consequences?
No, not yet. It was just a rascal prank. “Zwei am Morge” is a comedy channel, so it means poking around with actors, events, etc. We didn’t want any harm and had no intention of harming anyone. In addition, the action was subsequently shown very transparently or dissolved. Sorry, dear organizers of the Geneva Open, if we caused any inconvenience – we just want Federer to be on our show (laughs).

–

Where did this obsession with Federer come from?
As the up-and-coming and only morning show in Switzerland, our goal is to bring the greatest possible guest into the studio. We owe that to our community. And we agreed in all meetings that Federer would be the greatest possible. After Rainer Maria Salzgeber and finally Michael von der Heide, that would be something completely different.

–

What question would you want to ask him?
We already have a few ideas, but the whole interview is not ready yet, it has to come spontaneously. But the first question would be clear. We want to know if he found out that we were playing a match on his new, sacred turf.
