First of all, the Swiss icon played chess with a very young master of this sport: “Roger Federer goes to Columbus Park to face an unlikely opponent: chess master Tani Adewumi.
This young Nigerian immigrant learned the game while living in a shelter in New York. Already a master, he aspired to become a grand master before the age of fourteen. Let’s see how the maestro does,” Uniqlo describes. Next, Roger Federer explored how pizza is made: “A trip to New York wouldn’t be complete without a slice of pizza. And for Roger, not just any share.
He stops at Scarr’s Pizza where the man himself, Scarr Pimentel, shows Roger how his magic is done and helps him with his throw,” Uniqlo describes. Federer also nurtured his artistic side: “Join Roger, a lifelong art fan, for a special behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum of Modern Art.
Spend a peaceful time with him in the famous gallery that houses Claude Monet’s beloved water lilies, and follow him into the Conservation Center where he will discover one of the museum’s most rarely seen and fascinating spaces, where curators maintain and restore MoMA’s iconic works,” Uniqlo once again describes.
“Finally, Roger surprised children who had thanked him with a heart-warming video. Today, Roger was able to thank them personally with a surprise visit and a tennis session on their court“, explains Uniqlo.
