Mikaela Shiffrin and Roger Federer are two renowned sports personalities who have attracted global audiences with their outstanding achievement. While Mikaela Shiffrin is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Federer is a legendary tennis player. In 2018, the two met during an interview while discussing their food preferences at the Laver Cup in Chicago.
Now, a throwback video of the iconic interview has resurfaced online, leaving the internet in awe of sports personalities. The clip in question details what happened at the very end of the interview, when Mikaela Shiffrin and Roger Federer gave their closing statements to conclude the interview.
Concluding, Shiffrin said, “Congratulations. Besides, I’ve always wanted to tell you that. Congratulations on an amazing career – it’s not over yet; make sure you say that” as she held Federer’s hands without leaving them for a moment. When Federer tried to loosen his drip, Shiffrin quickly added, “And, I’m not gonna hold your hand anymore.”
Shiffrin let go of Federer’s hands and it made the tennis legend laugh. Smiling contagiously at his statement, the Swiss tennis players concluded: “All the best. It was a fun interview. I liked that.” After all was said and done, Shiffrin gasped, “Oh my god” as she quickly moved away from her chair, appearing to crumble at any moment from being stunned by her interaction with Roger Federer.
Shiffrin’s genuine reaction had the audience behind the camera booing and cheering, meanwhile even Federer burst into uncontrollable laughter. Watch the excerpt from their interview below:

Another chimed in to say: ‘It’s not so much his greatness as a tennis player, although that’s there, but his greatness as a human being, which I think makes us all fall in love even more of this Saint of a human. Being.”
It’s not so much his greatness as a tennis player, although it’s there, but his greatness as a human being, that I think makes us all fall even more in love with this Saint of a Human Being.
