Video - When Federer Got Beaten by a Journalist's Tweener Winner in Halle
Roger Federer has left his mark on the Halle tournament. The Swiss player has won this grass-court tournament 10 times.
But he also made a memorable impression with a humorous scene in 2015. After qualifying for the final by defeating Ivo Karlovic, Federer agreed to hit some balls with Eurosport journalist Matthias Stach, who was interviewing him.
As the two exchanged volleys at the net while chatting, Roger played a lob, to which Stach responded with a fake smash followed by a magnificent tweener winner.
The shot left Federer frozen in place and unable to hold back his laughter.
