Fête le Mur
Founded by 1983 Roland Garros champion Yannick Noah, Fête le Mur enables children in unlikely communities to play tennis.
“The idea of tennis runs way deeper here than in our world where it’s always about how can I improve, how can I be the next best thing,” Federer says. “Tennis is almost a way of life for them.”
Meeting with three local players, Federer walks them through groundstrokes and serves before sitting down and hearing their stories. During the serve demonstration, one of the girls humorously calls out “Not bad!” to the 20-time Grand Slam champion.
