Roger Federer recently shared a light-hearted moment on the golf course with French tennis player Alexandre Muller and his girlfriend Julie Demoulins in Dubai. The trio played at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, and Muller captured the experience on social media. He called Federer the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) not only in tennis but also on the golf course, adding a humorous touch to the outing.
Muller, who has previously expressed admiration for Federer, noted in a past interview that he would love to share a meal with the Swiss legend. He also mentioned his interest in golf, highlighting his enjoyment of the sport despite its challenges.
Federer himself has recently embraced golf as a new hobby, sharing his journey on Instagram earlier this year. In a humorous post, he shared a clip of himself on the course, asking for tips as he began learning the game. During a press event in August, Federer joked about wanting to be “good enough” at golf to avoid constantly retrieving balls from the bushes, demonstrating his signature charm and humility.
This playful golf session came amid Federer’s continued presence in the tennis world, recently highlighted by his heartfelt tribute to Rafael Nadal following Nadal’s retirement announcement. Federer’s ability to connect with fellow athletes across sports continues to endear him to fans worldwide.
