Roger Federer and his wife Mirka enjoyed the NBA Eastern Conference semi-final match between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat courtside at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, May 2.

Federer and his wife landed in New York on Saturday, April 29, ahead of the 20-time Slam champion's co-chairing duties at the 2023 Met Gala. Federer had confirmed his presence at the event in January, sharing the news that he would be co-hosting alongside Dua Lipa, Michaela Cole and Penelope Cruz.

The former World No. 1 took to social media on Monday to give fans a glimpse into his time at the event. While Federer donned a classic black tuxedo, his wife Mirka opted for a pink semi-sheer gown with feathered details.

"Happy Met Gala 2023," Federer captioned the post on Instagram.

Following the Met Gala, the couple took advantage of their time in New York to indulge in some more recreational activities. They watched the Knicks level the playoff series 1-1 at the Madison Square Garden, winning the game 111-105 on the back of Jalen Brunson's 30 points.

Comedians Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock were also in attendance, along with Hollywood stars Jessica Alba and Madelyn Cline, among others.
