Roger Federer took up a new hobby after his retirement from tennis as the Swiss was seen golfing. He also asked for any pointers for his swing, after which Sebastian Korda's sister and World No. 1 golfer Nelly has hilariously put her hat in the ring for a coaching job.
Federer retired from tennis after the Laver Cup in 2022. He played his last professional match in doubles, paired with Rafael Nadal. The duo lost to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe in the super tiebreak.
Two years into retirement, the Swiss has made his return to a sport, albeit, golf as he showed off his skills via Instagram on June 5.
"Trying to pick up a new hobby. Wish me luck... Any pointers?," he wrote.
Nelly Korda has now stepped up and offered her coaching advice to Federer.
"Do you need a coach?" Nelly Korda commented.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Korda was left stunned by the Swiss' swing and wrote:
"Damn."
Nelly and Sebastian Korda are both enjoying a good year, professionally. The golf pro made history as she won five straight tour titles which also included Chevron Championships, her second major.
Sebastian, on the other hand, has been taking giant strides in his tennis career, with winning a doubles title at the Madrid Open. He also reached the third round at the Australian Open and French Open.

"At the end I was relieved, I think, and happy to retire. It ended in the most perfect way at the Laver Cup.I was surrounded by my biggest rivals, and my family was there and my friends. For me it felt like, “OK, I’m good now. I don’t need to chase that itch anymore,” he said to The New York Times.
