Roger Federer shares a glimpse from his trip to the United States

The 42-year-old shared snapshots from his trip to the United States in a recent social media post.

Starting in San Francisco, the former World No. 1 visited the Chase Center which will be the official venue for the 2025 Laver Cup. The Swiss then visited Stanford University and attended the Oscars with his wife Mirka. He also launched a luxury sunglasses line with Oliver Peoples.

Federer shared a recap of his trip on Instagram on March 15, including moments like enjoying a sunset with Mirka and socializing with Ana Ivanovic and her husband Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Dwayne Johnson.

"Loving La La Land," the 20-time Grand Slam champion wrote on Instagram.

Jim Courier hails Novak Djokovic as undisputed tennis GOAT over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer

Jim Courier has weighed in on the ongoing Greatest of All Time (GOAT) discussion, asserting that Novak Djokovic surpasses his competitors based on statistical evidence.

"Statistically, it's over. For now, unless Nadal somehow is able to find something and get back in the conversation with more Majors," Jim Courier said on the Tennis Channel.

In terms of Majors, Nadal has collected 22 and Federer 20, both falling short of Djokovic’s impressive haul of 24 Grand Slam titles. Courier reinforced his argument by referring to the Serb’s superior head-to-head records, leading the Swiss 24-16 and narrowly edging the Spaniard 30-29.

"But there's a lot to it. It's not just the Major titles, it's also the head-to-head record. Novak has a sizeable head-to-head lead over Federer but a narrow one over Nadal, it's close," he added.
