Roger Federer and DJ BoBo in Laughfest Before Match for Africa [Video]
by Tom Gainey

Roger Federer’s exhibition match against Rafael Nadal is less than a week away and the Swiss is hard at work promoting the event. I should say it “appears” he’s hard at work.

In the video clip below, Federer loses control laughing as he tries to do a promo with DJ BoBo, who if you don’t know is a popular Swiss music star and producer (I had to look it up!). Federer presents DJ BoBo with the racquet he used to win Wimbledon to use for a charity project. But it turns out to be quite a laughing matter.

Federer and Nadal will play on the 21st in Zurich and then on the 22nd in Madrid. Proceeds will go to each player’s foundation and charity.

Translations are welcome.

I will sign this racket and give it to you and hope to be able to help you with your project and I hope you will get a lot of money at the auction.

BoBo: I am ready
RF: I’m not yet. (laughing). Now we are where we didn’t want to be.
BoBo: Turn the film back, all is well.
Camera-women: This is the filming effect.
BoBo: May I start now ?
RF: You may. I’m freezing. Its awfully cold outside now. (laughing)
BoBo: So, let us try once more.
RF: Let us try quickly … (laughing)
BoBo: I simply try, if we burst out in laughter, we are in no danger.
BoBo: Hello to all of you, I am …(RF lauging)
Its working really fine. We could even do a “making of”. Hav’nt we filmed a similar sceen at the “Emmies” ? There we advanced further before we burst out in laughter!
RF: It was before 9AM. … We try again.
BoBo to the voice: Give me a signal please when we may start. Just say “one-two-go”.
RF: Say “action”
BoBo: Hellow all
Camera-women: “Good evening”
RF: Good morning
(I do not understand a short passage, they speak another swiss dialect than I do)
RF: I think we should go into the house and have a cup of hot tea.
BoBo: Let’s try once more. If it doesn’t work we will have a cup of tea afterwards.
RF: We’ll drink tea. (to Camera-women) but please do not laugh now.
BoBo: if you do, you’ll have to walk before the camera too.
RF: Now I really try.
BoBo: You know, fun is permitted. One, two three: Good evening to all of you. (laughing)
RF: We will come back and try later.
Bobo: Yes we will.
