As tennis descends upon Indian Wells next week, several stars took time off the court to enjoy a taste of the entertainment scene in the LA area.
Roger Federer won’t be playing the event, but the Swiss arrived last weekend in LA after enjoying a weekend at the Oscars he joined good friend Tommy Haas courtside at an LA Lakers-Atlanta Hawks game Friday night.
Federer also met with Hawks star Thabo Sefolosha and former great Dominique Wilkins.

Milos Raonic, who’s been recovering from injury, was also there. We know he’s a big basketball fan.
And budding superstar and California native Taylor Fritz also made an appearance.

“We talked about tennis, scheduling and what we’re up to,” Fritz told the ATP. “I chatted a little about soccer with Federer. They’re both really good guys. I definitely wasn’t expecting to run into them.”
Fritz also met some of the players as well.
