Roger Federer In A Gucci Cobra Tuxedo? “It’s Business In The Front, Party In The Back” [Video]

Is that a clown’s jacket? ROFL

The Met gala is huge here. the event of the year and Roger has a great relationship with Anna Wintour. I love Roger, but the cobra tux… a bit much for me. Mirka looked beautiful. Nice to see this side of them

May 2nd, 2017 at 12:11 pm

Giles – Might not be a “clown’s jacket”… but a joke for sure

May 2nd, 2017 at 12:12 pm

Or even a motor cycle gang leader! Lol

May 2nd, 2017 at 12:29 pm

Mirka looks gorgeous, love the dress ….

May 2nd, 2017 at 12:57 pm

That’s the tackiest jacket ever. Surprised Roger would allow himself to be talked into wearing something so atrocious.

May 2nd, 2017 at 1:16 pm

What were you thinking Roger ? ….

May 2nd, 2017 at 1:33 pm

Met gala welcomes the GOAT of Tennis. Seems right. The Cobra represents the quick strike tennis he has done against his opponents this year. Awesome!
Fed’s jacket is mellow compared to others:

It’s the Met Gala and everything is overboard. I think the jacket rocked especially in keeping with the theme of the evening. Way to rock the boat Roger!

Proof that money cannot buy you class, and im talking about Kendal Jenner whos a beautiful woman, but my goodness theres a difference between dressing sexily and looking tacky, and this is from a woman that wrote the book on dressing provocativly ….

That jacket scared me too……but I laughed just the same…..

May 2nd, 2017 at 11:24 pm

Fed should have arrived in a Harley Davidson and a proper sunglass, only way to make that outfit work, lol

Thankyou Madmax although id already seen most of the pictures on FB, the guy is just irrisistible, and has James Bond written all over him ;-) ….

May 3rd, 2017 at 12:52 pm

Willow,

You are talking about Roger, right? :-)

May 3rd, 2017 at 1:34 pm

Madmax nah sorry lol, but you knew that anyway, Rogers nice enough dont get me wrong, but theres only one man out there that could pull off JB , and thats HJ :-) ….

May 3rd, 2017 at 2:16 pm

Djokovic of the Big 4 wears a tux the best of them, given his skinny frame and hair, and the facial features sought in male models.
With Roger a close second. Pirate look Rafa was very hot with the females. and gays like his rear end so the Armani underwear ads. Andy, though he cleans up well, is generally scruffy.
Apparently, the reason for no higher fashion opportunities for Novak is he spent 3-4 years on the fashionista black list, for the crime of wearing a jacket to a Miami Gala that was covered with bright pink and phosphorescent green so so side deals. Then Wintour started rehabbing him and he’s dong OK since 2014 with fashionista approval.
But I would say Roger’s Cobra jacket is at least as bad as Djokovics garish palm tree jacket….and worse than his gold lame` and cream outfit and tennis bags embroidered with the number 15 that Nike made for his 15th Slam trophy. The 15 on the bags was quickly noted and discussed before the match even started and Andy Roddick almost made it into a super embarrassment.
And I join all in saying Mirka looks excellent. Better than she has for 7-8 years. It isn’t just the outfit, she has lost weight and gotten fitter.

May 3rd, 2017 at 8:40 pm

Hi all – quick note to say that I’ll be on the raod for a couple of weeks and won’t be on Tennis-X much, if at all. If Andy suddenly starts playing better, I will take credit for it :-)

I will TRY to set up a French Open ATP racquet bracket on May 20 but can’t promise that I will get to it. If someone else would like to do it, please feel free.

May 3rd, 2017 at 8:58 pm

@RZ….Good luck with your trip!..Hey,i remember last year u’re also made a trip and Andy won something…is it Queen or Wimby??Hope history repeat again this year RZ!!Oho ho ho!!…

May 3rd, 2017 at 9:26 pm

Well, Roger in this tux and Mirka in her pink tiger (also Gucci, some 2000+ US$) disaster of a sweater. I thought I’ve seen it all :)))

May 4th, 2017 at 2:31 am

Roger Looking good as always. GOAT

May 4th, 2017 at 3:50 am

Danica – It may be some fashion faux pas, but most people don’t care if the dress and the person in the dress (or suit for guys natch), looks good.
And Mirka looked better than she has for years..

Just a passing thought. Roger is not considered as “snake strike fast” as Djokovic, Rafa, Murray, guys like Monfils and Nishikori – but he is still very fast as a court mover with near perfect balance and footwork, and fast reflexes. And when he wasn’t fast enough when he got tired and was shanking and spraying balls all over the place, he got fast again by getting a bigger racket.
Fast enough, though, that wearing the cobra is appropriate.
And mongoose fits the defense into offense style of Rafa, Novak and now Andy…better than the snake comparision.. What’s faster than a snake strike – a critter that usually dodges them.

May 4th, 2017 at 5:45 am

Have
a
great
trip
RZ!

May 4th, 2017 at 6:48 am

RZ From me too ;-) ….

May 4th, 2017 at 6:59 am

If you know the occasion, you would know the rationale for Roger’s cobra tuxedo. It is most appropriate for the affair. Of all tennis players, Roger is the most at ease and best suited (pun intended) at any place one puts him in. Man of the world.

May 4th, 2017 at 9:18 am

Something a bit different (I think) – 6.30pm – to 10.30pm this evening on UK TV LIVE TENNIS: TIE BREAK TENS. Coverage of the event from Madrid in which only tie-breaks are played, as the players try to win each match by being the first to score ten points.

No idea if worth watching or how many players….anyway: it’s on Freeview 12; Sky 111 and Virgin 127 (HD194).

PS to RZ: Behave yourself and if you can’t don’t get caught.

May 4th, 2017 at 9:52 am

Willow, Margot – this “TIE BREAK TENS” quite interesting. PS: Grigor sitting with Maria.

May 4th, 2017 at 1:59 pm

Lame and arrogant personality. Hideous outfits. Shocking, really.

Speaking of overrated, disgusting & fake, Roddick is perfectly suited for the weak era “rival” Fed.
Fed fans have no understanding of why these two are always mentioned together. Get a clue.
Everywhere Fed goes, Roddick is always talked about. Roddick depended on him to look like a Fed victim, and not what he truly was, a clown that didn’t belong in tennis with real tennis players and legends. Roddick was obsessed with Fed.
He continued hosting shows and bashing Djoker because he was so jealous that less wealthy people from war-torn countries had better personalities and GOAT talent. More than Fed.
Fed depends on genetically unfortunate and injured opponents to capitalize in Slams.
The lucky “gentleman” had to be praised & voted sportsmanship man of the year,year after year, to make it look like physically inferior, washed up old players and Nadal were worthless… LMAO

May 4th, 2017 at 2:10 pm

I’d never wear it, but Fed pulls it off. Good for him for having a sense of humor: Business in the front Party in the back. Lol!

May 4th, 2017 at 4:17 pm

Compared to many outfits Roger’s was pretty tame but good for him for getting into the spirit of the party and enjoying himself.

May 4th, 2017 at 5:00 pm

I’m really starting to enjoy Truth’s posts. :-)

May 4th, 2017 at 5:08 pm

Oh dear Markus, just lie down in a darkened room and pray the moment will pass quickly….;)

May 5th, 2017 at 1:08 am

^ LOL ^

May 5th, 2017 at 5:04 am

I tried that, Margot, but it did not work. Now that I have accepted it, reading Truth’s posts makes me pass gas instead. It feels good. It may be gross but what can be more befitting?

May 5th, 2017 at 9:33 am

^ expelling a giant t**d perhaps?…;)

May 5th, 2017 at 9:57 am

must be for publicity… ghastly, common looking
